Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

Annoyed at #NBC for muting the crowd sound when #BenRice hit his grand slam for the Yankees last night. So much for letting us experience 'being there'.

ICE Plans 5,000 New Hires to Help With Deportation Drive www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/u... How does does our country just keep getting worse and worse? That we have such a huge number of awful human beings that the GOP, who voted for the money to pay them, just keeps tapping into for racist thugs.

ICE Plans 5,000 New Hires to Help With Deportation Drive
A similar surge last year resulted in undervetted officers initially being let in and then removed as the agency skipped basic checks for new recruits.

From Andrew in a reply to an A.I. piece in the NYTimes: a perfect summation of our country: "An oligarchy masquerading as a democracy that seeks...to maximize the return on investment for wealthy investors.....while keeping the population...satisfied enough to keep them from violently revolting."

Bessent Mistakenly Failed to Report Holdings of JP Morgan Stock www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/b... OF COURSE! We expected nothing less than at least one major conflict of interest. I thought that was required to be nominated for any position by Trump.

Bessent Failed to Report Holdings of JP Morgan Stock
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s finances were reviewed by the inspector general after Mr. Bessent incorrectly listed at least $100,000 of the stock, which was owned by his husband, as cash.

We should all be disgusted of the White House Press Corp. No one walked out No one told Trumpy to go fuck himself. No one said mean things to Trumpy after he chopped down another pillar of American Democracy. No one asked for proof any of them published 'fake news'. No one did anything. Sad.

If we actually survive this administration, is there any way we can, figuratively, slap MAGA across the face and get it into their #Trump-washedbrains that they have been lied to again and again and again, for a over a decade, by Trump, by their "news" sources, and by their GOP representatives?

Somehow his #RobertsCourt-annointed full immunity from any criminal prosecution extends to Trump - and Natalie - having literal carte blanche to use whatever he wants from the U.S. Treasury, i.e. OUR savings account, for how own personal use.

Don’t believe the lies. Trump is *not* selling $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide. It’s worse. Trump is *giving away* $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide. American taxpayers are paying for those bombs.
