Still alive.
She ain’t wrong, which is fucking sad as hell. Why can’t we elect a woman as president? What is wrong with us?
MICHELLE OBAMA, on whether a woman can get elected president:

“.. sadly, we ain’t ready. That’s why I’m like: don’t even look at me about running ‘cause you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. We got a lot of growing up to do ..”

Who votes which way is theater. What matters is Schumer guided his caucus to reward Trump's bad behavior, and he will only be emboldened the next time. I will never give to Schiff or Padilla again, and I will support primary challengers.
Trump grabs Dems by the pussy.

Dems: That's my pussy! Hands off!

Trump: Let me have my way with you, or I will make it so tens of millions of my constituents starve and lose their healthcare.

Dems: Take me! I'm yours!

Pathetic.

If Senate Dems vote to end the shutdown for only the promise of a vote on healthcare, I don't care if my CA Dem Senators vote against it, I am voting them out the first chance I get, and no more money to Senate Dems. Show a spine.

Trump’s Arc de T’rash.
Trump says his ballroom might cost more than $300 million but adds, "you know we're building the arc. Maybe we use it for the arc. We raised a lot of money for the ballroom, so maybe we'll put -- the arc is going to be incredible for Washington DC, so maybe we use it for the arc."

@stevevladeck.bsky.social As a paid subscriber to One First, please consider making Bonus 184 generally available. Most people don't understand how much judicial decisions assume a functioning Congress, and I am worried SCOTUS is going to dodge the tariff issue by declaring it a political question

We did not go from the Western Roman Empire to feudalism without intent. We did not go from feudalism to capitalism without intent. Somebody intends to transition from capitalism to something even worse. Pay attention.
IMHO, you can’t understand what’s happening to the US if u don’t know about the “network state” movement & its “parallel establishment” strategy, which includes building “parallel societies” (w/ their own physical territories) & “parallel institutions” in media, education, finance, science, etc. 1/

Someone should do an AI video of Biden dropping money on Red States followed by Trump dropping incendiaries to burn it all up.
there are a lot of wild things about the poop plane video but the one that baffles me the most is that you can imagine some angry republican making that exact video about biden or obama or bill clinton and the message of it would be extremely clear and obvious, and yet he posted it himself

This is pretty dark, dude. Also, the fact that we are unaware of objections does not mean objections have not been made.
They haven’t objected to being sent into U.S. cities.

They haven’t objected to extrajudicially killing foreigners abroad.

They haven’t objected to the politicization of the military.

But surely they will object to killing US citizens….
The military has now killed 27 people as if they were enemy soldiers in a war zone and not criminal suspects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

The White House claims Trump “has the heart of a humanitarian.” My question is whose heart? Has anyobody confirmed that this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner is still alive and with her heart intact?

Yep. This is the whole game. Republicans can end the shutdown today by doing away with the filibuster, but they need the filibuster to argue Dems are to blame for the shutdown. The GOP is using the filibuster as both a sword and a shield, and Dems are fine with it.
Republicans who control the entire government adamantly refuse to reopen the government.

Let us know how that “fight” turns out, Senator. The only reason you can pretend to be fighting is because the GOP Senate is pretending the filibuster rule, which they can change at any time, is still in effect.
The American people can't stand to see their insurance premiums doubled.

They can't stand to watch 15 million of their neighbors lose health care.

And they can't stand any more hospital closures.

That's why Democrats are fighting to reverse Republicans' health care cuts.
October 2, 2025 at 4:00 PM
It is still avoidable you preening fool. The GOP senate can kill the filibuster today. Call on them to do it, just as they did for another issue less than two weeks ago. Make them own their destruction. You don’t have to pretend to play chicken. Call them out, loser. Y’all suck at politics.
MAGA’s government shutdown was totally avoidable, and I will keep fighting hard to get government back open. In the meantime, my team and I have put together a dedicated resource page to help your family navigate this rocky time.

The Democratic leadership's relentless focus on healthcare costs normalizes the much larger problem of Trump's lawlessness. Fucking stupid pieces of shit.
Jeffries: "It's a disgusting video and we're gonna continue to make clear -- bigotry will get you nowhere. We are fighting to protect the healthcare of the American people in the face of an unprecedented Republican assault."

This x1000.
I mean, are you seriously going to write that “experts disagree” about whether or not there’s a war in Portland?

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

Trump routinely revokes validly issued visas. As soon as he receives the money, what will stop him from revoking EB-2 visas and deporting the visaholders, once they have been declared "undocumented"?
Finally reading the full Gold Card EO and wow is it wild. The order says that any person who pays $1 million is, by definition, a person of "exceptional business ability" and therefore qualified for an EB-2 visa.

Does anything better sum up the Trump ethos than "all rich people are exceptional."?

Flexing its newly-discovered inherent powers of inequity, the activist, reactionary majority indicates its intention to blow up its own legitimacy by throwing stare decisis into the dustbin of history. And for what?
#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

Trump needs to put Kash Patelf back on the shelf where he belongs, monitoring MAGA children. #KashPatelfOnTheShelf

Tiny little cross-eyed dude clearly never got over being bullied.
I watched Kash instead of Monarez today.

But RFK is a bit more interesting bc 5 GOPers have ALREADY come out against RFK's attack on vaccines, including not just Cassidy, who is deftly managing this, but also Barrasso.
Ashley Moody, DeSantis's pick to replace Rubio in the Senate, is such a hack that even Republican Sen. Cassidy felt compelled to call out her line of questioning as BS

No lies detected.
This man claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ, who called on his followers to be fishers of men.

JD, instead, is a giddy bomber of fishermen.

We don’t need Kirk’s assassin to be MAGA, and even if he is a “leftist” (seems less likely than MAGA), it doesn’t matter because he is white heterosexual Christian male, and according to MAGA, their transgressions are not attributable to white males generally. They must all be insane lone wolves.
the overwhelming bulk of the evidence thus far suggests that the killer was NOT maga and i think the obsessive insistence that he probably was is a lil bit delusional
