What is my profile picture? Promontory Point, UT, which I was able to visit a few years. Replica trains marking the point where technology brought people together. We got this!

The House Majority Whip is also insisting that a peaceful "No Kings" demonstration is in fact a "hate America rally" held for the "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

Really feels like they're trying to manifest a violent reaction to it.

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

True story.

Maya NH @1mayanh.bsky.social · 7h

Waiting for all the GOP/MAGA members of Congress who Johnson keeps saying are “working in district” to actually hold a town hall and talk to their constituents.

I haven’t seen one of them do this. They aren’t working. They are sitting back and collecting their tax payer funded pay checks.

Since he says “we’re” heading to Chicago that means he is included, right?

Can’t wait to see what happens if he shows up there. 😂

Trump: "We're heading to Chicago, because we want to save Chicago. Do you know they had over 4,000 people killed in Chicago over a short-- 4,000 people. And I have to watch this slob of a governor stand up and say, 'Well, everything is okay.'"

Of course Junior is doing this. Anything for a buck, even sweeter for them if it is at the expense of those who serve and defend our country.

So despicable.

And now we understand the deal with the plane and the Trump family company to build a luxury golf resort in Qatar.
Art of the "financial gain" for the Trump family.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

It is not “impossible” to believe they would do this, it is expected since Trump has been threatening them since even before the inauguration.

100% tariff rate starting November 1st? Looks like MAGA is starting a “war on Christmas”

So much winning.

Lawless. Trump’s “law enforcement officers” are lawless.

Time for the House to implement work requirements (as they added to their Big Bogus Bill last summer) if they want to still get health benefits. Bad enough that they still get paychecks. apnews.com/article/hous...

Speaker Johnson keeps House lawmakers away, canceling another week's session as shutdown drags

House members' absence during the government shutdown is creating a political dilemma for Speaker Mike Johnson.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.
