Imagine tapping the screen for your chosen candidate and watching the machine switch your vote to Marsha Blackburn. Voters in Tennessee are sounding the alarm. Check your review screen carefully before you cast your ballot so your voice is actually heard. #TrumpsCrimesOnYourDime #Pinks ⭐️

Every time Vance talks I am going to give money to the Dr Amy Acton gubernatorial campaign.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Vance just held an outrageous presser in which he defended Vivek's vile attacks on Acton, agreed w/ Witkoff's assessment of Putin as a "humanitarian," and had gall to claim "there's no person who hates people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the govt than Donald J Trump" Supercut:

Brett Meiselas: This is why you don’t put a criminal into office in the first place. This is why we arrest criminals. This is why they go to prison, so that they can’t commit more crimes. Instead, we put a fraudster into office. What do you think he’s going to do? He’s going to commit fraud.

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

TRUMP: We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages. TRUMP LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER: If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn't be coming out right now.

There are a lot of practical problems with implementing wealth taxes on billionaires, but there should be a special exception for those who fawn over murderous dictators.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

Tommy stands up. Tommy takes a deep breath. Tommy asks a question. Tommy gets his ass handed to him. Tommy skulks off. Tommy realizes he might not wind up as the hero of this story.

JD hasn’t seen a “shred of evidence” that Trump is enriching himself while in office. Wow

It was really Elon Musk idea to sabotage Ukraine. Trump had no clue about Starlink technology. Elon just had Trump approve it. Now, he’s blaming Trump. Elon is the Master Mind, still trying to act like he’ innocent and clueless. 🤬🤬🤬

There are still people claiming Trump isn't racist, if you can believe it.

🚨 WOW: In a new video, Trump donor Eric Deters announces a lawsuit against Kimberly Guilfoyle, threatens to depose her and Don Jr., and teases an explosive recording. “This might just bring down the ENTIRE Trump administration,” he warns.

The tragedy of Biden's presidency is not its lack of success, but how little its success was recognized. The claim Democrats don't have a policy program is false. Finishing the projects Biden began, working with Bernie Sanders and others, should be central to the project of the next president.

The Judge had the discretion to dismiss WITHOUT prejudice but in a censure of how prosecutors played loose & fast with what they knew to be the evidence in this case, has dismissed WITH prejudice. The gov’t is out of business in this one.
