Are any of Republicans responding to this from their fainting couches today?

OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

why aren't we asking the "Christian" politicians if they denounce the KKK?

There are more measles cases in the US than trans athletes. We need to sort out our priorities.

The Trump administration has signed an oil deal with a Venezuelan energy baron who has faced money-laundering investigations in three countries. ProPublica reviewed a copy of the 18-page agreement.

The Trump administration and the Venezuelan government have struck a deal to exploit Venezuela’s oil—but their partnership is good for the rich and no one else, @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu reports. theatln.tc/PANSlDZN

A strong El Niño that's pushing up food prices and fueling wildfires could make 2026 the hottest year ever recorded, scientists say.

I remember when media did a whole bunch of stories about Joe Biden’s shoes to emphasize that he was old. But Trump can randomly blurt out random noises, fall asleep constantly in meetings, and walk like a drunk failing a sobriety test, and we get almost nothing.

Trump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."

Attorney General Todd Blanche leaves open the possibility that the Justice Department could seek to block states from certifying votes in the midterm elections, though Blanche insists it wasn’t his intention to “improperly interfere with elections.”

“Quiet part out loud… Elon Musk knew Trump could make all his problems/investigations go away, and he did…”

When Trump is finally gone, we’re going to have to send every former president on a global apology tour.😔

If you don’t know by now that Trump will abandon you, I don’t know what to tell you.

(NYT) - The White House is using federal disaster relief as leverage while Republicans fight to keep power in Washington .. @nytimes.com #FEMA www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/c...

🚨BREAKING: In a loss for voters, the Supreme Court ruled to bar New Hampshire election officials from considering student IDs as evidence of identity when registering and voting during the midterms. The broader ban on automatically accepting student IDs as valid photo ID also remains in effect.

BREAKING: Supreme Court rules student IDs can’t be used to vote in New Hampshire, a win for the GOP in a Senate battleground.

Ummm…👇 Have you seen this?! Stella is Dolly Parton’s sister, btw. As credible a source as they come. THE CHEATING HAS ALREADY BEGUN. BEWARE. AND. VOTE. 😎🇺🇸✨

A woman in Arkansas was seeking care for a life-threatening miscarriage. Under the state’s strict abortion ban, no doctor would treat her. “Our hands are tied behind our backs,” one doctor told her. “Tell your friends to vote differently.” (Published May)

Musk’s move to spend millions of dollars to support Republican Ken Paxton in his US Senate race is opening up a potent line of attack about money in politics from Democratic challenger James Talarico

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

TRUMP: We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages. TRUMP LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER: If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn't be coming out right now.

“Bad men gain power when we refuse to stand up and fight,” MK Pritzker said in a statement. “Vivek Ramaswamy represents everything that is wrong with our politics today."

Very valuable and very sober analysis www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-puti...

Glad to see CNN reporting on this. @jimacosta.bsky.social and I raised concerns about DHS potentially using a military-grade “heat ray.” After 20+ years in national security, I find this deeply troubling. A weapon designed to inflict intense pain. Against civilians? Why does DHS need this?

"Trump has accused Democrats of threatening the country’s economy with socialism. Yet his administration has managed to wreck the country’s finances worse than any government in US history, without the excuse of an economic crisis or a successful major war." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

The orange felon’s trashy unqualified special envoy Steve Witkoff openly praised murderous Dictator Putin and went as far as to call him a “humanitarian.” There’s no excusing it, the MAGA regime are continuously committing treason against the United States and they all need to be in prison.

Note: TikTok - 15% owned by Musk pal Larry Ellison - permanently banned our "Musk" the movie account on the platform. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Loved that Alex Gibney quote on MSNOW a little bit ago: “Musk has the money to keep Trump in power, and Trump has the power to keep Musk in money." Really sums up 99% of that relationship. The only thing I’d add is “...and out of prison."

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick said there should be "consequences" for the action.

The Trump Administration is like a child who gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

What absolute madness is this?

JD Vance got DESTROYED on live TV.

MUST-WATCH: "Threats coming from within our own government." 🚨 @chrislhayes breaks down how Trump has tried/is trying to steal the midterms. (Feat. @ezralevin.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social @deidrehenderson )

The Supreme Court has, over the course of decades, legalized behavior that is poisonous to a functioning democracy, Leo J. Wise, a former Justice Department prosecutor, argues:

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed that he, President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet next month to talk about Ukraine. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4hVcuY6

Sure. Kinda like when the wifi slows down in your house for no apparent reason.

Zelenskyy on Trump: "I hope that he will change his decisions, because I think it's all mistakes. It will not help us and it will not help the United States. But it's not my choice. And I hope he will change his attitude to Putin ... we can't compare me and Putin. He's the aggressor."

Zelenskyy: "If the United States supports Putin, it's unbelievable, it's a tragedy. It's a historic mistake. If United States officially takes the side of Russia, of course we will not prevail and we will not be able to stand."

Ossoff: "At a rally earlier this week in Ohio, the president egged on supports who assaulted a woman demanding the release of the Epstein files. Because if you can count on one thing from this White House, it's their tireless commitment to war, inflation, and covering up sex trafficking."

Ossoff: "Foster kids don't have lobbyists or a super PAC. Neither do the women subjected to medical abuse in ICE detention. Neither do the female inmates sexually abused by the warden and the chaplain in their federal prison ... they deserve leaders who see them"

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

More people showed up to No Kings rallies than today's Trump rally in Kentucky
