There always has to be something in it for Trump. Maybe he imagines that this nails down the Nobel but probably that isn’t enough. He’ll want more

That is certainly what they want to do. We will see

I have recently become aware that I did not appreciate how large the continent of Africa is. There are many very large countries there.

It is quite large. It is the fourth largest island in the world . Twice the size of Arizona.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Mikey knows that stalling the swearing in of our Dem Rep will not stop the inevitable release of the Epstein files. Repubs would be furious if Dems did this!

In September, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) refuted Kash Patel’s claim that no victims were trafficked, revealing the FBI holds names of at least 20 prominent men in the music industry, finance, politics, royalty, and banking which victims were trafficked to. #OpDeathEaters

this is ESPECIALLY awful because quite a number of JPL employees were affected by the Eaton fire. Lose your house, lose your community, 10 months later, lose your job.

Holy crap. This is terrible.

The article states it's "not related to the current U.S. government shutdown". But of course it is: they are both connected by the GOP destroying everything good about this country from the top down and the bottom up.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

JD Vance displayed a full range of the Trump administration’s incompetence and dishonesty in a humiliating Face the Nation interview this weekend.

Also? He’s turning into his meme. Watch this video and tell me I’m wrong.

Remember during the campaign they claimed that teachers were performing gender changing surgery on children at school. Is there really someone stupid enough to buy that?

Apparently a good number of people have always wanted to believe just what they want to believe. Trump amplified by the media have given them permission to think that lies are just as good as the truth

A record 29% — nearly a third! — of all new cars purchased in California during July, August, and September were zero-emission vehicles.

DC may be fine with selling out American innovation to China, but California will keep charging ahead toward cleaner air for our communities.

Anytime there is a flood in the continental US, it is the biggest story across all social media.

Apparently, the same as not true for a catastrophe in Alaska. There was a typhoon yesterday morning and much of western Alaska is now underwater with homes with people in them just floating away.
