Donald Trump says that Barack Obama could have gotten the October 7th hostages released during his presidency, raising new concerns about Joe Biden's memory and cognition.

It's not the best strategy for the next 2-4 years (or rather, 2-4 years is medium term). The best strategy for the short term is: 1) Get 3.5% of the population in the streets protesting 2) Peel off 4 Senators and 8 Congresspeople

I'd be interested to hear Musk's understanding of what "the war on drugs" means

NYT wrote a 2,400 word story abt Todd Blanche without mentioning that he personally ordered the arrest of Newark Mayor @rasjbaraka.bsky.social, and as such is deeply implicated in @replamonica.bsky.social case. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/u...

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Trump’s temporarily ceasefire won’t hold. How many weeks before Israel is back at it bombing civilians? Repost for 4 Like for 6

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

How do I make Justice Kavanaugh watch this?

Trump is not well. He thinks Biden was president on January 6, 2021. And his own FBI Director said the FBI agents were sent in for crowd control after the riot started.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee says they've awarded this year's honor to María Machado of Venezuela. But an AI video posted on the MAGA MOMS 4 LIBERTY Facebook page clearly shows that the prize was awarded to Donald Trump. For busy MAGA moms for liberty, it can be hard to know who to trust.

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit. This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2016...

How Trump plays you: He posts a claim undermining the facts about January 6. YOU ALL DISSEMINATE IT!!! You don't mock that he's complaining that the FBI responded to a terrorist attack. You instead "fact check" re his claim that Joe Biden was in charge of the FBI--which is abt tribalism, not truth

Which means they’re away from their day jobs but not being paid.

If James visits the home regularly then it is available to her for personal use, which means it is not a “rental investment property” as defined by the mortgage rider…and therefore negates the central claim of the indictment

What’s that sound? Is it the rumble of tanks and humvees in the streets of Portland? Naw, that’s just the sound of our army of rock tumblers back in action after a long vacation. Because living your best life is also an act of protest. #rockhound #agates #rocks #rocktumbler #nokings #portland

No-peace deal: Trump’s Gaza plan may secure a hostage exchange, but it is unlikely to stop the war Israel and Hamas have agreed to Trump’s plan for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, but each side interprets the American president’s proposals in its own way.

Per NYT, Trump is trying to criminalize being generous, which I can understand if you're Trump but may not work out. Under rules, Tish James could do short term rental in first year. She did (and made <$5K). Then her great niece has lived there, rent free. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Hey MAGA anti-vaxxers, Trump got a COVID booster shot.

The real winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize? Florida governor Ron DeSantis.

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

Gov. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma condemned President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops across state lines, the first Republican governor to speak out against the practice.

A federal judge in Illinois on Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops into Illinois, questioning the administration’s “credibility” during a blsitering hearing.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Also linking a couple good pieces on the current antifa discourse. Regarding Trump's EO - @letsgomathias.bsky.social traces history of MAGA manufacturing antifa bogeyman to both distract from very real far right violence, & to create a pretext for vigilantes & police to target the wider left.

Poorly-executed ripoffs of fine watches are so on-brand for the guy who has for years been giving fake "diamond and platinum" cufflinks as gifts to his pals. nypost.com/2016/06/21/t...

Even better is the disclaimer at the bottom of the video: "Watch images are for illustrative purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the final product." So these aren't even the real watches. LOL

Germany’s AfD expels Hamburg lawmaker Robert Risch over participation in far-right congress in St. Petersburg The Sept. 12 congress at the Mariinsky Palace brought together radical nationalists and neo-Nazis from 14 countries, from Hungary to Argentina.

Authorities have arrested a Florida man for intentionally starting the fire that burned Los Angeles's Pacific Palisades. So why does it feel like the fire was started by a cat-eating immigrant from war-ravaged Portland, Oregon?

Republican Tom Homan says he didn't take a $50,000 cash bribe (he did). But Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse says Homan took the cash in a paper bag (it was specifically a Cava bag). Will either party tell the full truth?

Whether it’s Joe Biden attending weekly mass or Donald Trump’s ICE agents shooting a priest in the face with a pepper ball, presidents of both sides have directly engaged with the Catholic faith.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

"We have no king," Illinois says, updating the court on all the authoritarian things Trump has said since Monday. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

So they weren’t peaceful tourists? I’m losing the plot. (Also, that means he pardoned Antifa, in case anyone cares)

You will not defeat fascism if you don't peel off soft supporters. You simply won't do it. At least some of these guys look Latino anyway, and we know Latino voters in TX are moving. But literally, these people will go w/o pay for weeks. That's pretty persuasive.

Texas National Guard troops arriving in Chicago (via ABC News) Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Sen. Peter Welch: Is there a tape and that has audio and video of the transfer of the 50,000 [to Tom Homan]? Pam Bondi: You would have to talk to Director Patel about that. Welch: I'm talking to you. Bondi: I don't know the answer. Welch: You do know the answer. Bondi: Don't call me a liar!

A guy who's been calling for a civil war every other Tuesday, suddenly clutching pearls over John Oliver's comments, is peak irony.
