I keep hearing about the tens of billions with a B of dollars that are being funneled into midterm races. It makes me sick to my stomach. Just imagine how all that money could be used to actually help people. We need campaign finance reform. Citizens United needs to be reversed.

I always thought that a diary is a place for one to put in writing his/her innermost, personal thoughts. What right did Rand Paul have to release pages in Dr. Fauci’s diary?

On the news that the Trump DOJ set up a $1.776 billion slush fund mainly to pay off J6’ers who brutally beat Michael Fanone & other police officers, Fanone is receiving numerous death threats from hateful people who think they could kill Mike and get rewarded for it. Shameful & insane.

Fetterman strikes again. He’s the only Democrat to vote against the War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump and his illegal war in Iran. How does he sleep at night?

For weeks, we’ve had 24/7 coverage of the Iran “excursion.” For the past two days, we’ve had 24/7 coverage of the WHCD “assassination attempt.” The GOP calling for the gaudy ballroom to be built as a safe place. Interesting distraction.

According to JD Vance, the Pope should be careful when discussing matters of theology. What an arrogant putz! Does he not know that theology is the Pope’s area of expertise? Additionally, the Pope was quoting the Beatitudes. “Blessed are the peacemakers.”

Bravo Ryan Clark and other NFL players for decrying the warped ads the administration is running to promote war!

I just saw a report that John Cornyn has changed his position on eliminating the filibuster to pass the outrageous Save America Act. This is an attempt to win Trump’s endorsement in his senate race. Way to prostitute himself! The guy is 74. Why doesn’t he retire and enjoy life?

Hegseth reminds me of my brothers playing with their toy army men when they were boys, or my son and his friends playing video games like “Call to Duty.” What a juvenile schmuck.

I’ve been listening to Brian Tyler Cohen’s interview of President Obama. Obama is so bright, articulate and when appropriate, funny. I sure do miss having a POTUS like him.

WAPO reports that DHS is going to spend over $38 billion with a “b” of taxpayer money to covert industrial warehouses into internment centers for undocumented immigrants. We have no money for healthcare, but we do for concentration camps. I wonder who will benefit. Let that sink in.

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Pam Bondi should remember this. Her theatrical performance today before the Judiciary Committee was a disgrace. She acted like a junior high mean girl, not the chief law enforcement official in the US.

Now, the federal government is arresting independent journalists In Minneapolis for covering the protests. This is unacceptable. Are we now living in Russia or North Korea? We’re only allowed to believe the lies of the administration rather than what we can see with our own eyes? Enough!

Trump once again embarrassed the US in Davos. He gave a rambling speech filled with lies. His delusions and lack of knowledge were on full display. I just about flipped when he said that NATO has never done anything for the US. My God! The only time Article V was invoked was after 9/11 to help us.

Asked about the Walz/Frey investigation, Blanche said: “You saw the governor and the mayor actively encouraging criminals to go out on the street and impede ICE. That is not allowed under our law.” I must be living in an alternate universe. I heard Walz & Frey tell people to be peaceful. 🤦🏻

Trump threatens Iran for cracking down on protesters, while his goons invade Minneapolis/St. Paul and other blue cities in blue states to among other acts of terror, quash protests. The lack of self-awareness is incredible.

We are asking community to please submit any photo or videos so we may collect and preserve as much evidence as possible. www.hennepinattorney.org/news/news/20...

FOLKS IN MINNEAPOLIS: SAVE all videos & photos from today. They will be valuable to prove the ICE agent --- who had time to move & re-position himself to the side of the victim's car to shoot into the driver's side window --- was not in reasonable fear of imminent serious physical injury or death.

This new video angle 100% does not support the claims of ICE and Noem. This is murder and the chief of police should arrest the federal officer as such.

Please share this vide widely. Flood the internet with it. It disproves statements by DHS and Noem.

