The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Trump is Nixon with no capacity to feel regret or shame, and enabled by a party and Congress that won't put the country first. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-nixo...

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

Thanks to The 19th for republishing this piece!

Cervical cancer could be eradicated. But not with Medicaid cuts and anti-vax politics.

The cancer has a known path of prevention, but that also means it falls at the intersection of cultural issues that are facing strong political opposition.

This is dedicated to those who believed DJT and legacy media coverage that Project 2025 was nothing to be concerned about.

I'd like to just say that in the wake of losing Fergus this week I realize how lucky I am to have a partner who is hurting just as much as I am, supportive family, and a tidal wave of compassion from friends and internet supporters. My heart truly goes out to anyone who has faced this alone... 🧵
