There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

I've been using our great fall weather to make improvements to the motorhome. Belts, hoses, brakes, shocks, new heater core, spark plugs and more. It needed 6 tires. Things could still break but now I can go on a road trip knowing I've done all I can to prevent a breakdown.

Believe this. This will be a major dumbing down of America if people continue to just use and trust AI.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

People: "Burning fossil fuels has caused dangerous global warming that's killing us. Maybe technology can help save the planet." Technology: "We're building data centers that use all your water and have their own fossil fuel power plants to take your jobs and make us rich. Why do you hate us?"

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

On a rotating basis, one reporter from the WH Press Corp should be assigned to ask one rage-inducing question of Trump every day. The more rage-inducing, the better.

They clearly know that what they're doing is illegal. Guilty MFers.

"Trump administration officials are lawyering up. From cabinet secretaries to midlevel staffers, people who work for Trump are calling law firms as they brace for an avalanche of investigations next year if Democrats take one or both houses of Congress in the midterms." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Florida needs this woman! Any state would benefit having Angie Nixon as their Senator! Know anyone in Florida? Talk her up to them. She’s great! FLORIDA, GET OUT & VOTE!

Peter roomed across the hall from me in our college dorm. We became friends and he invited me to his house to celebrate Passover.

If your local sheriff's office will follow federal orders to arrest undocumented immigrants, what if the federal government decides you are "breaking the law"?

We pay taxes. The government then gives our money to businesses in "contracts". Businesses give our tax money to politicians. Politicians then pass laws to exempt businesses from paying taxes. See how that works?

I just heard NPR reporter Miles Parks say that Trump has a history of lying about undocumented immigrants voting. He used the word "lie" when describing Trump's words. This is the kind of reporting we need more of.

Someone beating JD Vance's pussy ass into the ground would be the biggest favor he could get. He should be thankful for it too.

JD Vance calls El-Sayed "a little weasel who should shut his mouth and show a little gratitude"

Don't know when but at some point the cult will rupture. The people closest to Trump, who know, will start spilling the secrets. His health, his decisions, his dementia, his relationships with Melania and his kids, and yes, his child rape. All will be revealed. It's the beginning of the end.

This is fantastic -- Mark is a hero of American journalism

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

Watchdog group @citizensforethics.org files legal challenge, asking court to block Jared Kushner from serving as Trump envoy They allege he's “breaking the law by acting as one of the country’s top diplomats without undergoing Senate confirmation or filing financial disclosures.”

Here come the ARM loans. “.. Adjustable-rate mortgages accounted for 10.5% of mortgage applications for week ended Oct. 9, the largest share in a year, reflecting affordability concerns and  higher borrowing costs ..” - Schwab

She thinks if she just says she passed the bar in China no one will be able to verify it. This is toddler thinking.

Q: “How do you think Katie did?” TRUMP: “I thought she did great.”😬 Q: “She’s a lawyer? Where’d she pass the bar?” KATIE: “China.” 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🤥

Good reporting on opposition to data centers in Ohio.

Dan Gearino@dangearino.bsky.social

If you're looking for a "why" to explain much of what's happening in political races, I encourage you to spend a few minutes looking at Ohio. I spent weeks digging into how data center opposition has become bigger than partisanship, and wrote this story: insideclimatenews.org/news/1310202...

I know almost nothing about business but I think the boards of Tesla, SpaceX, etc. can just remove Musk from the board. He might be a majority shareholder but I think they could do that if they wanted to.
