I doubt I'm the only one who thinks the State Dept ordering all non-emergency US personnel to leave Saudi Arabia is a clear signal Trump has decided again to bomb Iran, mid-terms or no.

NEWS: Robert De Niro delivers a blistering rebuke of Trump and the Supreme Court in a new video condemning threats to voting rights. “I’ve got a message for them: no f**king way.” He urges Americans to vote early and protect their right to vote. Watch.

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

He didn't send agents after a criminal. He sent them after a Congresswoman who talks back. On the eve of an election. That's not law enforcement — that's an abuse of power with a badge. We stand with Ilhan Omar.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

A strong, intelligent righteous woman who hold sevil accountable. No wonder tRUMP hates (is terrified of) her!

She fought apartheid, defended Nelson Mandela, and helped change how the world prosecutes sexual violence. Today, at 85, Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. What an extraordinary woman. 💜 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

The White House accord on AI that was signed by all the big tech oligarchs today misspells United States as “Unites States.”

That cocky, misplaced look of smug success on Senator Eric Schmitt’s face—moments before everything came crashing down around him because he’s so carelessly incompetent.

“As a shareholder, Alito has been warned that climate deception lawsuits pose financial risks to his investments. As a Supreme Court Justice, he has been told how Suncor v. Boulder can prevent those lawsuits from advancing, removing the risk to his investments,” said @consumerwatchdog.bsky.social

Justice Alito must recuse from Suncor v. Boulder @consumerwatchdog.bsky.social says. Alito was warned climate deception lawsuits like Boulder's could adversely affect his investments in Big Oil companies. “Under the Supreme Court’s own Code of Conduct, Alito should recuse.”

Trump misstating and touting a meaningless deal over Greenland, while the entire Middle East security architecture falls apart due to his own actions, is emblematic of this administration’s foreign policy.

The War on Terror began 25 years ago today, when Congress passed the post-9/11 Authorization for Use of Military Force. Only one member of Congress had the courage and foresight to oppose this blank check for forever wars: Barbara Lee.
