Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.

Zohran Mamdani didn’t hold back. His speech today on Letitia James’s indictment was 🔥 calling it exactly what it is: a political hit job meant to punish those who hold Trump accountable. “If justice can be weaponized against the just, then no one is safe.”

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Our news media could have ended this nightmare on a continuum beginning in 2015. They think they benefit from keeping him in play.

Remember how we got rid of Musk? Time to do the same thing to Miller. Who’s the REAL president? Obviously trump is subordinate to Miller. lol.

His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Grand jury never heR’s exculpatory evidence, and trump’s DOJ prosecutors apparently routinely lie to the GJ to secure indictments. We live in a tyranny.

Apparently Comey’s lawyer filed a motion to dismiss based in her having lied to the GJ, and on my local news (out of Albany NY) they reported that the GJ indictment was based on “inaccurate accusations.”

I suspect they’ll be in recess until we dislodge trump.

I would like to suggest adding banana costumes (or other fruit) to the mix for October 18

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

These federal firings have nothing whatsoever to do with the government shutdown, and if that is not the lede of every report discussing them, and if you are the author of any such report, quit your job and learn to surf or something instead

It also appears the bimbo prosecutor lied to the grand jury.
