Trump said he had to takeover Greenland to keep China and Russia out.
And then he snuck Russia onto the North Slope.
Literally just ... inviting them in.

As someone who publicly came out against Trump 8yrs ago, and ended my career as a Republican by doing so, and have endured hate & threats from the MAGA base these past 8yrs, I have zero sympathy for, and utter disdain for, all 3 of these groups of cowardly former Republican colleagues of mine.👇
BREAKING: A GOP senator asked for anonymity to reveal that "everyone in Congress knows Trump's second term is a disaster," but 1/3 of Republicans are grifting his supporters, 1/3 are afraid of Trump ending their careers, and 1/3 are afraid his cult is a danger to their families.
Wow — 🔥 Neil Bush: “I voted for @jamestalarico.bsky.social… Trump and those who have enabled him have done enormous damage to the Republican Party… Character matters more than party affiliation.”
The political fund-raising pitches I hate the most are the ones that tell me my donation will be matched 4X or 7X or whatever but don't tell me WHO has promised to make those 4X or 7X matches. If there isn't a donor standing behind those "matching" pledges, they are LIES.
Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."
Zelenskyy on Trump: "I hope that he will change his decisions, because I think it's all mistakes. It will not help us and it will not help the United States. But it's not my choice. And I hope he will change his attitude to Putin ... we can't compare me and Putin. He's the aggressor."
Is this your notebook?? It mysteriously appeared in my tote bag. No personal info but the owner seems to live in Brooklyn and is outlining/researching a novel — I’d love to return it to you!
Update: about 4 hours later and we still don't have admin access so we still can't post to the No Kings instagram account.
This isn't slowing down the the 3,000+ early vote events today. We will drive the biggest early vote in history.
But this should be a flashing alarm about what's to come.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: No Kings organizer Ezra Levin SOUNDS ALARM after Meta suspended the movement’s Instagram during nationwide protests.
LEVIN: “We might be seeing something similar from Meta in our country right now.”
“We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime.”
Got home from attending my local No Kings rally (in Bastrop TX) to learn that Zuckerberg's Meta suspended the No Kings Instagram page today. They're obviously terrified of the No Kings movement if they're resorting to these kinds of things to TRY to quash it.
The main message today: GO VOTE!
Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window.
I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦
He didn't send agents after a criminal. He sent them after a Congresswoman who talks back. On the eve of an election.
That's not law enforcement — that's an abuse of power with a badge.
We stand with Ilhan Omar.
Has anybody bothered to ask Trump about the CURRENT STATUS of the reflecting pool. Supposedly repairs were "complete" on Oct 2 and refilling was supposed to begin on Oct 5. Typical refill time is 3 to 5 days. So the pool should be refilled and "back to normal" by now. Is IT? Anybody in DC know?
Now what on earth would cause this particular brand new account to decide to follow me?
Picture of the musk-ox in his bio got him an immediate block from me.

My take from the Smith hearings:
To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people!
Repost if U agree
For MAGA types: Ask yourself just one question before you vote... does the income you have today stretch as far and buy you as much as your income did two years ago? Or, are you having to cut back even more? Do you really want to give the GOP another two years to make things even worse???
And before nonMAGAs beat me up... yes, I know that is a supremely self-centered question. But, let's face it, "self-centered" thinking is probably the very BEST we can hope for from those lost in the MAGAverse. If we could just get them to vote in their OWN best interests, we would ALL benefit!
Anybody else getting slammed with posts from a certain TV news show? I've muted their posts THREE times and they're still showing up in my feed! I don't wanna mention the name b/c that'll probably exacerbate the problem but I'm NOT watching one second of the new "3600 Seconds"
As many as 1.2 million Texas voters have until October 5th to update their registrations and can check their status on the Texas Sec. of State’s website, at a county election office, or by mail.

Rest in Peace Dolly Parton. You made the world a better place with your amazing talent, your warmth and kindness, and your gift of books to millions of children.
Prayer request: I have 45 people coming to my home this coming Saturday afternoon for a house concert. Temperatures are predicted to hit 105 degrees. Y'all, please pray that my Air Conditioner keeps working!
Ug! what is up with the new NYT Connections game board with it's checkerboard design? Anybody else find the bright pink squares utterly distracting? Can we PLEASE go back to all 16 squares the same pale color? PLEASE?
Smuggling POTUS out in a catering truck to avoid Iran trying something is mad. Why would any foreign power that wished America harm want to kill him? Nobody else could possibly do as much damage to the USA as he does.
But I can see why someone like France would lob some missiles at Airforce 1.
This is whole story is horrifying, and as a journalist covering ICE flights, I was struck by this sentence: “We were shipped to Texas overnight from Los Angeles in horrible conditions that I won’t elaborate on in this letter.”
Today in @thenation.com: a harrowing piece written from inside the Dilley ICE detention center by Maryam Tahmasebi, a green card holder who's been locked up along with her husband and son for months despite none of them committing any crime. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
