TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny. He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers. From the ProPublica archives:

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

Melania taking credit for something the Pope did? I’m shocked.

Most people don’t realize this: the stupid ballroom is much larger than the actual White House. Trump is like just, trashy

There are concentration camps in the USA. These monsters must be defeated and prosecuted.

Elizabeth Warren Is On A Roll.......

“People are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. Were making a frickin’ fortune.”

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

“Abdul El-Sayed’s middle name is Mohammed… Why doesn’t he share his real name?” “What’s Mike Rogers’ middle name?” “🤷🏼‍♀️”

The Trump administration has signed an oil deal with a Venezuelan energy baron who has faced money-laundering investigations in three countries. ProPublica reviewed a copy of the 18-page agreement.

Reporters need to stop tolerating this abuse from this man.

🧊✈️ The 5th Circuit is Texas, Louisiana & Mississippi, which explains why my ICE flight maps all look like this ⤵️

“also please do not google ‘working with cia in cuba history’”

So next year, my Marketplace health insurance (for just me) is going up 135%. From $242 per month in ‘26 (more than double what it was in ‘25) to $570 in ‘27. Pretty upset about it but know I’m not alone.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

So now Trump is going to sell Alaska back to Russia?!! Turning the clock all the way back to 1867….

"He's the first president to turn the Department of Justice into his own personal law firm. That is not its role. They are supposed to be about the laws of this country," says Jonathan Capehart. "This is a lawsuit in search of a crisis or chaos." https://to.pbs.org/3UET54G

REPORTER: "Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad?" TRUMP: "No. I don't care."

More than 200 complaints regarding sexual violence at schools have been filed with the Education Department since the start of Trump’s second term. The department has investigated only 29 of these, finding fault with a school district only once. www.propublica.org/article/civi...

I saw an interview of a young woman today saying she was just over politics and not inclined to vote at all. She should stick with that if she doesn’t care about anything other than tax breaks and multi-million/billion dollar govt contracts for the wealthiest among us. Not admirable as she thinks.

A billionaire wanted a Trump pardon. His family gave Trump’s former lawyer a $50 million job while she still worked at DOJ. Weeks later, he got his pardon. Wait. Is that legal? My write-up in the link in the comments.

Before you vote for ANY Texas Republican watch the Emmy winning documentary The Librarians. Extremist right money making up what is not appropriate. Abbott on down MUST be booted out.

“A comparable scenario would have been President Franklin Roosevelt siding with Hitler or Stalin in 1939. 'Mind-boggling that we have a president in this position'...” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Elon Musk says Italians should stay in Italy and the Japanese in Japan. Then why is this South African in America?

You know who does? The American people! New WaPo-ABC poll: 66% of Americans say Trump using the presidency to enrich himself, up from 62% in Feb & 56% in Sept 2025. That includes huge majorities of Democrats (94%) & independents (73%) along with over a quarter of Republicans (27%) (h/t jen rubin)

Crawford also did that softball, ass-kissing interview of Samuel Alito the other day. No big surprise she’d have another crappy take.

Elon Musk is using his monopoly on technology to stop Ukraine from fighting against Putin while Zuckerberg is using his monopoly on technology to stop America from fighting against Trump. #FDT #BeatTheRich

Trump works for Putin and it's an embarrassment to this country. 👇

Why does everyone overlook the fact that President Carter won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002? There can be no doubt that it was well-deserved. Is it just that Trump and MAGA are obsessed with Obama? Carter certainly had his weaknesses but should always be known as being a force for good in America.

Rs in Texas are vile & have used their long position in power to their advantage. I am newish to voting in Texas & have been amazed that not only have Republican gerrymandered heavily, closed polling places, but eliminated straight party votes & ALWAYS list the R candidates 1st on the ballot.

Meta’s reason for the shut down was ‘high activity’. I would be willing to bet if it was a MAGA Rally or other GOP event the ‘high activity’ would not have triggered a four hour shut down. I call bullshit! www.commondreams.org/news/no-king...

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

But, of course, Convicted Felon Donald Trump is looking for more ways to screw over the American people. How does a new golf course lower the cost of gas and groceries?

Feeling proud to be an American! It’s been awhile…

TELEGRAPH: Trump & Musk conspired to throttle Starlink and make Ukraine more vulnerable to Russian attacks — then Musk tried to blame only Trump. Putin wins again, as usual. Russia was never a hoax. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Say it with us: Russia was never a hoax. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/joe...

If Republican lawmakers cared about this country they would immediately Institute articles of impeachment for Trump’s latest traitorous actions regarding Ukraine.
