James Comey, Letitia James & John Bolton: Not All Vindictive Prosecution Defenses Are Created Equal youtu.be/vHvjIfz9sDI?...

Let’s be honest: there have already been several bizarre moments from Trump this morning alone that would justify invoking the 25th Amendment. He is a seriously unwell individual.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

TEXAS senate candidate Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social (grandson of a Baptist preacher): “I put my hand on a Bible and swore an oath to the constitution, not the other way around.”

PRIORITIES: “Your taxes are coming down! See? Everyone’s happy, honey.” 💰 Instead of stopping health care premiums from skyrocketing for millions while millions more lose coverage, Trump rides around his golf course glazing himself for lowering taxes for his billionaire pals

Add to this the Court’s usurpation of trial judges’ fact-finding function, often getting facts way wrong, in ways that get the Court to desired outcomes. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

THESE are the promises I want to hear.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it. Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.

Federal judges are protecting We The People from a tyrannical president:

Speaker Johnson: "People’s faith in the government is at an all time low" Republicans control all 3 branches of the government.

Remind me, who was the president who sat on his fat ass in the White House cheering this on during J6?

Emanuel: China's basically found leverage; they're applying pressure, and they're doing it to soybean farmers. Our farmers have lost that market, are out a huge amount of money, and could see a lot of bankruptcies in the rural parts of the Midwest.

🤡

“America First.”

Chicago not letting Portland have all the fun 🐧

True bravery!

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week. Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown. The cruelty is endless.

🚨 HEY NYC — This clip alone is completely disqualifying. Absolutely humiliating stuff from @andrewcuomo, refusing to condemn Trump for going after NY AG Tish James. A vote for him is very clearly a vote for Trump.

NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

Once they understand that it is an unelected bureaucrat carrying out a coup, who knows.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...” apnews.com/article/pope...

FORBES: “The cryptocurrency appears nowhere on the financial disclosure the president files with the government... But make no mistake, Trump is one of the largest bitcoin investors on the planet.” #GoldenAgeOfCorruption www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

While @GovBillLee @JasonMumpower and others boast about the Boring Company’s record, in reality Musk’s Nashville tunnel digging company is accused of a massive amount of violations in Vegas. www.propublica.org/article/elon...

Trump just installed Michael Ellis as CIA general counsel, possibly to green light legally dubious CIA ops to do this as an end run around congress.

Vance: I’m sure that in the course of his life he has been paid more than $50,000 for services. The question is did he do something illegal. Stephanopoulos: I’m asking if Homan accepted the $50,000 Vance: Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services? Low income women can’t get food

It says a lot that Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but won't help the millions of Americans who are in real need at home. So much for “America First.”

Sounds familiar.

“The fact that we are even talking about Trump winning the Nobel Peace Prize feels indicative of mass psychosis. The cowardly reprobate spent most of his adult life sexually assaulting women and girls and breaking the laws of business, morality and democracy.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...

MEMPHIS — Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social rallies after just announcing his run for Congress: “We need new energy to meet this moment… a moment unlike anything we have ever seen before.”

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

FOX: “They do control both chambers, but they do need senate votes from Dems.” @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social : “Which is why there should be bipartisan negotiation. Republicans seem to believe health care is an extraneous issue. We don’t… insurance costs for a family making $85K will TRIPLE.”

I hope that somebody is figuring out a way to prevent Trump from immediately taking a picture with the released Israeli hostages smiling and giving his thumbs up. He is traveling to the Middle East for this purpose, make no mistake about the optics.

GS: “Do you agree with Trump @govpritzker.illinois.gov has committed a crime?” @JDVance: “He violated his oath of office.” GS: “That’s not what I asked.” Vance shamelessly sanewashes Trump’s call for Pritzker to be jailed. TN has a 👋🏽 higher murder rate… should @GovBillLee be jailed?😬

PSA: Trump was president on 1/6 (Can’t wait to read @jaketapper’s book about this)

Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country. I will be there on October 18th, and I hope you will be too. #NoKings snyder.substack.com/p/no-kings-f...

Vance flies to Indiana to press for gerrymandering instead of trying to head off Affordable Care hits to 86,000 Indianans.

Help me out here. When did Biden take office? Who was the FBI director on January 6th? Who appointed that FBI director?

TN-07: Matt Van Epps vs. Aftyn Behn — GOP Van Epps: Copy-and-paste culture war agenda, Supports Trump’s farm-killing tariffs DEM Behn: Feed kids, fix roads & fund hospitals to lower costs for families Election Day is Dec. 2 #TN07 www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

Please join me in a new campaign to help protect Ukrainians in a very special way. My Ukrainian friends chose to call this campaign Freedom is Action. They are making an important point.

Biden wasn’t president yet. These folks aren’t too bright

‼️ CHATTANOOGA - Public school kids outperform voucher kids AGAIN As @GovBillLee steers more and more taxpayer funds away from public schools to private (mostly Christian) schools for wealthy families who are already there. More: www.timesfreepress.com/news/2025/oc...

Here’s @RepTimBurchett admitting Republicans have never had a health care crisis plan — they have only sabotaged it and found ways to make insurance more expensive and keep millions without coverage (especially here in Tennessee where they refused to expand Medicaid)

Save this graph for the next time @MarshaBlackburn @SpeakerJohnson @JDVance try to hold $50 Billion for rural hospitals out as a of win for the 🇺🇸 people We’re bad at math but $1.1 TRILLION in cuts (for tax cuts for the rich) > $50 BILLION They think we are all morons
