Americans are “seeing failure, and they're sick of it.”

Spotted this morning, in the window of a downtown Austin souvenir shop

Been thinking this for years now

When Donald Trump tells you the economy is doing well, he means it's doing well for people like Elon Musk.

Sure sounds like Trump is trying to make the White House into a fortress for when he refuses to leave office.

I would like Democrats to come out and say that anyone receiving assets from this new slush fund, or profiting any of the other corrupt acts from this candidate, will have 100% of their assets seized the first chance we get. Even if they get pardoned.

“MAGA is the last breath of the Confederacy.”

McGovern: I think Trump is seriously ill. He needs medical attention. There needs to be an intervention from his family or someone in his cabinet—I would say some of the Republicans here, but they don’t have the balls to confront him on anything.

If we had a real Congress we could reform the Courts

It’s criminal to use your position in the government to enrich yourself

Um, wow.

Texas Governor Threatens to Defund the Police There. Fixed it for you.

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

Putin continues to be a major winner from the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.

Fire the consultants and listen to the people

Kein Scheiß, Sherlock

With a little help from his Sinners co-star Miles Caton, the near-nonagenarian legend gives the Tiny Desk a history lesson in the blues. n.pr/4tPjN7o

Dark money is poison to our democracy

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

In defense of life and liberty

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich. We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

His profit, not yours, Piggy!

Worth watching

I beg you to read this thread but only if you promise to read all the alt texts

Taste pretty good, too

Clearly a Democrat conspiracy

Seems like we should be talking more about this.

Austin #NoKings October 18, 2025

#NoKings #ATX #AustinTX

20K turnout in Austin for #NoKings

Hey this is not a moment to stay silent. Oct 18th - No Kings Day - is our chance to show we won't accept the militarization of our citizens, the brazen corruption of the Trump family, and the destruction of our health care. Find your local protest at nokings.org.

Where does one sign up for those paychecks?

Benioff suffers from affluenza

Jack Bryan on Threads talks about how Frank Sinatra saved Don Rickles's life. Rickles said, "Some goons were beating me up. Frank comes over and says, 'Okay, guys, that's enough.'" Bryan says--with some truth--that he remembered that anecdote when Trump hogged the credit for ending the war in Gaza.

The man is unwell and needs to step down immediately.

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

This is only going to get worse.

Texas National Guard has no business in Illinois.

We are witnessing a clumsy, dumb authoritarian regime try to consolidate power. They only have a chance because the corporate and media elites are ok with it, which has abetted mass ignorance of what’s happening. The pathetic weakness of the opposition party leadership helps, too.

James Talarico: DC Republicans like John Cornyn are trying to gut our health care to cut taxes for their donors. And they're willing to shut down the government to do it. If you feel like you’ve been conned, you have a place in this campaign

if you’re canceling your Disney and worried about what your kids will watch…might i suggest supporting your local PBS station, which gets you streaming access to all their content via PBS passport

Don’t be distracted

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.
