Resist authoritarianism

www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-... Corruption is THE issue that has Americans of all kinds turning on Trump and his minions. He’s getting rich. You’re getting screwed. Everyone running against a Republican should put it on a t-shirt.

This is fucking insane. It reads like a bad spy novel. The corruption is almost cartoonish at this point. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Russian disinformation campaign and Elon Musk going after Talarico. That’s all you need to know when deciding who to vote for: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/u...

The humanitarian Putin bombed more civilians today. Maybe Witkoff should spend a couple weeks in Kyiv to see first hand how much of a humanitarian his friend in Moscow is.

If your elderly relative routinely blew up at women and insulted them, grossly sexualized other men in public, regularly fell asleep in public mid-meeting repeatedly, and babbled incoherently you'd put him under care and not let him make important decisions.

Elon Musk is a naturalized citizen that just helped Russia, our greatest enemy, by suppressing Ukraine’s star link power. Pretty sure that’s treason

🚨BREAKING: DOJ dramatically escalated its confrontation with California election officials, explicitly warning that they could face federal criminal exposure if they count ballots from voters the Trump administration has flagged as potential noncitizens. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“Disapproval of the job Trump is doing has reached 77% on inflation, 70% on the economy, 69% on tariffs, and 64% on foreign policy… Trump’s overall job approval is 36%, his lowest ever in a Fox News survey for either term” www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

NEW: A U.S. president siding with the Kremlin is quite an October surprise But in just the past few days, Trump appears to have fully turned against Ukraine Inside the moves that have left Kyiv despairing ahead of a dark winter: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Officials told me they found the timing of the planned Patel trip to Russia bizarre - coming just weeks before the midterms- given the pressure that FBI leadership is putting on agents to substantiate election conspiracy theories at home that Russian intelligence services continuously amplify.

Not sure what an “energy ceasefire” is … but it’s probably something like, “Ukraine must stop bombing refineries and Russia can keep bombing apartment buildings.” www.reuters.com/world/europe...

I'm losing my mind, the Kansas City Star literally did a review of other litigious Kansas doctors and found that none of them charged Marshall's insane 18% interest

“Witkoff and Kushner raised the possibility that intelligence sharing could be cut off if Kyiv did not heed Washington’s warning to halt the strikes” on Russian refineries. “It was a firm request from POTUS. “Hours later, Ukrainian forces struck the Yug Rusi oil terminal in Rostov-on-Don.”

He makes a good point.

Troy Jackson: Senator Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire and now she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out.

Barack Obama is back in his role as Democrats’ closer-in-chief. He just cut ads for 24 Senate & gubernatorial campaigns—targeting races where he can help move persuadable voters. At 57% favorability, Obama is the most popular living president. Expect to see much more of him before Election Day. 💙

Oh good grief. I read the @time.com article earlier, and that was bad enough, but check out the transcript of the whole interview. It's like a distracted, mendacious dementia patient with ADHD. Unbelievable that this man is in charge of our country. time.com/article/2026...

#SenatorDipSchmitt gets pretty hot when he realizes he fucked up.

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

Our country is staring into the abyss, and much of our national press corps lacks the fortitude that this moment demands www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/b...

Hey Siri, please show me a glaring example of public corruption. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

For likely the first time in modern history, the Supreme Court decided more cases in fast-tracked, secretive proceedings than in open court. Watch us break down how a once-rare emergency process became the norm.

BREAKING: TV pool will not be providing coverage of presidential events until further notice b/c of CNN's ban, pool chair and FOX News Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton said. It's effectively a boycott by the fellow members — ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The trade war with Canada makes no economic sense. And most Americans agree. Polling shows they see Canadians as close allies, oppose the tariffs against them, and are actually cheering on Canadian retaliation. https://youtu.be/h8Fvnl0l7_8

Canada is one of our biggest trading partners. Donald Trump is one of our biggest economic illiterates. Now the rest of us are caught in the crossfire of an idiotic trade war that’s going to hurt regular people more than they’ll benefit.

News: James Talarico endorsed by David Maxwell, the high-ranking Texas Ranger who was among a group of top Attorney General officials who reported Ken Paxton to the FBI.

And if you think this is wrong and needs to be addressed they call you a communist

Trump's jackbooted thugs have no legitimate need to access voter data. There should already be laws on the books to prevent this sort of access. #Privacy #DataPrivacy fedscoop.com/ice-voter-da...

Folks on the right and left agree that government corruption is rampant. news.gallup.com/poll/713933/...

This is Hegseth’s Pentagon. A place that increasingly hates and rejects him. And he knows it. And is now ripping even deeper. He’s a virus. And the body of our military is fighting him any way that it can. And every day our enemies are celebrating the chaos and division he’s creating.🚨🇺🇸

In Major Leak Hunt, Pentagon Gives Polygraph Tests to Joint Staff Members. A disgrace. Perhaps a 4-star general officer should speak out against Hegseth’s attempt to humiliate and intimidate the military? If they get fired, so be it? Gen. Dan Caine? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/u...

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have violated federal ethics law in significant ways when filing his most recent disclosures of his assets and liabilities, ethics experts told ProPublica and @texastribune.org.

and shitty ratings!!

This is what you get when you elect a president so he can stay out of jail.

We took Donald Trump's advice to "go look at the clips" that could help drive turnout for the coming midterm elections. He's right, there are a lot of them...
