REAGAN: “When someone says let’s impose tariffs, it may look like they’re doing the patriotic thing… but over the long run trade barriers hurt every 🇺🇸 worker.” 🇨🇦 Ontario just ran this👇🏽powerful ad using Reagan’s voice against Trump’s trade war during game 7 of the ALCS ⚾️

A spokesperson for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott argued his office’s emails with Elon Musk are confidential under a “common-law privacy” exception to public records laws because they may include “intimate and embarrassing” information. (Published July) With @kutnews.bsky.social @texastribune.org

Tariffs making everything more expensive, Republicans shutting down the government, health care premiums set to skyrocket, demolishing the rule of law, a hateful mass deportation agenda. This picture really sums up the last 9 months of the Trump presidency.

He’s spending millions for a ballroom while American soldiers go without pay…

WOW... JUST WOW... In order to justify invoking the insurrection act in Portland, Oregon, trump faked a riot with professional videographers, the military and hired extras. Sen. Jeffrey Merkley tells us what happened :

Americans would be wise to understand what the Stasi was. The East German secret police "sought to infiltrate every institution of society and every aspect of daily life," with files on 6 million citizens, more than 1/3rd of the population. The Trump regime is building its version of the Stasi. 1/2

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

“That’s state-funded. Not federal.” “You’re right.” @chadkultgen.bsky.social’s MAGA mom slowly realizes Republicans have been lying to her that Dems are fighting for undocumented people to be covered by federal insurance, which is not allowed by federal law.

NEW: if you’re planning on taking I-5 to the No Kings rally, you might wanna leave now. In order to disrupt our protests, they’re shutting parts of it down. meidasnews.com/news/exclusi...

EXCLUSIVE: Governor Gavin Newsom’s office confirmed to MeidasTouch he is working with local partners to minimize what would be “a massive disruption, and reckless disregard for California’s infrastructure and communities.”

Did I miss any updates on the investigation into the motive of Charlie Kirk’s killer? It feels like that just disappeared as a story, which is strange considering his exaltation within GOP and making his murder into a national event. I’d think we’d be getting hearing about it frequently

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

Wow. Trump's masked federal agents tear-gassed a crowd in Chicago and ended up gassing a bunch of local Chicago cops who were there to *deescalate tensions.* One local cop was captured on film washing out his eyes with a hose: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples? HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

Trump is counting on you thinking that everyone’s on board with his politicization of the military. He’s wrong - most Americans can see right through it. Read more here:

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose. I never bluff and I usually win.

Why the hell does Trump’s Department of War keep using RUSSIAN military images? This is by no mean the first time this has happened.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social: "It’s not quite the same constellation of normie lib groups behind No Kings this time around. Our friends at @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social are participating too—rolling out a $1 million campaign today to encourage Americans to attend this Saturday."

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital. "We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU" www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

The search on Mar-a-Lago happened in August 2022. Jack Smith was appointed Special Counsel in November 2022. Time, how does it work

🤡

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m. The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom. While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop. The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

People need to start highlighting that Miller is actually the shadow President and the one calling the shots. When it was Musk who was doing it, it caused a rift between them so big that after he was out, Musk was bashing Trump claiming he is in the Epstein files.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...” apnews.com/article/pope...

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

He got the COVID and flu Vaccines like every 79 year old should this is a good thing. "Cardiovascular age validated by by ECG and found to be 14 years younger than chronological age" is a nonsensical phrase. I am an internist this is not something we do or write in medical reports.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

Epstein files giving House Republicans over two months paid vacation and counting.

Robert De Niro: “Now we have a would-be king — King Donald the First. Fuck that. I’m Robert De Niro and I’m asking you to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th” 👉👉 nokings.org

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

Trump is giving another taxpayer-funded bailout to billionaires, and working class MAGA cultists won’t say a peep.

I’m sure this is fine. abcnews.go.com/US/dominion-...

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles. You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Without provocation, masked federal agents indiscriminately shoot peaceful protesters with rubber bullets from the rooftop of the Portland ICE facility.

As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...
