Aaron Parnas @aaronparnas.bsky.social Donald Trump spent the night stewing over Obama.

Please like share and order the book! @meidastouch.com The book from the founders of the MeidasTouch network is WTF America?!: The Way Out of This Hell and Back to Democracy, released on October 20, 2026. Authors: Ben Meiselas, Brett Meiselas, and Jordy Meiselas (the co-founders of MeidasTouch).

Astounding. In case you are following along with your "Who Is In Charge of Our Government?" scorecard, you can scratch off Donald J. Trump.

See where I'm going with this?

Aaron Parnas (@aaronparnas.bsky.com) had the headline "Hegseth Breaks Globe" today. No truer words were ever said.

A gift article from NYTimes columnist Jamelle Bouie. He uses the administration's attack on Ilhan Omar to assert that they constitute a "cargo cult" (had to look that one up), and the only good news is that Trump and his cronies are pretty bad at this intimidation. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/o...

She's absolutely right. It's a good bit, but the last joke is the best.

Yes! This is the perfect answer to the old anti-Hillary ad.

NEW: Another controversy involving taxpayer-funded Trump ads Democratic Natl Committee alerts court that MAGA Inc Super-PAC is paying to air a "no tax on tips" commercial that was produced by White House staff "whose salaries are paid using Congressional appropriations"

Current and former defense officials say former Wall Street executives have taken hold of a wing of the Pentagon and they’re favoring people and companies with close ties to the Trump administration.

Watch my debate with Andy Barr tonight! Sip bourbon when he says “socialism,” “communism,” or “radical.” Sip vinegar when he explains how he’ll lower prices or pay for healthcare. Your bourbon will run out first. Please drink more responsibly than Andy Barr legislates!

I repeat: Ted Cruz is lying.

Read this entire thread! I am generally a fan of The Times (It’s the major paper I grew up reading), but I agree with Jacob’s assessment of the cautious—or is that “cowardly” framing of the Trump regime in much of the paper’s reporting.

Now here’s a completely different way of looking at the AI discourse.

This is eye opening. And think about the reverse: recently passed bills that continue tax breaks for the most wealthy impose a proportionately higher burden on the average citizen. If a Republican tells you that Democrats will raise your taxes, give them a raspberry.

According to Aaron Parnas: Musk is trying to trick everyone by sending them to his own phony site when they go to check their registration. DO NOT go to votesafe.org When you enter your information, Elon Musk will steal it. DO NOT go to that website! Pass it on...

Kacey Musgraves for the win!

America is not a Christian nation or a Muslim nation. It’s a secular republic where freedom of religion means freedom for everyone, including the freedom to reject religion entirely. No religion gets to claim ownership of our government.

"The amount of fuel Russia could export is too small, the impact on pricing too slight, the narrative too late to shape electoral outcomes: This looks, instead, like something very different: an abrupt, Hail Mary attempt to force Ukraine to surrender" www.theatlantic.com/idea/2026/10...

wrote on saturday that trump was not going to let democrats avoid the question of impeachment and here we are with an offense that would have had a president impeached, removed and *at least* exiled if it had happened at any point prior to now.

Can someone ask CBS News why Ted Koppel said that "Bannon's technically correct; they didn't have standing" in the 60+ cases Trump and his allies lost in 2020. This is verifiably false and is a GOP talking point. Many/most of the cases Trump lost were on the merits. Do they not fact check at CBS?

Not 3 months ago, Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Act, which authorizes placing a sanction of 100% on anyone who purchases Russian oil Someone needs to get Darline Graham on and ask her about Trump betraying not just her country, but her brother’s legacy as well Then watch her head explode

Imagine the National Park Service employees carrying out orders to TAKE DOWN almost 600 trees. We really are in Bizarro World.

If Americans view, clip, share, and permanently enshrine an American public killing in a million ways on the internet, we will move towards fascist rituals of violence. snyder.substack.com/p/four-wrong...

FYI: The US currently exports roughly 6 million tons of diesel every month. Trump's decision to import 400,000 tons (a tiny fraction of US exports) will NOT impact diesel prices. All it will do is funnel billions to Putin that he can use to murder more civilians.

Trump just announced that he is importing 400,000 tons of Russian diesel right away and up to 4,000,000 tons over the coming months. Every US$ going to Putin will be used to buy more missiles and drones to kill Ukrainian civilians. Trump's largess will lead to thousands of deaths. 1/2

The only thing worse than the death penalty is the death penalty live-streamed.

There’s a right way and there’s a wrong way to report on Trumpian extremism. Right way: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/u... Wrong way: wapo.st/4yElwyB

This is the America MAGA is trying to get back to.

If you plan to watch a livestreamed public execution, chances are you would have attended a lynching 100 years ago. This is no different. Shame on you—whoever you are. #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory www.newsweek.com/pete-hegseth...

"Honey, please ..." is the way I'm going to start asking for anything from now on. As in: — Honey, please, can I have another cup of coffee? — Honey, please, can you let me off with a warning this time? — Honey, please, you can look past a little bribe, can't you?

"The war with Iran met all of its objectives. It's true: it's been weeks since anyone has mentioned the Epstein files."

This is so well done. 👌

He probably doesn't want you know know what he does when nobody's looking, as well.

This! Part of teaching young men to have self-respect is teaching them to respect women and to acknowledge that women must have full control over their own bodies. Sex isn't something a man TAKES; it's something two people SHARE WILLINGLY or not at all.

This "Most Anticipated" list notwithstanding, please support your local bookstore! If your local store don't have a copy, bookshop.org will usually give a kickback to the local store you cite when you set up your account. And don't use the online store with the smile logo. That smile is sardonic.

Protests in France—which started with students but which now include many adults—center on the bad condition of the country's schools, given their role in support of France's sense of itself as a meritocracy. Why is it that schools and teachers are always poorly funded?

...and 35 years ago on Oct 11th the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings began. Nothing has changed.

Go vote today if you can

This.

If we had a nickel for every time a Republican regretted a vote in support of a Trump initiative or nominee, we'll all be rich.
