“.. the latest extraordinary setback in Mr. Trump’s wide-ranging campaign to go after his political opponents.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

Good question - we’re at the point now that even extracting oil gets complicated. The oil is held in salt caverns and water is pumped in at the bottom to displace oil upwards. At 70M barrels, oil water ratio is too low. Water can enter extraction devices and even start eroding the caverns.

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY:

When Trump says he doesn't "give a damn" about high gas prices because "we're making a fortune" -- he means it literally: www.jec.senate.gov/public/index...

A week from tomorrow is the beginning of the END of the Orange Atrocity! 🍊 💩 #voteVoteVOTE

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

‘We, the people’—not we, the white people—not we, the citizens or the legal voters—not we, the privileged class, and excluding all other classes but we, the people; not we, the horses and cattle, but we the people.” —Frederick Douglass, 1857 www.americaamerica.news/p/showing-tr...

what a night

www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

yep. "... also an influx in corporate clients looking for advice on how to prepare for potential investigations... companies that donated to Trump’s projects or did business with the government or the Trump family could be swept up in the probes..." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

“Anthropic is warning that some of its artificial intelligence models could soon become ‘self-replicating’ and find ways to infiltrate internet-connected devices *** ‘A replicator like this would be challenging to shut down,’ Anthropic researchers wrote” (as if this isn’t their fault).

This is what the short-fingered vulgarian considers "funny". He won't be laughing in 15 days. #AccountabilityIsComing11/3

The US economy is about 12 times larger than the Russian economy and per capita output is six times larger. CA, NY and TX surpass Russian output. It's a minor economic country. But Trump only wants to match the scale of theft and dictatorial, oligarchic rule of Putin, the people be damned.

J.D. really said this with a straight face

“.. the energy watchdog said these 100mn barrels would come from the 400mn barrel stock release agreed in March, and would not include additional barrels.” @financialtimes.com ⛽️ www.ft.com/content/2761...

I will give $1000 to anyone in that room who will yell out "what the fuck are you rambling about, old man?"

Another great sad cartoon from @deadder.bsky.social

NEW: Debunked claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election made by notorious conspiracy theorists and election deniers were the basis of the evidence used by the Trump administration to obtain a search warrant for the FBI to raid a Fulton County, Georgia election hub earlier this month.

This administration is a criminal administration.

Flagging: Trump directed top U.S. spy agencies to share sensitive intelligence about the 2020 election with Kurt Olsen, who we just learned helped launched the FBI raid on Fulton County. Olsen is a 2020 election denier who tried to overturn the results of the election. tinyurl.com/3tyrd7xm

Rep. Lieu: “Howard Lutnick must resign… The Epstein Files new release shows that not only did Howard Lutnick lie to the American people, he went into business with Jeffrey Epstein, he visited Epstein Island, and Howard Lutnick did this knowing how evil Epstein was.”

Rep. Ro Khanna just read on the House floor the names of the six 'wealthy, powerful men' whose names were originally redacted in the Epstein files: Leslie Wexner Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem Salvatore Nuara Zurab Mikeladze Leonic Leonov Nicola Caputo www.politico.com/live-updates...

(CNN) - The United States has fallen to its worst-ever position in a leading global index that measures perception of corruption in the public sector among independent experts and businesspeople. @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2026/02/10/b...

WATCH — @warnock.senate.gov: “They are seizing ballots, gunning down ordinary citizens, arresting journalists. All the alarm bells 🚨 are blaring. The question is, are we listening?”

NOW: Howard Lutnick was asked by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) if the nanny who joined Lutnick family on a 2012 trip to Epstein island is the same nanny Epstein expressed an interest in meeting Lutnick: "I have no idea about that whole thing"

Did Lutnik bring his wife and kid with him to known sex offender’s island to traffic his nanny?

KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right? LUTNICK: I don't know K: Well you need to look, bc it does. What's the % of Americans who live below poverty level? L: I don't know K: It's around 11%. It's been constant

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to gain access to Michigan’ unredacted statewide voter registration list. Another BIG victory for our clients and voters. Another stunning defeat for Pam Bondi. www.democracydocket.com/cases/michig...

Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

In January 2025, the Washington Post urged confirmation of Noem and Bondi. Democracy Docket opposed them from the start. Subscribe to and support pro-democracy, independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

What lying fucks they all are.

Noem: "An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently." Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit. Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.
