🚨New by me: ICE agents shot a man in New York City while he was in his car with his 5-year-old child in the back seat last week. I'm from New York City. My grandfather was an immigrant in NYC. ICE is siphoning taxpayer dollars that should be helping families. www.thequeenzone.com/ice-is-sipho...

Ultra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.

The owner of X is almost single-handedly funding the Republican midterm election campaigns. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick publicly said Trump needed to “break” Ontario Premier Doug Ford and that Canadians should “just say thank you.” Trump regime to Canada, essentially: Stop acting like Ukraine. Accept being scammed and bullied, and just say thank you.

“Every accusation is a confession”

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home. (Published Dec. 2025)

🔥 🇬🇧 SKY NEWS REPORTER @jamesmatthewsky.bsky.social: “Mr. Secretary, are you Vladimir Putin’s puppet on Ukraine? Mr. Secretary, is Vladimir Putin playing you like a fiddle?” (Spoiler: yes)

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

awaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

Maybe I'm not so smart, but I find the argument "We can't stop AI from destroying the world, otherwise we'll lose to China" somehow flawed.

“It looks dangerously like the construction of an internal spying agency...” "It’s also a weapon that the government will likely use against not only undocumented immigrants, but everyone else, too. That includes political enemies, intelligence experts said... prospect.org/2026/10/14/i...

A lie does not become truth because millions believe it. Wrong does not become right because the majority accepts it. And evil does not become good because enough people choose to look the other way. The masses can make evil normal. It can never make it right.

People from across all over North Carolina, many driving hours, to protest the opening of the first ICE detention center in NC. This will be considered one of the largest ice detention centers in the East Coast. ICE has contracted GEO Group, a for profit prison company.

BTW, this is just pure tin-pot dictator shit. There’s no nuance here, no 4D chess. This is purely the stuff of rogue nations that are threatening to become terrorist states.

And a malignant narcissist is a narcissist who ends up trying to destroy everything he hasn’t contributed to and isn’t entitled to. ht: @narceducator.bsky.social

This is why we are on Bluesky. Musk and “sh”itter allows this shit to be posted and spread, unrepentantly. He should be charged as an accomplice in the terrorizing of these victims.

Mike Johnson sent the House home until after the mid terms. They are getting their asses handed to them SO HARD by the court of public opinion they are just giving up.

Why isn’t it obvious that there is a world of difference between antisemitism and genocide in Gaza (/criticism of Israel?)

I’ve always said the rules committee is where Republicans legislation comes to die. Watch Rep Neguse (D-CO) absolutely man handle Rep Steil ((R-WI) on socialism. These Republicans in Congress just aren’t a serious group, vote every last one of them out in November.

It is journalistic malpractice that major news outlets are not producing 5-alarm-fire reports to warn the public that the president of the United States is out of his mind.

$16 million later, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was supposed to be open by July 4. Instead, it looks like this.

Please share how you feel about this truly evil man with any Congressperson who has enabled Israel's crimes against humanity. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I heard a bus full of judges was traveling across America so I got in my car and chased it to Ohio. What I witnessed was extraordinary. Inspired by Poland’s March of a Thousand Robes, retired judges walked through Columbus to stand up for the rule of law. Carlo 🐾 was a fan favorite. Watch:👇

BREAKING: Trump and Gabbard are blocking the release two new reports commissioned by ODNI showing zero vote manipulation in the 2020 election.

US should be clear. Zero support for Israel until men like this are gone from the government.

I realize this is hard to believe, but Meloni says Trump completely made this up.

Any book about Trump that describes him as "unconstrained" or "norm-breaking" is a coverup. Any honest account from "inside the presidency" would report that he is deranged, dysfunctional, flighty, ignorant, bigoted, and a sociopath. The big question it could answer is: Is he lying or is he deluded?

Irish Taoiseach Martin says the ministers have shown 'a desire to see the elimination of Palestinians from Palestine'.

He turns everything he touches into a tacky Vegas casino caricature of itself. He is the very definition of gauche. He is absolutely the worst of America.

So we're calling these guys the "Liquor Cabinet"?

Fire Hegseth

It’s time for Hegseth to go.

Nearly a dozen senators issue Hegseth short deadline to answer for 'troubling allegations' www.rawstory.com/pete-hegseth...

I signed, please sign --even if we're just blowin' in the wind, at least we tried: sign.moveon.org/petitions/st...

I recall being told yesterday that it would never close again.

They told the Pope he doesn’t understand the Bible and then they quoted Pulp Fiction.

If you think someone quoting a made up Bible verse understands what he’s doing in the Persian Gulf, think again, says former Navy Commander and MeidasTouch Host Bobby Jones.

best thing I am learning from Mamdani is to stay cheerful and keep going. Rage is tempting but it slows you down

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

The FBI Director's security detail requested a SWAT battering ram because he was passed out drunk and unresponsive behind locked doors. How does this man still have a job???

24 hours ago: Trump says Iran will never close Hormuz. Today: Iran closes it and fires on ships. Add in Vance celebrating defunding Ukraine—and yeah, it’s a mess. I break it all down in this week’s review 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsI_...

Can’t tell you how many high level DC insiders have said to me in past two days they don’t believe anything WH says unless it is confirmed by Iran. And the smart ones want confirmation by Iranian actions not just words. Trump credibility even among GOPers is zero. Less than that.

Straight up milking the market

“He cheated on the golf course. He cheated on his taxes. He cheated on his wives. He cheated the business contractors he stiffed. He tried to cheat in the 2020 election. And now he’s trying to cheat on the 2026 midterms - because he knows he can’t win.”
