Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

TRAVERSE CITY. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 10.

Just a reminder that the few remaining experts at the CDC's food-borne illness division identified Taylor Farms as the source of the cyclospora outbreak very early on, but because the owner of Taylor Farms is a big Trump donor, he was able to prevent a recall for weeks as thousands fell ill.

Mike Rogers is a corporate sellout who moves back to Michigan every few years to run for office to take another swing at the revolving door of corporate politics.

When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible. When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit. When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power. When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.

Susan Collins has been lying to us for almost 30 years.

Talarico: "I am extending an open hand to all of our neighbors who supported the president in the last election and inviting them to join this movement we are building across the state"

I'm reading this about the USA and know it's #fascism.

Safe to say the people of Kentucky are not being represented properly

Imagine a Vice President of the United States getting a fact-check Community Note that the heckler was right and you are lying. These people just can’t stop lying.

I will follow up with more details...

Here is AOC and Mamdani laughing at the solemn 9/11 commemoration. Oh wait…

No election fraud to be seen here.

Stop stop stop treating this $5k check thing like it’s real. It’s just…not.

For decades, reporters have treated hours-long voting lines as a “normal” feature of Election Day instead of investigating why some Americans consistently face greater barriers to the ballot… hartmannreport.com/p/has-the-me...

I’ve been a member of five labor unions in my life. I’ve seen firsthand what working people can accomplish when we stand together. The rights and protections workers have today weren’t handed to us. Generations of workers and organizers fought for them, stood their ground, & refused to back down.

Imagine if every story abt DHS' hunt for election fraud included, as boilerplate, "instances of INDIVIDUAL voter fraud are rare, but Donald Trump was charged w/election fraud in 2023, Elon Musk is being sued for election fraud, & GA says Musk broke election law." edition.cnn.com/2026/08/31/p...

Troy Jackson, Dem Senate Candidate for Maine, enters to raucous applause for his first town hall in Lewiston tonight. He's a fifth-generation logger, lifelong fighter for workers' rights, and former Maine Senate President who's ready to unseat Susan Collins once and for all.

For the first time in US history, America betrays South Korea, one of our closest allies for over 75 years. These exercises in various forms have taken place every year since 1974.

SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏

Oh dear, another strongly worded letter.... "...the project is expected to move forward as originally planned."

Susan Collins voted against impeaching Trump because she said he "learned his lesson". She voted to confirm SCOTUS justices who lied about their stances on protecting a woman's right to control her body. By the time Collins figures out what she's done, Maine will be the capital of Gilead.
