This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Donald Trump is openly conspiring to have his handpicked DOJ officials give him a $230 million "settlement" using taxpayer dollars, raising new questions about the salary Hunter Biden drew from a private company in Ukraine.

The East Wing is gone. It was simply erased to make room for Donald Trump’s Mighty Works, which, in this case is a colossal ballroom, an enduring metaphor for his vanity, arrogance, and what his presidency represents.

I have one slight disagreement with this post.

There is at least one story bigger than that of a president instigating a plot to end U.S. democracy.

And that is the story that a president is instigating his *second* plot to end U.S. democracy.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Asking for monetary and Amazon food donations.

"I mean, some people get on a bus or three different buses to get here to get food," Lavender said. "So you know they love their pet and they're trying to do right by their pets."

Bone dry: Oklahoma Alliance for Animals pet food pantry empty

A designated pet food pantry in south Tulsa usually stores hundreds of pounds of pet food for any owner on hard times, but finds itself on hard times from a lack of donations and skyrocketing demand.

There is no specific language in the Constitution that forbids destroying the White House, so it’s hard to understand what grievance the Democrat Party could possibly have with President Trump.

This is such a great callout…

Does your Christian church have a plan to help the community when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November?

If not, you’re at the wrong church.

The thing to understand about fascism is that most people you know will be bought off. Bought with promises of peace and stability, bought with business opportunities or paid with actual cash. Most people aren't going to resist. Get used to it and get used to operating in that environment.

Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."
