I’m sorry, this is not going to help anything and she needs to go away.

I just learned that Helen Branswell has died, much too young. I didn't know her well, but I sure knew her work. She was one of the best infectious disease reporters working in the US (or anywhere). Very generous to colleagues too. Such a loss. Condolences to friends and family. [paywall. sorry]

Musk must really like what Trump is doing, and how the Republicans let Trump do whatever he wants. This should keep the #GOPMediaMachine flush for another cycle. Of course they failed to even prosecute his bribery in Wisconsin because, well... who knows? www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

It's no surprise that a major beneficiary of Musk's money is the most corrupt Senate candidate of modern times, Ken Paxton. Game recognizes game.

Elon Musk has quietly funneled more than $276 million into Republican groups since July, making him by far the largest known donor in the midterms as he tries to save the GOP’s Senate majority with some of the largest donations in American political history. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

“As much as $5 million in SpaceX two days before he signed a sweeping policy aimed at expanding US commercial space transportation.”

JUST POSTED: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have pushed a multibillion oil deal with Russia as part of peace talks that will bring profits to their family business partners. A new front for Trump-era conflicts of interest. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

The corruption never ends.

I didn't know any of this. Of course, none of it matters to someone who supports Trump.

the president has finally revealed his true form: a 1980s preppie villain determined to tear down the rec center

The one and only Lynda Carter — Wonder Woman herself — is here at the Kennedy Center. WATCH: open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Raoul: The president is a combination of the Scarecrow and the Tin Man. He needs a brain and a heart, and Congress is a Cowardly Lion that needs courage to stand up…

"i will shoot myself in the gut if you do not let me cut off my dick!!!"

The US President's new proposal to tax international students has been approved by the White House for release this week. It's an unprecedented $100,000 tax on int'l grads who stay to work after graduation on Optional Practical Training (most grads do), a crucial bridge to remaining by any channel.

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

Making tracks, throwing shapes.

Huge WSJ report on Noem's DHS corruption. She made Corey Lewandowski a “special government employee,” where he had sign-off power over big contracts. While in that position, he pitched Qatar & UAE on hiring him on the side for help with DHS matters, including visas. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

under remarked on aspect of trump is his deep hatred of natural beauty and the natural world.

Scoop: CISA is ending six free cybersecurity assessments for critical infrastructure operators, significantly reducing the hands-on guidance it offers to those organizations even as it tries to rebuild and reassert its value: www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/cisa-cy...

Are we great again yet?

This is a more significant breakdown in the fundamental bonds of the union than the headline might imply. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/u... 🎁

Trump’s DOJ appears to have hired a new lawyer. His credentials? Pleading guilty after illegally accessing government election websites. Now he could be part of the DOJ's election monitoring operation for the midterms. We have the receipts in this exclusive story: https://demdock.com/46bHlZA

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED.......

Until there are real, actual, physical consequences, this regime will continue to destroy lives unabated. Screaming "but it's a crime" doesn't matter to criminals. They know. They also know no one has stopped them yet.

“In this White House, they view persistence in deceit as a virtue.” Senator Ossoff nailed it.

These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.

There could not be a more blatant violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits any executive branch employee from "Using his or her official title while participating in political activity." Unlikely to be prosecuted, however. Will any news org even mention this? www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/5/7...

Trump's Treasury permanently ended beneficial ownership reporting for U.S. companies, eliminating records investigators use to trace hidden money and organized crime networks, including Epstein-style trafficking networks and Russian money laundering.

Bill Cassidy finally figured out a way to bump his RFK Jr. confirmation vote out of the first sentence of his obit.

I Remember, Hope you do….

WATCH: ProPublica & @drilledmedia.bsky.social found that oil and gas companies have been funding climate research at prestigious US universities for 30+ years. This research fostered a misperception that climate change could be solved without dramatically curtailing fossil fuels: propub.li/3TTgAGp

America’s greatest rival is single-handedly averting a global energy crisis, and no one knows how the country is doing it—or why, Rogé Karma argues.

Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.

This is why they’re going after Dr Fauci: he impeded grifters
