Noem lying is no big surprise. That people believe anything the people in this administration say is surprising. I want to thank you for your good news every day. It’s the one thing I look to and it uplifts me in a time that could suck the life out of anyone. Thanks!

Even the lower courts have thrown out the presumption of regularity. They know that the administration lies and are not letting them get away with it. 🥳

When MAGA Mike speaks at the podium, good camera work is able to blot out that he is speaking while adhered to Trump’s behind. Noem should celebrate that today is the Day of the Dead. She just doesn’t see the lives she is responsible along with the Hatchet Cabinet.

Thanks for covering his face with pumpkin pie... so appropriate. Hopefully they will actually release the SNAP funds. I realize judges have authorized it but we know what a bunch of traitors this regime has become.

We must resist! The fascists are starving us into submission. My partner and I were fired from our civil service careers. We had to line up at a food bank again, use the same Halloween costumes as last year for our kids, and recycle their candy to give to trick or treaters.

So many of us are struggling with DOGE and the MAGA shutdowns - any support makes a big difference: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/emergency-furlough-maga-shutdown

Noem is such a joke. End of subject.

And the courts are holding. This is a good sign.

Mike Johnson needs to go. He’s not doing his job. He’s Kevin McCarthy 2.0 on steroids. He’s definitely ignoring the will of the people. Props to the Secretary of Agriculture for making a fool of that jack ass❣️Thanks, Scott!

I expect many people are doing without both heat and food. It is tragically sad when America as a whole could make a positive difference for comfort for all if only we had caring leaders now who would do their jobs as hired and with wisdom and compassion.

Notice how Abigail and Mikie are showing up, standing up, and speaking up loud and clear? That’s called leadership - let’s have more like them! FYI - the Emperor has no clothes (what a disturbing graphic that is)!

They are both bad@ss!

I bought a bunch of different buttons with progressive and anti-Trump slogans on Etsy after I got back from the No Kings protest. On of the says:

Hell Hath No Fury like 167 Million Women Scorned!

2018 brought us both Abigail and Mikie - they were both in the 2018 freshman class in Congress. Let's pull a double this year and then see what 2026 brings us!

Trump and MAGA Mike badly read the situation. They undoubtedly thought that the Democrats would cave to this blatant attempt at blackmail immediately - which considering Schumer's spineless caving early this year was probably a reasonable assumption based on past behavior!

But the GOP had no plan B and now they are stuck. And all their efforts to blame the Democrats are not being bought by anyone but the most devout Trump acolytes who live in the Fox News echo chamber.

Does MAGA Mike really think he can spin the current Sec. of Agriculture's apology about the failure of the current administration's policies as coming from the Democrats? The woman that Trump nominated for this position, earlier this year?

🤣🤣🤣

In what world would that pass the smell test? Not only is MAGA Mike a LIAR, a HYPOCRITE and INCOMPETENT at his job, he really SUCKS at the art of the political spin!!

There's so many things WRONG with this Regime that's harder to pinpoint the current worst one but most are the results of lies. Noem's lies are daily spewed upon us. Just as Trump's lies about his health, the SNAP can't pay and the idea of a deal with China. Argentina has played him for money that belongs to the people of this country. Bessent should remember he has no immunity from prosecution for helping out Argentina ahead of United States citizens.

Thank you for the pie emoji!! It scares me that this regime lies as they breathe and people believe them. I don’t know how any country can survive with no consistent trusted framework for accurate information. I’m in Chicago and know for fact they’re terrorizing everyone - it’s getting worse every day - some of us know, some of us don’t know, some have heard but think it’s “radical left propaganda” . . . Re: SNAP I’m glad to see the decision but will wait to see if the regime complies.

1. Kristi Garden Gnome belongs in prison for what she has done. I can only hope that will happen one day.

2. The judge's ruling only helps if the regime obeys it. They have not respected the rule of law yet and I doubt they will start now. I sincerely hope there will be swift and strong punishment for them when rational people take back the government.

1) I have many thoughts about Kristi Noem (and her big lie), but they can't be shared publicly.

2) It's sad that it has taken judges to get the Trump administration to do something for the people who elected them. Time will tell if he adheres to the judicial orders or finds some workaround and pathetically transparent way to blame the Democrats.

They will blame the Democrats, of course, but we must spread the truth. Repost The Dworkin Report everyday - everybody needs some good news!

They will TRY and blame the Democrats, but I'm not sure they will succeed with anyone but the rabid cult members!

I have been doing visibility protests with my local Indivisible chapter. Today was a was double header - I did my regular Saturday morning protest and then went to an ICE out of Home Depot protest in front of a local Home Depot where ICE agents have been arresting immigrant day laborers as they look for work. (This wasn't an Indivisible sponsored event, but the local coordinator is one of active protest captains from our Indivisible chapter.

People are definitely getting used to honking when they pass a protest - and they are getting more enthusiastic, too! (I just wish some of them would join us!!

At the same time, the Trumpers are getting more virulent in their negative responses. But mostly it is still just angry shouts (and hand gestures) out of their car windows or angry reving of their motors and accelerating quickly.

This afternoon there was one (young white) guy on foot who seemed angry that we were on the sidewalk. I thought he was just a rude entitled guy who was upset that we didn't automatically step aside so that he could pass. But the protest organizer thought he might have been trying to intimidate us. If so, he failed miserably!!
