The truest thing JD Vance has said in a long, long time.

JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

Washington DC was an almost entirely segregated city in the 1970s-80s. It is now largely mixed, with large areas of easy racial crossover. Also restaurants and fresh produce are far better, and the murder rate is far lower than in the late 80s/early 90s

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Ohio voter: The fact that Ramaswamy hasn't disowned the ad is beyond comprehension. It's the ugliest thing I've seen in my lifetime.

During this investigation, we traveled to locations around the United States where President Trump has moved to ease pollution rules, including to Port Neches, Tx. where there is a middle school a few blocks from the chemical plant considered by the EPA the largest cancer threat nationwide.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

nytimes.comHow Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

Vile vile man!

Trump on what he told Vivek Ramaswamy about his vile ad: "I told him, Leave it up! And look upstairs and say, Thank you God very much, I appreciate it!"

“Zuckerberg” Kate Lore We brought our lives to your gathering place: our children’s faces, the names of our dead, the small lamps we lit for one another. We came looking for old friends and found them. Now we watch you bow to Trump and wonder how long our lights will be allowed to burn.

Step by step, day by day, Americans experience the big platforms becoming Orwellian political censors. The US needs a federal government that will tax them and break them up; the democratic world needs to learn the lesson and protect itself.

Josh Sternberg@joshsternberg.com

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

No president can abuse power alone: he needs a complicit Congress, and contractors to do the physical work. Riverbend's owner Logan Jones could have said "we can't start that fast", or "we need to wait for the court order". He didn't. You can call and tell him what you think. 2/ riverbendva.com

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

This looks like a carjacking. I think any reasonable person would hit the gas.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

just catching up on JD Vance telling Hannity that Jeffrey Epstein is actually "a great character reference" for Donald Trump 😳

"A dozen orcs stormed the Palantir offices in Seattle this week to apply for jobs at the surveillance tech company. Palantir's militarized AI products attracted the horde of orcs, who hoped that their history of serving the Dark Lords would land them a gig. Unfortunately, Palantir didn't bite." 🤣

“It’s not that I wouldn’t cheat” is an incredible thing for a president to say

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I was playing golf and we had hundreds of Secret Service all over the course. In fact, they said, 'Does Trump cheat?' I can't cheat. You have 250 Secret Service agents running down. It's not that I wouldn't cheat, but you can't move the ball."

I’ve always been an organizer. My occupation may change, but my vocation stays the same. As our next Senator, I will always fight to make sure Minnesotans can afford their lives.

Crowds took to the streets of Dublin to protest Trump’s visit to Ireland, with demonstrators invoking Trump’s ties to Epstein and his alliance with Netanyahu.
