It is still shocking, even though we know why, to see Republicans saying nothing about Jared Kushner and what he's doing versus how Fox News and Republicans talked about Hunter Biden's laptop and paintings. They truly do not care about crime or national security when it comes to their members.

You're fucking crazy if you believe what this man says

Trump: "We took over Venezuela very successfully, and they've sent me as a gift a boatload of a million barrels of oil"

GOP election platform (I guess?) -MORE thugs tearing apart families -even HIGHER tarriffs! -More support for Putin -More money into the pockets of the Trump family

What is amazing is that you know every single MAGA member behind the scenes wants to move far beyond Comey shit, but their King on his deathbed desperately wants his enemies to pay a price for...announcing an investigation into Hillary Clinton

emptywheel@emptywheel.bsky.social

Depending on how you count, the charges Trump has filed against Comey have been declined 5X: Lying abt leaking to Richman: Declined in 2019, EDVA declined, then Halligan charged 8647: USSS declined to charge, then charged in EDNC Yahoo: declined by John Durham 2017, then again by Barr in 2020

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

Vote against Republicans, America. It's clear as day what is going on with them. Have you ever been envious of Russia or China or north korea? Because that's where these guys want to take America. Have fun traveling the world. Vote against Republicans

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

I can't stand Sunday social media because of all the clips of Republicans blatantly lying on talk shows. It's just insane that they can roll out and do what they do when they have families and friends that know they are lying also.

Anyone who votes for a Republican that is in the Donald Trump circle should be embarrassed. The Republican party right now is so incredibly corrupt, compromised by Russia, and unable to criticize any of its candidates for horrible behavior. Just a cult of moral rot. #usa #gop

Just insane that a POTUS can spew stuff like this and America not demand his removal.

He is remarkably consistent in supporting alleged perpetrators and enablers of sexual violence and attacking their victims

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

There is no perverted criminal they wont protect

Micah@rincewind.run

republicans’ closing message could not be clearer: they are the party of pedophile rapists

Megyn Kelly just decided to attack and insult Timothy Chalamee for his looks. Was this provoked or something? Did I miss something? Has Megyn just fully given into Satan?

It's amazing we live in this altered reality. If you took 500 random people and ask them questions about whether something was right or wrong using real things that have happened, without indicating the person or party that did or set it, it would be overwhelmingly terrible for the GOP. #usa

Questions like - should you attack a federal government building and the people who are protecting it? Should a president have a family member running foreign policy so that it enriches his family? Can an outgoing president keep any top secret files he wants? And on and on and on... #usa #gop

And how about this one - if you are found guilty of breaking into a federal building and assaulting officers, should you have those charges dropped, and in fact get paid for doing it?

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.

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

At this point, Republicans can nominate incompetent, offensive, violent and or corrupt people - and Republican voters will vote for them if they know that normal people take issue with them. It's all out of spite that they hurt themselves and their country. #usa

If Texas vote for Paxton, then it proves something has gone seriously wrong in American politics. In a normal world, a man with the history of corruption that Paxton has wouldn't stand a chance. Stop thinking along old party lines and start voting for people with integrity and decency. #usa #texas

Nothing Trump is doing- the bribes, the ballroom, the gold statues, the self-enriching, the Betrayal of NATO, betrayal of Ukraine, the adoration of dictators, the horrific treatment of immigrants, lgbtq, political opponents- is enough to make the GOP remove him. They failed America. They own this.

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

They're weirdly pressing two kinds of white supremacist lies at once -- some non-white immigrants are poverty-wracked criminals who are eating our dogs and cats, but other non-white immigrants are rich elites who are buying up mansions and flying first class. Pick a fucking lane, you clowns.

Is still absolutely bananas that an American president has gone against America's historical position, and his own governments position, to side with Vladimir Putin in taking down another country. And it's been widely believed that he is compromised by Russia. Save yourself America

The Atlantic@theatlantic.com

Donald Trump recently struck a deal to import Russian diesel fuel into the U.S. and exempted Russia from a sanctions bill passed by Congress. On Radio Atlantic, @jonlemire.bsky.social and @shustry.bsky.social discuss what’s behind the moves:

Struggling to engage with the concept of “father and son Republican operatives Timmy and Tommy Teepell.” Come on man can even one thing be like 5% less stupid

99% of the despicable and corrupt people in politics are Republicans. And the other Republicans aren't interested in kicking them out, either. I don't care what the Republican party used to represent, because that's gone now. It Sleazeball City at the GOP. #voteblue #usa

We’re not talking nearly enough about the sitting president of the United States sending our troops to die in a war while aligning our country with the dictator helping to kill them.

Trump rants like a lunatic at a women's health event: "That stone is so beautiful ... see the cushions? Those beautiful yellow cushions? Don't they feel nice? I have them specially made ... you have the new heliport and ballroom."

Republicans aren't even saying that their economic plan hasn't done what it's supposed to. This is the plan. While everyone struggles with high costs, Republicans see this as one of the greatest economies ever. Vote them out because their impression of success doesn't fit 95% of the population

Hassett claims that high mortgage rates and rising inflation is "hardly enough to overpower all the good news that we're seeing"

Costs are through the roof, and all of America's allies are being forced to walk away from them not by choice. And this guy in his Robo diaper is hoarding all the money for his family, and trying to get golf courses built and renovated. Anyone voting Republican are completely brainwashed.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "The Department of Interior wants to take a terrible and very unsafe golf course, and make it into a great, safe, and prestigious golf course ... They do not need an approval. Work is scheduled to begin IMMEDIATELY!"

Two out of three people know that Donald Trump and his family are using their position in the government to make themselves money. This should be an automatic lose. Donald Trump should honestly be resigning if he loses the House and Senate.
