Think about the impact of 10yrs of FOX pushing Trump and X for 3 yrs pushing propaganda that would make Goebbels blush.Think about how that now 18yr old approached the election and you understand the danger the nation is in from establishing an Orban like machinery that guarantees Trump power #Trump

Every vote lost from a key voting constituency…..every vote. It’s a suicide mission, no one is surviving #Trump #dems #election #midterms

When Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina in 2024, hundreds of households lost the private bridges they rely on to access their homes. Two years later, only 44 bridges have been rebuilt by the state, and many are frustrated by a state program’s progress. nyti.ms/47M1xCb

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

When we insist on voting in people who have spent their whole lives living on the 80th floor of a tower of concrete and steel, don’t be surprised they have not a care in the world for nature or the environment. #Trump

One of The best takedowns of the Trump administration happened on Face the Nation: Margaret Brennan: “in this country, the state is responsible for administering elections.” Todd Blanche: em, em, em … #Trump

Trump's waiver of energy sanctions on Russia has an even darker, more corrupt, side that initially thought. Trump is planning to allow a Russian energy giant to control a big chunk of energy exports from Alaska. Trump and his cronies profit; America loses. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

This is explosive. In the Witkoff/Kushner discussions with the Kremlin with respect to the sale to a Trump-backed consortium of LUKoil's foreign assets, Trump has offered a slice of his big Alaska project to a Russian major close to Putin. The structure is designed to entangle US investments

Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

Italian truckers protesting high fuel prices have prevented deliveries to parts of southern Italy, leading to widespread shortages at gas pumps and grocery stores. The truckers say they have no choice, blaming the government for failing to shield them from the spikes in fuel cost.

We thought Mueller would expose him but Barr stepped in, or Jack Smith would indict him but Cannon stepped in, or Congress would impeach and convict him but McConnell stepped in, or the judiciary would stop him but SCOTUS stepped in. It’s up to us, we must step in & stop him!

The US military fired roughly 19 years’ worth of Patriot interceptor purchases in just seven months of Trump’s Iran War, the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimates.

AI won’t destroy society in the way you think, but it will destroy society. When there exists millions of people who have no careers, lack purpose and nothing to strive for, society will irreparably break down. I don’t think people are prepared for what’s coming #AI

Putin has bought Trump with Russian diesel. Just before the US elections. Meanwhile, Russia keeps killing our children while they sleep at night. So Americans are now funding Russia’s war machine? I’m sorry, guys, but WHAT A FUCKING DISGRACE.

Trump: "I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November ... "

Not enough people are talking about the level of violence coming from and being deployed by the Trump regime. The parallels with totalitarian states is utter terrifying. Ice deaths, executions, bombing boats, public executions, secret internment camps. #Trump

Here's a map of how iron ore mined in Minnesota moves (the red lines). Note the markers for where steel facilities are located, they're where they are because you have to move the stuff on ships. There are no steel mills in Iowa of any size because you can't get the fucking stuff it's made of there

Exclusive: President Trump will announce a Minnesota company’s plan to build a $15 billion steel mill in Iowa, as he looks to counter voter frustration with the economy ahead of the midterm elections.

This is why I have no faith in Speaker Jeffries leadership nor that Dems will be united to get Trumps impeachment moving. Two Dems voted with republicans to approve Russia sanctions but the bill also gives Trump tariff authority #donaldtrump #Democrats

No matter the dispute between the U.S. and Canada, today, my thoughts are with all those who lost loved ones during 9/11. A despicable and heinous act that must never be forgotten . May their memories live on. #911 #Newyork #donaldtrump #Mandami #Canada

Trumps furious with Carney because our inflation is lower, our interest rates are lower and we are selling bonds that look more attractive. He really hates being shown up. I expect his furry to reach boiling point and he may do something nuclear on our economy #Trump #Canada

Remember when erdogan over ruled his finance people and even though inflation was raging he told them to lower interest rates and the currency almost became worthless #Trump

This is all kinds of crazy There is so much bullshit and lies in this one post, we don't where to begin. He's threatening other countries, he's threatening his own new Fed Chair.

I actually can’t stop laughing. Republicans have just realised the grifter in chief who scammed crypto investors, scammed phone buyers and watch buyers isn’t planning on spending the $900miilion he has grifted from donors but plans to keep it for himself. Hahahaa. #Trump

EKWUEME: “.. The deficit is growing more than 3x as fast as tax receipts. .. The only way the US can ‘solve’ its debt problem is by suppressing rates and letting the resulting inflation destroy the dollar, thereby reducing the real burden of its debt.”
