The discovery of five baby orangutans abandoned on a plantation in eastern India is highlighting the country's growing role as a destination for trafficked apes.

In case facts still matter

Trump is considering mass pardons for his enablers. I have some ideas about how they could be undone. Liz Oyer

I hope that a defeat of Flavio Bolsonaro and Darline Graham drives a stake through the heart of nepo-politics, leaving Don Jr. worried and sad.

They know how to hit them where it hurts (H/T @atrupar.com )

Here's to hoping that Melania wins next year's Nobel Peace Prize for her imaginary diplomacy. It would drive a jealous Donald even further around the bend.

Kean tries to smear Bennett by calling her a millionaire.🤣 Bennett's worth btw $1-2 million, Kean's worth $27 million.

I'm blocking @mary1kathy.bsky.social and adding the account to my blocklists. Life is too short and the times are too serious to fuck around with disinformation and "A.i." bullshit. For accountability, here's the screenshot of the video they posted.

NYPD arresting an ICE goon for trying to steal someone off the streets of NYC. RESPECT!!!

The only thing more disgusting than that wheezing liar is the crowd clapping at every racist thing he says.

I remember when media did a whole bunch of stories about Joe Biden’s shoes to emphasize that he was old. But Trump can randomly blurt out random noises, fall asleep constantly in meetings, and walk like a drunk failing a sobriety test, and we get almost nothing.

When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

Elizabeth Warren Is 💯% Correct...

Construction on the fucking Arch could start as early as November 5th. I swear to God, the first thing we got to do in January 2029 is bulldoze this son of a bitch down to gravel.

HEY FLORIDA, Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?! 👇 Better start, huh?! 😎✨

With Donald Trump getting all the attention it is important to remember that JD Vance is an asshole too.

In all fairness, you can’t expect a pedo to condemn another pedo.

The Donald J. Trump ballroom is basically a deposit box for bribes. A secret donor list obtained by the Washington Post confirms it. Those partaking in this cesspool of corruption should be very worried about the consequences they could face in the (near) future. #vote youtube.com/shorts/6_tgu...

The administration can easily muster resources to make Election Day a horrible mess, if it decides to go down that route. It’s much more difficult for it to do that for the entire early voting period. If your state offers it, vote as soon as you can.

I think @nickharkaway.com is right on the larger point, but as an introverted bookworm who wants to be left alone and undisturbed when in public, I can very much get behind this as a policy priority.

NEW: Last week, Elon Musk capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to a military-grade version of Starlink, “rendering some offensive drones and interceptor drones virtually useless.” Gift link to article here: www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

Private corporations like Sonesta Hotels are putting profits over people when they contract with Trump’s immigration federal agencies to detain & imprison migrants in their hotels. I explain a powerful new lawsuit has been brought to make them pay for their complicity: youtu.be/O2c7RdJLm8M?...

Per his lawyer, Blanche has produced to the judge the unredacted handwritten FBI interview notes of a victim who alleges sexual & physical abuse by Felon Trump. Here's the latest, incl. Blanche’s attempts to get a stay from the appeals court for foreign language documents. youtu.be/IEhnvAhlitw?...

It’s time to arrest Elon.

Found more fraud. The Herrera family hired Alina Habba. They offered her $10 million a year for four years, along with a range of bonuses. Including bonuses, she was guaranteed more than $50 million over four years. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

Jon Stewart to Matthew McConaughey:

We prevent violence by directly listening to those who experience it. For years, the Crisis Management System (CMS) has successfully reduced crime across our city by empowering trusted community leaders to mediate conflict and lower tensions before violence can occur.

Remember when everyone was supposed to get “DOGE dividends” and $2,000 tariff rebates? Now Elon Musk is promising to give every child a SpaceX share, while Trump is claiming he'll dole out $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms. Their desperation is showing. Don’t be fooled.

Perhaps the most amazing thing in the story is that this Habba, no stellar attorney, is being paid $10 million a year for work that no one can identify & she’s not willing to describe. That’s nuts and smells dirty as hell. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

The corruption is just staggering. Dozens of dozens of pardons being given out to wealthy criminals paying millions for them. The US government is for sale to the highest bidders & DOJ operates as Trump’s consigliere. Have you had enough of this yet America? I know the world has.

It's time to defund Elon. robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

Girls! Girls! You're *both* right! Bask in the novelty.

She absolutely went out of her way to intentionally mislead the viewers in every segment that she was an experienced lawyer who had practiced law. Nobody with half a brain can watch this & think otherwise. She’s a fraud which makes her perfect for a senior Trump appointment. bsky.app/profile/noth...

The reality is, all these fake MAGA tough guys from Trump on down are just whiny crybabies and perpetual victims.

The cyberattack hit refrigeration systems in at least 380 supermarkets in France this week, according to several major retailers. In some shops, the attack forced workers to throw out food, shop staff and photos from several supermarkets found. nyti.ms/3VMpEhh

#DementedDon Well I for one don't need a weatherman to know wich way the wind is blowing. A progressive political newsletter argued this weekend that the press is close to breaking a long-standing taboo and saying out loud that President Donald Trump may have dementia.

BREAKING: @democracydefendersfund.org & partners just sued ICE over a nasty catch-22 ICE detains people, takes their IDs & work papers, releases them, keeps the papers. Now they can't work & risk getting picked up again for having no ID We're going to court to get it ALL back -TN
