I keep saying this: Stephen Miller is trying hard to preemptively scapegoat someone ELSE in case the GOP loses Texas. But they're naming him by name. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

"Both top-shelf reporting and top officials in the Trump administration, including Trump himself, have said that Musk made this decision on his own. That would be treason. The traditional way to figure out the truth of such a matter is with a trial." prospect.org/2026/10/26/d...

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

Donald Trump was heading towards his helipad when he suddenly stopped to acknowledge a nonexistent crowd. trib.al/z9cawI1

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

ICE is brutalizing Americans. And Trump’s mass deportation scheme is worsening the affordability crisis. www.thequeenzone.com/ice-is-sipho...

An American student with a disability is suffering from a broken wrist and a black eye after ICE wrongfully tackled and detained him in Santa Maria. Americans didn’t ask to be brutalized by ICE. They sure as hell shouldn’t be paying for its actions with broken limbs.

They contradict Trump officials' insistence that — as required by law — immigration judges serve as independent arbiters of justice. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Trump's DOJ told a judge how to rule. Then it pulled her from court. Karen Donoso Stevens' allegations, which she's sharing publicly because of her deep concern for the court's integrity, were corroborated by contemporaneous notes as well as colleagues, family and attorneys interviewed by WaPo.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

Speaking of narcissists… Elon seems panicked his hundreds of millions to beat @jamestalarico are going up in expensive flames… 🔥 💰

President Trump temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether. Our investigative reporter Eric Lipton explains how corporate interests took power inside the EPA. Read more: nyti.ms/4il3336

More than 200 complaints regarding sexual violence at schools have been filed with the Education Department since the start of Trump’s second term. The department has investigated only 29 of these, finding fault with a school district only once.

Trump White House attorneys are evaluating whether to issue mass pardons to junior staffers — as Trump allies press the administration to protect lower-ranked officials from prosecution and other legal challenges, according to two sources familiar with the conversations.

You don’t say…..

The Wall Street Journal earlier this week reported that Musk in fact ordered internet speeds to slow down, and discussed the decision with Trump ahead of time. trib.al/XUsVHd8

The Trump administration is expanding exemptions of tariffs on some Canadian products, a move that may help boost Republican Senator Susan Collins’ reelection campaign in Maine.

Everyone has kind of laughed it off but there’s actually now an official investigation by multiple organizations into why my US election ballot hasn’t been released from US customs in a month without any explanation.

Trump very carefully waddles down the Marine One stairs, then zig-zags his way to the Qatari bribe plane before Natalie Harp boards with her giant bag #TravelWithNatalie

The BBC is doing something important, refusing to be intimidated by a powerful person trying to use the legal system to punish criticism and discourage scrutiny. They’re schooling the American press on what the 1st Amendment means. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-bbc-st...

BREAKING: President Trump must sit for a deposition in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC by Dec. 11, a judge orders.

BREAKING NYT: A billionaire wanted a Trump pardon. His family gave Alina Habba a $50 million deal. Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Habba, a lawyer close to Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

For more than 40 years, the U.S. Arctic Research Commission has advised Congress and the president on what to study in the far north. Trump appointed a venture capitalist and MAGA influencer with no formal science background — and ties to Russia — as its chair.

The fight to the death between Alina Habba and Ric Grenell gets more and more scandalous every day. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

“.. They offered her $10 million a year for four years along with a range of bonuses. .. At the time, Ms. Habba was also a senior adviser to Attorney General Pam Bondi, overseeing U.S. attorneys.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

The fact that Amy Acton was removed from her mother’s care and went on to obtain an MD and flourish in public health makes her even more of a hero in my eyes. This type of trauma never really goes away. Yet when there was a fork in the road, she chose the one where she helps others. Hero.

I do think Acton should go as hard as possible on this. "Elon Musk is paying millions of dollars to bombard your TV with lies by a rapist pedophile and his insane enabler wife. Don't let him win."

Trump: "Russia is not helping Iran" Iran:

In 2024, Ken Paxton sued Texas cities to block the legalization of marijuana. He has received over $350,000 from Big Beer and alcohol, an industry aiming to block the legalization of marijuana.

Energy Secretary Wright is campaigning with Ken Paxton today in Texas. A reminder that government officials partaking in campaign events should not be normal.

Trump wanted someone who looked and sounded like the defense secretary he imagined—a living cartoon warrior, as opposed to a military professional with a demonstrated record of managing a vast institution. trib.al/2qGVZse

After the Trump administration dismissed scientists behind a key national climate report last year, some of them decided they’d keep working on it — but from outside the government.

BREAKING: President Trump has repeatedly claimed that Democrats are cheating by allowing noncitizens to vote. But the poster child of Monday’s voter fraud sweep — who the DOJ alleges was illegally registered to vote in L.A. — is a registered Republican lamaterial.com/p/voter-frau...

Incentivizing Trump voters to call in their suspicions about about black and brown people? What's the worst that could happen?

This weekend, there was an attempted assassination of a Democratic congressman by a Christian Nationalist assassin in a Hindu temple in Aurora, and the US corporate media decided it really wasn't a reportable event, because... well, because it was bad news for the Republicans in an election cycle.

Donald Trump has abandoned the Western order, turning America into a Russian ally, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

"Ukraine is not anyone's to give. This war is about Ukrainians wanting to decide their own future." Dr Fiona Hill, former advisor to the White House on Russia, delivering the latest Lord Speaker's lecture to a packed room @houseoflords.parliament.uk My thanks to Lord Ahmad for chairing.

Rubio on a potential Trump-Putin-Xi meeting: "People need to grow up when it comes to foreign policy a little bit, okay? I don't think it's unusual...That should be something the world is enthused by."

The Trump administration is now allowing Alaska hunters to lure bears with bacon grease-soaked donuts before killing them at close range.

🤔

Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine."

Outstanding. More of this, please. Elon Musk is a white nationalist troll using the billions he made off government contracts to destroy this nation. Light. Him. Up.
