🚨 A Brazilian Supreme Court justice has ordered an investigation into JD Vance’s billionaire donor network over alleged efforts to assist Flávio Bolsonaro’s failed presidential campaign. The Rockbridge Network has ties to Peter Thiel, Rebekah Mercer, and other powerful MAGA donors.

WOW: It's clear CBS (Bari Weiss) and META do not want Angie Nixon in the US Senate. First CBS News ran a segment that edited her response on Cuba to make it misleading. They had to correct it. Now META bars one of Angie's IG accounts days before the election. C'mon Florida: Vote for Angie!

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Czech President Petr Pavel says a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine was “quite close” – until Donald Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel. 🔗 vist.ly/5pjp8

Mark Carney on Elon Musk crippling Ukraine’s Starlink: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision… against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression."

"Meta is interfering in Brazil’s elections in plain sight—boosting Bolsonaro and suppressing Lula content."

Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

If this were an immigrant or Muslim it would make national headlines. Because it's a Nazi you're probably just now hearing about it.

Troy Jackson to Susan Collins: "I don't have Donald Trump getting me out of investigations like you do"

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer bots. It’s pretty clear where those bots were."

POLITICAL RETRIBUTION Federal agents raided Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s DC home this morning. A sitting member of Congress who has repeatedly been targeted by Trump, now facing a federal investigation over immigration paperwork her father completed when she was a child. A CHILD.

Just thinking about this as the state harasses Ilhan Omar over 40 year old paperwork.

what an asshole

They took our tax dough for bunkers and flying palaces, nothing left for regulars. High tax or tariff, life or death to live in the USA.

Again, you can always detect some faint embarrassment from Democrats when they talk about the ballroom, but “the president demolished a big part of the White House to build himself a palace with bribes from enemy powers” is, by an order of magnitude, the worst corruption scandal in US history

Guys, I made the TIME100 Next list (?????????)

Former special counsel Robert Mueller was asked if Russia is still interfering in our elections. He responded “They’re doing it as we sit here” during his 2019 congressional testimony.

On 9/11, the people of Gander stepped up. They showed the very best of Canada.

10 years ago, the NBA announced it would relocate its All-Star game out of North Carolina in protest against the state's transphobic "Bathroom Bill" (which accompanied other anti-LGBTQ laws) and now, thanks in enormous part to The New York Times, it's hard to find a Dem who will defend trans people

i am finishing up the book REGIME CHANGE and the only real takeaway from it should be that the president is legitimately delusional and that the entire White House is structured to feed and defer to his delusions

BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel says his interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico will NOT air on ABC due to threats from Trump’s FCC. The interview will instead be posted to YouTube.

🚨 THIS IS BAD! 🚨 Palantir’s stated goal is to disrupt democracy by getting control of the systems in the name of technofascism. Their MO is wedging people into positions of power then shoehorning themselves into critical infrastructure. Now they control the grid. www.ft.com/content/f6a2...

1 year ago, a FL judge tried to strip me of my law license for criticizing his ruling that kept a US citizen locked in jail for entering the state as an "unauthorized alien". The VA State Bar ruled in my favor. Twice. The attacks on my license haven't stopped. Read the full story.

Suddenly due process matters.

Good thing we dismantled the NSC and CISA! www.reuters.com/world/china/...

There is no rational reason for supporting Trump at this point. His policies have tanked the economy and national debt is $40 trillion. Iran controls the strait. 3 million Epstein docs withheld. He is fighting with our allies and sucking up to dictators. Not to mention Trump is a felon and rapist.

CBS Miami got the actual grand jury report implicating Ashely Moody and Ron DeSantis in stealing Medicaid funds to put into political campaign. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/g...

DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive Chicago apartment raid was prompted by intel on a Venezuelan gang takeover. Records reveal the real story behind the raid: targeting alleged squatters with the landlord’s blessing. 👂 Listen to the full episode:

Wanna know something I think would be crazy? It would be crazy if XX-XY Athletics, the apparel firm stoking outrage against the WNBA, had a secret, Koch brothers-aligned, oil rich family fortune behind it. But that would be crazy, right??? www.foiaball.com/p/xx-xy-athl...

If this enrages you, it should. And you’re not alone. The 19-year-old sailor who jumped off the USS Abraham Lincoln is facing disciplinary charges instead of receiving the mental health services he needs. 👀

We all saw ICE treat Jake Lang as a dignitary, but now we get word that a (sympathetic???) cop in the Minneapolis PD was working with Lang, AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY, helping to coordinate his team. And now we can't press charges... www.startribune.com/jake-lang-no...

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

"I was not shocked that he helped somebody. My shock is that he was murdered. And no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable. And it's been 7 months! ... there was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice" -- Alex Pretti's parents

Dolly Parton was universally loved because she was a rich person who knew what it was like to be poor, stayed down to earth, and spent her life giving back to others who were less fortunate. The oligarchs who don’t understand why everyone hates them probably won’t learn from this. But they should

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️
