OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

Every eligible voter deserves to have their ballot counted. Election security requires reliable evidence and lawful procedures. Threatening election workers does not make an inaccurate list accurate. Please stay engaged, track your ballot, and don’t let intimidation stop you from voting!

Former presidents are just roasting the hell out of the White House redo today and it’s going to drive Trump absolutely insane

Heads up. A Senate bill being sold as “permitting reform” could seriously weaken protections for our public lands, clean water, historic places, and sacred Tribal sites. S. 5653, the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, would narrow environmental reviews and

Trump claimed he heard Obama's event in Michigan today was empty. Meanwhile, the venue was packed, lines stretched outside, and Obama even addressed an overflow room because everyone couldn't fit inside. Mercado Media

47 is a pedo too, so he sides with pedos. What do we expect from someone with 0 empathy?

The state of Illinois has $125M in contracts with Deloitte Consulting LLP. Deloitte is backing a candidate in Ohio who is siding with a pedophile and his defender, punishing a woman for speaking out about sexual abuse. In Illinois, we’re paying them $16M to advise DCFS. cc: @politico.com

Republicans don’t want students to vote, but please don’t let this stop you from making your voice heard! The Supreme Court today allowed New Hampshire to bar student IDs as identification for the midterm elections, granting the state’s emergency request backed by the Republican National Committee.

That this is a headline shows how low ethical behavior is tolerated, maybe even encouraged. Deliberate incompetence.

Solitary confinement before judgment/the inhumane treatment of Major Watson. Watson’s attorney says he has been held in solitary confinement 24 hours a day since being placed in pretrial confinement in August, including during meals and exercise. vandecraats2025law.substack.com/p/an-oath-to...

Watch this 👀

Oh look, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is exactly as corrupt as we all know he is. “More than $700 MILLION in transfers” — Saudi Arabia & UAE set up a multi-billion dollar slush fund for him. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

A strong woman standing up for another strong woman in the face of an amoral man is a wonderful sight.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Russia was never a hoax

There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.

Two weeks out, Trump's FCC chair is warning TV stations that polls showing Trump & the GOP losing could count as "News Distortion" The First Amendment has no exception for polls the president doesn't like The poll that matters most is Nov 3, & Carr can't keep that one off the air -TN

Think our effort to address the damage done by DOGE Is over? Not at all! We just won summary judgment proving that they abused our data And we are also litigating in fed court on behalf of the countless people they injured at USAID

TENNESSEE VOTERS: Check your ballots carefully. Local news outlets are reporting complaints from early voters who say voting machines displayed candidates they did not intend to select.

Before casting your ballot, review EVERY selection on the screen AND the paper ballot or record. If anything is wrong, stop and notify a poll official immediately. Take the time you need. Your vote matters.

Massive law suit please - include Trump in the suit

Many aircrews in Iran theater just got extended to April 2027. This will be over a year deployment. The damage to retention, and families, will be massive. Especially in the Guard and Reserves. This is not due to the war. It’s due to awful planning by Hegseth

I think we should all report these and more. Let’s make sure they look into all the pay to play schemes this admin is doing, like pardons for a price.

Trump’s own appointees asked the government’s election security agency to secretly hack a voting machine and send the results to the White House. Thankfully, the career staff refused. And the people who actually could have done it had been laid off by DOGE. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Baiting bears with doughnuts and bacon grease, then shooting them at close range. That’s what the Trump administration is bringing back to Alaska’s national preserves.

Brooklyn is FIRED UP about #NoKings and early voting! A massive local march taking the streets down Prospect Park Southwest. Get involved with your local group and help save this democracy 💙 🗳️

Some content back up BUT NO administrative access for No Kings organizers Does Meta not think we are paying attention? Pro-democracy state AG's, legislatures & regulators should be all over investigating this--& so should a new pro-democracy Congress THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS
