The public will to accountability is snowballing. If Democrats harness that energy, nothing can stop us. There's a real possibility that Republicans who want a political future in a post-Trump world will vote to impeach and remove. We really can get to 67.

Citizens' Impeachment@citizensimpeachment.com

The opposite of "wait him out" is NOT "try to check him" It is "do everything possible to impeach, convict, and REMOVE the fascist criminal from power as soon as possible" "try to check him" is just another version of "let him stay in power and continue to wreak massive pain and destruction"

Pete Hegseth wanted Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke it because they refused to wait for a team of specialist historians to move it.

They're doing this to churches. "The Homeland Security Department “surveils, covertly infiltrates and interrogates the staff of nonprofits and churches conducting voter engagement”... www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/u...

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.

Hi Alice, sadly your question will never be answered truthfully by these #ALP pissants.

On the 25th of September Anthony Albanese said this to an audience in New York; “Mr President, a safer world is one governed by rules, not power and force alone” I’d like him to then explain why he’s unquestioningly subservient to these two rogue nations, and why we treat them like allies? #auspol

Hey @albomp.bsky.social - this is getting confusing. Time to tell the Australian people whose side we are supposed to be on: Ukraine's? Or Trump & Putin's? And then explain how having dozens of US bases on Australian soil - or Australian military bases controlled by the US - makes us more secure?

This design appears to completely eliminate the much-beloved loop road and public park at Hains Point, and cut down the cherry trees which line the road. The park is a public space used by tens of thousands of Washingtonians and heavily visited by tourists. /photos not my own.

The map posted by Trump this morning versus the blurred image on his desk in Katie Zacharia's post. (The White House responded to questions about whether the blurred image was a map of East Potomac by spewing invective.)

NBC News poll: 71% of U.S. adults think the country is on the wrong track. For the first time in Trump's second term, 'right track' has sunk into the 20s. Trump's approval is just 76% with Republican adults. His approval is 21% with independents.

The political class has turned Australia into a nothingburger, run by a secretive cabal that urges its citizens to ignore blatant double standards by keeping the temperature down & to not upset the apple cart of outrageous foreign interference. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic... Vote Greens

thenewdaily.com.auDouble standards from supermarkets to a convenient 'shrug emoji'One reason these double standards are accepted is because the political class refuses to acknowledge them and there is little pushback.
