Person, woman, man, Epstein, files, now.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

Trump is throwing 15 million Americans off health care. He's doubling premiums for 20 million Americans. Now, he's refusing to use a $5 billion emergency SNAP fund to keep 16 million kids from going hungry. But the 1% keep $1 trillion in tax breaks. Oligarchy in action.

The Secret Service has shut down public access to the Ellipse, where reporters were filming the East Wing teardown. CNN had a photojournalist live on scene, and Reuters crews were also ordered to leave the area.

❗️🇷🇸Serbia will not be able to join the 🇪🇺European Union unless it joins European sanctions against 🇷🇺Russia, the European Parliament has ruled. MEPs also pointed to "anti-European and pro-Russian propaganda" in Serbia, perpetrated by "government-controlled media and officials."

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/

Every day, every second, you can feel the war. A Russian “Gerbera” drone crashed right onto a sidewalk in Kharkiv. Russia is a terrorist state!

7 million people attended No Kings protests in 2,700+ cities across the country.

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight. @blockclubchi.bsky.social

Saw multiple people with this sign at No Kings in Chicago today — and only one “we love JB Pritzker” style sign. Purely anecdotal data, but that’s a very different spread than the last couple of anti-ICE/National Guard marches downtown I went to. I just think that’s interesting.

💯Absolutely💯 January 6th 2021: Smeared sh*t on Capitol walls, erected a guillotine for the VP, officers attacked (& some killed) by mob of Trumpers, caused millions in damages...all to attempt to keep their cult leader in power. ⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

Hendersonville NC #nokings turned out proud and strong!

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

Russian Telegram channels report drone attacks on Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery and in the area of a gas processing plant in Orenburg, Russia.

Arrest Putin and finish the war Well said by German foreign ministry

🎯 Ukrainian sniper eliminated two Russian soldiers moving in a dense column. The operation was carried out with a Barrett MRAD sniper rifle from a distance of about 1,150 meters.

Yes, I sent the entire platoon to an area heavily controlled by the enemy, causing catastrophic Loss of Life. Here's how I made this mistake: bsky.app/profile/look...

he is clearly asking the wrong questions too

You're absolutely right — starting a land war in Asia wasn't just a bad call, it's 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀. Thank you for calling me out on that — really. I'll be extra-strategic from now on. Would you like me to get cracking on those 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿?

Bless South Park for smiting Peter Thiel this week and also for showing Trump needing tweezers to pleasure his micro-phallus

What do you think made America great? I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country. And I also know who truly hates America: • The KKK • 3 Percenters • Proud Boys 1/2

DC — racial profiling, violating rights, insane waste of resources.. this video really has it all. Where are the “gOVerNmeNt wAstE” small government folks? Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DPz0rll...

“To watch a glacier collapse is to feel the full weight of climate change.” Former Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s new piece for Meidas+ is a breathtaking, and heartbreaking, firsthand look at Alaska’s vanishing world.

Only Democrats are required to follow the law. Trump releases "George Santos, the disgraced Republican congressman, had been sentenced to seven years in prison after his web of deceit unraveled. He served less than three months." #RIP #RuleofLaw. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

Good to see HHS tackling the critical issues like whether cirrus clouds are secretly Democrats. In a nation struggling with real toxins, it’s nice to see its attention diverted to the fictional ones drifting somewhere between science fiction and weather patterns. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

At the Chicago area ICE detention center in Broadview this morning. These aren't detention vans—they're vehicles full of Illinois State Police. Local cops are staging for a morning of protest. Supposedly, demonstrators will be banned from 25th St today. Fence on Beach came down a few days ago.

He first threatened sanctions on Jan 19 if Russia didn’t cease fire. He has threatened to impose them many times since then. It is now Oct 17. He has done nothing.

We’re back at the Broadview Processing Center protesting ICE this morning. The good news? They tore down the unlawful fence we demanded come down. The bad news? We’re still lacking accountability, transparency, and our First Amendment rights. Join us today at 1930 Beach Street. See you soon.

I've been expecting tactical nukes since they used the term "full force". Now they are launching missiles at California.

💥👌 Vladimirskaya substation was attacked. The Vladimirskaya substation is a major power hub on the 750 kV grid, providing interconnection between the power systems of Russia's central region.

⚡️Explosions reported in occupied Donetsk, Russia's Sochi amid drone attacks. Explosions have been reported in occupied Donetsk and the Russian city of Sochi amid alleged drone attacks overnight on Oct. 17.

New: hackers just doxed hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ officials. I went through the data. In many cases does look legitimate, sometimes includes residential addresses. “Mexican Cartels hmu [hit me up] we dropping all the doxes wheres my 1m [1 million].” www.404media.co/hackers-dox-...

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed. Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Power outage reported in Crimea, likely due to Ukrainian drone attacks on the power infrastructure.

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc

This sounds familiar.

Here is a hilarious video of protesters dancing in blow up costumes in front of ICE. It has Benny Hill music with Robby Rodsteamer in the background. He is saying," we get this instead of healthcare? We get this instead of school lunches?' It's what the billionaires want

❗️Estimated losses of the 🇷🇺Russian Armed Forces as of October 17, 2025

Ben Gvir Threatened to GAS Australians Abducted from the Global Sumud Flotilla This is WILD

Burnnnn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🛢️A Ukrainian strike hit the Kstovo oil refinery today, damaging the L24/300 unit. It’s Russia’s 4th largest refinery, processing 17 million tons of oil annually.

Imagine lying as easily as @RepTimBurchett does. Nobody is paying the millions of people who will be out there. Wanting better for your country isn’t hating it, Tim. Quite the opposite. It’s real patriotism. 🇺🇸 Throwing out the constitution to cling to power is the real hating your country.

The founders assumed a guy like Trump would come along. They never assumed a congress would so willingly give up their power This arch thing is bat shit loonery
