INTERROGATE ELON; it’ll be great television, and there’s a non-zero chance he’ll be so ganked on ketamine that the hearings will devolve into high comedy and unplanned revelations. Read more from Rick Wilson: https://bit.ly/4yL7HNZ

When the next US Congress investigates corruption, Trump's oil-deal-of-the-century with Alejandro Betancourt, the face of Venezuelan corruption, should be top of its list. Two kleptocracies working together. Brilliant essay by @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

The Republican Party takes your money and uses it to openly bribe voters. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It is kinda funny that Bill Maher keeps trying to be Trump’s friend while Trump continues to shit all over him on a regular basis.

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

The Russian drone operators call this "human safari."

We are now at the point where Trump is comparing the asses of Jon Husted and Nicki Minaj.

Ukraine is taking back territory, and Trump is trying to bail out Putin — the one assignment he has always taken seriously. (Note: this essay by Phillips O'Brien is from last week. See his page for this week's update as well) phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

As his policies bankrupt them, Trump-supporting farmers fully embrace socialism. But only if it’s for them.

A small campaign you can join and make a difference — helping to save lives at the front. And the patches are nice. www.help99.co/patches/corn...

A recent post by a Nobel Peace Prize winner.

"The party needs to relearn what integrity means and that Republicans answer to voters, not to Trump." Chris Truax, southern California McCain primary campaign chair in 2008, on why GOP voters should choose Democrats this year. Yes please. Help us out here. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

The great Oleksandra Matviichuk is absolutely right to draw attention to the horrible humanitarian crisis in Oleshky. All Putin, Witkoff, and Kushner can do is invert and traduce the meaning of “humanitarianism,” in the best traditions of Russian propaganda.

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

“It’s not only unlawful, but it’s not in the U.S. interest to have Russian technology controlling the commercialization of Arctic gas in the North Slope,” Mr. Riddle said in a brief interview."

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...

"After fighting Chavistas and their Russian, Iranian, and Cuban allies for so long, nobody in Venezuela’s historically pro-American democratic opposition ever expected a U.S. administration to stand in their way. But if it does, they are preparing to fight that obstacle too."

This was like his 3rd glitch during the speech where he just randomly stops mid-sentence and makes a weird noise or, in this case, just opens his mouth and freezes for 3 seconds while saying nothing, then continues. Pretty sad that TV networks refuse to cover this situation.

I remember when media did a whole bunch of stories about Joe Biden’s shoes to emphasize that he was old. But Trump can randomly blurt out random noises, fall asleep constantly in meetings, and walk like a drunk failing a sobriety test, and we get almost nothing.

This is not how American democracy should function. It’s getting worse every election, not better. I know constitutional amendments are difficult, but it seems like there should be a bipartisan supermajority of citizens who say enough with this stuff.

They had to kick up the cash to the boss to get out of the doghouse after they got called out making bank on their side gig during the midterms by Trump. The Republican Party operates like the Sopranos.

I am beginning to think that “superpower suicide” understates the case.

And it was actually a prisoner exchange in which we gave them an actual Russian criminal and we also gave them diplomatic cover in a war of aggression — not only morally shameful and personally humiliating but as a negotiation absolutely laughably unequal.

$78 million spent in ads by Republicans just in Texas about the trans issue. Just that issue in one state.

Here we go. First of many challenges to the 2026 election results from Republicans who will refuse to accept the results if they lose.

At every turn, Trump puts Russia before America. Why? youtu.be/JYWT4wFPJ9s

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

What a surprise that former Epstein pal Donald Trump is enthusiastically all-in with someone exploiting child sex assault in the OH governor’s race.

Blatantly illegal. Rubio needs to be hauled in front of Congress when we finally get a Congress. www.washingtonsun.com/administrati...

CNN montage of creepy old perv Trump lusting after men on the campaign trail.

Some political prisoners have been freed, but others remain. Perkins Rocha, a constitutional lawyer who objected to the theft of the 2024 elections, is still under house arrest. Maria Corina Machado, the opposition leader, keeps being thwarted in her attempts to return.

In Venezuela last September, I found people hoping for change, but shocked and surprised by US policy, especially opaque oil deals with former regime cronies. The system looks, one economist told me, like “a coalition of two kleptocracies" www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

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.

Very good and accurate description of the archetypical ‘Vatnik’. Read, understand, identify and expel👇 

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

Voters are struggling while Trump and his corrupt elites wave money and false promises in their faces. It's exactly why people have had enough of this administration. Watch Rick Wilson on MSNOW.

Rob Bresnahan made his money then cut your healthcare. https://heartlandsignal.com/2026/10/21/rob-bresnahan-sold-health-care-stocks-before-medicaid-vote/

When asked about Vivek’s ad against Amy Acton, Vance says he is “disgusted.” Not disgusted by the ad, but disgusted by Republicans who objected to the ad. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Epstein, Trump, Max Miller, and now Amy Acton's mom...the Republican Party protects the pedophiles and the abusers, not you.

JD Vance is the guy who married a woman who is a US citizen because of the 14th Amendment. The same 14th Amendment Vance and Trump are trying to repeal.

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Very valuable and very sober analysis www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-puti...

988,000 people bought into Trump’s crypto scam. Maybe start there.

Just in today’s news JD Vance was shown to be a spreader of Russian propaganda, argued in favor of a child-rape political ad, and was dissed by his hometown football team.

The protesters are the only people at Trump’s rally who aren’t lying.
