Living Out Loud

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

Obama points out that values (or lack thereof) are just as big a problem for our civic society as affordability

WTAF?!

The guy who has sided with Vladimir Putin at every turn - over our intelligence agencies, over our military, over our allies - doesn’t get to tell you what it means to be American.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Y’all have been in charge for decades @marshablackburn literally wtf are you talking about

Hopefully people are waking up to the fact that the Maga-aligned AI industry is invested in hijacking, censoring, & manipulating information about the world as they suck up data and privatize it, gaining power over entire populations.

🚨REPUBLICANS HAVE A SENATE PROBLEM. NC: Cooper +14 GA: Ossoff +8.1 NH: Pappas +5.9 OH: Brown +3.1 TX: Talarico +2.7 MI: El-Sayed +2.7 MN: Flanagan +2.2 AK: Peltola +1.4 ME: Jackson +1.2 IA: Turek +0.6 KS: TIED The map is expanding. A Dem Senate majority is within reach. Now let’s finish the job.

🇺🇸 The USA consumes roughly 520,000 tons of diesel fuel DAILY. I repeat, DAILY. 300,000 will cover 14 hours. #Trump is panicking before the midterms.

Trump’s decision to buy billions of dollars of Russian diesel is a gift to Putin. It won’t solve America’s high gas prices, but it will put more money in Putin’s pockets to fund his war against Ukraine. Why does Trump keep siding with dictators instead of democracies?

Ruffalo: We got to get this dumb-ass, fool-ass, tired-ass, lame-ass, duck-ass out of office. We got to make him a lame duck. We have to stop his policies now. Another two years of this, and who knows what he’ll be doing? He’s calling to throw Democrats out of the country…

In light of that Atlantic article going around featuring the traumatized truck driver who hit Pierre Damas Bel, I'll re-up what I wrote a month ago. craigcalcaterra.com/blog/there-i...

Robert De Niro has a message to share. The November is our time to shine at the polls. Fuck those ICE goons and just get there.

Unless Congress reclaims its power, this will just become the new normal. A good first step would be to impeach Vought. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/u...

"The president barred US reporters, while welcoming Chinese reporters who answer to the communist dictatorship in Beijing. This would be the same president who's running government-paid TV advertising vowing to stop the United States from becoming communist..." www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/u...

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

This is about one thing and one thing alone. Steering our research dollars for cancer, heart disease, and new infectious diseases to Trump’s political allies and friends.

There is absolutely zero Communist threat in the United States today. Anyone who tells you there is should be gently escorted to a wheelchair and taken promptly to some sort of hospitalization. What we do have is the gravest *fascist* threat America has ever faced on home soil.

I'm in love.

He’s got a point!

Are we allowed to know where all the money is from the oil we’ve plundered from Venezuela? Where is it? How much is it? Has any of it been spent? Who has profited from it? Can we get a full accounting or is that too much to ask? I realize Republicans in Congress don’t care.

Reminder: voter fraud is not a thing. Voter suppression is.

This isn’t a “sale”. Israel purchases these weapons with a fund created with U.S. taxpayer dollars. Biden/Harris blocked these 2000-pound bombs from going to Israel. Congress can block this “sale.” VOTE. www.nbcwashington.com/news/nationa...

JUST FILED: Trump continues to tout A.I., despite dire warnings Is Kennedy Center on verge of collapse? The emerging race in Kansas Lots of new reporting in my DAY AHEAD macfarlanenews.substack.com/p/day-ahead-...

Washington Litigation Group, which sued to halt Trump's shuttering of Kennedy Center: "This constant effort to add Trump's name to the Kennedy Ctr facade is the definition of insanity. This is now the 3rd attempt to deface this sacred memorial and turn it into a vanity project for one man's ego"

I really don’t think it has set in with most people Gas fertilizer and diesel prices are going to remain high Iran has the upper hand and nothing is going to change that Trump has a lizard brain And he can’t social media post his way out of this His approval rating hasn’t hit bottom yet

Vote early. Election Day is the end of the election, not the beginning. With everything this regime is going to do to suppress our votes, it’s imperative that we leave plenty of time to correct any issues.

The grifts, scams and corruption are endless. I only limited my list of Trump’s most corrupt acts of 2026 to 75 because I ran out of column space. I had well over 100. Here’s another one.

If the American people don’t overwhelmingly reject and repudiate what is happening with this govt, Republican Congress, and Supreme Court this November, then this Republic is doomed. We can survive a criminal regime for a short term, but we can’t survive an ignorant populace.

Rep. Ted Lieu: “Just go fucking vote.”

We’re not changing it.
