Opinion | "We don’t agree with all her plans — some are indeed radical, others cost-prohibitive — but we also see Kiros as an agent for change who will use her power to push for a better tomorrow."

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...

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.

Ken Paxton’s records do not show a business purpose for travel to Albania, Aruba, Australia, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, the Dominican Republic, England, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Mexico, Poland, South Africa or Taiwan. with @texastribune.org
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.

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."

1/ This @propublica.org story is just gobsmacking. As table stakes: why does a family of billionaires need help paying for weddings? And why would they accept from Russian oligarch with ties to Putin and FSB? www.propublica.org/article/dona...

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.
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."

#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

Though Trump has refused to say where the tariff-free beef is coming from, the specifics of global beef trade point directly to Brazil as the primary source.
