“I agree!” shouted James Donald Bowman, James David Hamel, JD Vance, Rafael Cruz, Kashyap Pramod Patel, Nimrata Randhawa, Piyush ‘Bobby’ Jindal, Anna Paulina Mayerhofer-Gamberzky-Luna, and Richard Lynn Myers (Rick Scott) to Donald J. Drumpf.

If you haven’t yet had a chance to see or read Barack Obama’s speech in Cleveland Saturday night, please do both. And then share it as widely as you can. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/wise-and-important-words

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

Robert's Right ✅️.......

The energy level is SO HIGH. The HIGHEST you have ever seen, no where has there been a HIGHER level of energy. zzz

Trumpf interferes with elections in multiple countries.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Amazing! The trumpf administration and doj must think that Alaskans are stupid and that the will get confused.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

This is Mike Rogers’ lifestyle. How about yours?

Vivek is an a** h*le.

Can’t say he “admitted” that he had not spoken to musk. “Claimed” would be a better description.

And to make $300M is not really even work. It’s from investments.

Elon Musk says Italians should stay in Italy and the Japanese in Japan. Then why is this South African in America?

🚨SENATE BLUE WAVE ALERT: Nate Silver’s model now gives Democrats roughly a 75% chance of winning the Senate — with the current polling map pointing to a possible 54–46 Democratic majority. Even a 2-point polling miss still leaves Democrats ahead, 52–48. Keep pushing. Vote. Volunteer. Donate.

THIS 👇 TOO......

Newsom: "Trump is ruthless. I'm sorry -- we need to be a little more ruthless. And if you think I'm exaggerating, I woke up this morning & read Trump wants to arrest me. He said on Truth Social. He's not screwing around. He's trying to quite literally rig the election again today in the state of CA"

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.

“I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, Katie, but here's the thing. Mr. Musk has done this before.” Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling tells Katie Phang that Musk previously shut down Starshield because he disagreed with Zelenskyy, then connects that allegation to Trump's latest ceasefire demands.

Check with trumpf. He may have renamed the strait and is now calling some other water way the “Strait of Hormuz”

The Washington Post reviewed a Heritage Foundation database of voter fraud cases and found 85 cases relating to allegations of noncitizens voting between 2002 and 2023. 85…over TWO DECADES. This entire administration is built on lies.

Elon cut off Starlink to Ukraine because they blew up his Russian bots and so now his posts don’t get enough likes? Do I have that right?

Donald Trump is notorious for suing people for defamation. And yet he has never sued anyone for defamation who accused him of being a pedophile. Trump is notorious for never letting go of a grudge. And yet he never mentions the men who supposedly tried to assassinate him. He'll never admit why.

Here’s a message for the naysayers that are complaining about what is — and isn’t — happening in my case against AG Todd Blanche: I AM NOT SURRENDERING. I know the value of my work and I know what it means to be fighting for truth and accountability. I know what this case means for the survivors.

If the disruption really is some kind of political intervention, this is only further proof that Europeans—or anyone in the world—can’t rely on any of Musk’s products, as they will be at the whims of the technocrat that still finds himself at Trump’s beck and call. newrepublic.com/post/216600/...

The White House is hiding a report about your taxes until after you vote. Each year the IRS publishes data on what people at every income level deducted and owed. This version is the first look at the GOP tax law from 2025. It was expected in July. It’s October. Full story at link in comments ⬇️

You have to appreciate the fact that these idiots always make these comments and never realize the context and facts.

NEW: A Republican congressman is sounding off on Trump, calling him a Putin “apologist” and accusing Trump of being played by Putin “like never seen before.” Now he's threatening to kill Trump's legislative agenda.

Just imagine the back room discussions with his fellow republicans about all the talking points and comebacks. Whitney excuses and deflection points.

Elon Musk is despicable. Because he is a crazy white supremacist, he killed hundreds of thousands of people in Africa by having his DOGE teens cut aid for food and medicine. And because he is a crazy authoritarian, he has now killed Ukrainians by hindering their ability to anticipate air strikes.

RepubliKKKan Hypocrites.......

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

Democrats will have their hands full if they take back control of Congress. @timothysnyder.bsky.social argues that there’s one issue they must take on first — or else they’re handing Trump a massive gift.
