Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

MORAL BANKRUPTCY Why are Vivek Ramaswamy, Donald Trump, and JD Vance doubling down on an ad weaponizing Amy Acton’s childhood trauma? Because apparently exploiting a survivor’s abuse wasn’t disgusting enough the first time.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

This is fucking insane. It reads like a bad spy novel. The corruption is almost cartoonish at this point. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

The White House still hasn’t restored CNN’s access to Air Force One/Oval Office.

I'm puzzled by Marco Rubio's role as Secretary of State. Why are Witkoff and Kushner taking the lead on major negotiations over war and peace, rather than America's chief diplomat?

🔥🔥🔥

The documented grift exceeds $2.9 billion. But "the corrupt exploitation of our government by Trump, his family & his cronies is likely far larger & more egregious than we know—hidden in secret offshore accounts & reliant on corrupt intermediaries around the world." open.substack.com/pub/america/...

The United States continues to help Putin murder civilians in Ukraine

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

We should support every one of these Democrats. I know I do. Compete everywhere. Fight for every seat. 💥 N🚫 Kings

Robert Garcia In Huntington Beach: American patriotism is not screaming and yelling “America First.” American patriotism is that you love your country so much that you actually want to help the people in your country.

"There is no excuse for this and you know why I’m furious right now,” the judge said. “I was hearing from plaintiff’s side that this was going to happen and I said ‘no’ repeatedly, ‘I trust the government.’ I trusted you all repeatedly to not do what you have done...” www.ms.now/news/you-did...

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.

Kirschner: When the ruling-class criminals commit crimes, you know what we do? We negotiate non-prosecution agreements with them. That’s the exact opposite of accountability.

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Trump’s big lie this morning unraveled FAST. Zelenskyy says the announcement was “NEWS TO ME.” Now a senior RUSSIAN lawmaker says he knows NOTHING about the deal—and suggests Trump is making fake announcements to manipulate oil prices.

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now members of Congress are being denied the ability to see the damage at these bases because there's a coverup underway. There's a coverup underway to try to hide the cost of this war and the debacle it has caused in the region."

Starting tomorrow on Indigenous Peoples’ Day federal contractors are scheduled to begin removing thousands of saguaros and other desert plants from Tohono O’odham land in Arizona for Trump’s border wall, according to tribal officials.

Congress MUST rein in ICE's surveillance tactics.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

The world the tech bros are building. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do. www.gadgetreview.com/virginia-dat...

Zelenskyy: “This week was very difficult for us, not only geopolitically, but also because of massive Russian attacks on our civilian infrastructure. They attacked our energy sector 196 times, our gas and oil 20 times. So far, they've killed 153 civilians.

Brown University’s widget shows that the energy costs of the Iran war have just passed $1,000 per household iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

Trump is actually very transparent about what he wants to do to elections. Yet the legacy media discounts him. “I have to take him seriously because that’s my job,” Marc Elias says. They want you tired and tuned out. We help you stay in the fight. Support us: https://demdock.com/4yDtK9W

The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

DELAWARE: "Nurse Monica Ryadi and her husband couldn’t wait to take their 3yo son to Disneyland... They didn’t get there. The Delco nurse has lived legally in 🇺🇸 since childhood. ICE arrested her as she took her son to Disneyland." #AbolishICE www.instagram.com/p/DeAFDW5jEW0

omg 😱

A lot of what’s happening doesn’t seem to be spreading anymore by mainstream media. A tree that stood for an estimated 150–250 years was destroyed today to make way for Trump’s border wall.

@crampell.bsky.social talks with Jasper Hill Farm's Mateo Kehler about how Trump’s tariffs and threats against Canada wiped out what had been the fastest-growing part of his business: "Our sales basically dropped off a cliff."

Hawaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

@lastweektonight.com -- John Oliver -- This voucher business really needs your special treatment. Start a private school with taxpayer dollars and earn $7000 per kid in Arkansas. Cost $45 to start (saying that they weren't teachers)...🙈 @propublica.org

As I note here, everything that happened in 2016 has come to pass. www.youtube.com/shorts/8piSZ...

Today, Russia struck a school in Kyiv with a drone during the morning hours. At the time of the strike, about 100 schoolchildren and 60 staff members were in the shelter; fortunately, no one was hurt. Who does that? What kind of barbarians attack children on a school day?

This aligns exactly with what we know about noncitizen voting; it is extremely rare (9 noncitizen votes in MN out of 3,253,920 in the 2024 election, or 0.0002%), and when it occurs it’s most often green card holders who were mistakenly told they could vote (none of these people are undocumented).

Trump’s new AI chatbot wasn’t hallucinating, he lost the 2020 election. But when the newest rollout from the White House contradicted Trump’s rhetoric, they pulled the plug. Now when asked about it, the AI tool says “I do not offer political commentary on elections” and dismisses the question...

I questioned the government chatbot about Trump’s attacks on voting. Here’s what it said. newsletters.democracydocket.com/-17907830690...

A great deal happened today. But nothing more important than this. SCOTUS allows Trump Administration to continue sending detained migrants to third countries with which the migrants have no prior connection. Just appalling.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

"The sources added that Patel consistently kept Bailey at arm's length and cut him out of meetings the deputy FBI director should attend because Bailey was constantly flagging things that were unconstitutional." www.cbsnews.com/news/top-fbi...

Tell your members of Congress to vote to protect the Kennedy Center. It’s up for debate.
