I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels. In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Get out and vote!

“You’re making me hard” 😂

We are going to talk about so much more than this but this tragedy is a perfect metaphor for the Trump Administration and MAGA in general. Pete Hegseth's vanity destroys a priceless American artifact. Join us in the live chat. Coffee With Texas Paul goes live at 11 am Eastern.

Anyone tell him Vance has changed his name twice in the past 10 years? #JustSaying

We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.

If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

A president saying clearly and with his full chest “I am directing the Department of Justice” to do … anything, would have been a five-alarm scandal in previous years. Now? It’s just a Tuesday.

Witkoff is an embarrassment (and much worse than that.). This is essentially a pro-Putin stunt. Calling Putin a ‘Humanitarian,’ Witkoff Thanks Him for Releasing an American www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/u...

I was pleased to hsve the chance to speak with @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social last night about the recent gut-wrenching developments in Trump's on-going service to Putin. youtu.be/iNR4mz6uJEM

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the change happened after talks with his American counterparts, including a phone call with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. n.pr/3TT3I3D

quick reminder that “die hard republican voters” are not the only voters that exist, and that the ohio GOP’s success over the last decade rests on winning conservative and moderate independents.

If Husted appears with Ramaswamy after the latter doubles down on the most reprehensible ad in memory attacking Acton for her childhood abuse it should end his career as well. You cannot be fit for office and go along with this. www.axios.com/2026/10/21/r...

When things ARE going great, not ONE single person is required to SHOVE it down your throat OR hit you up-side your head CONTINUALLY with THAT fact. It SIMPLY is, and YOU know it. Now, is DEFINITELY NOT great. #VOTE #VOTEBLUE #DemocracyMatters #TakeBackAmericaVoteBlue

Just 2 weeks until Election Day, Ohio! It’s going to take all of us to win, get out and vote today!

Way to go Texas! 🌊

"’It is unacceptable for Ukraine’s defense — and therefore Europe’s security — to depend on the goodwill of a single American billionaire or on Donald Trump’s decisions,’ French centrist Member of the European Parliament Christophe Grudler told POLITICO.” 10/16/26 share.google/zmUY4MBVCvhJ...

SEN. @ossoff.bsky.social : “If there were ever a time in 🇺🇸 history we need the opposition to have power in Congress, it is right now. This is the most out of control president… abuses of power and levels of personal corruption unprecedented in history.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

It’s the cowardice that gets me. Every damn time.

The right is spending the day complaining that Abdul El-Sayed was "rude" and "a bully" to Tommy the Republican Operative at his town hall, which is hilarious given how they had nothing to say about a woman getting beaten up at a Trump rally as the president cheered on.

Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision." Teachers can't give a student a cough drop, but sure they're doing gender reassignment at school.🙄 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Fair Q

Watching Vance light his 2028 prospects on fire in real time is something

“Stephen Miller is the architect of the greatest and most systematic violations of Americans’ civil rights and constitutional liberties in our era. This country isn’t safe until he is held accountable and punished to the fullest extent of the law for his crimes.” — Rick Wilson

An American president would tell Putin to fuck off. An American president would tell Putin to get the fuck out of Ukraine. An American president would stand with Ukraine. Trump however is not an American president. He works for Putin. So he’ll do what Putin tells him to do.👇

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

IRS refuses to publish report. Ahead of the midterm elections, the Trump regime is withholding detailed information that illustrates how King Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act hurt millions of Americans. The data from the IRS was originally scheduled to be released in July & updated in September.

Are they all traitors to the USA?

The media continues to give these LIARS a forum to spew their lies. They continue to “normalize” and force feed this crap!!

Again, why in the hell is anyone asking a bad treasury secretary that hasn't said one honest thing about military, intelligence and diplomatic issues?

The war in Ukraine is not a “false binary.” It is absolutely a valid binary. Putin is evil. Ukraine is the victim. Russia is our adversary. Ukraine is our friend. It is in the vital national interest of the United States that Russia not be allowed to succeed in conquering Ukraine.

WELKER: “Trump waived sanctions on Russia — Why is Trump rewarding Putin, a dictator, who invaded Ukraine? Is Trump siding with Putin? Does Trump consider Ukraine an ally?” BESSENT: *word salad* 🥗 Russia was never a hoax.
