He later says “I can just see [it]: ‘President Trump is talking about all the money they’re making while people are suffering at the pump’..I don’t give a damn. I’m gonna say it. We’re making a freaking fortune" Quite the closing argument. No wonder GOP candidates don’t want to campaign with him

Trump: "While oil prices are temporarily high ... the United States oil and gas business is making hundreds of billions of dollars"

For an administration obsessed with rooting out “waste,” spending billions of taxpayer dollars to kick talented workers out of their jobs, making services Americans depend on less available, sounds like the definition of the word “waste” to me.

Trump asked Ukraine to stop hitting Russian oil refineries, so they did. Then Trump screwed Ukraine and helped Putin kill civilians and destroy infrastructure in Ukraine. Congressional Republicans, get a damn spine and stop Trump from helping Russia attack Ukraine! www.nytimes.com/2026/10/15/w...

nytimes.comZelensky Says Ukraine Will Resume Russian Refinery Strikes, Defying TrumpPresident Volodymyr Zelensky expressed overt frustration with the United States in an interview with The Financial Times. He had paused the strikes to comply with a demand from the United States.

There's a reason Trump's FDA is pushing their review of the abortion pill into next year: The midterms. They don't want to tell women, before they vote in a few weeks, that they are about to lose their ability to obtain abortion medication. Vote blue, no matter who. www.cnn.com/2026/10/08/h...

The White House is coordinating with the Justice Department to hide its abortion agenda from voters until after they've voted in order to try to influence the results of the election.

The GOP promised their tax cuts for the rich would lead to growth. But growth slowed down. They said their tariffs would bring back manufacturing. But factory jobs are down under Trump. Republican policies don’t work. Change begins on November 3.

We roll out the red carpet for Putin and Xi while we shit on our closest allies daily. The American government under Trump and his cultist Republican Party is a disgrace.

Putting aside the 1st Amendment implications…it’s not like Convicted Felon Donald Trump tells the truth when the press is at the White House anyway.

Canada basically got offered a trillion dollar deal with EU, meanwhile at the same time the US is arguing over whether FBI agents can rape dogs or not

This is the point Dems need to push. It's agreed on by all Dems -- from the far left to center to the right of the Party. And it's what resonates with everyone but crazy MAGA ... and billionaires.

Medicare isn't some handout American seniors PAID for it-through years of hard work Jesus, is it possible for Republicans to hate Americans any more than they suggest do

Republican New Hampshire Senate candidate John Sununu says he supports a work requirement for seniors on Medicare: "I certainly support a work requirement for able-bodied Medicare recipients."

Jimmy Kimmel on Trump’s hair dye job: “I don't know if you saw this but the leaves are changing colors and so is the president's head. “Is it possible to have a midlife crisis at 80 years old? It's like he's aging in reverse. "He's our own little Benjamin Glutton.”

Imagine the self restraint to wait two and a half decades to tell this story for the first time.

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

Perfect: Trump just threatened to punish Canada by banning Canadian company Bombardier's aerospace sales in US. But Bombardier's US headquarters is in Kansas, forcing GOP Sen Roger Marshall to distance himself and giving Dems new hope in this tough race. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2151...

I served with many smart, honorable people when I was in the military. I also served with a lot of backward dumbasses who, undoubtedly, went on to reject the GI Bill, remain dumbasses, and become Trump supporters. So I ask the latter: How is Commander Bone Spurs posting this not stolen valor?

There’s lots of empty land in and near Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster, and for that matter at the very spacious estates of the tech oligarchs and the nice campuses of the tech companies. Those seem like easy places to put data centers.

To the Trump voters who will be hurt by one of our biggest trading partners not buying many of our goods: Zero sympathy. Trump **told you** he was going to start trade wars when he ran in 2024. But you voted for him anyway. Because your love for him is all about the racism, isn't it?

RIP Tim Curry, a marvelous actor. So many great roles, but no one will ever forget him as Dr. Frank n' Furter in Rocky Horror. "Because I've seen blue skies, through the tears in my eyes. And I realize, I'm going home."

Trump is promising to boost the U.S. economy by making it harder for Americans to trade with the rest of the world. He is also promising to destroy Iran's economy by making it harder for Iranians to trade with the rest of the world.

A common political myth is that Democrats overspend while Republicans want to balance the budget. The truth is that both parties have contributed to decades of overspending, leading to a $40 trillion national debt. (More below!)

Steve Rattner@steverattner.bsky.social

Trump promised to balance the budget. Musk projected $2 trillion in savings. This year, the deficit grew by 18% — with $200 billion of that due to refunds of his illegal tariffs. My @nytimes.com Chart

Here’s the thing, and it’s always been the thing with Trump. Nobody believes a word he says. He lies so much and spews such bullshit, no one believes him or takes him seriously. So he posts bullshit like this, people in power ignore it. They stopped listening to him awhile ago.

Trump's alternative reality: "There are no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled, with Iran. The Naval Blockade remains in full force and effect. The Hormuz Strait is open and operating." (Almost no ships have been going through the strait in recent days, so no, it is not open)
