MAGA MIKE (coward before anything else) is actually a sycophantic, lying cancerous canker.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.

Ever give a speech so bad The NYT runs a callout asking generals and admirals if they’re quitting? Pete Hegseth has.

Shocking.Sickening.Embarrassing.
Every single one of ‘them.

But we gotta keep them if they’re stupid, huh?
Pete Hegseth told a gathering of US generals they’ll be fired if they’re fat, and people couldn’t help wondering if he’s met his boss – 18 hefty reactions.

Hegseth wants to return the military to 1990 — a dark time in its history

Ir’s not like Pete was brought on for his vast experience or sound judgment in military matters. Besides a perky young fella w hundreds of generals ‘n admirals w lifetimes of experience from which to draw, he’ll be just fine.

So what! It was a gaffe! Who cares! Guy’s an asshole who misspoke. Undoubtedly he’ll have fresher material and more appropriate than a dumbass mistake.

The government is going to shutdown because Trump wants it to shut down, and Republicans have no spine.
October 1, 2025 at 3:43 AM
Easy Peasy EXCEPT WHEN IT ISN’T
Here’s how Republicans don’t shut down the government:

1. Address the Republican-created health care crisis by permanently extending ACA tax credits (which they should want anyway);

2. Protect Congress’ constitutional power of the purse;

3. Pass the CR.

Word from the meeting last night is that Speaker kept bringing up “health care for illegal aliens,” seemingly unaware that Medicaid and Medicare and Affordable Care coverage are by law NOT available to anyone here illegally.

Take it from Mr. Art of the Deal, if there’s a shutdown, the president is to blame.

“Health care for illegal aliens” is the new “immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield.”

The Republican playbook is simple: make up a baseless lie, repeat it every chance you get, hope and pray that everyone blames Democrats for the crises you created.

NEW: TX is asking NY courts to declare NY's reproductive health care shield law unconstitutional in an attempt to enforce its abortion ban across state lines. @law.ucla.edu's @lindsaywiley.bsky.social lays out a legal case for why NY (and other shield states) can and should reject such overreach.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

A farm report inspired by a stable genius -
US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.
