Trump only lies +continually manipulates the truth. His reactions are almost always vindictive +expressed as a tantrum. We must flip congress, which should not be hard to do, if we make certain the midterms are free and fair. What is being done to combat this authoritarian from the powers that be?

You don’t even know what to say about ICE anymore, because no words seem to accurately describe the depths of their depravity

This was a powerful speech, made moreso by the presence of Debbie Almontaser next to him, who was hounded out of the city Dept of Education because of the same smear tactics from the New York Post and the rest of the Islamophobia industry.
The gift “raises some ethical questions, namely whether the DOD abided by its rule that all donations over $10,000 benefiting troops or their family members be reviewed by ethics officers to verify that “the donor does not have interests that may be affected substantially” by the gift.” Just amazing
Of course congress needs to be brought in the decision-making on these horrific, highly illegal, and unexplained, murderous attacks on now 10 boats. Hegseth is out of control, as is his boss.
Republicans Who Have Rarely Opposed Trump Raise Questions About His Drug War

Trump’s unilateral demolition of the east wing of the White House is a metaphor for what he doing to our country. 7 million showed up last Saturday 10/18 to speak out NO KINGs, yet he is enabled to ignore us by the Republicans in Congress. #votethemout
Okay, that Trump+Thune will not negotiate on the shutdown unless the dems acquiesce and end the shutdown, and that Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva reveals clearly that the Trump regime does not function fairly and cannot be trusted, also per below! Tantrums and lies are their way.
Donald Trump just threw a late-night tantrum over an advertisement created by the Canadian province of Ontario, which featured Ronald Reagan’s REAL words expressing his dislike of tariffs. Trump says that, as a result, all trade negotiations with Canada are “HEREBY TERMINATED.”
If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.
As soon as we kick out Trump, there is a commitment to reverse his gaudy, revolting ways.
“Collective unity against chaos” Kudos to New Yorkers. Let’s all be one in solidarity that will not let Trump continue with intimidation. Listen to this video. WE TOGETHER WILL SHOW UP, STAND UP and SPEAK OUT.
To me, not surprising. Looking forward to greater equity and fairness of opportunity. Mamdani is smart, strong and courageous and ideal for a better NY and possibly the country as we move forward. Clearly the billionaire model of the Trump administration is a disastrous failure.

On day 22 of the Trump Shutdown, Senate Republicans are holding show votes, the House GOP won’t show up for work and Trump wants to see shows in his new ballroom.

In 10 days, more than 24 million working Americans will see their healthcare costs double and GOP leadership is living in la la land.
Government Shutdown: Funding Bill Blocked For 12th Time
The government shutdown began at midnight on Oct. 1 as Democrats and Republicans appeared to be nowhere close to reaching a funding deal.

Today alone there is this, +yet another murderous, unauthorized attack of a boat in the Pacific, +destruction of the entire east wing of the WH.Why is no one who has the power to impeach him—anyone or more the Republicans—not doing so?His immoral and illegal behavior makes it almost hard to breathe.
The man who doesn’t read and can’t handle a briefing furloughed the people guarding America’s most dangerous weapons.
We need to stand 💪 against Trump+Vought’s retribution. They have cancelled funding for clean energy +are continuing to approve permits for fossil fuel projects. While a court has stopped their firing of thousands of workers, they are threatening infrastructure projects in Democratic states only.
While the gentle rain falls, I know Trump is using our hard earned tax dollars that we want to go to our nation’s vulnerable for food, healthcare, housing +opportunity, to tackle climate change, and to help peace in the world, yet he buys multi-million dollar planes,+builds a gilded ballroom. 😞 💪
It is time now for the #americangovernorsassociation, or blue state governors, to develop a plan to accept our 2025 federal taxes to hold in escrow. I am certain I am not the only one who will refuse to send federal taxes to the current administration.
COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want?

TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They rigged the election.
How is he allowed to do this?
Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom.

This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.
He can’t help himself
“The demonstrations were very small.”
Disgusting, disgraceful and horrific. This and …
—The constant unreal excuses by Speaker Johnson for not swearing in Adelita Grijalva
—The VP’s immature reply to 7 million Americans at NoKings with photos posted of he and Trump wearing crowns
—Trump threatening to use the Insurrection Act
Between JD‘s No Kings tweet and Trump posting a video of himself dumping a payload of s*^t on America protesters, you can see why “young” Republicans talk the way they do…

What I don’t understand is how anyone finds it acceptable.

Loved being one of the many who showed up today in #Boston at the #nokings rally to stand up for justice, equality and opportunity for all, with a vision for a new and better democracy. We do not want an old, mean, egoistic, cruel, ignorant orange haired wanna-be king.
Was there! The city showed up 💪
Awful and idiotically vindictive. He is a highly delusional, cruel human. It is absurd he inhabits the oval, for the time being.
This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way.

Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.
Always admire Chris Murphy. But we are standing our ground. I hear other dems speak out in the same way during the shutdown such as @repstansbury.bsky.social, @booker.senate.gov. @aoc.bsky.social, @sanders.senate.gov ….
Chris Murphy is one of the only Dems who gets that there is no budget “deal” to make. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...
