Nothing quite like doubling down on rape.

Don't know about you, but I'm dog-tired of drug-addled trillionaire rapists complaining about what's wrong with anyone at all. Don't they own mirrors?

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.

Franklin D. Roosevelt: "The only thing we have to fear is, fear itself." John F. Kennedy: "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." Donald Trump: “I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before: Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss."

We should bring back union halls and democracy clubs and other public forumsfor gathering and socializing that are not centered on profit making.

You can build a whole movement on this observation: that real men get shit done, serve others, uphold justice, treat their women with respect, etc. Legions of men are adrift. And they are getting scammed hand over fist.

They’re one step away from making the Access Hollywood tape into a positive ad.

The deeper reason Trump, Vance, and Ramaswamy are backing the vile rape ad is they think MAGA politics—the cruelty, the depravity, the viciousness—is still ascendant. They think doing this esesentially puts Trump on the ballot. Me and @jimswift.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2169...

Vivek Ramaswamy thinks childhood sexual abuse is a character flaw. Being a colossal asshole, apparently, is not.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

AKA JD Dumbass!

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

"If you don't vote for Republicans I'll shut off my satellites for the US military." Musk, probably soon

The American civil religion is getting really fucking weird.

There is no bottom for the Republican Party. It is a force for evil I’ve watched for my entire adult life (I’m almost 49). This is why I can’t stand calls for bipartisanship or demonstrations of the old boys and girls club. They’re fucking monsters who ruin the very fabric of society.

Trump and Elon can point fingers at each other all they want but this has endangered soldiers and civilians in Ukraine.

No private citizen, let alone a trillionaire, should be able to order or direct vital national security actions to appease a President’s grudges.

Trump administration unambiguously showing its alignment with Putin

"instead of trying to make better choices, I'm going to just let others choose for me. Then I can blame them and say it's not my fault."

Promises of money for everyone! 2 weeks to election day policy messaging.

Stunning Christian values

Shit

“Trump and Putin have teamed up to murder Ukrainians” is a better headline. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

I did not realize that a Confederate soldier had been immortalized making JD Vance's explicit argument

This 👇

Look, we all knew Ramaswamy was a massive piece of shit but apparently he was really worried that we didn't know *just* how massive a piece of shit he was, so, great job, Vivek, you've certainly cleared that one up, haven't you

Incentivizing Trump voters to call in their suspicions about about black and brown people? What's the worst that could happen?

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

nicholasjorcutt.substack.com/p/the-news-i... They are lying.

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.)

Every time they say “paid protestor,” they’re just projecting. Creeps.

4. Then last week, he made a series of decisions so brazen it shocked the cynical opportunists of the Washington press corps. The New Yorker's Susan Glasser said there is an October Surprise this election season. It's Trump's "pivot to Putin." www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Trump says that Abdul El-Sayed is a "fake doctor" just days after Trump's Press Secretary Katie Zacharia resigned in shame after lying about being a lawyer

This is what it looks like when billionaires and their lapdogs order journalists to capitulate to power, rather than hold it to account.

Tech press: Look at that car fly!

As a white guy, I’m happy to disavow Nazis, the KKK and Trump any time. And colonialism. And… (damn, this is going to be a long list).

March 25, 2023 in Waco, Texas, Trump declared he would end the Ukraine war within 24 hours of being elected. Then he made the same promise FIFTY-TWO more times. www.cnn.com/2025/04/25/p...

And lying that he was in a hospital in Ohio for depression; I'd just like to ask, where's Mitch's cognitive tests?

Treason in America by openly supporting Putin in opposition to Congress!

Imagine if, four years after invading Iraq, we controlled only 20% of it and had suffered 1.3 million casualties. Would anyone call that “winning”? Of course not. But when it’s Russia, we’re supposed to believe Putin holds all the cards.

There are still people claiming Trump isn't racist, if you can believe it.

Our real government is some combination of Elon Musk, Stephen Miller and Natalie Harp

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.
