WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?
TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with?
REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations
TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?
NEW: META comms guy claims the takedown of the No Kings Instagram account during the largest early vote action in history was a simple error. I call BS. I’ll be speaking with @ezralevin.bsky.social at 4:20 PT (in 20 minutes) on Substack. Join the conversation: muellershewrote.com
The federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar aims to build a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the probe on.wsj.com/4zBOcZ9
Trump supporter at rally defends public execution based on Christianity. I'm Serious: “We’re a Christian nation, and that means that we’re not going to let Satan get his way.” There are no words for how dangerous MAGA is to our nation. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/10/u...
We need to get a full accounting of every dollar each media company accepted of our money stolen by Trump to run his partisan political ads on their channels. Companies who accept these ads are receiving property stolen from the American people & are a disgrace for accepting them
He says it out loud: "…the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States."
@thewarningses.bsky.social's 9 for the day the majority flips: 500 investigators, a Truman Committee for the Pentagon, a full accounting of DOGE.

"Perhaps more concerningly, the TVs were capable of recording microphone audio when in standby; this continued even after the TV was disconnected from the internet, with audio files stored offline and uploaded once a connection was restored."
It's finally happened: the improved quality of machine transcription and the greater ability to extract value from unlabelled data means "your tech is eavesdropping on you for marketing purposes" has crossed from "false conspiracy theory" to "true and concerning" www.theverge.com/tech/991190/...

The incredible reaction to Jon Ossoff saying just one word about our emperor's new clothes -- "Natalie" -- shows what Democrats can do if they just speak the truth about what all of us can see with our own eyes
In Trump's America: Some ICE prisoners have gone on hunger strikes to protest being detained and their treatment in these concentration camps. They are being force fed- a plastic tube forced thru their nose into their stomach. This is torture www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Why can’t we take Elon Musk seriously? His public image is almost completely divorced from reality, which leaves us with the shameful distinction of being even more divorced than Elon Musk.

Don't be nervous. He sorta just stands there, relaying photos of us to the data lake that keeps us all safer somehow.
In interviews with The Marshall Project - St. Louis, men incarcerated at Algoa, Ozark Correctional Center and Moberly Correctional Center described the effects of unrelenting heat in facilities with limited or no air conditioning.
Essentially, this would be (1) paying Donald Trump to (a) make market-moving statements, and (b) provide inside information about those statements—and hence (2) setting up a market manipulation scheme and giving Trump his cut of it.
Fascism was really fascinating at first. Trump was grotesquely interesting. I think many felt a desire to make sense of him.
But in the end, it's not necessary to make sense of an abuser; continuing to try and find the reason why just serves their purposes. TLDR: Don't watch tonight.
Listen, if we want the future Los Angeles to have all the cool shit like a smokey indoor market, massive crumbling buildings, smog to fly your car though, synthetic animals, and killer robots, we need to build these fucking datacenters now!
Thousands of Shahed drones deployed into Ukranian apartment buildings, resulting in millions displaced: The unfortunate cost of war.
Refinery near a major Russian city: War crime.
Unbelievable hypocrisy.
What complete dogshit. "morale bombing" as the author describes it is exactly what Russia has been doing deliberately this entire time: targeted attacks on civilian dwellings.
If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.
Thomas Massie (R-KY) notes: House Republicans who've suffered Trump's greatest wrath are those who signed the discharge petition for the bill requiring release of the Epstein files: Boebert,* Greene, Mace, and himself.
(* – though from the timing, Trump bashed Boebert b/c she campaigned for Massie)
😄 The pro-Kremlin newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets published an article arguing that defeat is actually a victory, and that losing a war is even advantageous.
Donald Trump has done a lot of terrible things to this country over the last decade. But here’s what I think is most insidious of all:
Trump has taught Americans that cruelty is strength, that resentment is identity, and that hating other people somehow makes you superior.
Last year (as first reported by @404media.co), a records request revealed how often a small police department's camera network was searched by other law enforcement agencies. It was … a lot.

If you wouldn't feel shame over something your ancestors did you shouldn't feel pride in what they did either. And regardless of what they did, you don't get to refer to their deeds as "we".
Look if Trump wants to keep making the ballroom a big issue, he definitely should. Voters will be thrilled for the President to get a ballroom, on top of the billions he’s grifted, while their grocery and gas prices continue to climb. Great issue for R’s to campaign on in 2026.
Billionaires: look how incredible this place is. Wouldn't this be a better legacy than trying to bring back feudalism or building a child pornography machine?
The FBI is totally implicated by the DOJ's own logic in the SPLC indictment. I hadn't thought of the possibility that they are laying the groundwork to suggest that the FBI was responsible for Jan. 6 (one of the main narratives of the right), but it is possible
Isn’t the FBI indicted by this logic? It also uses paid informants and infiltrates organizations. Or is this a predicate case to the “FBI incited the Jan 6 insurrection” lawsuit that the DOj will file against the FBI?
