Jesse Ventura: “If Donald Trump would have gone in the military, he would have been the guy that wet his bed, cried for his mom, went hysterical, and would be carted out in the middle of the night. The man’s a coward. He’s a bully. All bullies are cowards. That’s why they’re bullies”

huh. I wonder how Fox knew to have their cameras at this "fraud bust" 🤔 almost like it's state media

“Ms. Habba finalized her deal days after the company was registered, while she was still serving as U.S. attorney in New Jersey.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

Trump says Russia has been “fine” on Ukraine. That same day, a Russian drone killed one-year-old Angelina in her stroller and her mother, Inna, in Kharkiv. Six civilians died, including two children. This is Putin's war, not peace. #Ukraine #Russia #Trump #Putin Source: Kyiv Post

This is asking for a lawsuit. Wow.

The US is now helping Russia kill Ukrainian civilians, and destroy Ukrainian energy infrastructure heading into winter. Another big line crossed. It's really bad. Only saving grace I can think of is this might reflect Trump and Putin's worry that the US midterms means their window is closing.

They don’t understand how everyone knows they are lying about everything.

Crazy this is not obvious to Wall Street: every democracy saw what Musk did to Ukraine last week and confirmed security need for Starlink alternative. Those alternatives will not just serve defense needs, but also be viable commercial alternatives, crushing any hope of SpaceX's monopoly projections.

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

Remember this. We are weaker now. “Trump has groomed us.” Try to hold and speak and advocate what you know is right and true. We’ve already moved so far. Don’t change your standards to accommodate their shameless incompetence & cruelty.

So the president claims not to know who did something that should only be doable, if at all, with the president’s knowledge, if not by the president himself.

Corruption is the defining characteristic of the Trump administration. foreignpolicy.com/2026/10/14/t...

Russia continues to bomb Ukraine and kill civilians every single night. Meanwhile, the FBI director is in Russia tweeting “From Russia, with Love.” Absolutely disgraceful.

🇺🇦Zelenskyy: It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner. Morgan: You think you're losing America? 🇺🇦Zelenskyy: Yeah, but not because of us. We can’t be weak. Otherwise, we can’t survive… This is why it’s painful when Trump chooses to be on Russia’s side. This is not the right side of history.

Elon cut off Starlink to Ukraine because they blew up his Russian bots and so now his posts don’t get enough likes? Do I have that right?

Despite months of U.S. military strikes on drug boats, cocaine continues to flow—cheaper and more potent than ever.

We haven’t forgotten. Where are the Epstein files?

"It’s generally illegal for executive branch officials to play a role in awarding contracts that would have a direct impact on their own finances..." www.propublica.org/article/geor...

This level of naked, open corruption is unprecedented in our history.

In the presidential immunity case, the court considered a hypothetical of a president ordering Navy Seals to assassinate an American political rival. Trump's lawyer argued unambiguously yes, since it'd be an "official act." The Roberts Court ruled in his favor, 6-3. Why wouldn't Trump believe this?

Notice the absence of the traditional olive branch? The olive branch symbolized America prioritizing peace with war as a last resort. It has been part of the Great Seal of the United States since 1782 and was part of the original seal of the Department of Defense.

Have you heard of 1789 Capital? The venture capital firm founded by Don Jr? They obtained a stake in a small company named Vulcan Elements-and quickly got a $620 million deal from the Pentagon Why? “The call came from the White House: We have to get this done” #PaytoPlayPresident

🚨BREAKING: Key federal agencies failed to provide any records to back up President Donald Trump’s allegations that tens of thousands of noncitizens are registered to vote in various blue states, a nonpartisan government watchdog said in a new lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

36 minutes before the hearing started.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Anybody remember that Trump-promised FoxConn facility that was to bring 13,000 jobs to Wisconsin? www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/w...

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back. (Published March)

So a Democratic president can ban Fox, Newsmax and other right-wing reporters from the WH and Republicans are good with that since they are apparently good with that precedent now?

👀 This seems bad for multiple reasons.

*US DIESEL FUTURES SETTLE ABOVE $5.26/GALLON, HIGHEST ON RECORD

The Senate is set to vote this afternoon on whether to advance the Clarity Act, a major piece of crypto market structure legislation that would not only enshrine in law Trump's deregulation of the sector, but allow him to continue pocketing billions from his own crypto businesses.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

In a hidden-camera operation, pardon brokers Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl said that for $300,000, they could help a felon get a pardon from the president. They said their services included working with influencers to advocate for his case. cbsn.ws/4dj706z

We are only going to hear about (1) trans people in sports, (2) lies about immigrants, and (3) DEI from Republicans. That’s it. No policies. No ideas. That’s all they have.

The NAACP takes issue with ESPN's decision to give Sen. Ted Cruz a platform to push for the Protect College Sports Act -- without balance or equal time for the opposition to the bill.

GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers voted against legislation guaranteeing health care for first responders sickened by the Sept. 11 attacks. On 9 separate votes or legislative actions between 2003-2010, he opposed, tried to block, or sought to restrict federal health care funding for 9/11 responders.

So Trump already knew this when he demanded an Olympic athlete be prosecuted for a nonexistent crime. Someone else's entire life was irrelevant to him. All he cared about was an excuse to cover up something that made Trump look bad.

There have been many essential pieces written about 9/11 in the past 25 years but this is the one that I keep coming back to since it was first published 5 years ago. It’s hard to explain to younger people what it was like to experience at the time. Worth a read. www.esquire.com/news-politic...

clearly in great spirits after Trumpapalooza

It's quite a high bar and must dramatically narrow the range of competent economists if you can't have criticized Trump's economic policies.

No matter what you think of AfD, it’s weird for the US president to publicly comment on a subnational election in Germany, and cheer for a party getting a plurality. The specifics—neo-Nazis, transnational fascist solidarity—make it extra bad. But it’s not normal, and shows where his priorities lie.
