I did not come to Bluesky to read posts that are misleading and fearmongering no matter who they support. I came for people who are providing factual information faster and with courage and integrity. If you want to post rumors meant to inflame not inform, I will block you. Fair enough?

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Russia is very likely to use the ceasefire and press tour in Oleshky for propaganda❗️ They will try to shift the blame for the humanitarian crisis onto Ukraine, whitewash their war crimes, and leverage NewsMax's presence to legitimize their narrative on the international stage.

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

I have read dozens of outraged posts because the US special envoy Witkoff called Putin a "humanist." But no one is writing about the fact that the American negotiators are simply not doing their job. Let me explain.

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

SpaceX describes Starshield as a "secured satellite network for government entities" that "leverages Starlink technology." And don't forget SpaceX gets *paid* to provide both Starshield and Starlink to Ukraine by NGOs, governments, etc. Poland is a big customer so is U.S. Pentagon.

Simply imagine a Lockheed, Boeing or other prime defense contractor - out of nowhere, no communication - implementing some terms of service or term in a contract they think they have without reaching out first to say we think you are violating this. As a result we will nerf your crucial technology.

After the recent Trump rallies, it's a novelty to see a president able to fill a venue again.

James Baldwin: "The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality."

Not the Pope, then? Jeezo, when will these 'characters' stop telling sucj obvious lies.

There is a massive corruption scandal unfolding in the US, with top American executives abandoning a $25 billion gas project over allegations of secret Russian investment and control. ​All of this is happening just as the US administration moves to ease sanctions on Russia. ​

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Republicans think the only way to save Social Security is to cut benefits—they just talk in euphemisms. Democrats have better solutions, like finally scrapping the cap and making billionaires pay their fair share.

It will no doubt come as a shock to learn that Ukraine and Russia were in the final stages of negotiating an Oleshky truce four days ago, with nary a mention of the Trump admin, much less our Kissingerian First Lady. @kyivindependent.com kyivindependent.com/ukraine-russ...

I received the notice from SS about #Trumpaccounts clearly, but I also got a notice a week ago about my 2027 SS increase now being available. I went into my account and sure enough - it's not available, the last message being my account increase for 2026. Corruption v Incompetence?

Check your votes before the final submission, as there are many reports (TN, TX, FL to name a few) where selecting a Dem candidate is being switched to a GOP member.

I'm skeptical that AI companies like Anthropic have a real intent to share the wealth with the public as reported. If they're spending money to avoid paying taxes, what makes you think they will actually benefit the public rather than self-serving projects/recipients? #Anthropic #OpenAI

Girls! Girls! You're *both* right! Bask in the novelty.

Uh oh, HCR using all caps…

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Totally agree: James Talarico: ‘I Want An Economy That Creates Fewer Trillionaires And More Millionaires' #Talarico#wealthimbalance www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2i_...

ColoradoBallotTrax.com - sign up and they'll let you know if your ballot has been received and again when it has been counted (usually about 4-5 days after putting it in a drop box - not sure about mailing). You'll have time to fix anything if need be and can rest easy.

Mehdi Hasan asks a good question.

Here's JFK's magistral treatment of the question: www.jfklibrary.org/archives/oth... "The Supreme Court has written that as public officials "We are neither Jew nor Gentile, neither Catholic nor Agnostic." Would SCOTUS in '26 unanimously endorse this if "Muslim, Hindu, atheist, etc." were added?

A screenshot of a Medvedev quote is going around tied to a Trump video archive claim. Before you share it, check the source: screenshots are the easiest thing to fake and the hardest to retract. The submarine angle makes it travel faster, not truer. #MediaLiteracy #FactCheck

So this guy, allegedly in charge of foreign relations for the US, doesn’t really have any information about this topic? He just read something a few days ago? Is he lying or incompetent or too busy being Viceroy of Venezuela and plotting the Cuba invasion?

That was an absolute masterclass in using his bigotry as a teaching moment. You didn't insult him once, he got your message. You can see the cognitive dissonance gears smoking in his brain. This brought tears to my eyes,well done sir! Wish I could vote for you. Michigan is lucky to have you.

You’re so good at this, Mr. El-Sayed! You answered with alacrity, kindness and intelligence. Tommy was attempting to goad you into a gotcha moment, and you handled the racist question with clarity and a teaching moment. I hope Tommy learned something. We need you in the Senate! Kudos, sir! 👏👏👏👏

Amazingly clear explanation of freedom of religion!! I'd almost move to MI to vote for Abdul!!

This was a choice. Remember this.

everyone should be careful of #trump

Had a fun time at the NO KINGS in COS and got to meet the Dem candidate for U.S. rep. Also more trucks flying F--- Trump than For Trump!! #NoKings#JessicaKillin

Publicly traded companies are now obscenities, not based on reality and benefitting no one as much as the oligarchs who run them, and by extension, run the country. Employees, customers and communities are collateral damage. #Musk#oligarchs#Bezos

So let me be absolutely clear, if these trends hold we're looking at the highest midterm turnout rate since 1902. You heard me right. 1902. That is your story

President Zelenskyy was asked whether he feels he is being treated as a scapegoat for all the problems President Trump is currently facing with his approval ratings ahead of the congressional elections. President Zelenskyy sighed sadly, smiled, and said, "That's my answer."

When immigration agents struck a man with an SUV in Houston over the weekend, they said they were chasing an undocumented Mexican man facing deportation and multiple criminal charges. But the photo they shared of their target was of a man whose family says he died almost a decade ago.

So we are clear, "Russia Russia Russia" was *never* a hoax.

you can’t call a guy who looks like this “a little weasel“
