Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Because when one eccentric billionaire can literally buy a stake in the military, when the Supreme Court has declared that the president can do anything he wants while in office—anything—you should be terrified. This isn’t “America first.” It’s America for sale. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Jackson County TN’s own self-proclaimed “Heritage American” mourning the loss of will of White people to burn “entire cities” and “wipe out” their political enemies. 🤔

Brief exchange last night with a MAGA/former supporter of mine: Him: “Hey Joe, Mamdani is now the face of your new party. So all you Democrats are a bunch of socialists.” Me: “Ok. I’ll play. Trump is the face of your party. So all you Republicans are a bunch of fascists.”

Trump bought the Argentina election by threatening to withhold U.S. funds unless his preferred candidate won. We can’t let the same playbook unfold here next week. Trump and his administration have already been making threats about the upcoming U.S. elections, and the warning signs are clear.

Gallego: "How can I negotiate? The president is in Asia for 5 days. Johnson is basically keeping the House out until January to protect pedophiles. So who am I negotiating with right now?"

We’re giving $40 billion to Argentina. This is $5 billion MORE that the entire USAID budget that DOGE cut.

It’s a strange thing to both be a deep scholar of history and human rights and also a human being who assumes most people have basic compassion, because the scholar in me goes “ah, yes, the same old bullshit we’ve seen 400 times” and the human being goes ”but HOW???”

If an adult finds a dementia test "hard," and considers his ability to answer test questions a kindergartener could ace so impressive he brags about it, I don't think that person should be president. It's a challenging job with many responsibilities. Sorry to get so partisan, but that's how I feel.

“If only these fretful Republicans belonged to some sort of governmental body that had the ability to limit or even stop these troublesome actions. One could image, say, a separate legislative body to check the executive, control spending & vet unfit nominees.” open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Washpost Opinion (not News) has done a stealth edit of its pro-ballroom editorial. The original (left) failed to mention that Amazon (whose founder, Jeff Bezos, owns the Post) is a donor to Trump's project. The new version (right) has it. No clarification or correction appended to the piece.

What’s the real reason that over a month after her election, Adelita Grijalva is STILL waiting to be sworn in? Mike Johnson wants to protect those in the Epstein Files. Full stop.

Photograph and fingerprint all US visitors to Canada..... Better yet DON'T visit the US. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Oh.

This is a defining moment. Arrest him immediately.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

Trump is ripping apart the White House, the Constitution, global alliances, and the American people like a juggernaut.

Stefanik endorsed, campaigned, and fundraised for George Santos.

“.. It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Anyone that cannot acknowledge that this is Gestapo bullshit has given up the right to call themselves patriotic Americans that care about the constitution. YOU. COULD. BE. NEXT. In a government that operates this way, there is nobody that is “safe”.

If we had a functioning Congress, it would be requiring Trump to (1) Provide a complete list of all people/countries/corporations/mafia providing bribes, ur, “donations” for his tacky ballroom; and (2) An audited accounting of where all the money goes.

"As a working class person, it is fundamentally evil to give me food, justice and prosperity," might as well be the slogan of the modern national populist.

I don't know about you, but what I get from Trump's social media posts is that he could easily be replaced by AI slop and literally no one, including his wife and kids, would notice the difference.

Agreed He’s building something that’ll just be summarily demolished when he’s gone, as in this century—unlike prior ones—America mustn’t let sexual-predator insurrectionists build monuments to themselves, especially not when they take a wrecking ball to the People’s House (sans permission) to do it

Sometimes the symbolism feels like it’s just too obvious; too much on the nose. Trump is vandalizing the White House to build his gaudy Liberace-on-steroids ballroom, using cash from his serial shakedowns of the rich and spineless. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

NEW: Cardinal Blase Cupich, the Archbishop of Chicago, has issued a new statement declaring that Chicago "communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The Church stands with migrants."

Yes, you can be disappeared into a gulag in the United States in 2025.

In 1998, David Broder said of Clinton, “He came in here and he trashed the place — and it’s not his place.” Trump is now - demolishing the East Wing - paving the Rose Garden - adding gold throughout the Oval Office - building a ballroom - installing a flagpole - tearing apart the Lincoln bathroom

Yeah, ok. Sure. 😳

Free 100% winning message for any Democratic presidential candidate: “I will undo literally everything that asshole did, as quickly as possible, and prosecute the hell out of his accomplices. And him however and wherever we can. Minute one: we bulldoze the old man’s stupid ballroom.” WINNER.

The NY Times is a very high quality newspaper. Extraordinarily talented and rich in resources. But sometimes the high-level editors and management get on strange political obsessions. Like Hillary Clinton’s emails. Their commitment never to cover prominently any “No Kings” protest is astonishing.

Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland

#MorningVibe There’s a wild joy in protest—voices rising, hearts syncing, truth echoing through the streets. It’s the rhythm of change, the dance of democracy, and the pure power of people refusing to be silent. volume 🆙 🎥 marthaharms (IG)

The instruction for NYC are simple: The deadline to register to vote is October 25th, THIS coming Sat. Do NOT sleep on this. Get everyone you know who lives in NYC and is not a voter registered. Then map out your plan to vote. Build in the possibility of bad weather, traffic or some other

Just a bunch of paid domestic terrorists in Portland, Maine.

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

KARL: What do you make of Trump's pardon of George Santos? JOHNSON: POTUS has the right under the Constitution. We believe in redemption K: But is it ok for Trump to say he's pardoning someone bc they always vote Republican? J: That's one snippet of what he said among many things about Santos

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

Chattanooga, Tennessee just getting warmed up. #NoKings
