Woah - boards of service in the Marines and the Navy are ignoring Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's order to purge transgender troops from the military. "Navy and Marine Corps boards have voted to retain trans members in nine of 12 cases." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

nytimes.comMilitary Boards Are Defying Orders and Letting Trans Troops Serve (Gift Article)The service members at Navy and Marine Corps hearings are finding ways to keep trans troops in uniform.

Every one of our allies should now understand that the US has no respect for them or for their armed forces.

Following disgraceful comments from Hegseth disparaging NATO allies & the fallen soldiers who fought alongside US troops, fury has erupted across the Atlantic & the UK & Canada are making it clear they are completely done with the arrogance. youtu.be/6ayOcMRl31I?...

No matter how much suffering is sustained by Ukrainians, consider the alternative. Complete obliteration of their country, genocide, replacement by Russian zombies, and exile to uninhabitable areas. You don't believe me? 📚 Read history, Russia has inflicted all these on Ukraine before Slava Ukraini

Has a pool reporter ever stood up on behalf of their colleagues when this happens?

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

A one-year-old girl watched masked ICE agents beat her father on the roadside in Donna, Texas. He is a U.S. citizen, and his wife had already told the agents that they were Americans. The agents continued the assault as his wife watched helplessly. Repost this everywhere!

It was an act of colonisation of another land, occupied by people who were in the majority. It began at the end of the 19th century & their aim made 'official', by them, at the beginning of the 20th. They then set about taking over Palestine, using the tools of money, bribery & political influence.

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

The Associated Press is reporting the White House's account without mentioning the Pope's earlier intervention. So why is the White House taking credit for an initiative Pope Leo was publicly pursuing a week ago?

The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so. What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Breaking news: The Justice Department has moved to preemptively block certification of the results of Alaska’s Senate race if Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses his tight race against Democrat Mary Peltola next month.

This is just another coup attempt by Republicans. Will the courts stop it?

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social

They’ve already started. They filed a suit today to effectively throw out Alaska’s election results if Dan Sullivan (the incumbent) doesn’t win

Flanagan: "Michele Tafoya would be a vote for Trump. I would be a vote for MN. I humbly ask for your support so we can ensure that this country, the state of Minnesota, is a place where people can afford the lives they want to live & this grift that has continued under Donald Trump comes to a stop"

This is such a criminal administration that now they're stealing from one another! 🤣

Trump allies are feuding over where a multi-million dollar check went. Alina Habba's husband intended to have $6 million go to the Kennedy Center, and now it's missing. Habba went to Trump to accuse Ric Grennell, former director of the Kennedy Center, of stealing it... WH counsel is investigating.

Gaza: One man was killed in an Israeli strike north of Gaza City, hospital officials said. Israeli authorities said no commercial goods had entered Gaza for two days, and attempted to blame taxation imposed by Hamas.

If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.
