I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

We finally have jobs numbers out this morning from September and take a look at this: big jump again in Black women's unemployment, now 7.5% from 6.7% in August.
This figure has been ticking up all year. This is now the highest unemployment rate Black women have faced in 4 years, since mid-2021.

Everything is worse since Trump took office, unemployment is 4.4% (worst since 2021), half the White House is torn off, affordability is a joke. The only one doing better is Trump and billionaires!

As the FBI’s deputy director, Dan Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief. His ascent to that position without passing a standard bureau background check is unprecedented, insiders say.

Are we to be surprised that the guy who creeped on teen USA contestants, said stars could assault people (“fortunately or unfortunately”), “grab ‘em by the pu**y”, DIDn’t KNOW that Epstein was doing what he was doing?! When they were best buddies?!

He's not just corrupting justice, he's weaponizing it, handing out get-out-of-jail-free cards like candy to every crony who helped him try to overthrow an election and signaling to the next batch that democracy is just a game they can rig.
Pardon the Corruption
Trump’s blanket pardons for stop-the-steal illegality aren’t only about settling scores from past elections. They’re about laying the groundwork to subvert future ones.

Won’t even work to help their own base! Let that sink in!
4 out of 5 people who rely on the ACA tax credits live in states that Trump won.
And over 80 percent of the people who will end up uninsured if these expire are in Trump states!
This is a MAGA health care hike, yet Trump won't lift a finger to save your health care.

If the republicans cared about working families they would be negotiating KEEPING the ACA tax credits, to reopen the government. But they don’t! They just want your vote to allow the wealthy to rob us blind, and to rob our children and grandchildren too.

You know what democratic socialism, or a social democracy is? Government that works for people. Through taxes, people are granted healthcare, parental leave, sick days, quality child care and education. Clean and safe public transport. I would HAPPILY pay more than I already do, for these things.

Republicans option to get democrats to vote for a CR are to negotiate, renew the ACA tax credits and fund SNAP. Thats all that needs to happen! Or use the nuclear option but then.. it’s over for them next November.

There are no such things as narco-terroists to begin with in terms of threats to the United States. It's all bullshit and this is a derivative follow on from the original bullshit.
Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely “affiliated” with “narco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what “affiliated” even means!

“This decision leaves no room for doubt— USDA can & must release the contingency funds & stop weaponizing hunger for political advantage. Donald Trump now has a stark legal & moral choice before him—he can insist on starving American families…or he can release the funds now,” said AG William Tong.
