"[Donald Trump] has got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory." --Barack Obama

"Lord, we pray that you lift up Ken Paxton, a serial adulterer who constantly bears false witness, covets material things-- like houses--and disgraces your holy name with his shameless corruption, so that we may continue not to pay taxes and hate all the same people he does. Glory!"

Seems like the Trump White House agrees with everyone who says the Trump White House had committed countless crimes

This is why it's dangerous to give rich people so much power over our lives. Sometimes, they are appallingly ignorant. The Nazis added the word "socialist" to their name purely as propaganda to appeal more to workers. But the party--and Hitler--hated real socialists and communists.

Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

I love Canada! 👇

Yesssssss!

Pretty sure this woman has at least *one* wicked man in her life who needs to be crushed, but it isn't James Talarico.

This is such a stupid thing to say. Because if it were true, we wouldn't need a Constitution and Bill of Rights written by humans. And every country would have had the same Constitution and Bill of Rights from the beginning of time.

This fake Christian grifter funnels off over $700,000 from just *one* of his many "charities." And he pays no taxes--because he's a "Christian" who doesn't delve into politics. TAX THE CHURCHES.

Live by the $38 billion government handout, die by the $38 billion government handout, you meddlesome dork.

Terrifying.

Good.

It's time to defund Elon. robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

This is capitalist propaganda. Billionaires don't care about employees; they care about profits. Which is why they are far more likely to use cash on hand to buy back stock than hire more employees or give the employees already there a raise. This is just "Trickle Down Economics" in corporate drag.

Outstanding. More of this, please. Elon Musk is a white nationalist troll using the billions he made off government contracts to destroy this nation. Light. Him. Up.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Truth 👇

What fresh hell?! The Trump administration is trying to cheat from every angle. Trump’s political appointees at DHS wanted federal cybersecurity officials to secretly obtain a voting machine, attempt to hack it, and send their findings to the White House.

First, Thomas Teepell is not a voter. He lives in a different state. He was a political plant. Or, if you will, a paid protester. He is an agitator. Second, Abul El-Sayed responded with more patience than most people could muster. Calling him an angry, overly defensive jerk is you projecting.

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

This Defector article is one of the best pieces of sports journalism I've ever read. Let's have a thread about some of the best bits + my (probably suspect and valueless) thoughts.

From 2025: How the Japanese-American basketball leagues built Natalie Nakase defector.com/how-the-japa...

REPUBLICANS: "Y'all can't vote for James Talarico cause he sounds a bit gay!!!!" DONALD TRUMP:

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.

Friends — It's time to defund Elon Musk. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

The Valkyries’ visionaries: 3 women who built a Finals team from scratch in 2 years. Jess Smith, Ohemaa Nyanin, and Natalie Nakase barely knew each other before embarking on a journey to the top of the WNBA sfstandard.com/2026/10/16/g...

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

This is really going to win over all the many voters who don't ever notice if their children are home for 3 or 4 days.

Elon Musk is pouring millions into Republican Senate races, including efforts to help Ken Paxton in Texas, where Musk has major business interests. One billionaire with enough money to influence an election. How? Citizens United made this possible. Reminder Tomorrow: N🚫 Kings #VoteEarlyOnNoKings

The blame for having an incompetent press secretary rests solely with Donald Trump, not Katie Zacharia. She can’t help that she’s incompetent, *he* chose to appoint her anyway. Just like he chose to appoint incompetent Pete Hegseth and incompetent RFK Jr.

JD VANCE CALLING ABDUL EL-SAYED A WEASEL IS RICH THE REINVENTION TOUR 🤡 Born James Donald Bowman, changed his name twice 🤡 Compared Trump to Hitler, then became his VP 🤡 Called Trump a “moral disaster,” now kisses his ass 🤡 Admitted he was willing to “create stories” to get media attention

Ugh. This is so damn painful.

THE REFLECTING POOL REPORT‼️ The $14.7 MILLION renovation: 📌 85 liner failures 📌 8 of 10 expansion joints buckled 📌 40 locations blistered or peeled 📌 Refilled after ONE DAY, not the recommended 72 hours Prosecutors later acknowledged contractor errors. Charges dropped.

So we are clear, "Russia Russia Russia" was *never* a hoax.

In 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Since then, "He has changed his mind about abortion and crypto, he has supported different political parties, but his dislike of America’s democratic allies and his preference for Russia have remained remarkably consistent." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Looking forward to the same scrutiny being impartially applied to Elon Musk and Melania Trump, whose immigration documents are much much worse than anything alleged about Omar's father

This lady speaks for all of us. 💙🇺🇸

ICE has to be dismantled, with every single incident like this investigated and prosecuted.

We love Susan! 💚💚💚 Not all hero’s wear capes some wear Primus shirts!

The Art of the Deal, folks. Donald is such an idiot.
