Every. Damn. Time.

If you cut them off for lying, they'll need to figure out how to get the media to keep them on the air!

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

I hadn't heard of the artist Role Model or his music until SNL, but now all I'll remember about him is the choice to bring on Charli XCX to make a lame TS dig? Weird choice.

Johnson is keeping the House closed so the House can't vote. So he doesn't have to swear in the new Congresswoman who will sign the Epstein discharge position.

He's lying with every breath.

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October

(Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

This is as much a legacy of the War on Drugs than anything else. He has a controlled substance conviction separate and apart from the exonerated murder conviction.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

You know, the same vaccines the President just got...

As a reminder, VACCINES CAUSE ADULTS (not autism). #fucktrump

My arm, two bandaids, one for each vaccine, with a Flu and Covid-19 vaccine sign in the background.

Several CDC staff currently working on an Ebola outbreak overseas.

You know — the ones literally helping contain and prevent it from spreading. (Like, to the U.S.)

Trust us: dying from Ebola is a MISERABLE way to die.

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

I’m exhausted - physically, emotionally.
To those divisions and branches that were RIFed and that we didn’t yet highlight here, apologies. We need to take a break for the night.

All of your - all of our - work matters.

If you all would have included truthful Black History as part of American History, you wouldn't be so "shocked" by what is happening right now. In fact, what is happening now likely wouldn't be happening because you would have been able to see it coming with knowledge of history.
