TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.

Every single person who bought Tesla stock five years ago and has been holding it is a loser. No dividends. No stock buybacks. Zero asset appreciation in five years. Meanwhile the S&P 500 index fund is up 65% over the same period.

Vučić and especially his network behind him were essentiell for Russia's meddling into Serbia. Vučić also had a rather close relationship with associates of Trump. Grenell and Jared Kushner were in the Serbian capital, discussing "infrastructure" projects.

6 months after Orban's election defeat another Putin supporter is exiting. Serbia's Aleksandar Vučić decisively lost the elections last night, after being 14 years in power. The opposition of teachers and students will take the lead.

Neither one of these men are qualified to do what needs to come next. What we need is for the rest of the Congress and Senate to recognize that fact.

Trump has only allowed the transfer of 24 patriot missiles to Ukraine over the last 3 months. That is only 2 interceptors a week. Rather than ending patriot deliveries, Trump is sending a tiny amount so people can't complain he stopped while 95% of Russia's missiles still get to hit their targets.

This is as sweet as Hungary! Maybe sweeter because directly anti-Putin.

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

This is EXACTLY the problem!! The woman is 88 fucking years old!!!! She should be in a nursing home, NOT in the U.S. Congress! And NOT head of a committee. People like her will NOT give up power. The Dems' McConnell. Democrats as bad as Republicans in this charade! www.politico.com/live-updates...

politico.comDemocratic group walks back ‘gerontocracy’ swipe against Maxine WatersWaters is facing potential challenges for the top Democratic spot on the House Financial Services Committee.

It's why voters hate BOTH parties. This has NOTHING to do with the color of Maxine Waters' skin. Don't even go there. It has to do with her age, just as it did with Eleanor Holmes Norton. It's shameful that she - and ANY legislator at her age - will not give up power and step aside. Pure arrogance!!

Nothing says "She's always there when I REALLY need her!" like lifting tariffs for her one week before an election when it could have been done anytime in the past. Don't be fooled by her fake "resistance"; she's HIS girl,not yours. He owns her now. Vote her out! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It's odd that people oppose govt healthcare proposals because "you can't keep your doctor" when the article below says "Large employers are also increasingly contracting directly with hospitals or health systems to provide care outside of their health plan's network." www.axios.com/2026/10/22/w...

I don't recognize this country anymore. We attack people's RELIGION. We exploit a survivor’s sexual abuse as a 12-YEAR-OLD. We double-cross an ally IN BATTLE. We cheer when people are BEATEN UP at political rallies. We KIDNAP people off the street due to their skin color. We glorify RICH people.

Things Trump has Delayed Until AFTER THE MIDTERMS - Kicking millions off Medicare - sending private collection agencies after millions of student loan defaulters - stepping up in the intensity of his moronic war on Iran - releasing the report on the horrific Iran elementary school bombing (1/2)

Trump's peace envoy praised Putin as a "humanitarian." Putin has killed more people on this planet than anyone else this century (Syria, Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine, Africa) and Steve Witkoff worships and admires him.

Another Trump shit show. This time the Granddaddy of them all! We're moving service members "out of harm's way"?! And why were FAMILIES still in region? Is this how we strengthen bonds with allies in the Gulf? First, undermine any diplomacy! Then leave them to fight the war but weapons are depleted!

Boy, did Google blow it!! Stupid! They had a good thing going, pretty much flying under the radar there. Now, they're top of the news 24/7. All over Europe. This isn't a park on the Potomac, they're not Trump, and it's NOT the U.S. There's always the Arctic. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We still haven't been told how much the "mother" was paid to make the ad. She certainly didn't do it for free. Republicans are supposedly the party of "family values", but apparently not of human decency. They aĺl obey Trump. Rid us of them! Vote human decency. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

‼️Serhiy Flash: Russia attacked the historic center of Kyiv with Iskander ballistic missile with K5 cluster warhead. This warhead explodes above the ground and is specifically designed to cause maximum damage to people and equipment in an area of ​​400 by 400 meters. 58 warheads explode in the air.

Kavanaugh, Roberts and Coney Barrett all worked to stop the vote counting in Florida in 2000 in order to have the Supreme Court decide that George W. Bush won the election. (Gore won the popular vote.) What on earth makes you think they won't do the same in the midterms? That is, decide elections?

Ossoff: "Maybe you saw Trump so desperate that he's begging Putin for diesel. But listen to this -- at the very same time, the White House is brokering the sale of billions in Russian energy assets to people who fund the Trump family and the Trump campaign. Y'all remember Jared Kushner?"
