Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

(Reuters) - Americans have paid more for their gasoline and diesel at the pump on average during President Donald Trump's second term than they did under his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden, according to the AAA. ⛽️ @reuters.com www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
Dems planning for trump to try a Jan 6 style coup again, if republicans lose house and/or senate. FYI, Tom Tiffany was in the trump coup camp in 2020 when trump lost. Do not vote for that traitor, who wanted to throw out your votes and our democracy. #wivote #earlyvote #VoteCrowley @wisdems.org 🗳️🌊

Robert F. Kennedy Sr. spent his time in government fighting *against* racist bigots who said these exact same things, except their rants were against “Africans”
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
The body language of these people says they are miserable. They came in miserable, were miserable while trump lied to their faces and called them dumb (with a b) and they will go home miserable. Don’t be like these people. Vote for Dems who want to help Americans thrive. 🗳️🌊

RFK is of course correct, it has been *checks notes* an entire year since an Arab has won a Nobel Prize

Woody Harrelson has done an ad "for Exxon". Well worth watching
TLDR: Tom Tiffany would help cheat for republicans in the 2028 election, like he did in 2020, when he tried to overturn will of the people to support trump, who lost. Vote Crowley. 🗳️🌊 captimes.com/opinion/paul...

Hope so. It shouldn't take something so vile to shake voters out of their outdated tribes. It's no longer R vv D, or Red vs Blue... it's billionaire and their pet politicians v the rest of us. They're eating the cats and dogs should have been another wake up moment. #Ohio 🗳️🌊
This will go down as one of the most incredible screwups in recent campaign history, and it happened because brain-fried Republicans like Ramaswamy can't imagine that voters don't actually want politicians to be gigantic assholes. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/vivek-rama...
This guy belongs in jail. That's the only way taxpayers should be on the hook for this murdering psychopath. 🖕#Hegseth

How the streets and social media drove Lula to a historic comeback in Brazil A viral WhatsApp channel and student-led protests played a key role in the veteran Brazilian leftist’s election victory www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Needs a pardon. Probably cheats on her taxes. Criming Nicki we like to call her. She found her daddy.
This is the full Nicki Minaj experience at Trump's rally in Michigan on Sunday. Minaj is not a U.S. citizen and is ineligible to vote in any election. Her chant "when I say Mike you say Rogers," could change everything for Republicans.

Flávio Bolsonaro refuses to concede, "I am going to request the annulment of these elections." US right wing accounts linked to Trump attempting to push disinformation to help Bolsonaro's narrative. Flávio is more likely to face a criminal investigation for corruption instead.
Lula wins Brazil election! Stops Latin America right wing wave!
Well, the billionaires control everything and are all in the transhumanist cult of accelerationist AI fascist world, where only the elites are worthy. They have to be destroyed, taxed, exposed, charged, convicted, etc.
The core of everything is corruption. The cruelty, the fascism, the destruction of democracy and reality itself, it's all a means of self-enrichment and empowerment of a class of people that do not give two shits whether we live or die if it means stuffing their pockets. It starts there and expands
I saw an add in WI claiming white people can’t show their face in public (out of fear or something) and that liberals are racist. I guess calling everyone who disagrees with you a communist didn’t work, so republicans moved on to “racist” as a scare word. Meanwhile gop ICE targets brown people. 🖕🗳️🌊

NEW on @zeteo.com — Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his bus tour across Ohio in the closing days of the election. “We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.” From @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social:

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

Guess I won’t be going there. Smoking indoors is so last century.
Having just visited Las Vegas, it is incredible how jarring it is now to be in a public place where people are smoking inside. Even with everything the nicer casinos do to minimize it, they can’t filter it all. Crazy to remember how recently everything was just Like That (or usually much worse)

The soaring costs of public universities is a political decision. When these schools predominantly served white students, they tended to be free (UC, CCNY, etc.) But as the number of students of color has increased, funding for the public universities has decreased. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/b...

MUSK IS A WAR CRIMINAL #TheHague
Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...
