They think we’re dumb. Here’s Eduardo Bolsonaro, citing Polymarket—backed by Peter Thiel—to imply that Brazil’s election was rigged: “Polymarket, …like 24 hours b4 the election, Flavio Bolsonaro was having about 80% of intention that he was going to win …Do not recognize these elections...” 🙄 1/

The top 40 donors in this year’s midterms gave $2.5 billion by mid-October, more than eight times the $308 million that the top 40 donors gave by mid-October in the 2014 midterm cycle (the first full midterm cycle after Citizens United). bit.ly/4BsIIS9

Trump: "That's what a lawyer tells you to answer when you're guilty. Just say, 'Not to my knowledge.'"

Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

A hunting trip to Mongolia furnishes cover for meetings between TrumpJr and Putin sidekick Umar Kremlëv. TrumpJr stood on stage with a wide smile as an auctioneer sold off the chance to join him on a week-long hunting trip in western Mongolia. “Will you beat $225,000? I’m giving you a bargain,” the

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

Really wish Democratic candidates would go like 20% as hard as whatever Gen Z baller made this video for the Senate Majority PAC account

BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

Republicans, they're not like us.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Gas prices just “skyrocket” every time a “tin pot dictator decides to throw a tantrum,” explained JD Vance today at a campaign rally in Belgrade, Montana. Vance listed other historic examples, but failed to acknowledge the Iran war launched by the Trump administration.

I voted blue

Political power is meant to be used to fight for the people you serve, not to line your own pockets and sell out millions of our tax dollars for a quick check.

thinking about how i wasted all this money on clothes when i could have invested this money in an index fund and eventually bought a senator like elon musk

Obama: "Imagine the power duo of Abdul and Elissa. You got a Muslim man, a Jewish woman, fighting for you in the US senate. That's something, Michigan, you can be proud of!"

Tucker Carlson is an “old friend” of Peter Thiel puppet JD Vance. Carlson’s media company received $15 million from 1789 Capital, a Thiel network VC firm where Trump Jr. is a partner. The “conversion” narrative is theater—superficial distancing/dissonance—not disagreement. A succession strategy.

READ THIS: This billionaire’s initiative would very likely send $4 billion to a nonprofit that he founded. The nonprofit is supposed to lead California on health research. However, it only had three employees last month, despite agreeing with UCLA to have more than 50 by last year. My reporting:

I’m sorry, who is the president of the United States? Elon Musk or Donald Trump?

I guess it’s fitting that the pussy grabbing president supports child sex abusers

I’m watching Trump on TV talking about a woman who was sexually abused by her stepfather. Trump supporting him and calling the mother beautiful. He is the most disgusting person and everyone that voted for him is gonna burn in hell.

It’s crazy people are making fun of him saying this. When I think he’s planning on dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran and we should all be freaked out - there is no one to stop him.

This article came out six weeks ago, there's enough public evidence that @foreignpolicy.com let me say "bribed" without caveat, and still, the new Kushner revelations show he was BRIBED. Directly bribed. Right into secret foreign accounts bribed. Massively corrupt, ultimately world-changing bribes.

Evil Bond villains are running the US government.

Republican candidate Brandon Herrera: “I fucking hate cyclists. Jesus fucking Christ! ….I had fucking fantasies of running them all over and, you know, maybe one of these days I will. …I have thought about ways that I could get away with it.”

“127 organizations from 30 countries are urging European governments to drop Palantir, warning of mass surveillance, vendor lock-in and a loss of democratic control over citizens’ data.” 10/18/26

Do these people have actual FRIENDS? A community? People they laugh with and enjoy at dinner parties or volunteering? The most corrupt, unpleasant, vapid people ever. Who voted for this crap? Not me.

This week, we opened 385 new affordable homes in Brooklyn. We’ll soon grow the Innovative Urban Village to 2,000 affordable homes, child care, jobs, a grocery store and a performing arts center. That’s what it looks like to build a city without pricing out the working class.

Zelenskyy has had enough of Trump‘s lies and effort to help Putin. He’s taking off the gloves and talking truth to power, hoping the American public and Congress can help. We must help.

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

yea we need to break these companies up and take the ceos money from their personal accounts

No Kings in NYC would have been better off with a march, The rally in Washington Sq Park is anemic. We all vote.

Meta is a fascist enterprise.

Why don’t billionaires simply pay their taxes instead of dumping hundreds of millions of dollars into Republican races?

It would be so cool if the US was run by a government instead of a cabal of criminal billionaires.

Donors of $333 million to the ballroom include "contributors who have benefited from regulatory decisions, government contracts and, in one case, a pardon for a family member." From @washingtonpost.com wapo.st/4yiUDPx

Happy 45th Anniversary to the "Controversy" album 💜🕊 🗣I just can't believe all of the things people say..... controversy...

Solar is soaring and EV sales are through the roof. Finally, a president who is not afraid to raise the price of gas. Never mind that we're all paying for it at the pump, at the grocery store, and on everything that moves by diesel, while U.S. oil companies post record profits.
