JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

nytimes.comHow Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

Jesus was mentioned 1,000 times in the bible. Donald Trump is mentioned 38,000 times in the Epstein Files. He’s more than just a “background character.”

I’m tired of being divided into teams. Do you want a safe neighborhood? Do you want a good job with good benefits? Do you want a high quality, well funded public school? So do I. We’re far more the same than we are different. As one team, we’re unstoppable.

Obviously, a person who has broken immigration laws should not be allowed to obtain government contracts, right?

Trump’s ex-chief of staff John Kelly said this to me, six years ago: “I don't know how he’s not in an institution somewhere, whether it’s jail or a nuthouse. He’s a seriously sick guy. I never heard him saying anything that wasn’t a lie.” Trump has only gotten worse since.

After a woman obtained public records indicating a Google datacenter would cover only one-third of the cost of a new solar plant to power the facility — contradicting its promises that ratepayers would not be on the hook — her electricity company sued her.

Once again, Trump does a massive giveaway to an authoritarian leader. Isn’t it so weird that he’s willing to hurt anyone — including Americans struggling with the enormous costs of his war — but bends over backwards for Vladimir Putin?

So let's get this straight: Russia just murdered over 65 people in Ukraine in less than 48 hours. Crushed a building on top of sleeping families to celebrate Putin's birthday. And today, the U.S. announces that they are lifting sanctions on Russian diesel and planning to buy some,

On the 10th anniversary of Russia’s election interference, the FBI Director —who called it a hoax—is flying to Moscow, as guest of the FSB. As I said to @sarahfitzpatrick.bsky.social: “Unless he’s going to warn them to stay out of our elections, and get out of Ukraine, he has no business there.”

Have you guys noticed that Republicans who were a rubber stamp for Trump for the last decade are now suddenly pretending to be defenders of democracy? Amazingly, Senator Thom Tillis is finding his courage right around the time his book tour is launched. How brave! Read my take at the link below ⬇️

U.S. Ambassador to Greece, and former fiancé of the purported son of Donald Trump, is a crook, grifter, and conwoman. I’d say “unreal” but given how corrupt Republicans are, it’s totally normal these days.

This courage— from the woman who witnessed and filmed Alex Pretti’s murder—is like nothing I’ve ever seen OMG 😭 Thank you to Senator Blumenthal and Rep. Garcia for giving Stella an opportunity to finally tell her story.

It was clear from the beginning that the situation on the USS Lincoln needed to be taken seriously. Instead of being honest about it and supporting our servicemembers, Trump and Hegseth denied and minimized what was happening. Failed leadership.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

A health secretary peddling “vaccine injury” nonsense amid a sharp rise in measles cases while sharing the stage with a polio vaccine denier is a GREAT look for the GOP heading into the midterms. “Give us another chance. We will **definitely** kill you!”

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

We’re all getting screwed—Democrats and Republicans alike. The billionaires who run this country don’t care about your politics, they only care about their profits. They don’t see Red or Blue—they see Green. They see us as one opposing team. So we might as well act like one.

Ken Paxton sat on the hospital board. Then he started pulling six-figure income from a cell tower on that same hospital’s grounds. Just another “coincidence.” It’s just one source of his wealth—helps explain how he could afford to buy 11 real estate properties. He’s corrupt as hell. 🤬

If he was actually "totally exonerated" by the #EPSTEIN_Files as he claims, he'd be selling bound copies of it on "Truth" Social along with his other merch, like his MAGA Bibles, Red Baseball Caps & Golden Sneakers.

Katie Phang on Todd Blanche's meeting with Epstein survivors: "If you can imagine being the victim of this type of horrific child sex abuse, and then in your mind the brass ring is 'Let me sit down with the top cop of our country to be heard,' and to have him be such a dismissive asshole."
