If only there were a Nobel Prize for heckling

Elon Musk has spent more money on politics in the last 2 years than George Soros has spent in his entire lifetime.

Huge headlines around the world. In major US corporate media, complete silence. Something fishy here.

the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Kerry Kennedy says she 'absolutely' blames her brother, Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr., for recent measles-related deaths in Pennsylvania. The state has surpassed more than 1,000 measles cases this year, making it the largest state outbreak in more than three decades.

It is atrocious we have to operate under this constant credible and explicit threat from one political party, the fact we keep calling it a “free and fair election” needs some light revising

LEGAL immigrants in Tennessee are now unable to renew their driver’s licenses because of a new law from Tennessee Republicans. www.tennessean.com/story/news/l...

One more gold appliqué and he’ll be a real President!

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

lol, ok

USPS workers’ greatest concern about Trump’s mail voting plan was a requirement that they reject ballots for an array of reasons. “That’s not what we do. We deliver mail. We don’t decide what goes and what doesn’t.”

Kyle Clark is one of the top journalists in Colorado, if not the entire country. If he says 60 Minutes blew it on this Tina Peters story, that’s exactly what happened.

It’s peak Trumpism when Republicans blow up a school full of Iranian Muslim girls and then call an American politician a terrorist because he’s Muslim.

It now turns out that Elon Musk funded Cornel West's 2024 ballot push in its entirety in an effort to siphon votes away from the Democrats. readsludge.com/2026/10/26/m...

WATCH: A defense contractor CEO and his close associates donated nearly $900,000 to dozens of politicians and got over $40 million a year in government funding. He told the FBI that Sen. Susan Collins was his most important patron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

“covert surveillance inside houses of worship… “interrogations of churches’ staff… “ICE agents hauled off a nun who was wearing her habit and walking down the sidewalk en route to Sunday Mass… “suing a Catholic diocese in New Mexico to seize 14 acres of their land…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

I would take a thousand replies disagreeing with me over one trying to tell me how or what I should post.

this happens way too often in @nytimes.com for it to be a happy accident

Yes, yes, the renewed accusations that the president is a serial rapist and was an active participant in Epstein's pedophilia and sex trafficking would seem alarming, but it doesn't involve the Cheesecake Factory so ...

Beatrice Keul, testified that she was introduced by Jeffrey Epstein to Donald J Trump, who then brutally raped her in a hotel room in Atlantic City, NJ, and her claims were deemed credible by a panel of the House Judiciary Committee today. The NYT has decided that this is not reportable news.

This should go over real well in the upper Midwest.

😅😅😅

He misses his Oval Office naps and it shows.😂

There is no human on earth more easily or predictably baited than this man.

Expanding the court is the moderate centrist position

Trump keeps mistaking his rally crowds for his Mar-a-Lago locker room golf companions. He thinks his bullshit stories will go over just as well.

Seeing how little coverage that house report that added another rape accusation to Trump's tally got today, I looked back on just the front page Benghazi stories (there were many, many more inside over these months).

I don’t know if any of you have noticed, but it’s getting darker earlier each day. Honest, look out the window.

A.I., why is my child worthy of my love again?

Reuters: US APPEALS COURT DENIES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S REQUEST TO STOP CALIFORNIA FROM COUNTING MAIL BALLOTS FROM ALLEGED NONCITIZENS

It would be more of an October Surprise if additional rape allegations against President Trump were surprising.

Oh, man, he's so close to getting it.

it feels truly insane that it’s not

In case facts still matter

I bet they use A.I.
