It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

I’m glad Congress isn’t alive to see this.

All these so-called “independent” Republicans will go right back to voting for Johnson as speaker, confirm every Trump nominee, vote with Trump on everything, and continue doing zero oversight on his corrupt regime. A vote for any one of them is a vote to continue all of that.

Yikes. This guy has really cranked up the Melania propaganda to 11. He went from she's the "Most Consequential First Lady" ever to Melania is now negotiating a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. COME ON.

BREAKING: MIAMI (AP) - Federal judge orders Trump to sit for a deposition in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC by Dec. 11.

Breaking: Public Citizen submitted a Freedom of Information Act asking for all communication between the Department of Homeland Security and Meta regarding the No Kings Movement.

It's time to defund Elon. robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

Very evil stuff

Three-byline alert: 🚨 “.. Last week, Musk capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the satellite-based network .. .. One of the people also claimed Musk and Trump discussed the matter prior to the decision ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

BREAKING WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.

It’s the cowardice that gets me. Every damn time.

At some point, voters will understand that corruption and unregulated corporate greed are deepening an unsustainable wealth gap. We need to rise above the scare tactics are designed to distract and divide us.

You either believe, as many Republicans claim, that Trump wants to do what’s right on Russia-Ukraine but keeps making bad decisions that helps Russia & hurts Ukraine. Or you believe that Trump has always been on Putin’s side. The former just proves you are a fool or dishonest.

In other words: “You brown people should be grateful to live in a country where the vice-president calls you weasels in public”

"I'm trying to deliver Jesus from identity theft. Folks who claim to share the faith that I share support these mean-spirited policies that kick people off of their healthcare & take food out of the mouths of hungry children. I don't understand that kind of faith." ~ Sen. Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock

1/ The Musk-Trump decision to degrade Ukraine's Starlink access as a pressure tactic is a disaster not just for the United States' reputation but for the entire US defence industry. Musk's action may end up burning the whole industry. ⬇️

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.

🔴 BREAKING: Romanian F-16 fighter jets have shot down two Russian drones over Romanian territorial waters. The Defense Ministry confirmed the jets were scrambled twice from the Borcea airbase after the drones violated the country's airspace.

Don't know what happened with the No Kings account, but it's clear what's happening here. Assume the worst when something happens on a fascist-owned app or website.

My latest at Public Notice. Everything Trump touches, dies. Including tourism.

Trump: "Maybe I won't have a news conference santamataldum"

it's pretty f'd up that the Trump administration is trying to deport my duly-elected member of Congress

FALLON: This little radically woke soy boy is completely out of touch with Texans FOX BUSINESS: But congressman, you can say Talarico is out of touch, but he seems to be in touch with perhaps a majority of the people who are gonna vote in this election

Speaking of gratitude, someone who was gifted a senate seat and the vice presidency by sugar daddy should probably show a bit more

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

Trump and Musk are doing everything they can to try and force Ukraine to surrender to Putin while Musk spends over $300 million to try and buy the midterm elections to maintain total power. The American government under Republicans are on the side of evil. Vote them out.

Trump announces that two countries who have been in a major war have agreed to a ceasefire. Ukraine said they had no idea what he was talking about. Russia said they agreed to nothing. Trump has taken a blowtorch to any credibility the US has built over two centuries.

Oh no. And poor Enrique Tarrio had assured us all he had an ETA exemption, in spite of his fraud and terrorism and gun crime convictions. Whatever injustice might have caused these travel difficulties?

Even Trump’s henchmen at DOJ are learning that you can’t indict a “grand conspiracy” without evidence. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/u...

Adding to this: it’s not just that the Constitution allows for impeachment; it COMMANDS it upon the commission of treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors by federal office holders. The word “shall” is a command, not a plea.

All of NYC stands with the mayor on this. This ICE office is guilty of reckless endangerment of a 5-year-old and a raft of other felonies. He should be in prison. bsky.app/profile/mayo...

This ICE agent’s entire Instagram feed, “shooter.914,” is guns, watches, energy drinks, and alcohol.

Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles’ daughter posts a pic at a training camp with a pro-Russian militia in Bosnia that specializes in destabilization… totally normal stuff! “The photo raises Q’s about White House links to the pro-Russian politician”🤔 www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-...

Who wrote this on p.58 of his autobiography? (Hint: he’s a beardo weirdo.) “You can walk through a [rural] town where 30 percent of the young men work fewer than twenty hours a week and find not a single person aware of his own laziness.”

Russian strikes in eastern Ukraine have killed 30 people and injured at least 18, according to authorities. The attacks included a strike on a public bus and have worsened power outages in Kyiv. n.pr/4rSitQL

As a political science professor, I can confidently say: If I asked a student to define "socialism" on an exam and they wrote that, they would get an F
