Fintan O'Toole: Kushner’s political and financial relationship with the UAE’s president, Mohammed bin Zayed ...constitutes what must surely be the worst case of US foreign policy being conducted outside the law and democratic oversight since the Iran-contra scandal...

For the last month, I've been posting examples of Trump's authoritarianism that I call "Dictator Move of the Day." If you search that phrase, you'll see that the fascist president is constantly trying to undermine our democracy. I'm going to keep doing these posts. We've got to stop him.

LEGAL immigrants in Tennessee are now unable to renew their driver’s licenses because of a new law from Tennessee Republicans. www.tennessean.com/story/news/l...

The Cleveland Plain Dealer doesn't make political endorsements, but they're making an exception in the governor's race this year: "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

Talk about dying to be loved. Bill Maher invites every sycophant under the sun onto his show, yet Trump still trashes him. If you're thinking of appearing as a guest, it's a terrible move—neither side is even watching anymore. Turn it off.

NEW: A federal judge has now ruled that former SDNY prosecutor, Maurene Comey, was UNLAWFULLY fired by the Trump DOJ. He orders her retroactive reinstatement and back pay. Comey alleged in her lawsuit that she was fired for politically motivated reasons. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/26/m...

“While each of us (voted Brexit) for different reasons, we all believed that the UK could do a better job of running its own affairs than *unelected officials* in Brussels could." Ben Houchen... November 2020 Six years later 👇👇👇

Sorry to respond to a meme, but this is in part a local news issue. Nobody's covering zoning board and city council meetings until it's way too late. Obviously, government capture by rich guys and corrupt local officials is the main reason, but the prophylactic is local news.

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Leaky Sue strikes again.

The president is considering mass pardons for his enablers. But they’d be foolish to assume the next administration will honor them. www.lawyeroyer.com/p/buyer-bewa...

RFK Jr. thanking God for Trump's nomination makes perfect sense. Without it, he'd be stuck poisoning his own food for sport

Actually, Todd Blanche, President Trump has twice stated at campaign rallies that he instructed you to file this suit to help ensure that Dan Sullivan would be reelected. This is one more reason why you are likely to be disbarred after the Disciplinary Committee is acquainted with all the facts.

I knew Amy Acton’s birth creature and pedo enthusiast looked familiar.

The US has its own version of Saddam Hussein.

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

Womp womp.

“Abdul El-Sayed’s middle name is Mohammed… Why doesn’t he share his real name?” “What’s Mike Rogers’ middle name?” “🤷🏼‍♀️”

“Trump's British apologists are finally starting to calculate… their potential reward for supporting this lame duck President in the US is no longer worth the growing cost to their reputations in the UK” Too late, Farage. Too much MAGA money. Too much fawning. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/trumps-apo...

"The past two years are all the proof you need that sitting out an election because the better candidate happens to not be perfectly to your liking is completely stupid and self-destructive."

Such a shady immoral deal. Joel Riddle, who ran the company until he resigned in September, told the Times he was misled into believing the money came from a firm in the United Arab Emirates. "It's not only unlawful, but it's not in the U.S. interest," Riddle said. www.rawstory.com/russia-alask...

Small dick energy.

Oh good, we’ve made it to the “advertising discrete partnerships with the CIA” stage of this goatfuck. I remember when Marco was supposed to be the reasonable one.

Talarico: You want to know why they are spending $200 million against me? Because I don’t take their corporate PAC money and I never will. I don’t work for them. I work for you. When we flip this seat in Texas, I’m going to vote to ban corporate PACs so billionaires can’t buy our elections.

May I refer you to Arkell v. Pressdram? Private Eye is 65. To celebrate, we’re taking a peek behind the curtain to explain where some of the Eye’s lore, columns, and in-jokes originate from.

My exchange with a former top Trump adviser who says it is totally "inappropriate" & "irresponsible" to use the word fascist when talking about Trump. Then I reminded him of his own use of the word. Watch/enjoy/share: (Full 'Head to Head' show with Steve Cortes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLJV...)
