Sheriffs have been doing this for four years, something I kept writing about but most people did not take seriously. www.cbsnews.com/news/federal...

He should not be allowed to have any government contracts--he is operating like a rogue state.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social says America needs to hold corrupt officials accountable if we want to move forward as a country. She explains what that might look like if Democrats retake Congress in the midterm elections on @revealnews.org's “More To The Story.” Listen: https://tinyurl.com/spkmzstr

We are witnessing the disgraceful attempt by the United States to make Ukraine break so that Vladimir Putin can declare victory in his disastrous war. Donald Trump is an open puppet of the Kremlin. The United States political, legal, military and media establishment are along for the ride.

With Trump's removal of Starlink, Russians are now hunting cars full of people in Kyiv, using jet drones for which Ukraine's interceptors no longer function to stop. Three people murdered an hour ago in southern Kyiv, with six others injured, three of which are children.

Doctors and hospitals that treat people in immigration detention have gone about a year without being paid. Now ICE plans to keep the company hired to fix that problem for up to four more years, without taking bids from anyone else.

A U.S. envoy calling murderer Putin a humanitarian while visiting him in Kremlin — when after failing to achieve his military goals, Putin directs Ukrainian civilians to be hunted in the streets or executed in their own homes. Kids will read about this one day and ask: what was everyone else doing?

When we said women needed to vote like their lives depended on it, we werent joking www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/m...

Replace "Boeing 737s" with "empty warehouses" and you've got the same play that DHS under Noem pulled. And a source on background told us in February the sales were meant to help well-connected Trump affiliates offload industrial properties that were liabilities on their books.

THOU SHALT ARREST ELON MUSK! THOU SHALT NATIONALIZE STARLINK! !

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

Death by malicious negligence is a defining characteristic of concentration camps

Putin proposing a summit with him, Donald Trump, and Xi Jinping to decide the fate of Ukraine reminds me of the time I had dinner with Taffy and Delores to decide how to trick Darlene into selling her beachfront condo to us for 70% below market value. Good times!

Listen to the Canadians cheer the notion of greater independence from the United States. The world is prepared to move on without us. And I don’t blame them. I would move on from us, too. Video: buff.ly/ws894FH

DONALD TRUMP: "My decision on Russia is very simple." Oh, honey . . . *everything* you think is very simple.

Russia is now drafting and mobilizing men at the airports as they try and go through passport control. Men are denied exit from the country and told to report to a military recruitment office.

LIVE from No Kings #4 in Washington, D.C. Americans across the country are coming together to make their message clear: VOTE EARLY!

Bless these students! ❤️

So the president claims not to know who did something that should only be doable, if at all, with the president’s knowledge, if not by the president himself.

We needed this! Keeping hope alive.

My name is not the reason we're paying $5/gallon for gas. My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name is not the reason you can't afford your mortgage or rent. My name is not the reason you can't see a doctor. Their policies are the reason.

🌐 The Kremlin spent years building its idea of a “sovereign internet,” centralizing services and tightening control. Now, one by one, Russia’s data centers are being hit – and when such a centralized system loses key infrastructure, there are very few alternatives ready to replace it.

Part of the reason why Congress seems like it’s run by distant elites who don’t get it is because it is run by elites, who have little experience of what it means to struggle in this country. Only 2% of Congress members have spent any part of their adulthood in the working class.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

David Flippo failed to reveal his assets for years. His largest known investment is in a company co-founded by a businessman who has been accused of fraud and who has helped bankroll his campaign.

🚨 WOW: WSJ reports Ken Paxton partied in a luxury Dubai high-rise with 2 FUGITIVES, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, facing fed charges over an alleged $15 MILLION hospital embezzlement scheme — alongside his gf (not his wife). Ahmed donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER his indictment.

Way to go, Ukraine! 🇺🇦

A real Amacher job

Under-radar stakes: Supreme Court elections. Justices who’ve upheld restrictions on abortion are up next month in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Texas. Justices who have sided with abortion access are up in Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Wyoming.

On a positive note, judging by how furious these fucks are and how they've brought out the real big guns to force Ukraine to stop, the strikes against Russia's oil industry are clearly having a very serious impact.

📌Win or lose, if Willie Nelson endorses you, you are the better man.

No one is arguing the Fort Hood shooter shouldn’t be punished for the horrific crime he committed. The point is that the execution shouldn’t be live streamed on national television, because of the damage that does to us.
