Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
Vice President J.D. Vance's response to grieving widower Joey Amor missed the mark, according to critics. Said Amor: “There’s a failure in the leadership. And I want to know how this administration is gonna start holding those leaders accountable..." bit.ly/4eNmnVx
If Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed had used the word “Shylock” as an insult, the ADL would be attacking them by name relentlessly. But Donald Trump used it, so we get a generic condemnation of the word without any specific reference to who actually used it, and with no assumption of intent.
I know I've been on this bullshit before and I know this is an audience that largely agrees but I just have to yell at this particular cloud today: it is an absolute failure on the part of major news organizations that we have so little reporting on the president's physical and cognitive health.
Elon denies he betrayed the Ukrainians in the midst of a Russian assault in order to help Putin. But WSJ has the evidence: he did. Can we allow a drug addict from South Africa to run US military assets in the middle of a war? How did this happen? www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...
Similarly, crooked Donald Trump redirected $20 million in taxpayer funds from the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to pay for campaign-style television and streaming advertisements promoting him ahead of the midterm elections.
Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.
I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.
Dem Candidate’s Family Rips Vivek Ramaswamy Over ‘Despicable’ Attack Ad
Amy Acton's brother slammed the MAGA Republican over an ad featuring the siblings' estranged mother.
The warning came from one of the hundreds of FBI employees tasked with a round-the-clock scramble to process more than 100,000 pages of investigative files related to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
One widely loathed, ketamine-addicted, white-supremacist billionaire can single-handedly keep a failing political party afloat, through the brute force of money.
Excellent system we've set up here.
Finding that the evidence supports Lula's claims that Mark Zuckerberg is consciously attempting to rig the Brazilian elections in favor of Bolsonaro, a Brazilian court urgently requires Meta to undo its offending logarithms and insure equal access to Lula. www.nbcnews.com/world/south-...
Zuckerburg closed the NoKings Instagram account on rally day and Musk closed Starlink so Putin could bomb Ukraine and they would be defenseless. These Tech billionaires and their monopolies are out of control and they must be sued and taxed and regulated like crazy.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this.
Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.
Donald Trump’s diesel deal with Russia has sparked a minor rebellion among his supporters. Worse, it is unlikely to achieve his goals. Register for free to read why
Isabella Weber’s economic philosophy, which prioritizes making the necessities of life affordable for every citizen of a democracy, has gained momentum.
My MAGA focus group felt betrayed by tariffs, high gas prices, and inflation. I asked if there was any way Republicans could win back their support, and they replied only if they could prove that the pain had fallen harder on Black people.
Dozens of democratic candidates and officeholders are condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza and pledging to end all US military aid to Israel. But unless they use the word genocide, they are feckless cowards who do not deserve my vote.
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.
"Two women have filed a federal civil lawsuit accusing former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz and two others of participating in an alleged sex trafficking scheme involving young women, drugs and traveling across state lines"
Roughly 6 in 10 Americans believe that President Trump is profiting off the presidency in unethical or illegal ways.
Meanwhile, just over half of Americans believe that Trump has prioritized his own financial interests "a lot" since returning to office.
Her "immigration status" is that she's been a US citizen longer than either Melania Trump or Elon Musk.
The Democrats SHOULD use this opportunity for 100% solidarity with one of their own, and throw the fucking kitchen sink at Trump and his Republicans. I doubt they will but would LOVE to be wrong.
BREAKING: Justice Department issues subpoenas in investigation into progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar’s immigration status, including to members of her family.
The tragedy of Biden's presidency is not its lack of success, but how little its success was recognized. The claim Democrats don't have a policy program is false. Finishing the projects Biden began, working with Bernie Sanders and others, should be central to the project of the next president.
NO KINGS IS THIS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17!
And this time, it’s about more than showing up and making noise. It’s about or organizing and GETTING OUT THE VOTE!
Register voters. Know your voting rights. Make a plan to vote early. Get your neighbors to the polls.

I had no delusions I was gonna become an important media CEO guy when I left the bigger microblogging platform with all of the journalists and politicians on it, but guess what? It happened, because the only way to win on the Charles Manson Helter Skelter Reenactment App is not to play.
I would love, absolutely love, at least one prominent contender for the Dem POTUS nomination in 2028 to start threatening this now.
"Trump is right that lying on immigration forms is a serious offense. Here are the people my DOJ will investigate on Day 1: Musk, Melania, etc."
Put fear in them NOW.
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
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.
