The military generals and admirals looked at Donald Trump with sheer disgust.

A sickly, cognitively addled, rotting thing before their eyes.

Look at Donald Trump's hand, what it looked like yesterday.

Look at the faces of the generals and the admirals observing this

thing,

this fascist creature up there who is talking about things that are so anathema to the United States Constitution on the eve of a shutdown, and now we are in an official government shutdown.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth having one of the most deranged and fascist speeches to our military generals and admirals.

And meanwhile, you had Donald Trump sending messages to his

supporters via email, begging them for money.

I need your help.

The deadline is about to hit.

There is a critical FEC deadline.

Give me money.

It's what he was begging his supporters for.

As Americans across the country right now are in severe financial distress.

I mean, if you look at just some of the latest Google search results as well, I mean, just look at some of the data that's out there.

U.S.

Google searches for bankruptcy lawyer are the highest they've ever been.

The hiring rate for the trade and transportation industry is is at 2008 lows.

The housing market right now is utterly destroyed.

You've got photojournalists in the federal courthouses across the country, like the federal immigration courthouse in New York, who are being beaten and battered by Donald Trump's Gestapo ICE agents, being carried out in stretchers.

You see this ICE officer right here who pushed down, or this photojournalist who was pushed down to the ground and had to be carried out in a stretcher by people after being crushed by ICE officers.

This is what's going down in with Donald Trump's shutdown, in Donald Trump's America.

Look at the headlines across the board from the Financial Times.

Trump says U.S.

cities should be used as military training grounds.

The Wall Street Journal.

Trump tells generals the military will be used to fight the enemy from within.

The president hailed the use of military force to police U.S.

cities, saying that some will be used as training grounds for American troops.

Or the New York Times, Trump tells top brass that U.S.

cities should be military training grounds.

While we were on the eve of a government shutdown last night, Donald Trump kept on posting AI memes of Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries wearing a sombrero and with a mustache and with like mariachi players behind him.

Over and over again, Donald Trump was posted.

These are serious times and serious issues as we are now in a government shutdown.

And this is Donald Trump's behavior.

No wonder, overwhelmingly, Americans blame Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans for this Donald Trump shutdown.

Also, if you take a look right here at the swing states, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, and Arizona, Donald Trump's approval is so far underwater that if the elections were to be held today, it would be an utter blowout.

Wisconsin, Donald Trump, negative 10.

Michigan, negative 12.

Pennsylvania, negative 13.

Georgia, negative 11.

Nevada, negative 12.

North Carolina, negative 9.

Arizona, negative 7.

I mean, disastrous numbers.

Oh, and here's what Donald Trump's posting.

He was too scared to allow the press to be inside the Oval Office when his meeting took place with leader Hakeem Jefferies for the Democrats and Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer.

So Donald Trump is posting photos of them in the Oval Office.

You see Magna Mike Johnson and Senator Jon Thune there.

You see Chuck Schumer.

Donald Trump put Trump 2028 hats on the desk of the Oval Office.

And then Donald Trump actually posted this photo of himself right here, putting his finger in Hakeem Jeffries' face and like laughing.

Like, I mean, just look at Donald Trump's face.

Zoom in on his face.

Like, he thinks that's a flattering image of him.

Like, he looks like a South Park character.

Like, he looks like literally the Trump South Park character who's having a baby with Satan.

And then it's the Trump 2028 hats.

Ha ha.

So funny, Donald.

You're trolling everybody while we're on the eve of a government shutdown.

Grow up.

I mean, seriously, grow the hell up.

I mean, who behaves like this?

Again, I don't care what political, for you watching this, I don't care what political party you're from.

I mean, what the hell are we even watching here?

I mean, what is this behavior?

While Americans are suffering, this is what he is doing.

Judges are fed up right now as well.

The Ronald Reagan-appointed U.S.

