Food stamps are set to run out of funding in early November & I’m just here to remind you that if you catch someone stealing food at the grocery store then you should immediately call the ghostbusters because you clearly saw a ghost and they clearly vanished into thin air and you didn’t see nothin.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

Drug running is not a capital offense. Selling drugs is not a capital offense. Taking drugs is not a capital offense. Operating a boat in international waters is not a capital offense. He is just straight up murdering people without any kind of checks and balances.

Trump is summarily executing people suspected of being drug dealers, without providing any proof.

How close are we to Trump ordering the execution of Americans he considers opponents? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-illegal-executions

A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

I wonder how the right wing SCOTUS justices who've kept Trump out of prison will feel about their life choices when Chicago submits that Trump shitpost in their response on Monday, in which they were ALREADY arguing Trump invaded out of animus?

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

When someone uses this emoji 🤣 they are more mad than they have ever been in their entire life
