I’ll be watching Kimmel tonight and hope you will too. Frankly, I’m not surprised Disney caved so quickly. But I am relieved. Still, 20% of ABC affiliates will not air the show! We must remember that public outcry makes a difference. And we must keep a watchful eye as the attacks on free speech and the press continue. (1/2)

Trump causing 10,000 United States INTEL WORKERS TO BE LAID OFF after receiving funds from Biden's Chips Act and Trump freezing almost all of the funds OUT OF PURE BITTERNESS.
Turns out Trump only wants "Made in Ameria" if his name is on it, otherwise people will lose jobs.

Trump’s pick to head FEMA didn’t know we had a hurricane season, his head of Homeland Security doesn’t know what habeas corpus is, his head of the Department of Education (who thinks “AI” is a steak sauce) doesn’t know what the Tulsa Race Massacre was and his Social Security Commissioner didn’t even know we had a Social Security Commissioner, all while his head of the Department of Defense is drunk texting war plans, his head of Health & Human Services is citing studies that don’t exist, his head of Transportation won’t fly in or out of at least one of our airports due to safety concerns, and the guy he tapped to lead an $18 million terror prevention team is a 22-year-old former grocery clerk with zero government experience of any kind.
But sure, keep talking about Biden.

Today, while the market collapsed and four soldiers who died on an exercise in Lithuania arrived at Dover, where was Donald Trump? Was he monitoring the markets? Was he there for the arrival of these heroes?
Nope: he was golfing, with the Saudis

In a sign of respect, every President, Vice President and First Lady put their hands over their hearts as President Carter’s casket moved past — except for one. You can guess who. Such disrespect! 🤬

Can a Republican please explain to me why you voted for this? Seriously, I want to know.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While post shows screenshot of tweet from Feb 2023, when Republicans attempted and failed to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (which included the insulin pricing provision), Republicans are attempting to repeal it again.

Turns out, that viral video from The Oversight Project of immigrants in Norcross, GA claiming they were registered to vote — and some had already voted — was all a lie.
They admitted they were not able to find any of them in the voter rolls and investigators didn't find any of them had registed to vote.

🚨🚨 Project 2025
On Page 102, continued on Page 103:
"Improve military recruiters’ access to secondary schools and require completion of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)—the military entrance examination—by all students in schools that receive federal funding."
Let me repeat this part - "by all students in schools that receive FEDERAL FUNDING."
In other words, Project 2025 wants Donald Trump to implement a military entrance exam in ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
NOT Private schools - PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
That's just Project 2025's way of saying:
"Hey, your kids are expendable. But our rich kids are not."
FUCKING VOTE!!

He wants to replace all federal employees with loyalists. Irrespective of qualifications. That should scare the hell out of everyone. Unqualified US attorneys, environmental “scientists”, air traffic controllers, and food inspectors? What could possibly go wrong?

Ohio’s congressional districts are among the most blatantly gerrymandered maps in the nation
That’s why the @CitizenMapsOH amendment on the Nov. 5 ballot is so important. It would take Old Gerrymander out of the hands of politicians. At last

Let’s summarize Trump’s unhinged rant at his Michigan speech:
He called Ronny Jackson “Doc Ronny Johnson” in the middle of claiming he aced his cognitive test.
He packed a Black church with 85% white people while claiming he had the support of the Black community.
He told everyone he doesn’t need their votes.
He said we used to have $2 mortgages.
He rambled about how he forgets which state he’s in.
He babbled for minutes about showering and his “beautiful hair.”
He still doesn’t think dishwashers have water in them.
He doesn’t understand why he isn’t winning California.
He was creepily talking about “beautiful children” and deporting them.
He might think Michigan is a country.
He thinks he won Man of the Year in Michigan when no such prize exists.
He projects and says Biden doesn’t have any policies, despite being the President who’s literally enacting his policies.
Bro has totally lost the plot.
😬

Republican Senator Mitt Romney on Trump:
“He is unquestionably mentally unstable, and he is racist, bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic, vulgar, and prone to violence. There is simply no rational argument that could lead me to vote for someone with those characteristics.”
