What has the ECHR ever done for us? Hmmm, Patrick Stewart can take this one. youtu.be/ptfmAY6M6aA

Trumpcare plan finally revealed

The sudden dismantling of USAID has led to more death and disease

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Unprecedented grift & corruption, happening daily right in front of us

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

This is the absolute truth. My in-laws were coal miners in West Virginia. The miners won’t see a cent of that money.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Must watch

Swisher: "Nexstar is trying to do a very large merger with Tegna, and so they will do whatever it takes." Cooper: "That's an important point, because that merger would require the approval of the FCC."

ISM report for August is very alarming. Multiple industries in the Manufacturing sector contracting, imports stalled and transportation sector at a halt. Tariffs are grinding US Mfg to a halt. www.ismworld.org/supply-manag... #Economy #stagflation #tariffs

Lutnick Family Angling To Make Astronomical Sums Off Court Nixing Tariffs talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/lutni...

A soybean farmer LIGHTS UP Rep. Mark Alford for supporting Trump's tariffs which have devastated farmers: "What do you tell farmers who are losing their farms because there's no market for them anymore? What do you say to them?"

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”

Amen!

Good for her. See something, Say something.

FORTUNE MAG: “.. Trump has seized control of private enterprise’s strategic decision-making and investment policies while invading corporate board rooms .. “.. This is far more dangerous to capitalism than a city-run grocery store.” @jeffsonnenfeld.bsky.social fortune.com/2025/08/12/m...

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

These are the things I love about federal agencies.

BREAKING: Senator Alex Padilla is calling for ICE agents to be unmasked. Who agrees?

FACTS:

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

LEFT: The fake picture of the Department of Defense just posted. RIGHT: The reality. So now the military is not just arresting us on street corners illegally but spreading disinformation. And it's only Monday.

Get off Xitter. (I did on Election Day, after 15 years and sizable audience. Have never looked back.)

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

“Trump’s assault on America’s universities and research is reminiscent of China’s Cultural Revolution…A former Red Guard issued an apology in 2013. “That period of time is unbearable to look back upon, but those are days we’ll have to face our whole lives.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

The original sin was failing to send Donald Trump to prison for the rest of his life for mounting a violent coup to overthrow the election of 2020.

No matter what you call it, the Big Ugly Bill, the Big Bad Bill, the Big Billionaire Bill, it all comes out to the same thing: Republicans are stealing from the needy to give to the greedy.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

Found these old grievances online. Sound familiar? He cuts off our trade with all parts of the world: He imposes taxes on us without our consent: He deprives us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury: He transports us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses…

My advice to anyone on Social Security--go to the Social Security website, make sure you are registered, and download copies of all available documents. It's only a matter of time before the system develops glitches because of all the staff layoffs and people start losing benefits.

Trump has six bankruptcies under his belt. America is about to become his seventh.

That’s right. 🇺🇦

This speech by Sen. Angus King of Maine is well worth listening to. I hope at least some of the Republicans listening really heard what he had to say. It’s not too late to stand up for democracy! @hcrichardson.bsky.social Thank you for sharing this in your Substack today. youtu.be/g2ptQFOi9Pg?...

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!

My friend @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social is 100% correct!

Hassan, through tears: "I am the proud mother of a 36 year old with severe cerebral palsy. And a day does not go by when I don't think about what I did I do when I was pregnant with him... So please do not suggest that anybody in this body doesn't want to know what the cause of autism is" Powerful
