Now we check in on the GOP's assault on America.
Trump building a gilded ballroom isn't popular with Americans, but when did the GOP listen to Americans? https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/30/trump-east-wing-ballroom-poll-00629724

FBI head Kash patel uses the FBI's jet to go on dates. His dates probably know more about the Epstein files he's hiding than we do. https://newrepublic.com/post/202430/kash-patel-fbi-private-jet-wrestling-date

More than half of Americans said they oppose the $300 million construction project.

A jet took off from Virginia and landed near Patel’s destination right around the time the FBI director was there.

Some neighborhoods of heavily Democratic Washington have a tradition of putting up Halloween displays with a decidedly political tone, with some residents using the holiday to protest the president's policies. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/31/world/trump-halloween-democrats/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #halloween #us #donaldtrump #democrats

Washington's Halloween displays show scariest thing for Democrats is Trump

The White House is also using Halloween to mock opponents, posting images online of Trump with the words, 'Not included — crown,” possibly to make light of the 'No Kings” protests.

Scoop: the #Democrats have been spewing this kind of bullshit for the last 50+ years, maybe longer. It boils down to, "Democrats need to be more like #Republicans."

Answer: Because most #doctors who see patients all day know nothing about #COVID & even less about #longCOVID. They are ~17 years behind #scientists. If they were at all familiar with the #science they'd be wearing #respirators.

Gerrymandering will be the statistical end for democracy in #America 🇺🇸, as it would guarantee a house majority for #Republicans in the coming decades.

👉🏾 Red states are preparing for an end to the Voting Rights Act https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/28/republican-states-voting-rights-act-redistricting-00623775

Since it was too much data for me to quickly analyze, I used Grok (yes, I know) since political questions are allowed: https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5LWNvcHk%3D_f081c424-d161-4d8c-95ad-efe3ddc77c49

Basically the #Democrats would never control the House, making progressive legislation all but impossible.

An end to the Voting Rights Act would free up Southern states to dramatically overhaul their congressional map.

Democratic lawmakers are demanding that any deal to reopen the federal government address expiring #healthcare subsidies that have made #HealthInsurance more affordable for millions of Americans. They also want any government funding bill to reverse the #Medicaid cuts in #Trump’s big tax breaks & spending cuts bill passed this summer.

#Republican #House Speaker #MikeJohnson has refused to negotiate with #Democrats until they first agree to reopen the government.

This is now the second-longest #shutdown.

The longest shutdown occurred during Trump’s first term over his demands for funds to build the US-Mexico border wall. That one ended in 2019 after 35 days.

A federal judge in San Francisco on Tuesday indefinitely barred the #Trump administration from firing #FederalWorkers during the government #shutdown.

US District Judge Susan Illston granted a preliminary injunction [ #PI] that bars the firings while a lawsuit challenging them plays out. She had previously issued a temporary restraining order [ #TRO] against the job cuts that was set to expire Wednesday.

Illston has said she believes the evidence will ultimately show the #MassFirings were #illegal & in excess of authority.

The #Trump admin has slashed #jobs in #education, #health & other areas it says are favored by #Democrats. The admin has also said it will not tap roughly $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits through #SNAP flowing into November.

Second, you don't normalise with a state for stopping a #genocide. You isolate them until the #genocidal #government has been dismantled, the perpetrators have been #arrested. #prosecuted, & #reparations have been made.

The attempts by #Western #institutions to normalise #Israel since the #ceasefire are disgusting & absurd.

First, Israel has not stopped killing #Palestinians, & by all accounts is eager to do more of it.
