So, saw “Musk” yesterday in south Denver. Theater was full, though it was a small one. I’d forgotten about the Tesla battery-swap scam, but nothing else was news to me.

The hardest part was seeing it all condensed into 4 hours. He really struggles to pull off being human; it’s like he doesn’t really know how to move or talk or just be. I’m sure some of it is due to being on the spectrum, but the utter lack of empathy and inflated sense of self is glaring.

This is a disgrace, and it directly impacts our military readiness. Some 1,300 Navy family members were evacuated from Bahrain during the Iran war. Months later, families are still displaced, separated from loved ones, struggling financially, and waiting for answers. #SupportTheTroops 🧵

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...

He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to President Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

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.

This looks like a carjacking. I’d panic too.

ICE is a completely unsalvageable organization. To the extent that we need a police agency to enforce immigration laws, it should be reconstituted from scratch under the Department of Justice. Everyone employed at ICE needs to be summarily fired on Day 1 on a new Democratic administration.

Every day more instances of disgusting & blatant corruption revealed as our money is being plundered by the Trump Crime Family & their cronies. Do American voters care anymore about corruption? I guess we’ll find out soon because it’s just staggering with this crew of criminals.

Good. Justice needs to prevail.

NEW: After a week of intensifying public pressure and reporting from Cornell’s independent daily newspaper, prosecutors in New York have reopened a criminal investigation into the alleged 2024 gang rape of a former student at the campus’s Chi Phi fraternity house.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle. "The state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen."

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

Democrats should be at the microphone right now noting that this is a Hatch Act violation that they'll be pursuing in January. I don't care that the nation's become numb to this shit. It's still illegal and if Democrats should run against it and then act to crush it.

Honestly, I'd say the most disastrous decisions of Obama and Biden were not really holding anyone accountable for crimes committed under the previous administration. Obama wanted to "turn the page" on Iraq and the financial meltdown while Biden never put any urgency behind the January 6th cases

What was the most disastrous decision from the most recent presidents that had effects we feel today? Clinton: Lying under oath and getting away with it (paved way for Trump) Bush: Iraq Obama: Syria and Libya Trump I: Covid and pulling out of JCPOA Biden: Running again Trump II: Iran

Imagine an American president lying about 9/11. Actually, you don’t have to.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

Hello, BlueSky. We’re a group of former campaign & Senate staffers for John Fetterman who are disgusted with what he's become. If you were troubled by yesterday's Wall Street Journal story... trust us, that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's even worse than you thought.

#LA04 voters, instead of addressing successful policies by republicans (of which there are none), republicans like Mike Johnson are reaching for boogey man words like socialism & communism to deflect from their failures. Elect democrat Conrad Cable or Matthew Gromlich for real representation!

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

I wonder why 90 days. Couldn’t be because the midterms are in… 74 days, right? Right? Apparently communist price controls are fine when you’re trying to get votes. Who knew?

In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg leaked The Pentagon Papers exposing the lies told to the public about the disastrous Viet Nam war, forever becoming a hero in history. Now... someone PLEASE leak #TheEPSTEINFiles & end the biggest coverup scandal of all-time! 🙏
