Blatantly illegal. Rubio needs to be hauled in front of Congress when we finally get a Congress. www.washingtonsun.com/administrati...

How fucking embarrassing

There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.

Tommy Tuberville pledged in 2020 to donate his Senate salary to Alabama veterans & families. An investigation found no evidence he did. The pledge is worth roughly $1 million. Asked about it, he had staff remove him, then called the media socialists and communists. www.huffpost.com/entry/tommy-...

The corruption is just staggering. Dozens of dozens of pardons being given out to wealthy criminals paying millions for them. The US government is for sale to the highest bidders & DOJ operates as Trump’s consigliere. Have you had enough of this yet America? I know the world has.

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

Energy Secretary Wright is campaigning with Ken Paxton today in Texas. A reminder that government officials partaking in campaign events should not be normal.

So she's either a hopelessly gullible rube or a liar. Take your pick. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Absolutely. 👇

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Trump doesn’t care about the general public. His only concern is walling off public lands into private enclaves and business opportunities for himself and wealthy cronies.

Oh, honey . . . your tweet didn't violate corporate policy; it violated every known standard of professional journalism.

It’s not just about affordability. Maybe for the first time since 1974, voters say their main concern heading into the midterms is corruption in government. Great to see.

People are claiming that Elon Musk messed with Starlink in Ukraine because Trump asked him. I think a more likely reason is that Ukraine damaging Russian data centers embarrassed Elon by showing how many of his Twitter followers are nonexistent and how much traffic on Twitter is driven by bots.

Truth 👇

The latest de Adder cartoon, and right on point as usual.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

You have to appreciate the fact that these idiots always make these comments and never realize the context and facts.

Revisiting this one because seeing traitors held accountable makes me smile.

"Well, they agreed. You know why? Because I said, 'You agree.' That's why." That's the president explaining a ceasefire Moscow says it never signed and Kyiv says it was never asked about.

Gosh, anyone know anyone who voted to approve all of this?!?

"It's time to make our government work for all of us... and not just the 1%." ~ Bernie Sanders #DavidHorsey

The most corrupt and unethical president in US history by far.

Last month, California's power grid supported the highest electricity demand since 2022 without any emergency measures. That was no accident — the Golden State is proving that clean energy and battery storage systems are the best ways to keep the lights on.

Josh Turek: We have a corruption crisis that's leading to an affordability crisis because we're sending people like Ashley Hinson up to DC—not to fight for the people of Iowa, but to make themselves more wealthy. She's made cuts to healthcare and Social Security to give billionaires tax breaks.

Mentions of "Fauci" on X have mostly vanished since the data centers in Russia were destroyed by Ukrainian bombs. SMITE!💥

Meet the new press secretary, same as the old press secretary.

Forget Benedict Arnold. Trump is America’s worst traitor of all time, and Putin’s greatest asset. .. (cartoon David Horsey)

Troy Jackson: "Sen. Collins says that she voted against it 9 times, but she didn't have the votes. Well, that sounds like then we probably ought to have Democrats in charge of the Senate so we have the votes to stop this war and hold Donald Trump in check. It sounds like Republicans won't do that."

It’s genuinely sad to watch. The President is so weak and incapable of negotiating a real deal that he just posts fake ones on social media and hopes people believe him, until every party involved puts out a statement calling him a liar. We’ve never seen weakness like this in the Oval Office.

"The government is legally forbidden by a court order from converting the Roxbury site to a detention facility... But an NPR investigation has found signs that the facility is being used. The state's Office of the Attorney General is looking into similar reports..." www.npr.org/2026/10/08/n...

In an administration of ignorant morons, Markwayne somehow manages to stand out.

We really are in the dumbest timeline right now..

Love them to pieces. I'm so lucky to be their grandson.
