WANNA PUT A CHECK ON TRUMP'S ABUSE OF PRESIDENTIAL POWER? This election isn't just about who sits in Congress. It's about whether ANYONE can tell the president NO. Congress controls spending. Congress conducts oversight. Congress has war powers. Congress can subpoena. Congress can investigate.

This resurfaces and again, highly credible and under-reported by the big political press: people.com/former-miss-...

A group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers is coming together to investigate political corruption and law enforcement violence that it says is being ignored by the Trump DOJ. "The rule of law is on life support, but it's all of our responsibility to make sure it doesn't die."

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"

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...

“Trump’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory.” - Barack Obama in Ohio.

Reporters need to stop tolerating this abuse from this man.

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Trump won this county by 45 points. But they showed up for James Talarico 🔥

Donald Trump canceled his scheduled Oct. 16 deposition in his lawsuit against the BBC because of "matters of national importance." The BBC alerts the judge that those matters were: a rally in Dalton, Ga. and a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

17 days to go, Northwest Georgia! We can settle for more of the same or elect leadership that puts this district first. Early voting is now underway! Make your plan and be ready. This district deserves better. Together, we will deliver it. Leadership Matters! #GA14

Really speaks to the impotence of Congress that the president thinks he can simply sign an executive order invalidating a law that Congress passed -- and he signed -- just a few months ago. At worst, SCOTUS might slap his hand months or years from now -- well after the damage has been done.

Michael, why are you sharing pictures of you smiling and posing with violent criminals? Is it okay if they’re Proud Boys? We’d love an explanation for this one, @michael.e.gates It doesn’t seem very “law and order” of you @abc7la.bsky.social @voiceofoc.bsky.social @ocregister.bsky.social

What if hostile foreign governments were able to control social network algorithms in the United States, suppressing information vital to our survival as a democracy? That would be so weird.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."
