Do yourself a favor and watch a bunch of these Obama clips from his rally today in Ohio. He is on fire, just the energy we need.

New York State Attorney General Letitia James has been named the special prosecutor by Gov. Kathy Hochul to investigate the Cornell 7. In other words: they are FUCKED fucked.

At least 56 people have died in ICE custody during Trump’s second term. According to ICE’s internal reviews, detention staff did not provide sufficient medical care to at least six of those detainees. ICE has now taken down those reviews from its website. What other cruelty is ICE trying to hide?

If ashli babbitt's family can get $5 million after she literally broke into the Capitol to overturn an election, Renee Good's family should get at least triple that for ICE agents murdering her in the damn street.

Donald Trump is using the U.S. treasury and our tax dollars like it’s his personal piggy bank. And just like he squandered hundreds of millions given to him by dear old dad, he’s squandering our money now.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Interviews with more than 30 current and former employees reveal the agency is now tightly controlled by Mr. Kennedy and his associates, and its scientists are finding it increasingly difficult to do their jobs effectively. (Some spoke on the condition of anonymity because of a fear of retaliation.)

So fuc*ing infuriating and sad. The CDC used to be the crown jewel of the world's scientific firmament. Other countries came to us for help fighting deadly diseases. Its disease detectives learned what caused illness and helped change practices to prevent them. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

nbcnews.comAmerica had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of Thom Tillis and John Cornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country. Todd Blanche should be impeached, not confirmed.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

🚨🚨 So ICE removed all Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's personal effects--wallet, phone, etc--after shooting him before they put him in an ambulance. Is that normal law enforcement practice? Or does it suggest a coverup or attempt to manage information was underway from the beginning?

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Juan Proaño on the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo: The family is demanding the release of Lorenzo’s body. It has been complicated because they removed all of his personal identifying information before they put him in the ambulance. That required the hospital to admit him as a John Doe.

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

I heard an MS NOW reporter describe GOP resistance to Ukraine aid as “isolationist.” But when you see Republicans plunge the U.S. into a Mideast war, steal Venezuelan oil and blow up boats in international waters, it’s clear that over-all GOP policy is not isolationist. It is, however, pro-Putin.
