What's a little suffering as long as trump gets rich?
NEWS: A new report reveals Trump’s personal oil and gas holdings have nearly doubled in value, now worth as much as $81.6 million compared to as much as $46 million last year. The President is profiting off Americans' suffering. And he couldn't be prouder.

The next time you complain about the endless deluge of fundraising texts & spam email from Dem campaigns, keep in mind that it would take *40,000* $25 donations to cancel out 1/445th of what Elon Musk has spent this cycle.
NEW, from Bloomberg News: “Elon Musk has now given more than $445 million in the current election cycle.”

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
Thanks @wgntv.com and Tahman Bradley for that clip on what a clueless, useless trumptoady the GOP candidate for the Senate is. "IL gas prices are high because of state taxes" TB: "That's not a US/Senate issue." "Well, uh if you add in inflation, it was higher with Biden." I'm voting for Stratton.
I don't bother listening to many videos on Bluesky, but this made me so happy.
When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Good to see that the assassination of Melissa Hortman & her husband Mark, followed by the government murders of Alex Pretti & Renee Good, have convinced Minnesota Republicans to stop using dangerous rhetoric that could incite violence.
Tom Emmer refers to Somali-Americans as "enemy combatants" and says they should be "rounded up and put in jail"
Who’s in charge of FEMA these days? Do they even exist anymore?

How did I miss this? (re: presidential library) "I don't believe in building libraries or museums," Trump said. "But it's most likely going to be a hotel with a beautiful building underneath and a 747 Air Force One in the lobby." www.npr.org/2026/10/06/n...
