The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms in order to protect girls from sexual predators are now calling a child rape victim, whose mother lost custody due to that abuse, a liar. loathsome

OH Capital Journal calls out JD for his pro-child rape bullshit. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/22/d...

This was just his amuse-bouche

Rick Crawford WENT NUTS on Warner and Himes for disclosing that Russia is trying to target pro-Ukrainian lawmakers. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

When reached for comment, Ukraine responded “Are you new?” (Not a real comment.) www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

“Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration, U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter said.” www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

Federal officials are treating a fight over a D.C. golf course with the gravity of a national emergency, @kelseyables.bsky.social writes. She reports on the seven-hour court hearing that illustrated just how much Donald Trump wants to overhaul the site:

Trump stops talking and immediately starts dozing off

“.. we didn’t have the fiscal space to renew the tax cuts,” Griffin said .., noting that the US debt has eclipsed $40 trillion. Republicans “have their hands dirty over the tax cuts the last two years than with spending increases.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

we have a pro-democracy, reality-based majority, and a discrete radical minority — mostly white Christian nationalists — that holds views the rest find abhorrent. The latter dominates one major party and holds disproportionate power.... and their views are ethically and politically extreme

Trump: “I don’t think we’ve ever talked about it.” Vance: “No sir.” Public humiliation is the price of admission to the Trump Show.

Bottomless corruption

Demented and delusional Don

Trump has ordered up cameras to monitor his construction projects for “vandals” At least $343K to be spent after the president falsely blamed vandals for Reflecting Pool damage www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The White House official accounts are posting Down Syndrome slurs to attack journalists. These people are disgusting and morally depraved.

The Justice Department's "likely" noncitizen voter list in California is "unreliable," according to officials. And, the United Nations reports a major increase in U.S. climate pollution. n.pr/4BB8CDt

The IDF just detained the man who’s about to be elected US Congressman for NY’s 10th district, per his social media.

Darlene Graham is such a weak and useless Trump puppet that she can’t even defend the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. She has zero thought or independence on anything policy or political. She was appointed to follow Trump’s every order and that’s exactly what she’s doing.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

The cherry trees are a symbol of DC. Huge number of tourists visit them each year and are a thing of beauty. But Trump cuts down the oldest cherry blossoms in DC for his golf course. He has ruined our city. www.alternet.org/trump-dc-gol...

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.

Excellent

And if they don't come home from after one day, go to your child's school.

Six days after ICE shot him in the Bronx, Oscar Belgal remains in MDC Brooklyn, and still hasn’t gotten surgery to remove the bullet in his neck. “He has experienced a loss of sensation in half of his face, as well as hearing loss in his left ear.” Gift link: www.nydailynews.com/2026/10/14/l...

Just like Brexit, secession is Trump, Musk, and Putin’s plan. They all see the will of the people as their obstacle to ever greater concentration of power.

The top Pentagon official left Alvarez & Marsal Capital after ProPublica started looking into his financial ties. The contracts with the A&M consulting company are another example of firms close to the Trump administration landing lucrative deals.

What a weird dude.

I dug into EIA data and found a growing divide between electricity prices at investor-owned utilities and public power providers. Then @michellema.bsky.social and I visited two towns that show what that divide means for customers on the ground. Read our story here! www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Sen. Angus King says he sat down and made a list of everything Putin could possibly want from an American president. His conclusion about Trump? “This guy, this president, is doing almost all of them.” King then goes through the list. WATCH.

Weird

🧊 NJ CONCENTRATION CAMP ⁉️ "[Stephen] Miller did not want the facilities that were comfortable. He did not want facilities that were humane. We were told point-blank that that was not what the administration wanted."

One of the first things Trump did in Feb. 2017 was set up an office in DHS to *exclusively* publicize crimes committed by immigrants — just as the Nazis used Der Stürmer to publish a special section only highlighting “Jewish crimes.” See this article from 2017: www.thewrap.com/der-sturmer-...

"I indicated that I was a member of Congress, and I was here to provide oversight and to enter and to see this series of rooms...They said no, I was not allowed to enter," said Rep. Greg Stanton, D-Arizona. https://bit.ly/47a2ZxX

The biggest source of inequality in the U.S. is a gaping hole in the tax code—and no one is talking about it, Rogé Karma argues.

"Among the first to appear before the judge was Angel, a 13-year-old. He had no attorney. “Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” the judge asked “I don’t know,” Angel said, bursting into tears: “I have no one. I have nothing.” www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/p...

Trump doxes GOP Sen Tom Cotton by sharing his cell phone number online over … Daylight Savings Time. Trump says golfers want more daylight for later tee times. This is the leader of the free world, ladies and gentlemen. apnews.com/article/trum...

And most media will say nothing about this obviously fever dream made up nonsense and his demented and delusional mind.

Pilots in beautiful machines dropping bombs down air chutes into drug slash nuclear factories?

Another month, another temperature record. Across the contiguous United States, September 2026 ranks as the warmest September on record, dating back to at least 1895, according to data.

Gasoline will have a big impact on September CPI. EIA data show Sep YoY gasoline inflation is 36%. Diesel (not a line item in CPI) will be worse, at 68% YoY. (Diesel demand is half of gasoline by volume; shows up more on the PPI side, and/or embedded in inflation of other goods with lag in CPI)

🤦‍♂️

BREAKING: SCOTUS allows the Trump admin to restart third-country removals under a policy found by lower courts to violate federal law. The Democratic appointees dissent. The deportations will be OK'ed at least through the next several months, with SCOTUS agreeing to hear the case in December.

Pretty much that's the plan apparently

🤦‍♂️

Yup

Trump had $400 million in his PAC and he STILL decided that he needed to steal taxpayer money to pay for campaign ads for the midterms.

What an odd moment in United States history. A U.S. president is running an overtly political camaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government. Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...

Not for nothing but usually the "coverage" of the "caravan" has already started by this point in the cycle.
