OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

OSSOFF: At a rally, the president egged on supporters who assaulted a woman demanding the release of the Epstein files. Because if you can count on one thing about this White House, it's their tireless commitments to war, inflation, and covering up sex trafficking.
🚨 WOW: In a new video, Trump donor Eric Deters announces a lawsuit against Kimberly Guilfoyle, threatens to depose her and Don Jr., and teases an explosive recording.

IF WE ALL VOTE. 🗳️
#AccountabilityIsComing11/3/26
Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

Susan Collins is showing just how out of touch she is.
“I spent a whole year without health insurance…in ‘94”
That was 3 decades ago, Susan, when insurance was $1500 annually…
Thanks to Susan’s vote that helped pass Trump’s murderous budget bill, premiums are $1500 a month now for some folks.

Bonta: That’s right. The Trump administration has been MIA when it comes to antitrust enforcement.
Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign.
The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers.
Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Trump's arch will harm historic sites:
Federal officials acknowledge that Trump's planned triumphal arch will unavoidably harm historic sites if built as planned — but they say the project must move forward, according to a National Park Service document and emails obtained by The Washington Post.

But this is insane. And they’re lying to the American people.
Federal employees were paid $9.5 billion not to work in 2025 under DOGE.
As part of the Trump-Musk DOGE program to shrink the federal work force, paid administrative leave costs rose by 435%.

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model.
Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.
