The Wub

It’s a wrap. Farrow and Ball grass cloth added about $1,900 to this project. Why? Creating visual interest! Would you splurge on this detail?

Reporter: “If you could say something to Trump, what would it be?” PA voter: “You're a worthless pile of shit.” Reporter: “How many times did you vote for him?” PA voter: “Three times. That was my bad. Apparently I'm an idiot.”

This is the overarching policy in a nutshell

I am so tired of Americans acting like the Strait of Hormuz is our possession that somehow needs to be liberated. We did this to ourselves. Time to pay the piper. And yes, I mean everyone. America sucks and as citizens we all own this shit. Deal with it.

It is both pathetic & dangerous to see Republicans actively stoking a religious war in a country that was founded on the value of religious freedom.   Fortunately, the good people of NYC did not fall for this grotesque, bigoted fear mongering against @mayor.nyc.gov.

Last year, surveillance giant Palantir (who got an 8-figure contract from ICE) paid $0 in federal income tax despite making $1.5 BILLION, partly due to new tax cuts in Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill. They cut Medicaid & SNAP to pay for this. This monstrosity must be reversed.

Rubio's standing ovation in Munich after he declared the end of the “rules based order” shows how weak many European “leaders” have become. Instead of defending universal human rights they folded to his siren song of blood & soil. I called out Rubio's Trump-lobotomy last March:

Those of us who shared classrooms with some of these people find this less amusing and more ironic.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

This is just awful news. Patrick is one of the best reporters out there, and we relied on his work constantly, including his reporting for the Texas Tribune before he went to WaPo. We would hire him if only we could. x.com/PatrickSvite...

He has been entirely consistent for his whole public life. What’s lacking isn’t evidence or clarity, but the willingness to name it. Any refusal to report that continuity accurately is not an oversight, it’s an institutional failure, one that relies on obfuscation… www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ffd7fm/

Trump has claimed that the U.S. needs Greenland to advance security interests in the Arctic—yet it has axed the office dedicated to countering China and Russia in the Arctic in the region, Isaac Stanley-Becker and Vivian Salama report.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Marylander putting it in the Universe…

I just issued an executive order to develop a veteran food pantry network to provide food support for veterans, service members, and their families. Regardless of what happens at the federal level, Minnesota remains committed to providing for those who protect our freedom.

Phang: These firings were illegal in the first fucking place. It’s like the Republicans are supposed to think that they’ve now done something right by not doing what is illegal in the first place.

This moment demands fighters, not folders.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children: I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

Unity is the key

"Federal agents fired a pepper round that struck the pastor of the College Heights United Church of Christ. The impact caked his face in orange powder... “I’m in a lot of pain,” the pastor texted from the emergency room, “He clearly was aiming for the face.” www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Unlike Trump, I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care. I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.
