“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

Trump is at the Halloween party at MAL

“Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.”

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

After abolishing the Electoral College & ending Citizen's United, nothing would be better for this country than public testimony about January 6th from Jack Smith.

IL Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias is warning federal immigration agents that swapping/altering license plates during Trump's ICE raids is against the law & "will not be tolerated." A Plate Watch Hotline has been implemented for people to report cases of license plate tampering:

Longest government shutdown in US history - 35 days (Dec ‘18 - Jan ‘19)

Second longest shutdown - 22 days+ (Oct 1st ‘25 - present day)

Both shutdowns occurred under Trump.

How Americans let this criminal lunatic keep failing upwards will vex historians for generations to come.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Who knew White House was gutted/removated by Truman btwn ‘49 and ‘52?

I did. I’m a nerd. The renovation was necessary cuz it was on the verge of collapse.

It was done w great care and reverence for its historical significance

Trump’s “upgrade”, on the other hand, is motel 6 shit

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

1/ Thanks to Comey's lawyers, we have the appointment order for Lindsey Halligan in EDVa that the gov't has been trying to hide for weeks.

I think it means Halligan is not long for this job & the Comey and Tish James indictments not long for this world.

The 105 House Republicans who condemned George Santos and voted to expel him from Congress are strangely silent about Trump springing him from prison after a very short stint.

They are all terrified of King Donald.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

Ugh. Anxiety is high tonight. I keep thinking about interactions I had at work today. Got into a reel hole on insta, got almost nothing but "I'm single and frustrated" reels (which is completely me but seeing others like that doesn't make me feel any better, it just makes me feel sad.
