This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

NEW: Trump’s DOJ asked a judge to immediately block California from counting ballots from 20,000 alleged noncitizens after it took the unusual step of appealing its lawsuit before the lower court had a chance to rule. The request is the DOJ’s latest escalation in its ongoing battle in California.

We need to make the Democratic consultant class famous so that their names are a warning label.
Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

Russia was focused “in a bipartisan way” on trying to harm American politicians who had been supportive of Ukraine. The video targeting Talarico appeared as Steve Witkoff visited Moscow as pressing for an end to the war in Ukraine and, more broadly, tensions between the US and Russia.
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...

Let's be very clear. The American fascists are not in Moscow to sell out Ukraine, they are there to sell out the whole of Europe.

What happens when a president goes easy on mega corporations and monopolists while profiting off shady backroom deals? You’re forced to pay more and settle for less. I’m proud to be releasing this report alongside these amazing colleagues. Read about it here: balint.house.gov/news/documen...

Ah, the old 'London has fallen' racist bollocks from people who have never been here. London, older than most nations, has ALWAYS had Immigrants in it. It's what great cities do. #Racism #London #Whiteness #Immigration
The BC conservative claimed he is “truly sorry” but rejected NDP claims that his posts were racist. He had also shared a meme suggesting Pakistani immigrants have turned London into a “s—-hole.” Joachim Agou also posted a selfie denying genocide. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Microsoft literally told fragile white guys to use AI to compete with Black co-workers.
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Why is our president siding with the most evil authoritarian on the planet? Why not the democracy we pledged years ago to support? I think we all know.
Russia has hit Kyiv, Ukraine, with at least 6 ballistic missiles within the last 30 minutes, targeting 3 million civilians and infrastructure, after meeting with Trump's lapdog Witkoff, who praised Putin as a humanitarian and saluted him on behalf of the rogue United States.
