In case facts still matter

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

El-Sayed: "Trump got us into a war we've got no business fighting. President Obama, he contained the nuclear threat without war. Trump's tariffs costing autoworkers their livelihoods. President Obama made sure they didn't lose their jobs in the worst financial crisis in a century ... "

Obama: "You got the defense sec who is like a laser focused on important matters like the jawline & testosterone level of our troops, and livestreaming executions because that's how he thinks you cultivate that manly warrior spirit. How much time do you think this man spends in front of the mirror?"

OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

Obama: Remember draining the swamp? The only thing they drained was the reflecting pool after a no bid contract, and they messed it up

Obama points out that values (or lack thereof) are just as big a problem for our civic society as affordability

Obama points out that while we may be struck with Trump for two more years, we are not stuck with a spineless Congress

“There is no office that is worth stooping that low” — Obama portrays Vivek Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad as an affront to basic decency

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

NEW ANALYSIS: Since the start of his second term, President Donald Trump’s administration has spent or plans to spend at least $1.6 billion in public funding on vanity projects. https://ampr.gs/4kdyUoM

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

I've had enough of this shit.

I do think Acton should go as hard as possible on this. "Elon Musk is paying millions of dollars to bombard your TV with lies by a rapist pedophile and his insane enabler wife. Don't let him win."

That Vivek Ramaswamy ad might end up being the worst own goal we've seen in a major race. Platforming the estranged mother of your opponent to attack her, only for everyone to discover that the mother protected the rapist of her 12-year-old daughter and stayed married to him, is beyond despicable.

A despicable ad from Vivek Ramaswamy who is a despicable person. Desperate Republicans have run some horrible, dishonest ads to distract from their failures in office, but maybe none worse than this one.

You’ve got to be kidding me.

HAHAHAHAHA it's funny because he's suggesting another man is gay, get it? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAsshole

“Zelenskyy could’ve stopped this war many times, and he chose not to … he better damn well stop” — Trump is no longer trying to conceal that he’s fully on Putin’s side

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

"Fuck that." "I'm Sherrod Brown and I approve of this message."

BREAKING: TV pool will not be providing coverage of presidential events until further notice b/c of CNN's ban, pool chair and FOX News Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton said. It's effectively a boycott by the fellow members — ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump claimed he's "banning the free press" & added "we're repressive also" when asked about China's lack of press freedoms during bonkers event where he struggled to stay awake, demanded kids get 5 vaccine shots instead of 1, and rambled incoherently in response to basic Qs Here's a supercut:

support aaron. he is directly over the target and making all the right people mad.

amen.

This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see. We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas. We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.

That’s $1.35 trillion dollars.

Christian nationalist Joel Webbon says hospitality is meant for other believers. If the social welfare state collapses, he says, the church will have to tell "feminist pagan women" on hard times, "You starve. Glory be to God. You starve."

What happened and "changed our children?" The reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in 1990s that and included autism as a covered disabilities. Schools had to report how many autistic students they served. Who was a cosponsor of that bill? RFK Jr.'s uncle Ted Kennedy.

BASH: How do you prepare for next pandemic? RFK Jr: We did almost everything wrong B: But what about now? K: We need to protect our rights B: ? K: During covid we dismantled our rights B: But I'm asking what *to* do K: You were part of the problem B: You want to sit here and attack me?

FLAG: Trump just said he will "push hard" to resurrect his slush fund. 
"It will immediately be back on the table, and I will get it done." He said he'll keep Todd Blanche as acting attorney general if his nomination fails in the Senate.

We could've made this montage of liars an hour long but you get the point

This is immediate impeachment-and-removal behavior for any other president and all involved cabinet secretaries (who, in any other administration, would have already resigned in disgrace)
