The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

NEW: Don Trump Jr.--after helping pick top Pentagon officials to join his dad's administration--has now become an investor and advisor to Pentagon drone builders. This as President Trump orders Pentagon to buy more drones. A NYT investigation of this latest conflict. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

BREAKING: The California Supreme Court has DENIED the University of California's request that it block the release of a 28-page, $1.2-billion fine Trump administration UCLA settlement offer. UC is required to give a faculty group the document today. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Unbelievable. UC has now taken its case to the California Supreme Court, asking for a stay of the court’s order to release the demand letter. What the hell is in that thing?? www.latimes.com/california/s...

Think about this post often.

Trump demanding $230 million from the DOJ, that he controls, is a shakedown of the American taxpayers so that Trump can line his own pockets. “There’s a government shutdown happening right now across the street, and on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, they’re tearing down the East Wing.”

NEWS: Trump is finalizing plans to offer U.S. asylum to far right, anti-immigrant protesters in Europe. Meanwhile, he posts videos of himself literally shit-bombing U.S. protesters. This sums it up. Freedom for neo-nazis. Feces for my people. www.treason.io/p/read-trump...

You know they’re out of arguments when they go from “Hamas-loving terrorist Antifa Marxists” to “Ya….well, I saw a lot of old people.”

Mike Johnson calls this "the most threatening thing he's seen yet."

Today is the day! Will you be there? Be sure to tag us in your pictures! We will be resharing pictures of fellow #NoKings protestors all day!

At least 14 people who’ve written books critical of Donald Trump have been threatened, investigated, or prosecuted by him. This is just a coincidence, right? Surely it has nothing to do with our criticisms.

In our country, the power is with the people. Tomorrow, October 18, I encourage you to join your neighbors in peaceful protest at a No Kings event.

A revealingly creepy formulation by Speaker Johnson. What does he mean by “they” are going to “descend” on “our” capital? WE are going to assemble in OUR communities exercising OUR constitutional rights in defense of OUR nation.

Trump and his cronies have spread desperate lies about No Kings Day — calling peaceful participants "terrorists" and "criminals." You know why? Because they want us to shut up and go away. That's how kings and dictators win. But we won't let them. See you tomorrow. NO KINGS.

Jimmy Kimmel: The American Revolution was a No Kings rally.

Yonder it go. Mass block or pick and choose at your leisure -- bsky.app/profile/eva....

This is not a minor issue: it’s a serious threat to democracy. We’re rapidly transitioning into a world where, as long as you support the president, you can be above the law; if you’re in the opposition, you have a target on your back. Opposition can’t survive under these conditions.

This Saturday’s “No Kings” protests are likely to again be the beau idéal of what peaceful protests should be. But they’ll also be anti-Trump, so Republicans are compelled to denounce attendees as anti-American troublemakers.

Entirely inaccurate. The GOP always has a fantasy group of undesirables they insist Democrats are catering to. All while insisting they are the elites and funded by the elites. The reality is the Democrats do more to cater to regular citizens and the GOP is a service to further enrich the richest

The higher prices aren’t inflation, they’re taxes, doesn’t seem like a tremendous point to me, but you do you.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

You all should be outraged about this. For real. youtu.be/5fTv9ThJg6U?...

Lazy bastards 😪 🤔

TEN DUDES? On a *private jet*? These motherfuckers are not even *pretending* they're not pushin' weight on these flights. Also that dude is still the most obvious cokehead in the picture and he's standing next to Don Jr, that's kind of a tip-off.

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

MAGA: “why didn’t Biden release the files and why didn’t you guys call for it?!” America: “Because we assumed the justice dept was doing their job. But you all demanded it and now Trump is panicking…. So uh, ya now we def want to know why he’s panicking.” See? Easy!

This is an important interview. A couple stopped and profiled by border patrol comes to a realization: who they voted for lied to them. It takes courage to admit it, and more to go public. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Democracy Forward just sued the DOJ for undercover FBI videotapes that would show Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, accepting a $50k bribe to steer government contracts.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply can’t feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

If you're looking for a weekend pod, check out our conversation with Chris Murphy. He delivers one of clearest descriptions yet of the dangers of the moment and offers the strongest case yet for Dems to maximize their resistance.

As soon as I read the words “ass clown factory” I had to double check it was the real FBI director’s account and not some parody. It’s real.

It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy. Trump admin is planning to do it anyway. By Alan Rappeport www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/b...

I began Hounds for many reasons. One was to write protest music at a time it's astonishing how few major artists are releasing anything that acknowledges what's happening in America. I hope you’ll spread the word about Hounds, as protest music is thin on the ground right now—and that is a *tragedy*.

Heard you were calling generals fat when the booze had you feeling brave

“Democrats are radical leftists who shut down the government” = non-political message forced on government bureaucrats’ OOO message. A pride flag = “FIRE HIM NOW FOR POLITICS”

Father Michael Pfleger calls out Trump and says that the "state of emergency is in America"

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours. Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House. This government shutdown is on them.
