Hello, new followers. I track ICE flights and third-country removals at @prospect.org. This is what the ICE Air operation looked like yesterday, Oct. 23, 2026. --88 flights --14 removal stops --3 third-country removal stops --Nearly all adult passengers shackled at the ankles, wrists & waist.

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

Trump: Gas was $1.85 before I made that decision about Iran. I'd do it again. I thought gas would be double or triple. It's a small price to pay.

HUGE CROWD for Talarico in Galveston. This county voted for Trump by double digits. 😳

The problem fearmongerers have is @NYCMayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social exists

After the recent Trump rallies, it's a novelty to see a president able to fill a venue again.

Surveillance Hot Spots Across the Country 👁️ #theroadshaveeyes

Loved this.

Tim Miller on Mike Collins: “He could have just stayed in Congress…Instead, he runs for Senate…And now everybody knows that his son-in-law is a white nationalist, and his staffers are white nationalists, and he dreams of public executions.”

Missouri friends, you cannot vote for even one Republican. This is unsustainable. They will have to start consolidating and closing schools.

Yes, Rosie!! 👑👑

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

Nothing to see here, folks.

Abolish ICE

Attn: The Trump administration is attempting to violate a judge’s order again. A judge blocked the reorganization of the Forest Service. Now Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the Trump administration is “full-bore ahead” with its sweeping Forest Service reorganization.

😆🙄

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

The Justice Department's last-second letters about noncitizen voting contain people with no history of voting whatsoever, and they're moving so fast they sloppily sent one county the wrong list of names.

Ukraine says satellite access still restricted despite Trump saying otherwise
The president said SpaceX CEO Elon Musk lifted restrictions on Ukraine’s access to Starshield, but Ukrainian soldiers said the service was still disrupted Friday. wapo.st/3UeuOlS Gift article

Hegseth’s staff broke Eisenhower’s globe. The symbolism is too much to bear. (And of course, they ignored the TRAINED EXPERTS WHO HANDLE HISTORICAL ITEMS. Because EDUCATION? EXPERTISE? WHO NEEDS IT?….im going to get some coffee…)

"Lord, we pray that you lift up this venal adulterer who constantly bears false witness so we might continue not to pay taxes and hate all the same people he hates in your holy name. Glory!"

Can someone explain to me how this ad is supposed to be beneficial for Rs? I dont want to hear dog whistle pedo responses--I mean is there an honest explanation to why this appeals to even a semi rational, old-school R person?

How low can Vivek go? Even lower than we thought. www.thebulwark.com/p/how-low-ca...

The Missouri GOP has had a supermajority for 22 years. In that time, they have allowed at least that many Missouri hospitals to close. 

Are hallucinations a stage of dementia? Asking for an enemy...

The White House still hasn’t restored CNN’s access to Air Force One/Oval Office.

Bombshell from the WSJ — Elon Musk ordered Starlink to be throttled, causing devastating hits on Ukraine. He’s also the single biggest funder of Republican candidates this midterm cycle. Vote for them, and you’re voting for him—and EVERYTHING he’s done to harm American interests.

“Wait! WAIT! You better be careful… Quiet! QUIET! What’s wrong with you? Are you a sick person?” The short-tempered thin-skinned dictator wannabe with cratering approval numbers repeatedly loses his shit at reporters. (H/T @atrupar.com )

If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.

The fact that El Sayed uses the Midwestern term “my guy” to address someone he’s about to nail to the wall makes me irrationally happy…

No mention of @marisakabas.bsky.social discovering his identity. No credit for her investigative work at all.

If you’re unclear Amanpour’s exit from CNN after 43 years has to do with the Ellison takeover and her coverage of Israel/Gaza you’re not paying attention. Fascism is taking hold in 🇺🇸, as the Trump-friendly pro-Israel oligarchs buy up the outlets.

James Talarico: I first learned the meaning of service from my great-grandfather, my Poppy. He served this country in World War II and was a member of the Greatest Generation, a group of Americans who asked not how their country could serve them, but how they could serve their country.

Musk: "Zelensky has gone too far." Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine."

The United States continues to help Putin murder civilians in Ukraine

A baby girl was killed in her stroller today by a Russian drone strike in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv Region. Her name was Anhelina. Her mother died as well. ​An absolutely barbaric strike on a park full of families with children. ​6 people have been confirmed killed so far, including other children.

IRS refuses to publish report. Ahead of the midterm elections, the Trump regime is withholding detailed information that illustrates how King Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act hurt millions of Americans. The data from the IRS was originally scheduled to be released in July & updated in September.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

If ever there were a race to be settled with a duel . . .

Meta took their time fixing this action that was allegedly just due to "automated systems." I look forward to a more ample explanation than that just now from his flack by Zuckerberg to the next Congress, with internal Meta communications provided to back up their professed ignorance and innocence.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

Thank you to everyone who has already voted and to everyone participating in today’s No Kings Vote Early events!

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

this is beautiful

Short version: Russia was never a hoax
