Every time I remember this I want a Trump supporter to suffer!! 🤬

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

What’s going on between Trump and Putin? Why are they calling each other humanitarians? I explain why that’s the the point and the flattening of language and words under authoritarians.

Here's how private equity killed your local mall.

Why is Trump making so many concessions to Russia now? I think it's three things. #HighStakes

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

New data shows the average credit card interest rate hit 21.4% in 2025. Donald Trump promised to cap rates at 10%. Every day he doesn’t deliver, American borrowers pay an extra $368 million in interest. Working families continue paying the price for Trump’s broken promises.

“A comparable scenario would have been President Franklin Roosevelt siding with Hitler or Stalin in 1939. 'Mind-boggling that we have a president in this position'...” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales Americans told themselves like ghost stories... "But this alliance now exists." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Trump says prices are coming "way, way down." Inflation was below 3% when Biden left office. It is 3.7% now.

NEW: With the DOJ challenging tens of thousands of voters in his state, California Gov. Newsom accused Trump of trying to rig the upcoming midterm elections. “He's going after the voting rolls, trying to purge those rolls,” the governor said. “He's going after truth and trust on vote by mail.”

Meta shut out Indivisible from Instagram on the No Kings Day meant to rally people to vote.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

huh. what could this posssssssssibly mean. the US media willful professed ignorance on this stuff is increasingly embarrassing. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Trump tells Congress he doesn't care about what they think and lifts Russian energy sanctions www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

whoa... the current map of "No Kings: Vote Early" events planned for tomorrow, sat oct 17: www.nokings.org

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Vote Blue to Crush MAGA Fascism.

It’s a federal crime to send armed federal agents to the polls. So why does the Trump administration keep suggesting it? “The answer is … Donald Trump wants to, to use his words, cheat like hell,” Marc Elias says. This isn't over. Stay close: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

The Trump administration was too stupid to realize that cutting food safety programs and firing thousands of public servants would have shitty consequences. Watch.

Trump's tax cuts and botched tariffs will add over a trillion to deficits over the next five years.

CEO compensation has increased 1,316% since 1978. And worker compensation? Just 28%. The system is rigged. We need to start taxing the rich so they pay their fair share.

The asshole who gave roaring crowds the Roman/Nazi salute, stole public databases, celebrated firing career public servants, bragged about taking food and medical aid from impoverished people, … that guy is now a Pentagon advisor. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

🚨 FACT: There is a federal criminal law that prohibits any armed agent of the federal government from being at the polls. There is only one exception. Marc Elias explains. Stay in the know: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?

This Supreme Court’s rulings come down to one question: Does Trump want this? “The Supreme Court could just close up shop and put out a sign that says, ‘The government always wins,’ and save us all the time,” Marc Elias says. Help us fight back: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

Trump and Republicans are terrified of policies that curb their own wealth and power, and the wealth and power of the oligarchs that bankroll them. That's why they're amping up the fearmongering about "socialism."

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

With just under one month to go until the next No Kings, there are already more than 1,000 events on the map. That means October 17 will be the largest early vote activation in American history. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Trump's ban on MSNOW, CNN, and Politico is not only part of the autocratic playbook, but the timing is no coincidence. Trump is well in the autocratic backfire process, thus, entire media outlets he sees as threats must be banished. This is a moment of reckoning for America.

🚨BREAKING: California enacts new safeguards aimed at blocking potential election interference by Trump in the midterms. The laws make illegal ballot seizures and certain efforts to disrupt mail voting felonies.

Judges are targets in the United States, a backsliding and damaged democracy, because they have repeatedly stood up for democratic notions of justice. We are in a fight for the soul of the judiciary and the future of what law will mean while Trump retains power.

In authoritarian states, “law” upholds lawlessness, and its first duty is to keep the leader safe from domestic or outside accountability processes. Judicial capture is the means, and the conversion of the law into what the leader and his enablers need it to be is the end.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Don Jr. & Eric have major investments in data centers and AI infrastructure. Don. Jr's firm 1789 Capital also has shares in major tech companies working in AI. Donald's own stock portfolio itself is heavily invested in Big Tech stocks. When Trump says AI doesn't need guardrails, follow the money.

we've reached a new milestone- the U.S. average diesel price has hit $6.301/gal while gasoline is up to $4.355/gal. I expect both of these to jump noticably over the next 48 hours. diesel could hit $6.60/gal in a few days, surpassing the inflation-adjusted peak seen in 2022.

So now we find out what happened to all that data stolen by DOGE..

Samuel Alito flew flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the Jan 6 plot. Both ruled in favor of Trump's mail-in ballot sabotage. I don't think I'll ever get over this.
