Time to wake the fuck up, America. We were played. Hard. @thedemocrats have lied to us for four years. They were in on it, which is why nothing was done to Trump. There is no difference between the two parties. They conspired against us because they know we’re a nation of fucking idiots.

JUST IN: 6 news consumers, including @kenroth.bsky.social @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org @froomkin.bsky.social, sue Trump over his "ban" on news outlets, including @politico.com. Suit argues Trump is burdening their ability to get quality WH reporting www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

my god the 5th circuit is just full of shitty monsters veritenews.org/2026/10/23/i...

Congress has vowed to put boundaries around the private equity-style deals in the Pentagon, stripping several offices of the ability to lead equity investments. But that bill hasn't passed yet, and in the meantime, the Pentagon has made $775 million in new investments using outside funds.

Trump taught them you never, ever have to apologize for being a huge piece of shit. performative cruelty is one of the great selling points for MAGA ideology to its adherents! Vivek CANNOT admit fault; to do so is to fail the conservative project entirely. he’ll continue doubling down to the end

Here we have state media (CBS, now under the direction of op-ed writer Bari Weiss and her patrons, Trump mega donors the Ellisons) reprinting the lie that Trump “created” a women’s health division at NIH that has existed since the 1990s.

In Chicago for the premiere of Zeteo’s new documentary ‘Night Flower: Inside AIPAC’s Fight For Influence’ which will be available at zeteo.com and in your inboxes tomorrow. A lot of revelatory whistleblower testimony in this film. Full house expected tonight!

Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad. "This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

But I thought the leopard wouldn't eat MY face off!! 'I feel like a dummy': Trump supporter forced sell car amid economic woes www.alternet.org/trump-suppor...

“I will be the arbitrator of all these decisions." The president, today, on who gets paid for turning people in. Write that down. It'll matter later.

This is one of the most disgusting and infuriating things I’ve ever read. There’s a reason I’m so vocal about people NOT enlisting in our military. You are DISPOSABLE. Nothing more. And our leaders don’t even give a fuck if you can afford GROCERIES. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff is leading the rise of the rude Democrat. More should follow his lead. trib.al/aYQpRfk

Trump is siding with Russia. Again. He’s attacking Zelenskyy for striking Russian oil refineries, while Russia has been relentlessly bombing Ukraine’s energy grid and civilian targets. 1/

Great catch by @markjacob.bsky.social. If Jan Crawford really thinks Tommy won this exchange with El-Sayed then it shouldn't be hard for her to answer this simple question.

It’s taking a long time for people to wake up to the fact that these platforms are not public forums but privately owned companies with terrible agendas and total control. If you lay down with these dogs…

I note to people what the Democrats regaining both houses will demonstrate that we are in the middle of a constitutional crisis, so the Democrats should come loaded for bear.

Trump has committed yet another act of treason against the US and Ukraine. Both sides are “outraged.” Yet….not a single call for action. No impeachment. No removal. Nothing. Just sternly-worded statements and both parties move along like nothing happened. Again. www.huffpost.com/entry/trumps...

Finally, Healy says: "We have used the word authoritarian...in multiple stories." That's not true. They use it infrequently, almost always attributed to a critic. I found all of one recent exception, referring to "his authoritarian instincts." 7/7

Healy: "...we aren’t leaning into language like fascist and liar in our own words. We do quote people who say those things...we do tend to be really careful about the most potent and inflammatory words." If NYT won't call a spade a spade or a fascist a fascist, what are they doing in the business?

“Trying not to be partisan” is the baseline issue here The job is not to walk some equidistant-to-the-poles line The job is tell the truth. If it’s in the zone it’s a strike and if it’s not it’s a ball And if one team is getting a lot more strikes called than balls that’s on them, and that’s fair

Mark Jacobs does a great job here of voicing a widely held critique of the NYT: "There’s just a lack of bravery. I think that you should be writing a headline that says that Donald Trump is assaulting democracy.” AME for "standards" Patrick Healy responds with straw men and mush. 1/7

EXCLUSIVE: In audio recordings provided to RS, Ken Paxton warned that Gov. Greg Abbott is "struggling" in his bid for reelection, made excuses for his own Senate campaign woes, and conceded that Republicans will likely lose seats in the state legislature.

We must crush Elon Musk and the oligarchs. It's either us or them. They are playing for all the marbles.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

"Neporuption" - the merging of nepotism and corruption - is consuming our system at a scale never before seen in the United States, as these families emulate the model of foreign autocracies that Trump so deeply admires.

This is absolutely sick.

This is how you get frustrated voters to haul themselves to a midterms voting booth. When ppl see you fighting, it makes them want to join in. They want to be associated with Guy Who Takes No Crap. They're going to think of this moment when filling in the little oval and they're going to _smile_.

"THE ENEMY"

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

‘Voters from the left and the right are finding a common, populist ground targeting American corporations. And this anger is going beyond just Big Tech.’ www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

And by "violating banking laws" CBS News means former Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert molested boys he coached for wrestling in high school, boys as young as 14. To-may-to/to-mah-to!

Reupping my rant about why diesel prices are so high, who's making a killing on them, and what Trump could (try to) do if he actually gave a shit. bsky.app/profile/froo...

This fucking disgusts me on so many levels. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

imagine writing this book and then people are citing you for your ability to predict elections

"He's an investor, not an inventor." Filmmaker @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social how Musk, like Trump, built his name on work he didn't do. Watch the full discussion: zeteo.com/p/this-filmm...

We are fucked.

We have two men on the SUPREME COURT And one in our WHITE HOUSE ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND RAPE OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN. They got there because they are republicans. #VoteBlue #VoteEarly Then stay involved. #Pinks #KitchenBitches bakingitsbetterthanmurder.substack.com/p/we-are-don...

People would understand what's going on if it was a tinpot dictator in a supposed "2nd or 3rd world country," but the belief in American exceptionalism has just absolutely pulverized any ability to recognize what's happening here because the evidence is just undeniable at this point.

For the record, the American order should go away. It was lousy and brutal. But having it bought out by dictators and oligarchs in order to further their interests that made it lousy and brutal in the first place is fucking disgusting and I'm exhausted by people pretending it's not happening.

"Sometimes it’s important to remind ourselves of the uncomfortable facts of life. Trump gave a lengthy interview to Time Magazine that was published yesterday. Let’s stare into the abyss together." Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

🧵 My weekly Stop the Presses newsletter just passed its 3rd anniversary. Its mission: to examine how right-wing extremism exploits weaknesses in journalism, and what we can do about it. In this thread, I highlight past pieces, including this takedown of Karoline Leavitt that's No. 1 in "likes." 🧵

I’ve written about news organizations that get the rare opportunity to confront him with reality instead failing miserably. Every time. It’s a disservice to the world. These are, ironically, fake journalists. https://presswatchers.org/2025/11/cbss-interview-with-donald-trump-was-an-abdication/

Trump doesn't have the guts to sit down with @maddow.bsky.social or @mehdirhasan.bsky.social or @ichotiner.bsky.social

And it’s still not enough for Trump. “You haven't asked me one fucking positive question,” he says. “All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative.”
