"Frivolity and absurdity are kryptonite to authoritarians..." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/o...

That’s not how I expected the second half of this headline to go. “Part of White House Reduced to Rubble” should be followed by “What the Fuck.”

No Kings organizers just announced they are planning a THIRD round of historic marches after Trump melted down over last weekend’s protests.

"Young 'conservatives' have no conception of conservatism outside of the MAGA movement... They are utterly untethered to reasonable discourse...in a perpetual, hateful adolescence." - Peter Rothpletz, with his first 'First Draft' newsletter for Zeteo:

If the Trump WH could just be honest with us for once & tell the truth about these “peace talks/deals” we could handle it. Tell us it’s going to be difficult with lots of things unresolved & pitfalls to navigate. Instead, because of Trump’s craving for praise, we get propaganda.

Watch the first episode of 'Beyond Israelism' with guest Hannah Einbinder: zeteo.com/p/beyond-isr...

'Beyond Israelism' is Zeteo’s new podcast hosted by @ifnotnowmovement.org co-founder @simonerzim.bsky.social. What is 'Israelism'? As Simone says, "Israelism: This fusion of Judaism and Zionism is a danger to Jewish people around the world and a desecration of our beautiful tradition."

Donald Trump is not paying for the huge construction projects at the WH out of his pocket like MAGA claims. He started out with that lie, but then admitted more than once, on video, that he’s been shaking down CEOs & rich people who want something from the government. As usual.

They love him even when he abuses them. Why is he doing it? Because his billionaire friends don’t want to lose their investments. Please don’t ask taxpayers to bail you out. As you like to remind us, this is what you voted for.

Now they will lower the standards. Watch.

I guess they don’t think the images of Trump tearing apart the WH and grounds are helpful to them.

Trump and Bessent are going to cost us billions, continuing to pour our money into the bottomless pit of Argentina’s economic woes. I guess we don’t need the money in the US.

Wanna get my support for the addition to the White House? Call it the “ball-less room” and dedicate it to the house GOP and I’m in

HahahahjahajahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahajjajahahahhahahahahahahahahHhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahajahaj etc Also Epstein

Mike Johnson promised transparency on the Epstein files but is preventing @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social critical vote. Now why might that be? Watch the LP Podcast here: https://youtu.be/2eIMKnD9nPI

These criminals that Trump pardoned keep getting arrested. Pretty much every week there is a new one.

The President of the Nebraska Farm Bureau isn’t happy about Trump’s plan to import beef from Argentina.

Watch their full discussion on the latest episode of Ask the Editor: zeteo.com/p/complete-b...

“It's a classic ratio of concern here in the West. 50 Palestinians to 1 Israeli soldier...it's complete bullsh*t as usual.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and @premthakker.bsky.social discuss Israel’s violation of the ceasefire since day one and the erasure of Palestinian deaths from the discourse.

"Wake up, babe! Another young Republican operative just had his insanely racist text messages leaked." @eggerdc.bsky.social on Trump's 30 year old nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel with a "Nazi streak" in Morning Shots, only @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-golden...

I wonder how much revenue was lost yesterday due to the AWS outage, and how much money Bezos made anyhow. Feels like maybe AWS is too big.

"🐢 Teenage Mutant Nazi Turtles": Read the second edition of our new morning newsletter! @petertwinklage.bsky.social on the GOP's latest racist group chat scandal, Trump demolishing the White House, Fox comparing Portland to Gaza, and the latest in Sudan. zeteo.com/p/first-draf...

Trump is responsible for the soybean and beef farmer chaos we are watching unfold right now. Now, he wants to buy beef from Argentina, hanging our farmers out to dry. Until the GOP breaks from him on his mission of economic arson, they're #ArgentinaFirst

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

Did Muslim Voters Swing the 2024 Election for Trump? The only comprehensive poll of Muslim-American voters since November 2024 shows these voters are more divided – and more complex – than most post-election narratives suggest. Read now: zeteo.com/p/did-muslim...

So yesterday House leadership brought in Chip Roy as their guest speaker and today their pick was James Comer to be the face of Republican messaging on the shutdown? The master strategist Mike Johnson strikes again by highlighting buffoonery.

Trump has a message for American farmers: fuck off #ArgentinaFirst

I like to drop 80s pop culture references in my shows. This week, it’s the Princess Bride. www.youtube.com/live/Ams4OLn...

What if every day Putin keeps the war in Ukraine going, he pays $2 billion to arm the people fighting him? The money already exists— frozen Russian assets. Let’s turn his stolen billions into Ukraines shield open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Nothing says “America First” like selling out U.S. beef and soybean farmers to buy Argentine beef instead. #ArgentinaFirst

"An upstate New York man pardoned by Trump after taking part in the attack on the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, was charged last week with a new crime: threatening to assassinate Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic leader, at an event in New York City..." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

@krystalball.bsky.social's viral takedowns of corporate Democrats show why she's become one of the most effective progressive voices in independent media. Her "Puerto Rico is part of the U.S., dear" moment even broke through to apolitical audiences across the internet. #ProgressiveSpotlight

Ted finally deleted this lie over 24 hours later. Only the 900th time he has posted a fake right-wing internet lie. You would think a US Senator would take a few minutes to make sure these things are legit, but we are talking about Ted Cruz.

From opposing Putin to raising funds for a neo-Nazi paramilitary group, this is the digital footprint of one Russian man with a shifting political ideology. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/10...

The Epstein files contain the name of a prominent former PM who brutally beat & sexually assaulted an 18 year old. Trump, Bondi, Patel & Johnson don’t want the world to know his name. That’s why Johnson will have the House adjourned today for the 78th day out of the last 90.

I would like to thank Mike Johnson, House Republican leadership, and Karoline Leavitt for all the free publicity this week promoting our rallies tomorrow. Find one near you here. www.nokings.org

“Some of us [Democrats] find ourselves not sleeping at night trying to figure out how to do more & some seem to be in the Bahamas.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social calls out the Democratic Party for it’s low ratings, pressing Rep. @ramirez.house.gov on what they can do better. 🔗 zeteo.com/p/rep-delia-...

At this point, it feels like the White House tweets are being written by a Christian nationalist chatbot. No actual human could be this cringe.
