Fetterman has his AIPAC money ti keep him warm.

I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

I hope that a defeat of Flavio Bolsonaro and Darline Graham drives a stake through the heart of nepo-politics, leaving Don Jr. worried and sad.

For the Americans the war is just an element of a grift; they are, sadly, not negotiators in any sense, just men seeking to make more money from the bloodshed their actions enable.

So as I headed to Ingram for the first time in March, I wanted to know who the local faces of the national immigration crackdown were. Who was driving the black Dodge Charger? www.propublica.org/article/depo...

conservatives in washington state want freedom and small government in the form of state-mandated genital exams for high school students: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Elon Musk's audacious campaign to keep Alex Gibney's Musk out of theaters and social media shows the fantastic power Musk wields in America today, especially the power to squelch his critics. www.status.news/p/elon-musk-...

He’s spent $158 million pushing Ken Paxton on Texas,; and we’re all still waiting for one single post about Paxton’s positive virtues.

“A gaping wound of earth” 🌎 😕 Google illegally knocked down 250,000 trees in Finland to build a data center. @nonewdatacenters (From the Guardian)

The polls are only real when Trump likes them

here's Wednesday's post: "Agolf Shitler commits another fascism. How did we Nazi it coming?" Weird how everything Donny does, the Third Reich did first." thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

If you are wanting to learn about the Russian occupation of Ukrainian territory, this important film is a very good place to start. www.docnyc.net/film/traces/

I have been trying to think of what Trump’s hideous “ballroom” project reminds me of — and I finally have it — it is Nicolai Ceausescu’s infamous and unfinished House of the People in communist Romania, which also brought awfulness to a lovely downtown.

The Trump admin is moving forward on plans to impose financial penalties on Americans in default on their federal student loans and hire private debt collectors to go after them. The plans are unlikely to be announced until after the midterms.

Putin has incomparably more influence in the West Wing than he has in eastern Ukraine. Indeed, his only hope in eastern Ukraine sits in the West Wing.

Sociopathy on clear display.

Trump’s worldview is that it is good for evil to prevail and wrong for the righteous to resist.

FUN FACT: Trump's had two press secretaries that lasted a combined 15 days.

BREAKING: Katie Zacharia Out As Trump Press Secretary After Days on the Job. Just not a good enough liar.

And the US under trump republicans helped.

A Massachusetts woman pays $500 a month to get her electricity from a privately owned utility. Her neighbor, less than 2,000 feet away, pays just $130 a month because he’s served by a publicly owned utility. How are privately owned utilities getting away with this price gouging? Watch.

Campaign for Accountability, a watchdog organization, filed a complaint with the State Bar of California seeking an investigation into whether Katie Zacharia violated state law by presenting herself as a lawyer without a California law license.

People are claiming that Elon Musk messed with Starlink in Ukraine because Trump asked him. I think a more likely reason is that Ukraine damaging Russian data centers embarrassed Elon by showing how many of his Twitter followers are nonexistent and how much traffic on Twitter is driven by bots.

A post circulating online shows a Trump supporter bragging about assaulting a woman at the Youngstown rally. It was later removed or made private. Police say no arrests have been made because “no victim has come forward to file an assault”.

In August, Trump purchased between $1m and $5m in SpaceX bonds. Two days later, he signed a memorandum setting out a new policy pledging US government support for space transportation companies: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

Military-base housing is “reserved for military who have earned those quarters from fighting in wars and defending our country... They should not be used for people in the White House. It’s an abuse.” www.vanityfair.com/story/stephe...

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

yesterday, Donny mocked his cultists to their faces, for believing the stupid shit he tells them. the cultists responded by laughing and clapping ever harder. spoiler alert: it's a cult. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I do some mocking of my own. link is here: bit.ly/3Un3xO2

here's today's post: "Dear Leader mocks his cultists to their faces. The cultists giggle and clap in response. What the fuck?" Who acts like this? thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

Thank you, America! Money from diesel will help me kill even more Ukrainian children.

We are sanctioning the ICC because we are a country that commits war crimes. We are buying diesel from Russia to fund Putin’s war machine because we are a country that likes *other* countries that commit war crimes.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

Mayor Mamdani calls on Trump to end all ICE enforcement actions in New York City after masked ICE agents shot a man in Marble Hill yesterday afternoon.

All these years later.... I'm STILL a member of The Resistance.

Pe[low]te Hegseth can’t keep up with women he claims aren’t strong enough to compete with men in his “warrior” military.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.
