El-Sayed: This is like the 3rd campaign stop where Donald Trump can't help but mention somebody's ass. When I get to DC, I'm just gonna make sure that I never let him see mine…

So now Trump is going to sell Alaska back to Russia?!! Turning the clock all the way back to 1867….

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...

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

Replying to @atrupar.com

Did he write a book about growing up in Appalachia when he really grew up in suburban Ohio? No, that was you, JD! Did he keep changing his first and last names? And lied that he changed his last name when he got married? No, that was you, JD!

And they can immediately denaturalize and deport Elon Musk, who illegally overstayed his student visa and lied on his citizenship application. There is no statute of limitations for immigration fraud.

IMO, This is the whole ballgame. Money corrupts absolutely. Josh Turek: "We need to have campaign finance reform to get dark money out of politics. I want to sponsor a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. We can have oligarchy or we can have democracy. We can't have both."

Trump calls Natalie on stage, checks out her legs, calls her "perfect," then floats creating a reality show w/ her -- & other lowlights from his rally tonight in Nebraska (Including Trump saying of Iran, "Let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is very small price to pay")

Trump's Iran War has sent mortgage rates skyrocketing. His trade wars have increased the cost of construction. His mass deportations have decimated the home-building workforce. And his HUD cuts have devastated affordable housing programs. "Make America Affordable Again."

I've had life insurance for years. Haven't used it once.

Dr Oz: "There are 5 times more people in parts of Obamacare in Florida than live in the state. It's impossible More than a third of people on Obamacare have never used the insurance policy once. If you were gonna pay your hard-earned money to buy insurance, would you ever use it? The answer is yes"

Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’ It’s our duty to know.

KARL: Do you support Trump banning news organizations because he doesn't like what they're reporting? SCALISE: Look, Biden removed the press credentials from 400 agencies KARL: That's not true. 400 reporters who had credentials didn't reapply. They weren't banned from the WH. That did not happen.

New at PN, @schaller67.bsky.social: "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national govt?" 🧾 t2m.co/xHakyh21

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

"Among the more absurd efforts to conceal McConnell’s decline, Tim Scott incredulously claimed he had a normal conversation with an engaged McConnell. Scott Jennings’s account of meeting with his supposedly lucid ex-boss is equally suspect. (As the kids like to say, 'video or it didn’t happen.')"

Stock Trades by Presidents While in Office: Bill Clinton: ZERO George W. Bush: ZERO Barack Obama: ZERO Donald Trump (first term): 517 Joe Biden: ZERO Donald Trump (second term): 24,000+, averaging >60 trades per trading day. This is why the crook in the Oval Office manipulates the markets.

JD Vance: "The American people have every right to expect that when they write a check to the IRS, when they write a check to the federal government, that money is gonna go to where the law says it should go and not to fraudsters."
