Republicans should ditch the elephant and just use a silhouette of a man chasing a little girl as their party symbol.

Jon Husted’s Big Oil donors are profiting from the Iran war that Husted voted 14 times to continue. As Ohioans pay record high prices at the gas pump, Husted donors like Exxon and Chevron are reporting record high profits.

This is what made Trump change his mind about livestreaming his snuff video for free. He figured he could put it on pay-per-view instead.

This is the same editorial board who endorsed him, claiming he’s too stupid and lazy to do any real damage. Who looks stupid and lazy now?

WSJ Editorial Board: “Mr. Trump may not appreciate the anger he’s courting if he keeps aiding Mr. Putin. When the election is over there needs to be a bipartisan reckoning for Mr. Trump’s budding alliance with the Kremlin against Ukraine, Europe and American interests” www.wsj.com/opinion/to-r...

New in PN: The GOP parade of horribles "This isn't a problem from which the GOP will free itself. Even if Trump withdraws quietly to Mar-a-Lago (unlikely), he's given birth to a generation of R politicians who want to be like him, or worse. And he's trained R voters to expect that from candidates."

Trump: "I made $72 billion on TikTok! You know who number one on TikTok is? Trump. Remember? Trump. I'm number one. Can you believe it? Taylor Swift is 19. They just sent out the ratings."

“I made billions on TikTok and you guys are trying to figure out if you can afford hamburger meat or gas for your car this week! I’m number one!”

“Where’s James Talarico?” they screamed when he took 12 days off the campaign trail due to the flu. Yet they remained silent when Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ) was absent for four months and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) missed more than three months.

Have you ever seen any other administration spend this much time on TV talking about things not in their wheel house? The entire administration is nothing but TV whores!

Just flagging that the two Trump admin staffers now running Oval Office operations who were allegedly involved in mishandling classified documents last term also got $20k and $45k in cash gifts from Trump last year.

Trump: "The big problem is refineries in Russia are being blown up. This isn't really a Middle Eastern problem, this is a Russia problem, that Ukraine & Russia are going at it & Ukraine is blowing up diesel refineries. I told to President Zelenskyy, 'You gotta take it easy on the refineries.'"

This just reeks of desperation.

This fix will stop Trump's wave of destruction — by obliterating him

NEW: ProPublica’s reporting reveals for the first time the extent of the White House’s role in trying to dictate how mail-in ballots are processed, spurring behind-the-scenes drama that played out for nearly a year.

The Atlantic (gift link) 'How Biden Averted a War With Iran' “The Situation Room connected the call. Biden jumped in. “Bibi, man, what the fuck are you doing?” He gripped the phone tight. “You think I’m Santa Claus? No Santa in Israel, pal.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Please share the information about Oleshky everywhere you can! ​Russia is starving residents of the town and nearby villages by denying food supplies and evacuation. People in Oleshky need help, or else they won't survive the winter!

The idiot in chief is now using the national security angle for .. his arch? AYFKM? He is insane And completely out of control

Boykin: The Republicans control the entire government. They control the white house. They control the house. They control the senate. They control six of the nine seats on the supreme court. If you're not happy with the way the country is running America, blame the Republicans.

Among the people who targeted Magistrate Judge Douglas Micko after Harmeet Dhillon attacked him were Jack Posobiec, Brandon Straka, and Libs of Tik Tok -- all of whom have a history of ginning up mobs. emptywheel.net/2026/09/17/h...

Kind of wonder what else will Trump threaten to destroy if he doesn’t get to put his name on it.

USPS reps should be thrown into jail for contempt of court.

In a recent declaration, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) told a federal judge that, during the week of Sept. 6, it expected to launch an online portal that’s crucial to enforcing and complying with its new mail voting restrictions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

How is the Trump Administration going to govern the 2030 decennial census, when the Trump Administration ends at noon on January 20, 2029 and the U.S Census Bureau won't began hiring temporary field staff and enumerators until around February and March of 2030?

It is obvious. Russia Russia Russiagate happened and is happening. The Epstein Files are Linked!!

An American Airlines flight from Dallas to Newark was forced to divert Thursday night after a passenger allegedly launched into a violent, slur-filled outburst that ended with fellow travelers duct-taping him to his seat.

When these Army generals and their staff refer to him as "No Tab Pete," they're calling out his performative masculinity. They're saying he's a little bitch. He didn't have the guts to attend these schools. He's weak. He's not a warrior. No Tab Pete. Delicious.

He definitely has unpaid bar tabs, however

States move ballot redesigns to odd-numbered years for a reason...It takes that long Trump wanted it done in 60 days, in every jurisdiction in America Our expert said impossible & today the court agreed @campaignlegal.org & @democracydefendersfund.org for @lulacorg.bsky.social👇 -TN

Google wasted no time complying with Trump’s “Lake America” order. That's no surprise, considering its track record.

WHAT IF the only people left gatekeeping the senile old man with his finger on the nuclear trigger were the guy who was ousted from the White House in the first term bc he was too close to Russia and the guy who may have conspired w/them in 2016-2017? www.semafor.com/article/08/3...

I understand the rhetorical impulse but I find it very tedious to always frame everything as "imagine how a future Dem president could abuse this power" as if the fact that the power is currently being abused by the most corrupt and anti-constitutional president in American history isn't bad enough.

Hegseth is a garbage person for many reasons but top of the list is he's a literal murderer who should spend the rest of his life in prison. That's not to minimize his many other offenses but I do think it's worth keeping in mind the obnoxious hateful buffoon is first and foremost a serial killer.

Worth a listen. “If I was gonna stage a coup in 2028…”

While struggling with the Reflecting Pool, Trump now takes his talents to aircraft carrier engineering.

Too bad that the New York Times' Eric Lipton doesn't realize how embarrassing this post is. No, Eric, I don't find it "surprising" that you prioritize access over honesty.

Davey Hearn was hit w/ a felony over failing paint the gov's own engineer flagged 8 days earlier Now @raskin.house.gov wants every doc. behind that decision, including the grand jury transcripts We welcome any oversight that seeks the truth More @washingtonpost.com👇 -TN

Social Security’s top champion, Rep. Larson, wants to ensure people can live out their lives with dignity. Larson’s Social Security 2100 Act will make millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share into the most significant insurance program the nation has ever had. @johnlarsonct.bsky.social

There's something uniquely despicable about lying a nation into war.

Lake Mead lowest ever. Siberia hits 90. Vienna 105. Northwest on fire. Ocean heat record. Nothing to see here folks.

Four weeks later, the Trump admin approved a tariff exemption for diamonds from Belgium, a country with a sordid history of exploitation and financial shenanigans, raising serious questions of international influence-buying. It's being called a "cartoonish bribe." www.rawstory.com/trump-bribe-...