Captain Bonespurs, who never served in the military, has become the Imperial Leader. He’s recklessly putting the lives of our military, CIA and the Venezuelans in great danger. In addition, Venezuela does have the capability to strike American targets. Very concerning.

Thanks to Canada, the “60 Minutes” episode on the detention of Venezuelans in CECOT that Bari Weiss pulled, is able to be viewed. It is so disturbing to think that the US did such a disgusting, inhumane thing to these men. It makes me ashamed. I cannot support this in any way.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

RJ Matson’s cartoon is spot on.

The Trump administration is blowing up boats in the Caribbean claiming without evidence that they are drug smugglers. Meanwhile, Trump pardons Juan Hernandez, former president of Honduras, who actually was convicted of drug trafficking. You can’t make up this 💩.

Trump promised to end all wars, when he was campaigning. Now, he’s threatening war with Venezuela and Nigeria on false pretenses. Both countries have huge oil reserves. Hmmm.

The U.S. Coast Guard no longer considers the swastika a hate symbol.😡 My father, a WWII veteran, is turning over in his grave.

Trump was having a “let them eat cake” moment last night at Mar-a-Lago. While federal workers are furloughed w/o pay or working w/o pay, SNAP recipients go hungry and healthcare premiums skyrocket, the orange menace and his sycophants had a Great Gatsby Halloween party. Champagne, anyone?😡

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open. We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

I just got a notice today from the provider of my Medicare Supplement that my premiums will be going up by $54.11/month effective 11/1. That’s $649.32/yr. My plan D prescription coverage also is going up by $8.20/mo. I can’t express how pleased I am that Trump’s GOP passed the big, beautiful bill.🤦🏻😡

I never thought I’d see the day when I was on the same page as Marjorie Taylor Green, Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert, but I give them credit for supporting the survivors of Epstein.

I watched about two minutes of an interview of Mike Johnson on ABC this morning (all I could stomach). The questions were regarding RFK, Jr. and the CDC and MAHA. During every answer, Johnson looked down and to the left - body language indicating he was lying. Big surprise! I hope we survive.

They have downgraded her sex offender status to move her to a minimum security facility. The next logical step is a commutation or a pardon. If you have any information on that, my Signal is in my bio. I'll keep you anonymous as always. Please share widely 🙏 www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Wait a damn minute! Shouting lies from the podium doesn’t make them facts. It just makes you loud and wrong. Watch as @katiephang.bsky.social exposes the lies. Then share these posts and spread these facts…online and offline. Together, we can shut down Don’s dangerous disinformation machine.

'Hidden' Provision in Trump's Big Bill Could Disarm US Supreme Court https://twp.ai/4imoV4

I’m absolutely sick over the state of our government. Several House members admitted that they did not have time to read the 1100 pages of the “big, beautiful bill” for which they voted. How is this doing their job? Keeping Trump happy is not in the job description.😡

For over a week, Signalgate was in the news nonstop. This week, Trump announces his asinine tariffs and poof! Signalgate disappears and tariffs are in the news nonstop. The stock market has been schizophrenic and Congress does nothing.

Trump announces record tariffs yesterday that will have a negative effect on the consumer. The markets reacted as expected-Down!! So what does Trump do today? He goes to Mar-a-Lago on the taxpayers’ dime for a golf tournament.😡

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Good on the Democratic Governors for releasing the following statement: “Democratic governors, along with millions of Americans, stand united with the Ukrainian people.” LFG people and show we stand with Ukraine & President Zelensky 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 #SlavaUkraini #NAFO @demgovs.org

This temporary halt allows the Office of Special Counsel to further investigate their claims of unlawful termination. If you have been fired, take action now! File an appeal within 30 days by submitting your case online or by mail to protect your rights.

@joyannreid.bsky.social I’m so disappointed that MSNBC is canceling The Reid Out. I watch you every evening and really enjoy how you report serious issues with grace, truth and humor. I hope to see you on another show soon.
