the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!

These are the same monuments that were removed by an act of Congress, so yet another example of this administration ignoring the law passed by a branch of government

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

Trump admits to stealing hundreds of billions of dollars from *another* country.

Trump has to go. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?

"Deaths in ICE custody are now at their highest level in more than two decades. In 2025, at least 32 people died in ICE custody, and 2026 is on pace to surpass that, with more than two dozen deaths by mid-September."

Hegseth eliminated staff who prevent civilian casualties, called the rules of engagement safeguarding civilians 'stupid,' & now he's covering up the report on the Minab school strike that killed over 120 children.   He needs to be removed from office & we need accountability NOW.

The Trump regime has suppressed government data about impact of the big ugly bill, hiding it from voters prior to the election. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

CDC just closed offices in Angola and South Sudan. Zimbabwe is next; a dozen more may follow. CDC staff overseas support countries to find outbreaks early and stop them before they reach us. Decisions have consequences. Lives will be lost, including American lives. bit.ly/4B5n6uG

Cutting the diesel tax doesn't make the cost disappear. Who's gonna pay for road repairs? https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/the-kim-kardashian-problem-in-welfare

Trump pushes gutter racism in Ohio: "Look at what's happening in the once great state of MN. What a mess. Somalia ... all they do is kill each other in the streets. They cheat on everything. You have to vote for Michele Tafoya ... I thought I won MN 3 times." The crowd chants "De-port! De-port!"

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

The NIH proposal to conceal reviewer scores from program officers, investigators, and advisory councils is ill-conceived, introduces disproportionate weight to small percentile differences, diminishes the role of scientific peer review, and should be withdrawn in its entirety. a 🧵

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

this is honestly one of the worst and most irresponsible things he has ever posted, and that's really saying something

The Trump administration wants to lift sanctions on a Russian company to benefit mostly Middle Eastern investors (who also happen to be Trump family business partners) www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/w...

One of the first things Fidel Castro did upon taking power was televising live executions by firing squad.

Since '02, Organization for Security & Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) monitors have observed U.S. #vote without interfering. Lacking enforcement power, they just watch & write reports. That scares Trumpers, so now U.S. joins only Russia & Belarus by excluding OSCE. He won't let them monitor midterms

Oh look, US National Science Foundation-supported science won the Nobel Prize in physics.

An American president is encouraging an enemy to destroy American cities. This is treason, though he will claim we are not at war.

BREAKING: DOJ asks SCOTUS to erase trans people from the law in case over trans care in prison. Solicitor General John Sauer made the alarming, all-encompassing argument — previously covered at Law Dork — to the Supreme Court on Monday morning. Today, at Law Dork:

This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

they are going to come for your contraception, it is literally only a matter of time. I just replaced my IUD and if you think any of the long-term methods of contraception would be a good fit for you and/or your partner, now is the time to do it

They also made him sleep on the floor of a holding cell. With the bullet in his back. And no pain medication. They also failed to provide medical care after they shot him. People need to go to prison for this.

Giving an external committee power to veto research funding because it doesn’t align to a political agenda will not only harm science, it is a threat to democracy.

Trump has now refunded $128 billion dollars from his tariffs to corporations. Tariffs he created, made Americans pay for, and then returned right back to his donors. We paid, and his friends cashed in.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) told a federal judge Friday it’s appealing a scorching court order against President Donald Trump’s attempt to sue himself to create an almost $2 billion fund for his political allies. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Texas is delaying its typical September 1 release of maternal mortality data until December 1, conveniently timed to be after the midterm election. Recent reports have shown a sharp rise in ectopic pregnancy deaths after the abortion ban went into effect. www.austinchronicle.com/news/texas-p...

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨 While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

NEW: Bloomberg's editorial board said the Trump White House is "courting a banking crisis." They describe how Trump's regulators are “reducing supervision and encouraging the kind of leverage that can make failures, contagion and bailouts more likely."

BREAKING: Trump Cheers German Neo-Nazi Party Wins

Transferring vast sums of money to a so-called "department of war" to do infectious-disease related work doesn't exactly assuage anyone's fears about bioweapons now does it?

Is Pete Hegseth's mission to destroy the morale of the US military, deplete munitions without replacing them, and render it incapable of dealing with aggression from obvious adversaries like Russia and China? Increasingly, it looks that way.

China's net greenhouse gas emissions *fell* this past quarter. Why? Because rapidly expanding electric vehicle use is putting a serious dent in oil demand. We could do that too. But we're not. We have the slowest EV update in the developed world, thanks to Trump.

Don’t let anyone say Trump’s corruption doesn’t hurt you directly. He’s lining his pockets with foreign cash and government contracts, but according to him, there isn’t enough money for tariff relief or to keep your food safe. The grifters running our country hurt you daily. https://bit.ly/4x0cl9R

We're just hurtling toward immense destruction & suffering & the entire US political class has agreed it's better not to talk about it. "Insanity" barely covers it.

Alleged 185. That number is also high

Not a good idea to put people excited about Armageddon in charge of a nuclear armed nation

You’re not alarmed enough 🚨

⚠️ DHS just launched a new webpage that seeks to pull together data from across the federal government and create lists of “eligible voters” in all 50 states. Voting experts say the federal government lacks the authority to create such lists — which could be used to challenge your right to vote.
