Is Trump a Russian asset? At this point this much is clear: if he were a Russian asset, he would be doing exactly what Trump is doing now. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10...

Inject this into my veins.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

July 31: Russia is sharing intelligence with Iran to launch assaults on US troops October 9: Trump is doing a diesel deal with Russia (which can now use that money to provide intelligence to Iran in launching assaults on US troops)

As I've said before: On January 20, 2029, every ICE agent hired in the prior 4 years should be immediately fired. Any who think they're one of the good ones can reapply and try to prove they aren't the last kind of people we want given a gun and a badge.

Maybe should be bigger news? Including Trump defending the Iran War as a "small price to pay?" people.com/trump-sugges...

I thought Trump’s tariffs were specifically designed to dramatically reduce this number to zero.

NEW: In 2020, a pharma CEO’s relatives donated to Susan Collins. That company got a $4.5M contract from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Collins was on the Appropriations subcommittee. …The company went on to pay $47M to settle claims it defrauded US health programs. @andrewperez.bsky.social:

The corrupt gangsters running this government violate the law daily and use government funds for partisan politics to bribe voters in violation of the law. Trump has been emboldened by a rogue Supreme Court which has given him immunity and taken a blowtorch to the Constitution.

Holy shit.

Eric Schmitt is what happens when a state becomes so red that you don’t need to be a talented politician to become a US Senator. And to be fair, there are examples of this in blue states too. Iron sharpens iron.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

Trump: Sleepy Joe Biden, have you heard of him? *a few moments later* Trump: 😴😴😴

In a private discussion today this came up: “We need the January 6th Commission hearings, for DOGE.” One could do a lot with NIH and NSF alone. There are clinical trials that ended, patients that died, young people leaving the US… and bad stuff that happened inside the agencies.

Exactly. As he becomes more deranged and politically weaker, he will become more desperate and more dangerous.

I can't wait to hear Matty Taibbi wail about censorship.

So yet again Rusty asks for a way to deal with the pain Trump is causing instead of speaking out against the cause of the pain — Trump’s war.

lol holy shit I wouldn't talk about literally anything else if I was the guy running against him. —"What do you think about trans kids in sp-" —"Did you hear my opponent had his patient, who was 8 months pregnant, arrested in front of her son because she didn't pay a $50 medical bill?"

Republicans are REFUSING to fulfill their duty to conduct oversight of this out of control agency. If Republicans won't stand up for citizens being brutalized by ICE, Oversight Dems will. Expect more when Dems are in the majority.

"About five million people in the country have already lost SNAP benefits — the government’s primary anti-hunger tool — because of the Trump/GOP bill... One retiree in Ohio described SNAP benefits as a 'lifeline.' Her benefits dropped in March from $250 to $44" www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/u...

It should be painfully obvious to everyone by now that Republicans don’t want to talk about the terrible economy, affordability or their latest war.

Iowa - Donald Trump Approval Polling: ⚫️Disapprove: 58% 🟢Approve: 41% Marist / Sept 20, 2026

NEW Marist poll — Iowa Senate race: (D) Josh Turek 50% (R) Ashley Hinson 42% Wow

Sad excuse for journalism: Big profile of DOGE lord doesn’t say a word about all the damage he did. And it was not an “ill fated cost-cutting effort.” It was a malignant, catastrophic attack on the government and its workers by arrogant and ignorant assholes. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Any news organization that broadcasts the DHS version of events without a tremendous disclaimer is doing their audience a terrible disservice. presswatchers.org/2025/11/dhss...

We’re being run by an unhinged, corrupt egomaniac who thinks he’s a king and has no use for the constitution. And most of the media still just covers it like it’s normal.

oh dear the soy boy apocalypse is upon us

Democratic strategists: Ahhh! What's the right message!!?? Where do we moderate!?!? Jon Ossoff: This administration is horrible. I hate these people. We should put them in jail. I'm pissed Voters: This guy is cool Strategists: I can't figure it out!!!!!

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting." Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

Mike Rogers refuses to talk about gas, groceries, seeing a doctor, or our broken infrastructure. Mike Rogers only wants to talk about old culture wars fought by small people with smaller ideas and no solutions to our actual problems.

So we can probably assume, despite Trump banning multiple media companies from the WH, that the WH Correspondents dinner with Trump will still happen next year because the show must go on.

8 months ago.

Editor: I'd like a story that combines Americans' hatred of artificial intelligence, their fears about the environment, their antipathy toward data centers, and their angst over inflation driven by dwindling fuel supplies. Reporter: Got ya covered, boss. Need anything else?

The press treats Hasan Piker like he's running for office and Brandon Herrera like he's just a podcaster.

our experiment with putting the dumbest fucking people in charge is unfolding with soul-crushing predictability

Seems worth remembering the claim Scott Jennings actually made👇🏽🤔 Can we please all agree to not let him act like he has somehow been vindicated? Mitch can barely blink, let alone have this conversation.

Musk is already underwater in polls and if Democrats lean in they can make him even more toxic. He's declared open war on you all and is pushing a toxic, destructive, racist agenda. Maybe it's time to push back? I don't know, I'm just spitballing here.

Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

Trump’s comments today would be a particularly good news peg for @peterbakernyt.bsky.social and his ilk to write about concerns that Trump is a complete idiot.

That 20 minute conversation with the CNN guy two months ago must’ve been a real barnburner.

Nailed it as always, sir

We tried that, then this guy’s dad tried to kill you and all of your colleagues on January 6th. Grow up.

On the same day Ted Cruz gets roundly booed by Texas fans, Abdul El-Sayed has Michigan fans running over to shake his hand. Please tell us more about who's popular with Real Americans™

I remain convinced that the most effective response to a politician or a pundit who's pushing transphobia is "I'm not sure why you're obsessed with other people's genitals but it's really creepy"

IT SHOULD BE A BIGGER STORY THAT THE US PRESIDENT ACTUALLY TRIED TO BRIBE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ON LIVE TV 🙄 IN A NATION OF LAWS HE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRAGGED OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE IN HANDCUFFS 🤬

It took four reporters at the Financial Times to put this Trump campaign press release together and none of them could bother to note that this proposal is wildly illegal.

The reason why they think their voters are this dumb and gullible is because they are.
