MeidasTouch: What do you make of this $1.776 billion fund— Gavin Newsom: It’s a criminal enterprise. It’s not just corruption, it’s not just graft, it’s a full-on criminal enterprise and it needs to be shut down.

It may not have the hot clang of the Book of Revelation, but when the Danes are selling your bonds it has not been a good day.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

When you offer Russia peace they don’t see peace, they see weakness and someone leaving themselves open to strike again. Peace with Russia cannot happen without overwhelmingly crushing the Kremlin and asserting dominance. That’s the nature of fascist regimes and death cults.

OMG the number of fake accounts on Twitter (yep I'm still calling it that) is just incredible. Every post gets a follow or reply from someone claiming to be either Elon Musk, a lottery winner who wants to give out money, or a gorgeous supermodel. What a cesspool of trash Musk has turned it into.

Oh wow

Trump is still dangerous, but he’s never been more vulnerable. Rick Wilson illustrates the current political battlefield, and how we win that battle, on MSNBC:

Great news and so well-deserved. The Russian people need to finally turn against their dictator amid the results of his failed imperialistic invasion of Ukraine. euromaidanpress.com/2025/09/30/f...

The pro-EU Party of Action & Solidarity has crushed the pro-Russia Patriotic Electoral Bloc in the Moldovan election. It won 51 seats - an outright majority. Moldova is now on a trajectory towards EU membership. A very bad night for Putin, who targeted Moldova with a wave of election propaganda.

Our dog just chewed up the pamphlet supplied by the city council with details of everyone running in the local body elections. Fair enough I guess - I wasn't inspired by any of them either - but it does make choosing a candidate more difficult.

Great to see the hacker attack on Aeroflot. F Russia. www.euronews.com/2025/07/28/r...

Russia’s national airline Aeroflot bonked by hackers in retaliation for the war in Ukraine and repression in Belarus. Over 100 flights were canceled, IT systems collapsed, and at least 7,000 servers destroyed. #oprussia 🧵

The US satire cartoon show South Park secured a five-year deal worth $1.5 billion with Paramount Global. They began their season with this clip, challenging Trump to sue them.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

The protests are expanding to Europe, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America. #3E #NoKingsProtest

One of the worst crimes of Russia’s war is the abduction of children. This Yale lab tracked the kids. Trump and Rubio cut the funding. You can help. Urge Rubio to reinstate the funding — and donate here. medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnoo...

Donald Trump forcing US troops to sleep on the ground in the scorching heat in Los Angeles, since he made 0 arrangements to house or feed them and only wanted to use them as props for his fascist porn and political manipulation. MAGA will say "I voted for this"🤡

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Nicușor Dan, is the new President of Romania, he is pro-EU, pro-Ukraine, a mathematician, genius IQ, and wants to eradicate corruption and organized crime. "Today’s win is by a Romanian community that wants a profound change," "We are living a moment of hope."

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

100 DAYS...of lying, grifting, lawbreaking, division, incompetence, ignorance, illegal deportations, self-aggrandizement, vulgarity, self-pity, cruelty, ignoring the Supreme Court & due process while attacking: the Media, Universities, Law Firms, the Courts & Journalists. 1362 Days to go...

For anyone who's used chatgpt a lot, I highly recommend typing in the following prompt. The response it generated for me was just incredible. "Based on my interactions with you, what have you learned about me ? Be informative, insightful and open. Criticism is allowed."

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Over last 3 years, US has spent around 2.34 Trillion on defense preparing for, among others, Russia. In same period we spent $187 Billion supporting Ukraine beating Russia. So: just 7.8 percent to defeat one of our biggest enemies, with no US losses Pretty good deal

The mood in the USA

Happy TESLA TAKEDOWN Day everybody!!! Let your feelings be known about the chain-saw wielding goofball & absentee father no one voted for currently bribing people for their votes while decimating our federal workforce. Go to: teslatakedown.com to plan your protest of ugly cars. Then eat pie. 🥧😋

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

Wyden: "I'm of the view that there ought to be resignations, starting with the national security adviser and the secretary of defense."

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

Brad Schimel is doing a livestream with Elon Musk at 4pm ET/3pm CT. Musk, remember, has poured at least $13 million to boost Schimel's campaign for Wisconsin Supreme Court—and has his own business lawsuit in Wisconsin that the Court might decide. The world's richest man wants to buy the courts.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.
