If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

The evolution of JD Vance’s political mindset, in 4 steps: 1. This guy Trump seems like Hitler. 2. He sure is popular. 3. I want to be popular too. 4. I want to be Hitler too.

Regarding the whole issue of who ordered the slowdown of Starlink in Ukraine: Fuck em both - Trump & Musk. Fuck em both. The bottom line is that both Elon Musk and Donald Trump are actively helping Putin kill Ukrainian civilians. Both Musk and Trump have blood on their hands. Fuck em both.

I’m asked all the time, of my former Republican colleagues, who’s worse - the MAGA crazy true believers like Ron Johnson, or Republicans who are not MAGA crazy true believers like Marco Rubio. And I always say Republicans like Rubio. Because Rubio knows better, and he still willingly sold his soul.

A stuttering Marco Rubio: “Nobody ordered that Starlink speed to be slowed down. It sorta happened.”

Trump calls Somali Americans "garbage" and said today about Ilhan Omar: “She comes from a country that is a non-country." If he'd been alive in 1915, he would've said that about Italians. If it was 1850, he would've said it about the Irish. He traffics in ethnic hate. We have to stop him.

Trump to crowd: “It’s amazing. I can say the stupidest things, and you clap.” Crowd: claps In the history of dumb fucking cults, MAGA is by far, the fucking dumbest.

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

Ossoff is acting like Trump/MAGA/GOP and what they’ve done to the country is Actually Bad. Charismatic and well spoken, which sure helps. But no “my friends across the aisle,” no acting like the imaginary “Baileys” are the only ones who matter, no “don’t talk values, only kitchen table.” That’s it.

Bill McKibben@billmckibben.bsky.social

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

And here I thought the U.S. was the world's biggest oil exporter and we didn't need it from anyone. Isn't that what he's been saying?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I think you heard about the oil deal with Russia. That is a big deal. That is massive amounts of oil coming into our country, and I want to thank President Putin to be honest with you."

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge gains 4) Repeat This is why we must get Big Money out of politics — and support the candidates who will fix the system.

20 years ago the top 15 political spenders put less than $15 million into the midterms. Then Citizens United was decided. Now, just 170 billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms. Just in case you wondered why the economy only seems to work for the rich.

John Kennedy is a literal Rhodes Scholar who then ran for office as a Republican & now talks like a man named Earl who steals chickens.

John Kennedy keeps asking Jack Smith questions about his wife. Smith repeatedly tells him he's not going to talk about his family.

Trump to sign an executive order renaming failure as success, defeat as victory, war as peace, poverty as prosperity and tyranny as democracy. (Probably.)

The most corrupt administration in the history of the US by far. You could add up all instances of corruption by every other admin in US history and it will not equal the amount of corruption perpetrated by this one in less than 2 years.

It’s getting harder to shake the feeling the USA isn’t being set up for something awful by an adversary who understood how cheap it was to hire Donald Trump & a drunk sex pest from Fox News to destroy our military.

The evidence mounts that Trump picked Hegseth because he knew he was mentally disturbed enough to order American troops to fire on American citizens.

Hegseth: "Today, at my direction, I'm establishing the Office of Religious Affairs. It will report straight to the top -- a direct line to the secretary ... as Psalm 33:12 extolls us, blessed is the nation in which God is the Lord"

We must be prepared for that traitor in the White House to do ANYTHING to fuck with the midterm elections this year. Anything. And when he does, we must be prepared to do anything to defend our elections.

Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor. Donors make huge profits while workers get shafted. Repeat. This is not a coincidence. It's a political-economic system that's been corrupted by design.

Corporate media have decided it might complicate their profit outlook if they told the American people that the president is a deranged criminal.

Remember: Trump's attacks on the IRS were never about "efficiency." They were about making it easier for wealthy and powerful people like him to skirt what they owe.

ITEP@itep.org

The Trump administration is not publishing data on the gap in unpaid taxes. The most recent estimate of this tax gap was $700 billion in 2022. After severe IRS staff cuts and fewer audits on the wealthy, this gap has likely grown under Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/b...

No matter what he calls the ballroom, it must come down. No matter what he calls the golden arch, it must come down. He does not have the legal authority to build either one. Both, if built, must come down.

We really have to consider the possibility that we elected the dumbest motherfucker in America. Twice. Do better, people.

Trump: "If I'm in an electric boat and I see I'm going down and the water is pouring in, so I know I'm going to be electrocuted, but 5 yards away there are sharks. Do I take the electrocution or do I go swimming with the sharks? I'll take the electrocution."

There's a term for when oligarchs buy news outlets and bend them to the will of the dictator. It's called "media capture."

Media Matters for America@mmfa.bsky.social

Every major nightly news show covered the breaking story about a Russian oligarch bankrolling Donald Trump Jr's wedding celebration — except CBS.

Donald Trump is a big believer in eugenics for two reasons: 1. He is a racist; and 2. Piggybacking on his intelligent uncle's genes is Donald's only shot at pretending to have a IQ number greater than his golf handicap.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

Imagine an American president lying about 9/11. Actually, you don’t have to.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
