President Trump temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether. Our investigative reporter Eric Lipton explains how corporate interests took power inside the EPA. Read more: nyti.ms/4il3336

Geez. Horses, gates.

Boll weevil. Screw worm. Amanda Price-types in history have always locked the gates after the horse has bolted.

The crime happens if a Democrat is elected. Anywhere

Obama points out that while we may be struck with Trump for two more years, we are not stuck with a spineless Congress

What we learned is that former petrochemical lobbyists now inside the EPA are meeting with former clients and then moving to force career staff at the EPA to rollback public health protections. We found the actual documents detailing these moves. Smoking guns. (Redlines striking protections)

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

History doesn't reset the day after Trump. It's not automatic back to normal, yay democracy won. We will still have a republic that is gravely wounded and bleeding out. Defeating the current assailant doesn't mean you've stopped the bleeding. The wounds are still there and still potentially fatal.

Few of the mainstream outlets are willing to notify readers in headlines of *why* the ad is “explosive”

The US military fired roughly 19 years’ worth of Patriot interceptor purchases in just seven months of Trump’s Iran War, the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimates.

Trump is repeating his threats to remove Ilhan Omar from Congress. They’re trying to concoct some fake reason to denaturalize her and put her in prison or deport her. I feel like I’m going insane watching this happen in the US.

Ukraine war briefing: Zelenskyy claims US deliberately delaying interceptor missile deliveries to Kyiv #Ukraine

Who paid for Vivek Ramaswamy's pro-pedophile ad campaign? Here they are

Meanwhile conservatives are banning cities from mandating water breaks for workers during hot weather

This is so damaging to America that I cannot fully put into words how ashamed I am of my country at this moment. 

Dear reporters: Please stop asking if they're going to do things that are illegal. It's not helping at all.

Nobody from a Western country should be traveling to or visiting Russia. Putin is always looking for fresh hostages to use in negotiations.

Approximately 1,300 military dependents were displaced after Iranian attacks began in February 2026. Families say they received inadequate warnings and were left in Bahrain while missiles and drones threatened nearby installations. #SupportTheTroops

Imagine tapping the screen for your chosen candidate and watching the machine switch your vote to Marsha Blackburn. Voters in Tennessee are sounding the alarm. Check your review screen carefully before you cast your ballot so your voice is actually heard. #TrumpsCrimesOnYourDime

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Who is that reporter? The very question gives tacit permission for bad behavior.

Woke up this morning and, despite my serious depression that the Republicans have let Trump pervert the country so much that it is a vassal to Putin and Russia -- ah, nevermind. I'm back into depression.

Republican Congressman Don Bacon calls for the firing of Steve Witkoff after a full transcript of his betrayal is published.

Here’s the full transcript of Witkoff’s traitorous call with the top Russian negotiator. Witkoff is basically an unregistered foreign agent working for Putin.

For more than 40 years, the U.S. Arctic Research Commission has advised Congress and the president on what to study in the far north. Trump appointed a venture capitalist and MAGA influencer with no formal science background — and ties to Russia — as its chair.

It's a YOLO government!

Trump's concentration camps are horrific, hellish places, with inhumane conditions There's inadequate food, water, sanitation, or medical care There have been outbreaks of flu, measles, & Covid Detainees have disappeared Detainees have died of untreated illnesses

Vivek Ramaswamy, Ken Paxton, Mike Collins, Roger Marshall, on and on - everywhere you look the most despicable humans financed by a handful of billionaires and elevated by Trump want you to give them even more political power to serve their interests at your expense.

Rolling out alleged noncitizen voting prosecutions right before the election instills fear in minority communities, may dampen voter turnout, provides an excuse for GOP losses, serves as a pretext for challenging the results, and is brazen ratfuckery. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

seems like engagement-addled media could get a lot more juice by asking GOP candidates whether they denounce slavery and Nazis

“why don’t u have solutions for the problems we created? really makes u think”

Helping Putin at Ukraine's expense doesn't make America safer. It emboldens Russia, undermines our alliances, and risks encouraging other autocrats to believe that aggression pays. Standing with Ukraine is both the right thing to do and in America's national interest.

Zelenskyy: "If the United States supports Putin, it's unbelievable, it's a tragedy. It's a historic mistake. If United States officially takes the side of Russia, of course we will not prevail and we will not be able to stand."

He blames Zelenskyy. He shut down Starlink. He shared classified intel with Russians. He revealed CIA operatives to Putin who were assassinated. He sabotaged NATO. He was impeached for extorting Zelenskyy. #TrumpIsARussianAsset #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AyBSKirjyQbu...

We need to know who screwed Ukraine in order to help Putin. I think we already know, but we need to know formally. thehill.com/newsletters/...
