good to see, since society must discourage baldfaced lying (especially by authorities) to keep functioning. some other consequences to go along with this would be even better

I think it has been established beyond any reasonable doubt that Letitia James is not a ham sandwich.

Trump is basically shouting from his golden ballroom that you need to shut up about affordability. The Breakdown has some hypocrisy to call out tonight at 7 PM EST: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD36XJ-TFrs

MAHA my ass.

In the end, it didn’t cut government spending, and there was no promised “savings.” In the end, DOGE destroyed countless lives, ravaged American soft power, killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world (soon millions), & stole your data. Elon Musk should be on trial.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

(🚨) MAJOR NEWS: Trump Agrees to Release of the Epstein Files Let me just be the one millionth person to observe that this quite possibly means that he and his lawyers have already destroyed the portions of the Files they didn't want us to see. Hopefully they left accidental traces of this.

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown. In fact, he cut child poverty in half. He cut child hunger, too. I miss having a REAL President.

Harry Truman: If it benefits all the people, they call it socialism.

Ukraine's Special Operations Forces said that its long-range drones struck an oil depot and logistic facilities in the Russian-occupied of Crimea; President Volodymyr Zelensky announced mass production of one of the most popular drones of the war, the DJI Mavic; and more.

Stanislav Bunyatov, call sign Osman, from Ukraine's Aidar battalion, says new strikes are coming on Russian targets. “Today our birds will impose significant sanctions on the Russian Federation.”

like if a Nazi tattoo is news, I think this, coming from a government agency, should probably be news

"If we had a contingency fund." You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded? www.notus.org/trump-white-...

He said, "When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One" He lied But what's worse-he didn't even TRY to lower prices Instead, almost as soon he got into office, he started hitting people with tariffs-making things infinitely worse

there is NOTHING in the science to justify this. fuck this

Trump's 6 causes of significant diminished mental acuity: • Microvascular ischemic brain disease • CVA - at least one, mild-to-moderate sized stroke • Decades of ongoing cocaine and Adderall abuse • Hepatic Encephalopathy • Family history of Alzheimer's Disease • Dark Tetrad

No place is President Trump's crusade against free speech more evident than in public schools and universities. This new McCarthyism endangers our right to learn and speak free from government censorship, but President Trump can't rewrite the First Amendment no matter how hard he tries.

Epstein clients arrested: 0

As military families line up at food banks because of the GOP shutdown, Trump is literally demolishing our democracy to build himself a frickin ballroom. Watch:

BREAKING: A Trump-appointed judge in Texas just threw out a GOP lawsuit that attempted to block California’s new congressional redistricting plan — ruling the plaintiff had no standing to sue over another state’s election laws.

📌Next to Trump, Pete Hegseth has to have the tiniest dick on the planet.

Oh snap! 😂

This is a big deal… my congressman has been in DC for 24 years and hasn’t held a Townhall since 2012. His rural constituents are standing up.

“Pardons and commutations offer X-rays into the souls of presidents. More than any other presidential actions, clemencies tell us who they are.” Jeff Toobin has this exactly right. Trump’s use of the pardon power sullies its purpose but reveals who the man is. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/o...

#TrumpHatesOurHealthCare Regular Americans don’t give a shit about a clean CR. They care that they can afford their insurance premiums. NEW POLL…

And although there is a procedure to seek *full* en banc rehearing (what we called "super en banc" when I was clerking), that procedure has never successfully been invoked.

The 10 judges are drawn from the pool of all non-recused active judges and any senior judges who were on the panel and wish to be eligible (so, Judge Graber would presumably be in the pool here). Among other things, that means the "en banc" court could easily skew to either side of the split.

Just a reminder that "en banc" review in the Ninth Circuit is ... unique. The full court (29 active judges, currently with a 16-13 D-R split) votes on whether or not to rehear a case en banc. If so, then *10* judges are randomly drawn to sit with Chief Judge Murguia as the "en banc" court.

President Trump is trying to create one giant national police force under his command by strong-arming local law enforcement agencies into helping ICE carry out immigration raids. This is a danger to our rights and undermines the checks and balances essential to a democracy.

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

As U.S. health insurance costs rise, some companies are paying for all of their workers' premiums. It's a big expense — but they say it pays off.

#NoKings Cincinnati

I am planning on going to No Kings gathering this weekend in central Texas. And since I was terminated by MSNBC a few weeks ago, can someone let me know where to pick up paycheck that GOP keeps talking about. I have asked many folks going to No Kings, and none are getting paid.

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

When Trump says he’s cutting “democratic programs”, he’s referring to the ACA, SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid, social security… His pitch to the base is, “I’m taking things you depend on because they were championed by people you don’t like…and giving you nothing from the people you do like.” Winning.

What? Trump’s bluster doesn’t work?

Vance: Young Republicans must be allowed to praise Hitler in private, nothing bad will come of it Trump: Finally, we're making Stephen Miller's white nationalist fantasies from his college days come true!

“The university is under attack because gender studies is under attack, and if universities don’t stand up to this infringement on academic freedom now, it is not just gender studies that will be lost, but all free and open inquiry.” — Laurie Essig, in a new post for AAUP’s Academe Blog

It can’t be said enough: Donald Trump is EVERYTHING a real man is not. He’s the antithesis of a real man. And he made that abundantly clear again yesterday. And Joe Biden made abundantly clear again yesterday that he is a real man. Today’s show.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
