Downtown today--streets blocked with dump trucks and humvees, national guard everywhere and other law enforcement, White House blocked with bollards, jersey walls and fences (in addition to usual security fencing), the expanse of the Mall fenced and screened as seen from 14th. Sick fuck in charge.

Well, the National Guard was spotted in Georgetown today -- 8 soldiers, all young, headed up Wisconsin in a squad. Maybe they were on leave from reflecting pool duty. I feel bad for them.

Appalling that hospice for Medicare recipients will be suspended, supposedly to investigate fraud, waste and abuse. Families will send dying loved ones to the hospital, or for wealthy people, skilled nursing care. How about cutting our inflated military budget.

In an open letter to American psychologists, Iranian psychologists called for an assessment of the mental health of the US political leaders in the interest of world peace.

Halloween is a time to dress up as something you're not. ICE dudebro thugs should take off their masks today and pretend they're not weak, cowardly fascist bootlickers who need to hide in anonymity because they're not strong enough to own the crap they do to innocent people.

My telemed follow- up appt was cancelled as Medicare will not pay after October 1. Why have the regs changed mid year? Now everyone's time is wasted and I have to wait until December to see the doctor.

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

This is disgraceful on so many levels. Hegseth, a raging alcoholic, has turned the US military into a clown show. To the family of this brave soldier, we are in awe of your loved one. We thank you for his service and your sacrifice. Hegseth should award himself the DUI Medal.

I never thought Mike Pence and I would have common ground, but here it is. Wonder why he reposted it now? 🤔

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Among other things, Trump’s latest unconstitutional move will pause research on cures for childhood cancer, close homeless shelters, halt food assistance, reduce safety from domestic violence, and shut down suicide hotlines. People will die. Is this what you “price of eggs” voters wanted?

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
