THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Worked first shift of first day of early voting as first time poll worker. Steady stream of voters from 8-2, all in high spirits. Go Durham! #VOTE #NCvotes #EarlyVoting rocks!

The best part? I was in the nabe of where I taught in public elementary schools for 13 years, and got to see many of my favorite parents of favorite students. Teaching: the gift that keeps on giving.

Did James Talarico tell his grandmother that he thought he might be gay? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Has James Talarico been in a 15 year mentor-protégé relationship with gay billionaire Peter Thiel? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Did James Talarico pose in drag? Oh, no! That was JD Vance!

SNL last night felt so wrong. Nearly every skit involved women being watched, creeped on, or threatened by men—the sneaker sketch (“She’ll never hear you”), the AC guys peering through a window, the cop leering at a female driver, even the hiking bit in the monologue.

So, just to review. In roughly seven months the US has had to abandon all bases in the Middle East, flee from a British base, the petrodollar system that is the foundation for hegemony has collapsed, and we’re facing historical energy and food crises. Great work. www.cnn.com/2026/10/04/p...

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

We should make a push for mass cancellation of Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, Peacock, Paramount, HBO Max, Amazon Prime and Apple. They have all increased their prices as people are struggling to pay rent, groceries and gas. Guarantee you they'll respond to a massive boycott. All they care about is $$$

Usually buildings are named for Presidents after their term by a grateful public. Trump's like a guy with no friends who has to buy his own birthday presents.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Trump and Vance to Zelenskyy 18 months ago: You are losing this war. You have no cards. Meanwhile, while Ukraine is kicking a much larger country’s ass who invaded it, Trump and Vance are losing to Iran.

The Treaty of Tripoli, which was negotiated and signed while George Washington was president: "Art. 11. The Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." Q: How many times is Jesus mentioned in the Constitution? A: Zero.

Apparently it is of no concern to any Republicans that Trump and Bessent are taking in billions of dollars from plundered Venezuelan oil and nobody knows where the money is, where is has been going, if anyone is getting proceeds, with no accounting of any of it made available.

“Steady on.” A sharp rejoinder from Hannah Waddingham to an overly aggressive empty drinks’ snatcher. What a perfect response! Good for all occasions! Especially if you’re from the US. From now on, it’s my go to when folks behave badly. Ir hysterically. #TedLasso #SteadyOn #GodBlessTraceyUllman
