Hayes’ commentary is not to be missed!
“28,000! How long does it take to ‘accidentally’ send 28,000 racist messages? That’s not a lapse in judgment; that’s a doctorate curriculum. 28,000!! The future of the Republican Party looks a lot like 1939 Germany — that’s all I’m saying…”

When Trump is gone and sanity is restored, Congress must pass legislation that forbids felonious presidents from issuing pardons. And any pardons so granted must be rescinded.
There are so many alarms going off right now, I’m about to lose my mind!!

This is functionally a robbery of New York City and New York State taxpayers, who contribute billions more to the federal government annually than we get back.

Stealing our money, blocking our bus lanes.
NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.
I hope Mike Johnson is being sued specifically and individually.

Man, this freaking guy.

"I have no staff ... The phones don't work. There's no computer," Grijalva says from her sparsely furnished office on Capitol Hill. "We don't have a government email." www.npr.org/2025/10/16/g...
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

The plan to force taxpayers to cover emergency medical costs for non-citizens is a law called EMTALA: signed into law by the infamous democrat Ronald Reagan.
Lisa McClain: "Democrats' plan forces taxpayers to cover the majority of emergency medical costs for all non-citizens. Another $28 billion tab for who? You guessed it, the American people."

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Shithole country 👇
In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.
She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.
This is not about immigration enforcement.
It's about terrorizing Americans.
We are truly in Anne Frank times ☹️
