Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Zali Steggall calls out the toxic behaviour by politicians & media following the attack on Dr Helen Haines—from Pauline Hanson’s “revolting” cartoon targeting Lambie’s medical condition to the “appalling” radio shock jocks fueling their “aggression & anger” to listeners. 💯

2019: Trump was impeached for withholding Ukraine's aid for a political favor. 2026: Trump may have colluded with Russia to drop Ukraine’s air defenses, all to lower gas prices before a midterm. Both started with a phone call from Trump. Feels like Congress should investigate.

Trump fell asleep - for a full four minutes - on camera - during tonight’s White House media session. The monkeys around him had to keep jabbering to fill the embarrassing silence.

oh no, hitching your campaign to the sundowning malignant narcissist felon might have some electoral downsides

New Fox poll of Texas has Talarico +7 with registered voters and +2 with likely voters. This is striking: *He's winning half of working class *In mid-60s w/Latinos *Winning 22% of non-MAGA Rs (!) The kicker: Non-MAGA Rs *disapprove* of Trump New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2161...

The racket of Pauline Hanson & James Ashby is a familiar complaint from former members. Jennifer Game used a debt recovery process to retrieve her $2k nomination deposit & a magistrate ordered ONP to pay her +$14k in electoral expenses. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

Politics “a game to Ashby”…

Pup Fiction@pupfiction.bsky.social

One Nation getting candidates to fund themselves and pay money to the Party has happened before. Candidates should have done ‘their own research’ They are grifters, not a potential party of government www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

Just one of many accounts on the Hellsite pretending to be Ukrainian, pumping out Russian propaganda, actually from Nigeria. The entire site is a misinformation engine.

🔴 A false claim that @u24.gov.ua pays influencers $50,000 to support Ukraine originated on The Tucker Carlson Show. These allegations were made by Carlson’s guest—"Elizabeth Lane". However, investigations reveal she is a pro-Kremlin activist linked to an FSB officer.

At what point do these corporations get charged with felonious activity? Humans certainly aren't allowed to mess with government websites or else the FBI would be knocking on their door. We all saw Wargames.

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Ya'll think Iran has been fighting US for "47 years"? No, no. Their hatred of US goes way back to 1953 when USA orchestrated a coup in Iran because the people voted to nationalize their oil industry. US & UK held firm to BP's control of the oil. Now, the country is unified against the great Satan:US

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Breaking News! Code FUBAR!!! Yesterday's Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly (preliminary) was a record 3.047°C above the 1991-2020 baseline, beating the previous record of 3.034°C set on November 19, 2015. It will take about 2 weeks to verify. Stay tuned!

Obviously this video shows only part of the confrontation. But it begs the question, why did ICE agents come out of Broadview to attack protesters? And given their history, it seems very likely their intentions were evil

Raider@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social

Skirmishes between protesters and suspected federal immigration agents erupted outside of the Broadview ICE Facility.

Good to see this finally get coverage in my old paper. This is the same mob who campaigned against me, but it wasn’t sufficiently newsworthy then.

“Largest theft of labor in human history.” What a quote.

Jason Kint@kint.bsky.social

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

NOT TO BE CONTROVERSIAL, but are we boycotting the Patriots and all shows at Gillette Stadium as hard as we are boycotting Ed Sheeran??? Because Robert Kraft deserves the heat about 100x as much, even if Ed is being a little dick bitch for letting him dictate things.

"The way Robert Kraft collaborated with other NFL owners to get Macklemore kicked off of Ed Sheeran's tour speaks to why Colin Kaepernick was never given another shot after taking a knee for racial justice. Many teams could have brought him in when needed. Instead..." substack.com/@extremeartu...

Robert Kraft still owns the New England Patriots as of February 2026, having owned the team since 1994. #Epstein www.boston.com/news/local-n...

Looks like 🤡N has been busted pulling the ‘AI’ wool over its supporter’s eyes. Apparently some guy in BRAZIL is doing anti-Labor commentary that’s posted on YouTube. This guy who goes by the mantle ‘Oceania Unfiltered’ uses AI to give him an Aussie accent! Of course 🤡N denies any involvement!

There’s nothing stopping the orange felon from giving Americans $5,000 checks right now considering he gave $40B to Argentina without blinking an eye. It’s called a lie, the same lie that feeds his rabid idiotic MAGA cult.

We started a trade war with these people because the president, who has some sort of degenerative brain disease with visible bruises on his hand's injection site that the press doesn't talk about, was bored.
