I can't get over the fact that they scheduled a televised Cabinet meeting, hyped it as a major event, planned it all out to show how active and in control Trump is ... and then he dozed off in the middle of it. Repeatedly.

- $172 million for two jets - $200 million for Trump White House - $40 billion for Argentina. Americans struggling with rent, to buy groceries, and have affordable health care? F YOU, says Trump.

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

NO FARMER BAILOUT Farmers keep voting for their own destruction & my tax dollars shouldn’t be used to fund it. Trump’s expected to announce a new bailout. He wrecked them w/tariffs, then acts like a hero by bailing them out w/our money. They’ll cash the check, then vote to burn it all down again.

Biden zoned out during one bad debate and the media is still talking about it. Meanwhile this guy spews the war & peace of crazy every day and people are falling over backwards trying to ignore it.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Democrats and activist organizations TOLD you what Trump’s fucken plans were. P2025 was out there every day for you to see. Yet, some in this country either said ‘so what’. Black lady or authoritarianism. We ALL will pay the price for that racist stupidity. 🖕🏼

Trump is bankrupting farmers, raising prices on everything, and killing jobs with his tariff mania. Republicans in Congress own all of it. bsky.app/profile/atru...

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

I’m trying to be sympathetic to America’s farmers, because Trump has chosen to bail out Argentina while bankrupting them. But you’ve voted for him three times now. A tiger doesn’t change its stripes, and three strikes—you’re out.

Trump has been the worst president ever for farmers. Twice. But they voted for him three times. Now they want the rest of America to give them welfare. When they did it to themselves. But they don’t like socialism.

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Donald Trump is a senile old codger, standing before the United Nations, reading a speech clearly written by an alt right lunatic and a bunch of oil and gas lobbyists. Well done, U.S. voters. You really fucked this one up.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

It's important that we keep this in mind, and don't allow the MAGA theme of "Liberals are violent thugs" to go unchallenged. #ProudBlue

Pretty clear that a lot of people jumped the gun on the motive behind Kirk’s assassination. The shooter: 1. Grew up in a Republican family 2. Donated to Donald Trump 3. Loved guns 4. Was steeped in Groyper culture This isn’t a simple “raging leftist hated Kirk” scenario.

Susan and I are thinking of the entire Evergreen High School community in the wake of yesterday's tragic shooting. Our children deserve to grow up in a country free from the trauma and terror of senseless gun violence. (1/2)

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Today we had a chance to stand with the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country in uniform. Ashli Babbitt is not that. She is a traitor. She will be a traitor. She died a traitor."

Pritzker says the press should be asking this question, too, and he's right.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

Ruthie Combs reposted

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

Chief Justice “Calvinball” Roberts has earned this ignominious place in American history, thanks to the incomparable Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson:

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
