There is Peter Oberacker, a Republican candidate for New York’s 19th congressional district. Back in 2015, Oberacker posted a photo to Facebook on Veterans Day memorializing his late grandfather — in full Wehrmacht uniform — who’d died fighting for Nazi Germany. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

According to Trump, Americans are “richer now” and “we don’t have inflation.” Tell that to the millions of households struggling to fill up their tanks and put food on the table each week. People need real help, not fake news. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.
This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Trump‘s Justice Department is again abusing its power with a new charge against James Comey. The fact they filed an information, rather than an indictment from a grand jury, does not look promising for DOJ. Trump always refers to a “witch hunt“. This is it. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/26/j...

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

And I'm still lucky to have an amazing family and an incredible group of lawyers and will stand up in court and fight the latest. And whatever comes after this, the next couple of years are going to be hard for all of us. It's really important that we stand straight and keep the faith in America.

A group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers is coming together to investigate political corruption and law enforcement violence that it says is being ignored by the Trump DOJ. "The rule of law is on life support, but it's all of our responsibility to make sure it doesn't die."

“In one case, Epstein joked perversely that he sold “a fully depreciated woman” to Trump: the woman in question was a young, foreign, recent college graduate who dated both men. Other accounts describe Trump’s assault of a young model, Lauren Petrella, at a party where Epstein was present.”

U.S. citizen Ricardo Gonzalez was brutally detained by ICE in Long Beach while he yelled for help and said his arm was broken. This is a pattern of abuse and violence from ICE. No one is safe and our communities are being terrorized. We need ICE out.
