Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

Carl Sagan warned us about this 31 years ago, and it is insanse how much of it sounds like our world today. When we stop questioning people in power and start treating facts like opinions and opinions as facts, we make ourselves a whole lot easier to manipulate.

@theweekendmsnow.bsky.social why hasn’t anyone talked about the quotes for Pete Hegseth’s mother about him? Given the Amy Acton story and Trump’s comments

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

Models that say we can overshoot 1.5°C & come back down assume: - we will transform our food systems from carbon source to sink - forests and soils keep absorbing 25% of our emissions - oceans keep absorbing another 25% - we enact a vast build-out of tech to pull CO2 back out of the air

I'm a little confused. Trump says he's brought in $21 trillion in new investment, but the White House's own website lists just $11.3 trillion. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/how-to-spot-a-fake-trillion

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Revelations about WH's involvement in Epstein memo in files pried loose by @democracydefendersfund.org lawsuit Trump was briefed his name was in the files--Weeks later his deputy chief of staff was editing the DOJ-FBI memo that declared the matter closed Patel sent the draft: "Here you go"👇 -TN

Great essay on the state of the Republican Party! Those with a strong sense of morality left years ago. The Meaning of the Republican War Over Ramaswamy’s Vile Ad www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/o...

@askdinadoll.bsky.social explains why New Mexico's civil action against Epstein's trustees could be significant: beyond seeking documents, litigation may allow attorneys to question people with firsthand knowledge under oath and examine the financial structure of the operation.

Hamilton: "Keep in mind that the president offered to pay voters $5,000 a piece to reelect Roger Marshall. He was gonna spend $1 trillion to do this. So we're talking $350 billion over 10 years to help people h ave their health insurance?" (Stay for the end of his response too.)

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

#FOTW Daily Post 19 1.5°C equates to key tipping points such as the loss of the Greenland Ice Sheet that, once crossed, won't reverse on any human timescale. 1.5°C isn't a slogan. It's a set of one-way doors to a different world And it's now shut behind us Pls share + tag 2 #FateOfTheWorld

@theweeknightmsnbc.bsky.social don’t call Marines soldiers. You’re right on the issue, don’t fumble it.

When ICE “warns” noncitizens they can’t vote, it’s not a benign experience. It’s frightening; meant to intimidate lawful voters. That’s the lesson the civil rights movement & a failed prosecution Jeff Sessions conducted as US Atty teach us. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-reoccu...

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.

“.. Only the top 1% of earners will pay less: $12,560 less ..” @usatoday.com #OBBBA www.usatoday.com/story/money/....

In Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the BBC, the BBC is playing hardball: subpoenaing fmr Special Counsel, Jack Smith, for his depo. Meanwhile, the court demands Trump explain why he is avoiding his own depo. Why it’s likely Trump will drop the case to avoid his depo: youtu.be/QD6uqvNNd-k?...

Washington has discovered a brilliant financial strategy. Cut benefits for people who need them, cut taxes for people who don't, and borrow the difference from people who aren't old enough to vote.

The answer is SIX. Inflation has outpaced wage growth for 6 consecutive months.

Scott Bessent was asked point blank, three times, is Ukraine an ally of the United States? All three times, he dodged the question. Let’s be clear: his refusal to answer is the answer.

The OBBBA was designed so that Medicare cuts “wouldn’t take effect until after the midterm elections. .. .. But for many, it has already arrived.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

How about Introducing Articles of Impeachment!!!

SEN. MURPHY: “I am just a Justin Pearson fanboy” Kudos to Sen. @chrismurphyct for campaigning in the South to the raise the profile of candidates like @angieforfl and our own @justinjpearson in #TN9

“.. The court has admonished plaintiff for his lack of participation to no avail,” US Magistrate Judge Enjolique A. Lett said in a brief order .. “Going forward, the court expects strict compliance with its order, the failure of which will lead to sanctions.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Remembering GEORGE WENDT — born 78yrs ago today. CHEERS (1989)

Trump says gas prices are “lower than when Biden was president.” Gas today is $4.35. Under Biden, it averaged $3.46 and was $3.01 when he left office. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart

The White House is hiding a report about your taxes until after you vote. Each year the IRS publishes data on what people at every income level deducted and owed. This version is the first look at the GOP tax law from 2025. It was expected in July. It’s October. Full story at link in comments ⬇️

My cross-exam for the new press secretary: If Kimberly Guilfoyle had to go over an alleged $100K ask, what about the president who made $2B in year one? Over $1B from crypto while 1M lost $3B on his meme coin ++ Gulf money & Kushner deals The grift is astronomical @ms.now👇 -TN

DOJ to a federal judge: everyone on a voter list is a subject of our fraud investigation. Everyone. Judge Sooknanan needed one word for that argument and 78 pages for the rest. The regime’s voter purge is dead. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/ossoff-put...

Fox host Rachel Campos-Duffy said live on air that this weekend that Ukraine has killed 1 million Russian children during the war and she is still doing her shows with not a word from Fox about it. That’s what Fox is.

Some say early 2030s. Others say 2028. But the math says it already happened in February, 2026. The Climate 8-Ball says there will not be a year in the next 100 years with a temperature anomaly less than 1.5°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline.

Fox is garbage.

Fifteen senators sent the Pentagon questions about the USS Abraham Lincoln. The answers came back in writing, and they didn’t match what Hegseth told the country. It's called lying. And he should be impeached for that and hundreds of other things.

😎🌵🪴 can I get barbecue sauce on the side?

Can Susan Collins point to a single deciding vote she’s made on any key piece of legislation or confirmation against Trump? No, she cannot. Her rare votes against are intentionally meaningless to fool Maine voters.

Between Natalie Harp and now Zacharia, Trump is surrounding himself with women who believe some very strange things. If a friend told you Democrats are a bunch of “sick pedo cannibals,” you’ve back away slowly and seek professional help for her

It's great to see a Democratic politician speak of the deep disorders of the people running this country.

KARL: JD Vance called your views 'left wing radicalism dressed in the skin suit of our religion' and said they 'aren't Christianity.' ADAM HAMILTON: I thought it was a sad statement that the VP would come here and attack the faith of the pastor of the largest church in the state of Kansas
