Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

Jenrick has set out how Reform would maximise our “Brexit freedoms”. And this is their list. This is the very best they can come up with. “Re-legalise imperial units” It’s truly pathetic that this is the pinnacle of their Brexit fever dream. And that anyone would still back this ruinous idiocy…

A week from tomorrow is the beginning of the END of the Orange Atrocity! 🍊 💩 #voteVoteVOTE

NEW: The group behind Cornel West's 2024 ballot push was wholly funded through Elon Musk's dark money network, according to Sludge's review of tax documents. readsludge.com/2026/10/26/m...

House Judiciary Democrats have released a 50-page report examining Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, including accounts involving 11 women and a new rape allegation that the White House denies. With just 8 days until the midterms, the report is raising explosive new questions.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

Absolutely 💯 Agree…..

50 years ago, maybe even 25 years ago, it would be totally disqualifying using the vocabulary Trump, Musk, Vance, Hegseth, REP in general is using, but in 2026 too many voters don’t care at all. The population in western “democracies” have no decency or human respect left 😢 It’s a moral downfall !

His nickname is Traitor Trump!

Raskin: “Donald Trump, he's now out of the closet. I mean, he's absolutely a collaborator with Vladimir Putin and Erdogan and, you know, the other despots of the world against democracy and human rights.”

Or both

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

The story is the opposition party has a historic chance to transform the country. That's the story. The opposition party has to understand what to do when it wins - transform the country, take on corruption, get the money out of politics - @timothysnyder.bsky.social w/ @jimacosta.bsky.social 1/

Let’s eradicate our life support systems – that’ll teach the liberals! It's not just about giving destructive industries what they want, important as this is. The likes of Trump and Bolsonaro will kill the planet out of a vengeful desire to hurt. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Someone opened the freak box and look at what crawled out 🤮

Brett Meiselas: This is why you don’t put a criminal into office in the first place. This is why we arrest criminals. This is why they go to prison, so that they can’t commit more crimes. Instead, we put a fraudster into office. What do you think he’s going to do? He’s going to commit fraud.

Couldn't Trump's doctors Institutionalize him? Or couldn't one of them go public? On behalf of mankind? Risk everything (and btw become Psychology Jesus and an instant World Hero forever and make billions from a grateful planet?) This all-new Countdown Podcast dropping at midnight eastern

Very evil stuff

A few months into President Donald Trump’s second term, political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security made an unusual request of its agency focused on cybersecurity: Secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it. 😳

Aiding and abetting the enemy is...(checks notes)...called treason. Causing innocent civilians to be killed is...(checks notes)...called crimes against humanity and a war crime. Seriously, what the fuck is being done in our name, with our money?

The buffoon in the White House is a Russian Asset and Does Not work for the American people!

USA won the Cold War but Putin kept fighting the Cold War then Trump surrendered.

Who tf is going to buy an acrobatic car from a Nazi that can’t even make rockets fly consistently.

"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales Americans told themselves like ghost stories... "But this alliance now exists." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

A baby in a stroller in a park in Ukraine today was killed by one of Putin’s bombs. The blood of that baby is on the hands of Putin and Donald Trump, who is actively helping Putin kill Ukranian civilians. Today’s show.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

this fucking ghoul has the gall to come out and say that shooting a 1 year old because his mother was accused of stealing fucking diapers was justified. murdering a god damn fucking baby is justified as long as they’re Black and you believe poor.

This one-year-old girl was killed today in Ukraine by a Russian drone while walking with her mum in a park near a playground. Other children were injured. The world must do everything to stop Putin, a murderer and war criminal, not strike deals with him. Murderers don’t stop of their own accord.

The idea that it's just a few bad apples in Reform is such bollocks. You get every impression that the whole fucking orchard needs to be condemned.

ITV footage shows racist, sexual, violent rhetoric among Reform members. These lunatics say “King Charles is a f***ing Muslim… " and want him to be beheaded. They want concentration camps for migrants, violence against minorities. Return of the Nazis, 100 years after the Cable Street resistance.
