Free weekend update is out. Its mostly a deep dive into the Starlink/Starshield move by Trump and Musk (yes both of them) which did real damage to Ukraine and proved a point. Trump reacts to pressure, not flattery. Standing up to him is the only way. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...

Trump on data centers: "I say let them come in ... you should really be cool on data centers because you can make a fortune with the data centers" (Note the total silence of the crowd during this rant!)

We need diversity and real leaders. Vote all Blue💙💙💙

Thank you @barackobama.bsky.social for joining me in that fight.

President Obama Is Freakin Right...

President Obama perfectly sums up Trump/MAGA: Cruelty corruption and incompetence. “After two years of chaos and cruelty and corruption and incompetence, the likes of which we have not seen in the modern era, you get a chance to say: Enough is enough!” www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10...

Albania's Flamingo Revolution began over a Jared Kushner-backed luxury resort project, but “it has developed into huge anti-corruption protests," says organizer Boba Mema.

Americans have now spent $142 billion more on gasoline and diesel since March 1, enough to buy 361,000 homes at the September median price, enough to house over 900,000 people, due to the US war on Iran and other factors like limited output from Russia

Criminal Trump, Continues To Bribe Voters,Only If He Wins.......?

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

Obama is still extraordinarily popular. I think he’ll help for sure. He knocked his rally in Ohio out of the park today. I didn’t see the one in Michigan, but I’m sure it was equally fantastic. I miss him so much. We really took decency for granted.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration’s campaign to obtain states’ unredacted voter rolls suffered its 27th consecutive district court loss Friday, this time at the hands of a judge appointed by President Donald Trump. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Yes!

Mike Rogers can keep his yachts and his McMansion in Florida.

The trajectory of Ramaswamy's odds in the Ohio governor's race has been clear for the last few weeks. But the campaign's decision this week to air a deeply personal attack ad against Amy Acton confirmed the race is slipping away from him—and perhaps creating collateral damage for fellow Republicans.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Rape. She was raped. As a child.

Vivek Ramaswamy, the GOP nominee for Ohio governor, released an ad in which his opponent’s mother calls her “a liar.” Democratic candidate Amy Acton hasn’t been in contact with her mother since 1978. These documents corroborate her childhood trauma story.

When Dems retake control of Congress arrest him and hold him incommunicado pending charges for high treason, war crimes and crimes against humanity. He must be made an example of. To show the world that his seditious arrogance and subversive criminality will not be tolerated.

AIPAC is set to put millions more dollars into the race to try and defeat our movement. We beat over $30 million in AIPAC spending in the primary...help us beat them again. ➡️ matchaipac.com ⬅️

🚨 HERE WE GO AGAIN: GAS PRICES JUST JUMPED. The national average shot up overnight to $4.29 a gallon — and diesel climbed to $6.32. Americans are getting hammered at the pump and at the checkout line. If you’re sick of paying the price, remember in November — and VOTE OUT all Republicans!

Q: Your ambassador to Turkey just said that 'absolutely, there could a strike on Iran this weekend.' Have you gone back on holding off until after the midterms? TRUMP: If that's the case, I don't know anything about it

This guy is a danger to every single American! Trump is too stupid,and too distracted to see how dangerous to our Democracy Russell Vought really is!!

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

🚨 WAIT A MINUTE: Melania Trump is now being credited with brokering a ceasefire in Ukraine by the White House—just one week after Pope Leo personally called Vladimir Putin to push for the SAME THING.

The Associated Press is reporting the White House's account without mentioning the Pope's earlier intervention. So why is the White House taking credit for an initiative Pope Leo was publicly pursuing a week ago?

She is my Representative and I have voted for her each time I could. And her sign is in my front yard!

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.

Donald Trump is losing a key base that helped him clinch victory in 2024. trib.al/Lb82L8N

"My deepest respect has always been, and remains, for the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States.<> My concern throughout has been that my own circumstances not become a distraction from the service and sacrifice of those still holding the line." - Maj. Watson in his motion hearing.

A fitting metaphor. Reporting via @washingtonpost

The charges intensified the administration’s efforts to go after the law enforcement and intelligence personnel who cast doubt on unsubstantiated claims that Joseph R. Biden Jr. engaged in corrupt dealings in Ukraine. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

“It doesn’t get much richer than this. Every deposition, every document, every witness under oath now adds to the record Trump has spent years trying to erase. He sued to rewrite history. History is answering under oath.”

Trump “testimony about his conduct & state of mind on January 6 poses the risk of undermining the arguably broadest work of his presidency: to scrub the pages of history to excise his shameful scheme to foment a violent insurrection to steal the election.”— @harrylitman.bsky.social Petard, hoisted
