For the last month, I've been posting examples of Trump's authoritarianism that I call "Dictator Move of the Day." If you search that phrase, you'll see that the fascist president is constantly trying to undermine our democracy. I'm going to keep doing these posts. We've got to stop him.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

🚨BREAKING: Federal prosecutors ordered Washington state in letters Monday to set aside ballots from over 400 people they alleged, without evidence, were noncitizens illegally registered to vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

It’s so much worse than you think. Ex-DOJ official Liz Oyer: “The Justice Department has been totally captured by the president.” CORRUPTIONLAND is released tomorrow @ corruptionland.org. Next week, Americans can do something about it.

Billionaires want you to believe taxing their extreme wealth is too radical and that it can’t be done. Baloney. Economist Gabriel Zucman debunks their lies. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNg2Uea6uUs

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Multiple polls show Trump’s approval at record lows, but I think what’s happening runs deeper than this. Something very dramatic is occurring. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/exposed

Trump-Putin scandal in Alaska. "Joel Riddle, chief executive of the company, Polar LNG, until he resigned in September, said he had been misled...The true source of at least some of Polar LNG’s money was Novatek, a Russian energy giant under partial U.S. sanctions." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

President Trump says he brought in $21 trillion in new investment, but according to the White House he's off by about $11T⁣ ⁣ That gap could pay every American's grocery bill for a decade. https://youtu.be/ODOd4JOVk64

Liberal democracy remains a towering achievement of humanity and it is worth fighting for.

look, nothing is simple and i have no parsimonious explanation for anything here, but a student protest movement, focused on corruption & authoritarianism, just won a major european election. a big deal.

After many obstacles were placed in her way, including by the Trump administration, the leader of the Venezuelan democratic opposition is back in Venezuela

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

“Ramaswamy’s ad embraces a woman who enabled sexual abuse—and uses the language of ‘parental estrangement’ to mobilize MAGA voters who can’t understand why their children won’t take their calls. But they know the reason. They just don’t want to accept it.” www.liberalcurrents.com/editors-note...

This chart about data center construction blew my mind. Watch.

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

“People thought that things would change, but in reality nothing changed.” José, another fisherman who used to work for PDVSA, had a darker view: “The gringos came to rob everything—the oil, the minerals. We are rich in everything, but here, we don’t have anything.” Bu @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu

What’s going on between Trump and Putin? Why are they calling each other humanitarians? I explain why that’s the the point and the flattening of language and words under authoritarians.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola’s campaign and the DSCC, Elias Law Group is fighting the Department of Justice’s sham lawsuit to preemptively block certification of Alaska’s U.S. Senate race if anyone other than the Republican incumbent wins. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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...

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

East Potomac Park has 3 golf courses, mini golf, a playground, picnic spots & a road locals run & bike on Trump's plan could swap most of that for a single 18-hole course @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are in court to keep it public More @nytimes.com👇 -TN

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

🚨BREAKING: A Trump-appointed judge just dismissed DOJ’s lawsuit seeking Utah’s unredacted voter roll, with prejudice. The ruling drops the administration to 0-27 in its nationwide crusade for sensitive voter data.

Ukraine says satellite access still restricted despite Trump saying otherwise
The president said SpaceX CEO Elon Musk lifted restrictions on Ukraine’s access to Starshield, but Ukrainian soldiers said the service was still disrupted Friday. wapo.st/3UeuOlS Gift article

Good on Monica Alba for persisting with a thoroughly legitimate question. Trump’s attack on her answered the question: Sexual abuse means nothing to Donald Trump. Zip, zero, zilch.

You wanna know why billionaire mega-donors are spending $200 million against me? Because I don’t take their corporate PAC money — and I never will. I don’t work for them. I work for you.

Trump 2 has been the most incoherent period of economic policymaking of my life. Not close. @sykescharlie.bsky.social⁣ https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/admitting-im-an-immigrant-shouldnt

President Trump called Elon Musk and asked him to lift restrictions on a military-grade version of Starlink in Ukraine that the SpaceX chief throttled, U.S. officials said www.wsj.com/world/trump-...

Trump's vicious cycle of corruption and unaffordability: Big Oil and DoD contractors profit from Trump's Iran War. You pay higher gas prices. Big AI rakes it in from Trump's support. You pay higher electricity prices. The rich get huge tax cuts. You get worse healthcare. See how this works?

Elon Musk says Italians should stay in Italy and the Japanese in Japan. Then why is this South African in America?
