Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

Print it. Shout it. Never stop saying it.

Let every American know that while SNAP is being cut, while jobs are being shed, while people aren't getting paid, while healthcare costs skyrocket, our prezzie is prioritizing his gold plated play pen.

How about a press conference made up of Democratic leadership near the White House with the demolished East Wing in the background, talking about the government shutdown and Trump's warped priorities and demolition of public goods, including not just the East Wing but health care and so much else?

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

I’m not questioning Trumps virulent racism but fwiw Portland’s mayor is so white he’s not even on that chart.

The point is not whether the White House has *ever* undergone renovation - the point is whether it’s been done without any goddamn oversight.

Research is clear: millionaire flight due to higher taxes is simply not a thing. Millionaires move *less* than the rest of us and often move from one higher-tax state to another (because of amenities!). prospect.org/2025/10/23/m...

Can someone ‘friendly’ from Portland metro’s Silicon Forest tech community reach out to the President immediately? Any help from Intel, Nike Tech, Salesforce, Autodesk, AWS or startups like ConductorOne, Reclaim.ai, Paxton AI, Orca Security, ZincFive would be greatly appreciated! 🇺🇸 🌲

Not that I suspected otherwise, but great to know such decisions can turn on a dime based on… calls from “friends.”

Too bad no such “friends” live here in Portland. If only Gordon Sondland hadn’t testified in his first impeachment…

Exactly. The list is too long to even comprehend.

Reb Coco @rebcoco.bsky.social · 22h

It’s always driven me nuts. For the most part, Dems have the truth on their side “Convicted felon!” “Attempted coup!” “Stolen documents!” and refuse to deploy it, meanwhile Republicans just make up utter bullshit lies out of whole cloth.

I’m torn between thinking Obama shouldn’t dignify this with a response & thinking Obama should come out and absolutely SMOKE his ass.

I guess I’m not really torn after all.

I clocked that. He didn’t say “the women you’re alleged to have harassed,” or some other mealy-mouthed equivocation.

This is the way.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction.

If we were a republic, I mean.

Breaking: Sen. Jeff Merkley spoke on the Senate floor for 22 hours and 37 minutes to denounce Trump and his agenda.

It's the fourth longest floor speech in U.S. Senate history.

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 1d

Sen. Jeff Merkley has been speaking on the Senate floor since 6:20pm last night — protesting Trump and warning that "tyranny has arrived."

"Trump is shredding our Constitution. Is it okay for masked federal agents to arrest people off the street because of their skin color … Not in a free America."
