Please note what happened here. By challenging Trump to pause his terror raids for Halloween, Pritzker forced Kristi Noem to come out *for* continuing to traumatize kids. Polarizing these debates draws attention/forces MAGA depravity into the light.

i know this is a radical notion but the us military answers to the public and it is required to disclose shit to us, this includes whoever the commander-in-chief of the military happens to be at the moment. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Exclusive: US military officials required to sign NDAs tied to Latin America mission, sources say

U.S. military officials involved with President Donald Trump's expanding operations in Latin America have been asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, three U.S. officials say, a development that raises new questions about a military buildup that Venezuela fears may lead to an invasion.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Inside sources reportedly say Donald Trump has been heard privately joking about just how easily he believes he’s able to puppeteer House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The president reportedly views the highest office in the House as little more than a puppet for his whims.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 4d

Trump on his recent trip to Walter Reed: "I got an MRI. It was perfect ... if I didn't think it was gonna be good, either I would let you know negatively, I wouldn't run, I'd do something."

(Note how he's openly talking about running for a third term.)

It gets crazier. Source in Maryland Gov Wes Moore's admin tells me they informed Trump officials that the ailing counties were in Appalachia, and the Trump people were surprised to hear this!

Democrats should run a TV ad in Mike Johnson's district, thanking his constituents for taking the hit on the SNAP shutdown and other government services they use all so Mike could keep the Epstein Files from coming out?

"What I need you to understand is that nobody is letting them go quietly. The Feds' every movement is announced by a chorus of whistles, by a parade of cars honking in their wake, neighbors rushing outside to yell to film to witness these kidnappings that are unfolding in front of us."

ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Re Graham Platner: A lot of folks are just now realizing how much our military’s culture is deeply right-wing and regressive—a place where Nazi and white nationalist iconography are commonplace (even if sometimes not recognized by the troops themselves).

This was literally last year:

The Army opened an investigation after a National Guard unit posted a photo online that contained a symbol worn by Nazi SS troops.
