If we can afford tax breaks for the richest people in this country, don't tell me we can't afford to pay public school teachers and support staff a living wage.

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

His uncle was involved - John G. Trump. So not ACTUALLY a lie but a bit of spinning I'd say.

😬 Trump sounds like hell during bizarre pre-rally gaggle 😬 Trump could barely speak, but what he said was nutso. He claimed his uncle invented radar, said he could "violate" Prizker and send troops into Chicago, and had a weirdly contradictory answer when asked who he golfed with today. Supercut:

It is so important that European leaders acknowledge the truth as Kaja Kallas does here. Trump and the USG have been trying to force Ukraine to surrender for almost two years. There has been no recent pivot to Russia. It’s been a constant US policy www.euronews.com/2026/10/20/k...

Outstanding. More of this, please. Elon Musk is a white nationalist troll using the billions he made off government contracts to destroy this nation. Light. Him. Up.

A baby girl was killed in her stroller today by a Russian drone strike in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv Region. Her name was Anhelina. Her mother died as well. ​An absolutely barbaric strike on a park full of families with children. ​6 people have been confirmed killed so far, including other children.

Couldn't agree with you more!

We ask a lot of the men and women who serve this country. When their service ends, our responsibility doesn’t. Veterans deserve timely healthcare, mental health support, and help finding stable housing and work. Honoring them should mean more than a speech on a holiday www.va.gov

Dear CNN: That was NOT a heated debate. That was Abdul calmly and masterfully dismantling a bigoted GOP talking point and so thoroughly handling a GOP implant, the guy opted to leave.

In the law, we call this willful blindness. Or, in lay terms, gaslighting.

No Kings Protest Protest started at 9:30 AM, got there at the crack of 8:45 ... people just started arriving and a nice woman from Maine took my picture after I took one of her friends and her. Rain started so I couldn't take any pictures worthwhile. #nokings #Protest #nomaga #notrump #resist

I've been saying for a long time now that the media is letting us down and I think Patrick Healy just demonstrated that.

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social

This morning I re-watched my video argument with the NY Times' Patrick Healy, and it's clear that the Times believes if it says explicity that the Trump regime is assaulting democracy, that would undermine its work to investigate how the regime is assaulting democracy. What an absurd position.

Elon Musk’s super PAC is about to cross $1,500,000 to re-elect Susan Collins. Her response so far: “I wasn’t aware.” Not aware? Senator, it’s a public filing. Stop gaslighting us.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

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.

Eric Umansky@ericumansky.bsky.social

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

Talking about the push to livestream an execution, a guy on MSNOW said: "This is not who we are." But this is *exactly* who we are right now. If you don't want to be this, vote against all Republicans and ask your family and friends to do the same.

Can someone ask CBS News why Ted Koppel said that "Bannon's technically correct; they didn't have standing" in the 60+ cases Trump and his allies lost in 2020. This is verifiably false and is a GOP talking point. Many/most of the cases Trump lost were on the merits. Do they not fact check at CBS?

Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

A great line from Mr. Jackson and spot on!

who knows if jackson can win this thing but i am glad that he is making clear that susan collins's whole scam is to do everything she can to make life worse for mainers and then take credit for mitigating it in the slightest way possible

Why have so many people fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen. It's time to fix the system.

Day 5 since Pro-Publica reported on Susan Collins corrupt operation trading campaign cash for federal contracts. What’s been her response? She’s running the Trump playbook. Claiming to be the victim of a vast conspiracy by the media and Democrats. No remorse, no apology, no accountability.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

We’ve paid down more than $12 billion in debt, eliminated the old bill backlog, and grown our Rainy Day Fund from near zero to more than $2.5 billion. We have given Illinois a stronger financial cushion to protect taxpayers, invest, and grow even during hard times.
