" #Congress has effectively been dissolved by Speaker #MikeJohnson." --Jamelle Bouie on MSNBC.
The Pentagon said it received an anonymous $130 million donation to pay the military during the U.S. government shutdown, a move the administration might not legally be able to carry out. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/25/world/politics/pentagon-anonymous-gift-pay-troops/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #usmilitary #budgets #congress #donaldtrump

“Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters,” #Hegseth posted late Wednesday evening adding that the admin would not relent in its campaign against vessels they claim are bringing drugs destined for the #US. “We will find them & kill them, until the threat to the American people is extinguished.”

It was the 9th known attack by #US Special Operations forces since the operation began in early September, bringing the officially acknowledged death toll to 37. The consecutive strikes in the #Pacific mark an expansion of the campaign, which started in the #Caribbean, & highlights how the effort has evolved into a wider #military operation even as #legal experts & lawmakers on Capitol Hill question the legal basis & strategic purpose.

We took pictures of each other’s signs! Hers was so great, w the little doll hands and the red cheeks of the SCOTUS puppets. So cheap, only $4.3M each!
Her scissors message is spot on: “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty”.

“Don’t Give Up” but then an exclamation point, down near the poster of an inflatable frog reading “HOP” - my protest sign.
Protest sign of the president with doll hands and strings, controlling his six judges on the Supreme Court. The woman holding it is using her phone to take a picture of my sign.

Adelita Grijalva has been duly elected by the people of Arizona's 7th District. She won in a LANDSLIDE!
The people are without representation right now. They are disenfranchised because the House Speaker is acting in a corrupt and unlawful manner. Adelita Grijalva must be sworn in.

It's starting to look like it was convicted felon rapist Trump who taught pedophile rapist Epstein about hiring under aged girls to work as 'spa attendants'.

In Giuffre's 2015 civil case against Maxwell, she named:
"All staff and employees at Mar-a-Lago during 1999-2002" as individuals who may have knowledge of Maxwell's crimes.
Shown here, paragraph 91
7 other Epstein survivors also can be placed at Mar-a-Lago
Giuffree not the only one

Adelita Grijalva won her special election Sept 23rd.
She’s been prohibited from governing ever since.
Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in.
Why? She’s the 218th vote needed to discharge the Epstein petition.
Today she was joined by the Democratic Women’s Caucus and they marched together to demand she be granted her constitutional right to govern.
The AG of Arizona has also threatened legal action against Mike Johnson if he does not swear her in.
Keep saying her name. Call your elected officials.
Let’s get Adelita to Congress!

#Gorsuch appeared skeptical of Nelson’s argument, pressing her on how & when race can be used in the drawing of maps. His questions cut to the heart of the questions the justices are considering today.
“You’re saying sometimes acceptable for a federal district court to order a map that intentionally discriminates on the basis of race?” he asked. The #Louisiana maps at issue today weren’t drawn by a judge, but courts can order maps re-drawn under the #VRA.
Nelson pushed back. It’s not #discrimination for states to keep race in mind as they draw voting districts to comply with the #VRA & ensure representation for minority votes, she argued.
Under questioning from Justice Elena #Kagan, Nelson describes as “catastrophic” the impact of Secton 2 of the #VotingRightsAct ceasing to prevent vote dissolution, including in legislative districts beyond #Congress.

"The Russia-backed Republican Party shut down the U.S. government to deprive millions of Americans of health care and to protect the pedophile Trump from the #Epstein files.
Massive information warfare leaves the American public confused, angry and feeling powerless."
U.S. President Donald Trump’s hardball tactic of ordering permanent layoffs amid a government shutdown has hardened Democrats’ deep distrust of Republicans and risks prolonging the standoff. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/12/world/politics/trump-trust-democrats-shutdown/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #congress #budgets #republicans #democrats #donaldtrump