District Judge in Massachusetts, Judge William Young, issued a scathing order against the Trump regime yesterday, saying the following, quote, ICE goes masked for a single reason to terrorize Americans into quiescence to us masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan in all our history we have never tolerated this behavior before and now under the Trump regime they are trying to normalize this behavior similarly you have Judge McElroy, a Trump appointed judge federal district court judge in Rhode Island, who ordered the Trump regime to preserve $233 million in FEMA grants it attempted to pull from blue states.

The regime wanted to take away all of the FEMA funding in blue states and repurpose it for whatever their means are, I guess, to build more concentration camps across the country.

And this Again, Trump-appointed judge, Judge Mary McElroy says, quote, this is yet another case where the administration is saying, I'm going to do what I want to do and not what the law says, and make the court make me.

And this also follows another district court judge in that same courthouse previously making a ruling against the Trump regime's

treatment of migrants as well, and the Trump kidnapping the migrants there.

And they called Trump out.

And that was a George W.

Bush judge who made that prior ruling in here.

You have a Trump appointed judge calling them out as well.

Some other developments took place yesterday that are worth noting.

The White House had to withdraw the nomination of their Bureau and Labor Statistics nominee.

Remember that guy, E.J.

Antony?

The guy who had like Hitler's boats behind him and who was at the January 6th insurrection, the Hitler boat paintings behind him at the insurrection, the guy who's got like no significant economics background to even hold this position.

That's who the Trump regime appointed to become the new Bureau of Labor Statistician Commissioner because Donald Trump, remember a few months back, didn't like the job data that was accurately being reported.

We know what's happening with jobs in America.

Jobless claims are surging.

We saw one of the weakest jobs reports that just came out in generations.

It's never been as bad since the 2008 Great Recession.

The jobs data, it's a frozen jobs market is the report that we got yesterday when you look back at August and you get more of this financial data and it paints a very grim picture.

Should also be noted that yesterday as well, a second Trump-appointed U.S.

attorney has been disqualified after a federal senior judge, Judge David Campbell, said that this Segal Chata, Donald Trump's pick to be the U.S.

attorney in Nevada, who was never actually confirmed, and the judges there don't want her because

Judge, because Segal Chata has said some of the most like maniacal and deranged things ever.

Well,

she has been declared to be basically

like not allowed to have her job and she's like a pretender.

So like you have Alina Haba right now in New Jersey, who based on the rulings is not allowed to be in that office.

I just want you to think about these sociopaths that Donald Trump has put in these United States attorney positions.

Like we're in this government shutdown right now, right?

We have

prosecutions of drug-related cases across the countries that are at all times lows.

Trump's gutting the FB.

He's already gutted everything.

Like notwithstanding the shutdown, he's already gutted everything.

And then you go and see, like, who are the federal prosecutors?

These are people who are supposed to be appointed and confirmed by the Senate.

And their terms can be extended if they just behave like normal human beings.

And the judges vote to extend their ability to remain as the top federal prosecutors in their district.

So he's got Alina Haba in New Jersey, right?

He's got this Segal Chata

in Nevada.

And now, what these courts have been saying also is if they're on cases, these cases are invalid and these cases can get thrown out.

So all of these criminal prosecutions are now imperiled.

Not to mention you have Donald Trump appointing his former personal attorney, Lindsey Halligan, to be the attorney in Virginia to go after James Comey.

This regime, again, I don't care what political party you're from, this regime is a mess.

And they're terrified.

They're petrified.

They are deeply scared also of the discharge petition regarding the Epstein files being being signed.

218 votes is what's needed to get that discharge petition signed and for a vote to take place on the House floor.

So now MAGA Mike Johnson and Donald Trump are refusing to allow the Democratic Congresswoman-elect from Arizona's 7th congressional district, who won in a special election last week, Adelita Grijalva.

She should be sworn in.

We know that MAGA Mike Johnson was in Washington, D.C.

yesterday.

We saw those deranged interviews that he gave.

Swear in Congresswoman Alec Rehalva.

Swear in already.

But they don't want to swear her in.

They swore in all the Republicans, Republicans elect right away.

Boom.

But this Congresswoman elect, because she'll sign the Epstein discharge petition to release the files, they're not allowing her to be sworn in right now.

