You don’t get to be an archbishop by being naive and simple. They went to get goodies. They went to get school vouchers. They went to change abortion law. The Trump administration used them right back. They got caught, and now they pretend they weren’t political. #TaxTheChurches

Remember the Catholic archbishops praying over Trump? The White House duped them into posing then sent out the video they didn’t know was being recorded without their knowledge. apnews.com/article/dona...

After the first round elections, Congressman André Janones created a WhatsApp channel titled “Lula’s Army.” It ballooned to 10 million people following his commands on how to behave online to counteract Meta’s far-right-favouring algorithms. The right knows how to use socials. We must learn, too.

DO IT!!! 🧵

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

🚨NEW STORY🚨 Farmer Jamie Davis is closing the gap as he bids to be Louisiana’s first Black U.S. Senator since Reconstruction, leaving Julia Letlow without the sure victory Republicans had hoped for. "This is not going to be a slam dunk," a pollster warns. thelensnola.org/2026/10/23/j...

🚨🚨🚨 Just got info from the Jamie Davis (Louisiana US Dem candidate) campaign that a poll taken from 9/17 to 9/19 shows he's within 4 points of US Rep. Julia Letlow (the R senate candidate) in the Louisiana US senate race. Of note, Letlow's name recognition is double that of Davis. (82% vs. 41%)

They know it can't be done. That's the point. Issue an order nobody can follow, then scream fraud when California doesn't follow it and use that as the excuse to meddle.

The DOJ by direction of the President is planting a multitude of options like a squirrel burying acorns. Like those acorns in the ground most of the DOJ cases will go nowhere and rot away. Some though will take root and branch in many directions. California, Alaska… Unknown where we are heading.

“At minimal cost”. So awesome that Louisiana is so rich it can give away land! And to the world’s richest traitor scum, too!

THIS. The amount of money the US spends on lobbying and electioneering is revolting. Why is it a goddamn business?? All that money could be feeding and housing people, educating our children, fixing infrastructure, etc etc.

We should demand Public Funding for offices. X number of signatures your on the ballot. Two highest totals from receives public money. Citizens united gone, pack money, and gone billionaire bucks gone. Campaign season is a weeks. Nowadays with the internet more than enough. Caught lying you're out

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Today’s proof that there is no bottom with repubs.

When I say "there are high ranking people in the media who want trump and Republicans to win" sometimes people think I'm talking about false balance or whatever when the thing I'm actually talking about is stuff like "Brooks Brothers Riot participant and Bush staffer is policy executive at Meta"

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...

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

The report estimates that the middle 20% of earners will face an additional $1,700 in taxes and other costs this year, while the poorest 20% could pay around $750 more. In contrast, the richest 1% are projected to come out ahead as their tax savings outweigh additional costs.

Woah. It appears that the anti-abortion “Ethics and Public Policy Center”—whose board includes Catholic Right SCOTUS “puppet master” Leonard Leo—is spearheading the push to strip the American Bar Association of its accreditation authority. 1/

Team Paxton appears to have sent out fake mailers to Texas voters impersonating a trans student group and claiming to want to help kids secretly transition. The actual group said they had nothing to do with it, despite the mailers copying their aesthetic, and the address traces to a random UPS box.
