Old dude romping about in flyover land. No longer suffering fools. In this administration, what we have is a critical mass of highly competent idiocy. There is nothing to be learned from the second kick of a mule.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

We are not a serious country.

Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine?"

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

I think congress should have mandatory active shooter drills. Get your 80 year old ass under that desk. Lights off. No talking. Knees hurt? figure it out. Now get back up and finish your work. The kindergarteners do it.

Trump comes out for #Medicare4All but he doesn't know this because he has no idea how insurance works.

Trump: "We will pass a truly great healthcare plan that will stop all payments to big insurance companies"

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

Trump has claimed that recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil infrastructure have increased US diesel prices. This chart shows that the US attack on Iran elevated prices. Please, oh please, don't be fooled by Trumpian Bullshit.

Get the American Gestapo off our streets. Shut ICE down! Shut down the concentration camps! The only chance we have to remove them both is to VOTE BLUE in massive numbers

And this is why the founders erected a wall between church and state: Because they were traditional conservatives (aka classical liberals) and they didn't want churches to become the state. Thank you for reaffirming my point, even if you didn't understand it

(Western) religion is very much about using institutions to make us better people. The contrast with "government" vs. "ecclesiastical" is meaningless. If it's about the role of gov't in private life, start with that. But it's not about "sin being inevitable." That doesn't belong to conservatism.

FYI on Red Diesel: The tax on gas and diesel pays for highway maintenance in the USA. No fuel tax mean no money for road maintenance. Farm tractors and combines don't generally drive on highways, so they are allowed to use diesel that is not taxed for highway maintenance. Big rigs use highways.

The amazing fact is this: Assuming Don follows thru on these threats, it will harm maga Republicans the same as Democrats.

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." ~Theodore Roosevelt

The only person who needed “rehabilitation” in today's hearing was my colleague who didn’t know the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes. Don't try to distract the American people from rising costs and people losing their health care, especially if you don't have your facts straight.

mustangpilot.bsky.social reposted

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is another version of performative self-immolation.

What's fun about this whole contretemps and why it's worth watching again is how smirky Schmitt starts out - this is going to be his big moment – and how honest a puzzled Smith comes off, and how sharp Klobuchar was to quickly figure out the basic mistake. And then how pissy Schmitt gets at her.

She’s my source of joy. Always. If I need a pick me up, I just snuggle and play with her. This was from just earlier today and she was so bouncy and happy and I thank her for making me live in the moment 🥹🖤

Aren't there American companies that could build a steel plant?

Steve Herman@newsguy.bsky.social

What is being touted as America's largest-ever steel plant will be built in Iowa and owned by Essar Group, an India conglomerate. www.kcrg.com/2026/09/28/l...

We must be prepared for that traitor in the White House to do ANYTHING to fuck with the midterm elections this year. Anything. And when he does, we must be prepared to do anything to defend our elections.

I hear the same thing all across Iowa: Iowans are ready for change. They're ready for a common-sense prairie populist that's going to fight for them, not for the billionaires and the large corporations.

Trump has the nuclear codes and yet much of the country continues to pretend his behavior is normal. If we had a functional, rational, and responsible society, he would be removed from office within hours by the Republican party.