And they're trying to utilize the shutdown as a way to avoid the discharge petition being signed to hide the freaking Epstein files.

It's the Trump Epstein shutdown.

Take a look at what Congresswoman Alec Rajalva had to say here.

Play this clip.

It is day two here in DC.

Look at me.

I'm surrounded by all of this beautiful, these beautiful structures, these beautiful people, all here to work.

And am I sworn in yet?

No.

Do I know when I'm going to get sworn in?

No.

Speaker Johnson has left the building.

And unfortunately, what that means for us is Southern Arizona does not have a voice here to advocate for you.

You also don't have services in district.

I need to get sworn in in order for that to happen.

Every day that I am here without being sworn in, Southern Arizona loses.

Reach out to Speaker Johnson.

Let him know that I need to get sworn in.

Yeah, and finally, folks, I do want to make sure I cover some international affairs developments.

Mayus Sandhu, the president of Moldova, will go on to remain president of Moldova.

This is really big, folks.

The Moldovan people have spoken.

Sunday's election results are now clear.

The Moldovans are united in their desire for peace, democracy, and Europe, and in the courage to defend them.

This is not just a party's victory.

It is Moldova's victory.

The European path is the way forward.

Of course, you may know by now that Maya Sandu is the, what represents the pro-EU party.

Now, Putin and all of those right-wing extremist forces forces that we see in the international world tried to interfere in that Moldovan election, but the pro-EU party won significantly.

And folks, I think there are broader implications here.

As Mario Polowski writes, Moldova just slapped Russia in the face.

Despite decades of Russian influence, non-stop social media propaganda, cyber attacks, oligarch puppets, and every dirty trick in the book, the pro-EU party just crushed it.

They won.

This is bigger than people realize.

Moldova is a tiny and vulnerable area and flooded with Russian-speaking voters, but they still said no to Moscow and yes to Europe.

That means any country can.

If Moldova can resist Russia's Mordor, so can EU, America, anybody can.

No more excuses.

The wall of fear is cracking.

The empire of lies is weaker than it looks.

And Elon, if you're still confused whose side you're on, pay attention.

It wasn't just Elon.

It was also the owner of Telegram who was trying to get involved there and I think push the Putin-like parties over there.

But a big victory for Moldova there.

And this reminds me of what AOC said yesterday as well about Trump, that these fascist forces, the regime, they depend upon just trying to intimidate you, to get you to, remember the phrase, obey in advance.

Don't obey.

These are weak people.

These are stupid people.

They're very dangerous.

But if we stand up to them, if we stay united, if we show our power and don't let them take away our power, then we can actually reclaim our democracy from this authoritarian regime here in the United States.

And so I wanted to leave you with that very uplifting story out of Moldova, which you may not be hearing in other places.

Now, I do want to share this with you as well, because, you know, I know as Donald Trump's bragging about 24 karat gold in the White House and how rich he's getting and new money that his family's making from Saudi Arabia, Americans are struggling right now.

Our farmers are going bankrupt, far-mageddon, construction, manufacturing is collapsing.

The job market is frozen.

The housing market's the worst since 1995.

Groceries are skyrocketing in prices.

People are living paycheck to paycheck.

And can they afford rent the next month?

Trump's taking away people's health care.

And we all know that Donald Trump, when he's saying, oh, you know, I'm just, this is all about transgender people in Peru and illegal immigrants.

And that's with the Democrats, $1.5 trillion for illegal immigrants.

I think the American people understand that this guy's the biggest con artist ever.

I hope you do now realize that this guy's the biggest con artist ever.

He's a lifelong fraud.

He's a Ponzi schemer.

He's a bankrupt.

He's an actual criminal.

He's a felon.

He also happens to be a sexual abuser.

He is a bad human being.

He is a fraud.

He is dangerous.

And again, to see those faces of the military watching him talk about invading American cities, it was a horrific sight indeed.

Don't let them take your power, though.

As we're in this shutdown, we're in this together and might as touch this whole network.

we stand with you every step of the way.

We're fighting for you.

We hear you.

We're with you shoulder to shoulder.
