Trump sued the BBC for $10B. Now the BBC wants Jack Smith's testimony, and Trump as usual is fighting it, just like he's fighting his own deposition! Turns out suing is fun until someone asks for evidence. 🍿 #USDemocracy newrepublic.com/post/216805/... via @newrepublic.com

Musk didn't buy Twitter and donate hundreds of millions to Republicans out of charity. He is all-in on defeating Democrats. Democrats need to make the midterms too big to rig if they want to win, because close races won't be enough

It’s unbelievably heartbreaking. 💔 And Trump is now helping Russia against Ukraine. Repubs in the House are doing nothing to stop this repugnant traitor!! I pray we can vote in a new Congress and Senate to have some guardrails against any further crap he wants to do and hold them all accountable.

People are tired of having to choose between gas and groceries, because both are too expensive thanks to Donald Trump’s war in Iran. They are tired of stretching to pay for rent and for daycare and for health care, when the cost of each is climbing but the paycheck has not budged.

On October 16, 2019, I told Donald Trump, “With you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.” On October 16, 2026, Trump signed an executive order waiving new sanctions on Russia passed by bipartisan majorities in Congress and signed into law just last month.

California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion. Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion. What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare. Vote yes on Prop 40.

Update: WE ARE BACK IN! We can post again. This was utter bullshit on the biggest early vote effort in history. But it will not stop what we're building. No Kings means no kings in the White House or in Silicon Valley.

Update: about 4 hours later and we still don't have admin access so we still can't post to the No Kings instagram account. This isn't slowing down the the 3,000+ early vote events today. We will drive the biggest early vote in history. But this should be a flashing alarm about what's to come.

We have no explanation for why we were locked out for 4 hours today. We will be seeking answers. And we will be organizing for more than answers.

Do you feel betrayed? Zelensky: "Really, yes... It's a pity we are losing a strong partner." You think you're losing America? Zelensky" Yeah... It's not about business for us. It's just our life. And this our country, our body, our home, our children... This is not the right side of history."

Ken Paxton is selling off Texas — our land, our water, our communities. Data centers bankroll Paxton, they get tax breaks, and you get stuck with the bill. Texas, YOU have a chance to make history AND HELP THE REST OF THIS COUNTRY! Get ready for the #BueWaveIn20Days

A poor craftsman blames his tools; a poor candidate blames his voters. At 57,000, you're not challenging an election result. You're asking the judiciary to perform a resurrection.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Prayers for Pope Leo 🙏🏽 The first American pope underwent surgery today at Gemelli Hospital in Rome to remove a cancerous growth from his right lung. Surgeons removed the entire lower lobe of his right lung. The 90-minute procedure was successful, with no complications.

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.

I love that this might be the thing that tanks Paxton, and not the biblical divorce or letting a child rapist out early.

🚨 WOW: WSJ reports Ken Paxton partied in a luxury Dubai high-rise with 2 FUGITIVES, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, facing fed charges over an alleged $15 MILLION hospital embezzlement scheme — alongside his gf (not his wife). Ahmed donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER his indictment.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

Pray for Pope Leo The 71-year-old pontiff just announced he’ll undergo surgery early this week to remove a small nodule discovered in his lung. Doctors caught it at an early stage. He’s expected to spend about a week recovering in the hospital, before hitting the road again in early November.
