El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

Trump has a new scheme to bribe farmers in swing states with welfare checks of taxpayer money because fuel has gone up so much because of his war. But only money for them, not for anyone else in the country. No, we have to keep paying higher prices AND we pay Trump’s voters.

Here is a compilation of Trump falling asleep during daytime events

If we tax Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires appropriately, every child in America can have healthcare, education, and a well funded social safety net instead of some racist billionaire’s pathetic pr stunt

a norwegian on Threads posted this and i just don’t know how much more clearly we can emphasize how much Americans are being ripped off by our system which is built to concentrate wealth at the top

Meta claims it was all a big whoopsie that No Kings organizers were locked out of their accounts as the protests began today

Larry Ellison’s TikTok has shut down the promotional account for Alex Gibney’s Elon Musk documentary. www.theverge.com/tech/1013453...

Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries had no impact on US diesel prices, ISW data shows. Diesel stayed below $4/gallon until the US–Israeli attack on Iran on Feb 28, then soared to $6.53 by Sep 21. #Trump nevertheless blamed Ukraine and demanded it halt refinery strikes.

Elon Musk is now using his control of SpaceX, a US government contractors, to wage his own private foreign policy which is directly at odds with US government policy and instead supports a mortal adversary. This, in a word, is treason.

The most corrupt and unethical president in US history by far.

Trump earlier this year: Kimberly Guilfoyle has been my friend for a long time. I love calling her Kimberlay. That’s my little pet name, right? I hope you come back here in 12 years or whenever the term ends. Trump today: She was not a member of my family. I guess she dated my son a long time ago.

Massive US defense contractor and Republicans' largest donor (by far) follows Trump in support of Russia over Europe, authoritarianism over democracy, petrostate over capitalism. Seems like this is a problem for US?

wife: honey, can you read to the baby? husband: grok, do a vulgar roast of the baby grok: hello baby, your mind is not fully developed yet husband: no, more vulgar, use a gilbert gottfried voice

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.

Not sure if the point of Angela Paxton’s video was to cause people to search Angela Paxton’s name only to find out that she helped facilitate Ken Paxton’s corruption for many years before ultimately filing to divorce him on “biblical grounds”, but that’s what happened.

Hawaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

But ice cream shops can’t give a free cone to someone with an “I voted” sticker

Trump’s insider trading is, on its own, the worst corruption scandal in US history, with $$$ dwarfing Teapot Dome. So are Trump’s bribes-for-pardons. So is the Qatar bribe plane. So is all the Saudi money he (and Kushner) have pocketed. And the ballroom. And more. Each alone would be the worst.

I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

MAGA Farmers Right Now

We don’t spend enough time talking about just how WEIRD all these people are. This is just an incredibly weird and insecure thing to say. Imagine any other SecDef ever being this weird and insecure?!

Let this sink in. Cornell University refused to refund Jane Doe's tuition the semester she was raped. Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college.

Trump: Sleepy Joe Biden, have you heard of him? *a few moments later* Trump: 😴😴😴

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Ossoff: "What did they spend the most political capital trying to do over the last 18 months? Cover up the Epstein files. They worked harder to cover up the Epstein files than they ever did to lower grocery prices."

They kicked people off healthcare to pay for the war. https://bit.ly/4AjGDr0

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

woah if true

Here’s what’s happened to food safety under Trump and RFK Jr.

Once again, this was how the Economist characterized the American economy on Election Day in 2024. We had a country on the brink of stunning success, but the Republicans knee-capped it with trade wars and real wars of their own choosing.

Folks… what this campaign is about is pretty simple.

"The mainstream media, is, unsurprisingly, not covering itself in glory as it struggles to avoid saying that either the president’s brain has completely left the station or that he’s a mendacious liar who knows no bounds, or both."
