They "unfired" the CDC employees when they figured out what a gigantic mistake that idiot Russell Vought had made. The Trump Administration is one idiot show after another. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/h...

I think that what we can infer is that insider trading is rampant, there is an expectation that if you are onside with the administration you will not be prosecuted for it, and there is a belief this admin will not be leaving, so YOLO.

OUR tax dollars are being used to bail out Argentina, OUR troops are being put on the ground in Israel & OUR soil is being used by Qatar for a military base of their own.
While OUR government is shutdown.
Anyone who believes OUR so-called “president” when he says he is “America first”, is an idiot.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

🚨There goes the last of Governor Pritzker’s fucks. 🪦
He took that threat of being arrested to heart… and the people of Chicago are marching in the streets because the Chicago mayor and their governor have their backs. ✊🏼

Although there's a centuries old law, that prohibits the image of any living person to appear on the face of US currency, the Treasury Department is still going ahead with their plan, to mint a commemorative $1 coin, featuring trump's face. What the actual fuck?!?! Stop the madness, please!!!

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

My fellow Americans,
I encourage you to encourage, educate, & inspire fellow Americans to the fight. Spread the word, a revolution is on the rise in America. This country ain't gonna fix itself. It's our duty, our responsibility, & our obligation. Revolution is the solution to tyranny and traitors.
