BREAKING: We're asking the Office of Special Counsel & State Dept IG to investigate reports that diplomats' promotions hinge on how they vote & who they donate to If true, that's a political loyalty test & the law bars it @democracydefendersfund.org complaint 👇

Ever heard someone say "protest doesn't change anything"? Brazil and Serbia just proved them wrong. 🇧🇷 🇷🇸

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

It is a crime to vote in federal elections if you are not a U.S. citizen, and the number of times such votes are cast is vanishingly low. As May notes, since the second Trump administration began it has charged—not obtained convictions, charged—just 156 people out of 227 million registered voters.

Elizabeth Warren Is On A Roll.......

❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely 👇

conservative lawyer George Conway commented: “*ss not what you can do for your country—*ss what you can do for [Donald Trump].” It’s quite a closing message for the last days of the 2026 midterm campaign.

Nailed it.

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

Attn: The Trump administration is attempting to violate a judge’s order again. A judge blocked the reorganization of the Forest Service. Now Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the Trump administration is “full-bore ahead” with its sweeping Forest Service reorganization.

Draw what analogies you will.

East Potomac Park has 3 golf courses, mini golf, a playground, picnic spots & a road locals run & bike on Trump's plan could swap most of that for a single 18-hole course @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are in court to keep it public More @nytimes.com👇 -TN

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

It seems that Trump, Putin, and their allies in the administration are trying to replace the post–World War II order and carve the world up into the system of spheres of influence as quickly as possible before the midterms. Central to those systems are private deals to enrich Trump and his cronies.

🚨Ex-GOP political strategist Steve Schmidt has called for the “immediate removal” of Donald Trump’s son-in-law from “every diplomatic assignment” following an explosive report alleging that Jared Kushner secretly had access to roughly $1.75 billion in Gulf money while serving in the White House.

Here’s a thought- if you use starlink, and no shame if you do, on November 3rd in the United States (all time zones) turn it off. Unplug the receiver from its power source. Probably useless, but let’s limit the ability for any fuckery in the election. Please share.

This is sad. General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s historic World War II globe was broken when Pete Hegseth’s team dropped it while trying to move it into his office.

While we're talking about Dwight Eisenhower...

Russia was never a hoax

THIS 👇 TOO.......

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

And when she worked as an admin in DHHS Kati accessed private patient files illegally, which got her fired.

10/21 In Lewiston, Senator Susan Collins wouldn't say if she blamed President Trump for the state of the economy but the former U.S. senator campaigning with her, Joe Manchin, didn't hesitate to say Trump and his policies were "definitely to blame." #maine #MEpolitics

Republicans’ 2025 extension of their 2017 tax cuts will reduce government revenues by $4.5 trillion over the next ten years. Their cuts to Medicaid and SNAP reduced spending by $1.1 trillion. That leaves a growing deficit that climbs to more than $4 trillion as the cost of servicing the debt grows.

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.

Remember when everyone was supposed to get “DOGE dividends” and $2,000 tariff rebates? Now Elon Musk is promising to give every child a SpaceX share, while Trump is claiming he'll dole out $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms. Their desperation is showing. Don’t be fooled.

These four stories, just from today, encapsulate the administration’s betrayal of U.S. national security, its corruption, and its disregard for the welfare of Americans. It’s not a great record to run on.

I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?
