💥NEW FOIA Files newsletter is out! TONS of NEWS DOJ & FBI emails I obtained reveal how federal investigators probed allegations in 2022 that President Donald Trump tore up presidential records & why a prosecutor declined to pursue a separate criminal investigation www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Turkish strongman Recep Tayyip Erdogan, described by John Bolton as one of the "dictators [Trump] likes," escalates his attacks on a press that he's targeted for decades with prosecution, weaponized regulation, and media consolidation by his allies. NYT reports buff.ly/5pUGx91

Republican farmer who voted for Trump twice: “I’ve hurt more under Trump than I have any other president… Trump promised to help the farmers. Instead fuel and beef prices are crushing us and he’s cutting our throat.”

Journalist to Hegseth: “Mr. Secretary, are you Vladimir Putin’s puppet on Ukraine? Mr. Secretary, is Vladimir Putin playing you like a fiddle?” Good job, Britain! That’s how it’s done. Video: Sky News

I am calling on Congressman Mike Collins to disband his convoy captains program, which now has reported links to the Klan and folks with serious criminal histories targeting children.

That well-known hive of pinko commies, the Daily Mail 😂

New White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia: “They have said I only took questions from conservative outlets. However, The Daily Mail is not known to be a conservative outlet or friendly to conservatives.” Brits everywhere: *hysterical laughter*

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

Guys it’s 2026 can we please stop falling for his BS.

This should alarm EVERY American. Reuters asked 26 Senate campaigns if they’d accept the midterm election results. Only 14 gave an unconditional YES. The other 12 hedged or didn’t answer. Why is accepting the outcome of a democratic election even a question in America? #USDemocracy

This is a Russian jet-powered Shahed drone striking a supermarket in Odesa in broad daylight today. ​This is terrorism. Terrorists shouldn't be rewarded with lucrative business deals. They must be repelled, arrested, and prosecuted.

The White House is hiding a report about your taxes until after you vote. Each year the IRS publishes data on what people at every income level deducted and owed. This version is the first look at the GOP tax law from 2025. It was expected in July. It’s October. Full story at link in comments ⬇️

Ayanna Pressley: Trump's raid on Ilhan Omar home is part of his fascist, anti-freedom agenda. It's about terror and intimidation, and it's doing nothing to make us safe.

Meta has censored more than 1,000 pro-Lula accounts during the Brazilian Presidential Election. Evidence shows that the social media giant clearly interfered in the election. paydayreport.com/meta-censors...

The mother of an incarcerated man says California prisons arbitrarily enforce visitation rules, harming her and other families. “It’s supposed to be the Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections, not of continually harassing and punishing families.”

RESIGNED: Trump’s Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, resigned, not because she’s corrupt. (That’s no sin in TrumpWorld) But because she got caught. Guilfoyle asked a Trump donor to pay off her $100,000 Amex credit card bill in exchange for favors that never came. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

3. There are also major conflicts and inconsistencies with Zacharia's narrative of her professional career, including her time as "General Counsel" for a California non-profit.

2. The White House responded to a detailed request for comment, but did not provide any evidence Zacharia was licensed to practice law, referring Popular Information back to a Truth Social post where Trump calls her an attorney.

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, says she is a lawyer. She has claimed to be a lawyer repeatedly on national TV, on podcasts, and on social media. But there is no evidence that Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law.

Revisiting this one because seeing traitors held accountable makes me smile.

Emily Marris’ daughter got E. coli after drinking raw milk. So she texted the farmer, who said none of the tests showed “anything abnormal.” Marris later learned that the farmer hadn’t tested for E. coli; it seemed like she didn’t know how to.

I’ve said before that the entire thesis of Trump is “I can just force you to do what I want at any moment”, and every time this collides with reality, they have genuinely no idea how to react (see also: their attempts at martyring Charlie kirk)

"You hired half the Third Reich to staff your office ... If John Lewis were marching today, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club" -- here's a supercut of Jon Ossoff SMASHING Mike Collins during tonight's debate

We sanctioned Russia to help end their war with Ukraine. Now we’re buying diesel from Russia because our prices are higher. And it looks like we’ll be supplying Russia with parts to fix damaged refineries so we can get that diesel. So Russia makes money anyway and gets their refineries fixed too???

US warns Kyiv that strikes on Russia jeopardise intelligence-sharing www.ft.com/content/7fd4...

In other words, a 10 percent contraction in one of Britain’s most successful exports. If it were steel or fish or other infinitely less profitable sectors, people would be having a meltdown.

I have lived in Texas for over 20 years. I have been amazed at the buffoons, cons, and crooks Texans will vote for as long as there is an (R) behind their name. Case in point, Texas voted for lying Ted Cruz (R) over Beto O'Rourke (D). #VoteBlue #VoteTalarico
