here's Sunday's post: "Let’s all watch Barack Obama and Jon Ossoff use Preznit Fuckwit as a chew toy" — They’re so good at this.
thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —
The cover-up continues. First they lied about what we could see with our own eyes & called Alex Pretti & Renee Good ‘domestic terrorists.’ Now they’re back to hiding evidence from MN state investigators.
MN investigators must be given access to ALL evidence. This impunity must end.
BREAKING WaPo:
The Trump admin has not approved the transfer of interceptor missiles to Ukraine that are needed to protect the country from Russian missile and drone attacks — a delay that comes as Trump embraces Russia and slams Ukraine.
Ossoff: "What worries me right now is complacency about this race in Georgia, overconfidence about this race in Georgia. There's no such thing as a landslide victory in the state of Georgia. This remains the crucial battleground state."

YIKES -- Trump loses his shit at a reporter for the third time during this Q&A -- "Wait wait -- Quiet. Quiet!!!! What's wrong with you? Are you a SICK person?"
This is the follow-up to the Susan Collins story. Interestingly, Lindsey Graham got $100K and a $5,000 bottle of Bourbon. Clyburn got $20K and a $100 fruit basket to match Graham's language in the House budget. Clyburn had part of his donation go to the University of South Carolina.
NEW: Lindsay Graham and Jim Clyburn were under FBI investigation for bribery.
Then Trump dismantled the DOJ & FBI public corruption units.
The investigation died.
We unearthed it:

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event
Supercut:
This is the result of 7+ years of Trump's attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social, Somali-Americans, & the Muslim community.
Everyone, regardless of party, must speak out against this fascistic abuse of power.
If they can do this to a sitting Congresswoman, they can & will do it to anyone.
On October 13 in National City, California, Status Coup reporter Tina-Desiree Berg was on the scene after ICE agents followed a man home and forced their way inside his residence—dragging him away as his young daughter watched in distress.
Democracy only works when people participate, and that starts with making voter registration more accessible. That’s why I introduced the ASSURE Act with @mcbride.house.gov to meet people where they are by building voter registration into federal services.
Hegseth eliminated staff who prevent civilian casualties, called the rules of engagement safeguarding civilians 'stupid,' & now he's covering up the report on the Minab school strike that killed over 120 children.
He needs to be removed from office & we need accountability NOW.
NEW: The order to throttle Starlink (Starshield) came from the White House to the Pentagon. I still think Elon was involved, though. He’s currently a Pentagon employee as well www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Attn: The Trump administration has declined to invite independent international observers to monitor the November midterms, breaking a practice dating back to 2002.
While this hearing didn't proceed, it's clear the Trump admin is continuing what a judge has called a "vindictive prosecution" of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
As I said from day 1, if they can do this to Kilmar, they can do it to anyone.
We'll keep fighting this political persecution.
The truth is finally coming out. This is exactly what we were warning about while “Alligator Alcatraz” was still open and MAGA dismissed it. A new report from the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general confirms that immigrants detained at the
Imran Ahmed founded the Center for Countering Digital Hate to hold Big Tech accountable by studying & exposing online hate and uncovering AI chat bots that threaten kids.
Now the Trump admin is threatening to detain & deport him for his work. This cannot stand.
NEW: Bloomberg's editorial board said the Trump White House is "courting a banking crisis."
They describe how Trump's regulators are “reducing supervision and encouraging the kind of leverage that can make failures, contagion and bailouts more likely."
After winning Teacher of the Year award at a conference in TX, UMD Professor Kibret was detained by ICE at the airport.
3 weeks later he’s still in custody.
He’s not the “worst of the worst” & detaining him isn’t making communities safer. He should be released, now.

So yeah. The numbers were as fake as the promise of “dividend” checks.
What wasn’t fake?
The gutting of programs, patriotic Americans put out of work, and countless people around the world who have died as a direct result of this madness.
So much winning.

I’ve heard a lot about airlines colluding with ICE and TSA to inform on migrants. Sickening betrayal. If anyone wonders how Germany got to where it did, it’s because of these kinds of collaborators.
🧊✈️ 👉COLLABORATOR👈‼️🤨
“It was supposed to be a routine work trip to Las Vegas, but a 👉DELTA👈 agent told him the airline was working to upgrade his seat.
“He just needed to board last.”
REMEMBER WHO COLLABORATES
In Nov. 2024, the Chinese govt arrested Dr. Youlin Chen, an American citizen & scientist, on bogus claims of espionage.
Dr. Chen has spent nearly 2 years in pretrial detention & his family is concerned for his health.
I call on the Chinese govt to release Dr. Chen immediately & unconditionally.
Worker productivity is up 92% while hourly pay is up just 34%.
And Fox News thinks young people can’t afford things because they’re lazy? I don't think so.
It's time to unrig our broken economy.
BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked Democrats' proposal to end Donald Trump's IRS sweetheart deal.
This deal gives him FULL IMMUNITY from audits on tax returns he's filed.
It's corruption on steroids.
Earlier this year, leaked video showed dangerous overcrowding at ICE's Baltimore holding facility. It showed dozens of people packed into a tiny room in violation of ICE's own regulations.
I will not stop fighting until we stop these abuses for good.
Just really feeling appreciative today that Donald John Trump rushed the Covid vaccine through and took it himself and told everyone to.
Good job Trump MAKING THE COVID VACCINE
It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.
REPUBLICAN 1: Hey, so our numbers are terrible and no one can afford anything and we’re gonna get crushed in November
REPUBLICAN 2: Yeah. How can we rile up the frothy MAGA idiots?
REPUBLICAN 1: Fauci conspiracies!
REPUBLICAN 2: Great. Let’s subpoena him.
Comical. Joe Biden had no wars during his tenure, but the Trumpy's are blaming Biden because Trumpy is running out of bullets.. Remember when Trumpy kept saying it's Bidens fault?
Literally can't make this crap up.
For no other reason than cruelty, Trump is threatening to deport Haitians who are contributing to the Massachusetts economy.
It's wrong. Congress should reinstate TPS protections, not let Trump rip people out of communities and send them into immediate danger.
In 75% of US industries, fewer corporations control more of the business than 20 years ago.
That's especially true in the food industry.
Just four corporations control 54% of the fresh-cut salad industry, including Taylor Fresh Foods.
We're seeing in real time the danger of monopolization.
