JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

Trump has worked around the clock to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies at the expense of the American people — we're not going to let him get away with it. This corrupt administration will be held accountable.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Hell of a first day, Katie

MAGA wants to deport anyone who overstayed a student visa. Their favorite billionaire reportedly did exactly that.

Zelensky on bombing the Russian data centers: “It’s pretty clear where the bots were coming from.”

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.

"There is no excuse for this and you know why I’m furious right now,” the judge said. “I was hearing from plaintiff’s side that this was going to happen and I said ‘no’ repeatedly, ‘I trust the government.’ I trusted you all repeatedly to not do what you have done...” www.ms.now/news/you-did...

"The 2.25m barrels of diesel Putin offered Trump will have zero net impact on the world price of diesel. But accepting them will collapse the US-led sanctions regime on Russia—and align Trump with Putin against Ukraine's attacks on Russian energy production..." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

If Congress doesn’t act, Social Security benefits are on track be cut in 2032. Not on my watch. We must protect Social Security by lifting the cap so that those with the highest incomes pay the same share as everyone else.

Loser. Traitor.

🔥 @katiephang.bsky.social (With Deniro behind her): “I’m suing A.G. Todd Blanche — Trump’s cosplaying personal lawyer — for the unredacted Epstein files… as an independent journo 🗣️ I don’t have a corporate oligarch telling me what to say… Trump has been violating federal law every day.”

who the fuck cares what he has to say??

I don't mean to make waves or anything, but as a journalist, I am definitely opposed to the president talking about arresting journalists.

Katie Phang: "Todd Blanche wants to continue to hide the Epstein files from the American people. He wants to allow the existing redactions and withholdings to stand as a matter of law. He's saying what he has done is legally sufficient. And I am here to say, hell no, it is not."

Trump administration accused of pushing ‘plainly illegal’ taxpayer-funded ads to promote president

The GOP ship is taking on water and everybody's jumping. 🐀🐀🐀 Meanwhile Dan Sullivan's still on deck, waving a flag, because he's so far up Trump's a$$ Alaska's junior senator can taste what he had for breakfast. Stay on the ship, Dan. We'll wave. 👋 #VOTEEarly #Oct19 #AlaskaSky

WSJ Exclusive: The Trump admin used federal funds from the Department of Homeland Security to finance those controversial pro-Trump ads that started airing on TV. The taxpayer money used to fund the ads came from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

“When the Trump Administration converts taxpayer money to use for partisan hype-pieces, it not only affronts the law, but it inevitably leads to the diversion of taxpayer funds from important government programs that support the American public.” More on Trump’s corrupt propaganda campaign ⬇️

He named names. Both parties. An insider’s road map to corruption in Congress. ProPublica corroborated much of what he said about Susan Collins. The FBI probe died under Trump. Congress must investigate. Subpoena the list. Let’s see who sold their souls. Time to clean house.
