If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

The Justice Department represents the United States of America, not the president. That’s what White House counsel is for. 

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

It’s Truly Exceptional….

New SEC filings show that Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to pay California’s billionaire tax without losing control of Meta. So billionaires can afford to pay the tax? And they won't lose control of their companies or flee the state? Don’t fall for billionaires’ propaganda. Vote YES on Prop 40.

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion. Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion. What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare. Vote yes on Prop 40.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

😡

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.

In case facts still matter

Trump says he brought in “$21 trillion” of investment vs. “less than $1 trillion” under Biden. Actual business investment: $14.5 trillion under Biden, $6.7 trillion so far under Trump. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart

Ultra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.

Don Bolduc, the Trump-endorsed Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire in 2022, and a group of other Republicans and independents have endorsed Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas in the state's upcoming Senate race. www.axios.com/2026/10/15/c...

Wtf

Today would be a good day for top editors in our major news organizations to call a meeting to announce to their staff that yes, this is fascism, and they should report and write accordingly. From August 2024: presswatchers.org/2025/08/we-h...

The Moron and Lunatic in the White House has now declared China and Russia aren’t helping Iran, and that if they were, “we would know about it very fast.” We do know. His own Defense Secretary told senators they are. Trump's covering for Putin and Xi as they help Iran kill American service members

Wtf is wrong with everyone..He is insane! Spews nonsense every day and no one cals him on it.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Zelensky on bombing the Russian data centers: “It’s pretty clear where the bots were coming from.”

A lot of MAGA influencers on X are seeing their engagement PLUMMET today. Even official White House accounts are seeing far fewer defenders in their comments. Why is that?

Seems relevant to me that the new White House press secretary, who supposed to convey accurate information, believes that elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood are sexually trafficking kids and eating people. 24 hours later, it hasn’t made it into mainstream coverage of Zacharia.

Between Natalie Harp and now Zacharia, Trump is surrounding himself with women who believe some very strange things. If a friend told you Democrats are a bunch of “sick pedo cannibals,” you’ve back away slowly and seek professional help for her

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

John Oliver lists off just some of Ken Paxton’s scandals: “Paxton spent nearly 9 years under indictment for securities fraud... He was also accused of bribery and abuse of office by eight of his own top deputies... But wait, because I'm still not done.”

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

You wouldn't know it from reading the headlines, but the president's downward mental health spiral is the biggest story in America right now We won't salvage democracy unless the media and pols start speaking the truth about Trump's damaged mind My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

This is crazy! How may direct, urgent warnings were there? www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Referring to the Chinese president, the host asked “If you were president, would you throw him a big dinner?” “I would not be throwing him a dinner,” Trump declared. “I’d get him a McDonald’s hamburger.” 😂 www.mediaite.com/media/tv/jak...

Ambassador Alan Wolff says President Donald Trump's novel implementation of America's tariff law is illegal and runs counter to how Congress intended the presidential power to be used. Wolff would know. He wrote the law. https://cnn.it/4AuSoLg

Trump decision to extend the National Guard's deployment in DC until January 2029 will cost taxpayers roughly $1.4 BILLION. This is a blatant misuse of the military and a startling escalation of federal overreach. We sued 12 federal agencies for answers.

NEW AD: Ken Paxton loves to make false claims about James Talarico’s record on China. But he’s been hiding his own. Paxton took an all-expenses-paid trip to China to meet with Communist Party leaders — then took massive donations from China-linked real estate developers.

This is about one thing and one thing alone. Steering our research dollars for cancer, heart disease, and new infectious diseases to Trump’s political allies and friends.

Tell me the system is broken without telling me the system is broken.

A billionaire dictator who'll lose everything if the opposition replaces him on Jan. 20, 2029 is stockpiling killer drones and high-powered rifles on towering monuments and ballroom roofs I'm sure it's nothing to worry about

A federal judge says Todd Blanche isn't sufficiently following the court's orders in a case concerning the Epstein files and gave Blanche a deadline to comply or face the possibility of contempt charges. The order stems from the lawsuit brought by Katie Phang.

James Talarico: "I wish our government would go after pedophiles the way they go after brown men headed to work at 7 a.m."
