The basic Trump Facts Clearly Stated

I stand with Mark Kelly.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files. So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

A lot of disinformation is circulating about what Senators/Representatives Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander, and Houlahan actually said. Here is the transcript. It contains no accusation that the President issued unlawful orders, no call to disobey lawful orders, and no advocacy of mutiny.

Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

A snap poll shows that David Rothkopf speaks for 80% of all Democrats, including me. This humiliating about-face was clearly not just an action taken by eight isolated Senators. One of those Senators, Durbin, is the number two member of the party in that chamber of our legislature.

This capitulation will only embolden Trump to target other universities and institutions. This helps no one and only feeds the beast. We must continue to stand with those who resist Trump’s lawlessness and call out those who don’t. Shame on Cornell.

An immigration enforcement officer who shot a US citizen in Chicago last month bragged about the incident in texts afterwards, according to court documents filed in federal court.

The shattering of faith in America’s goodness is the hardest part to watch.

Spanberger’s GOP foe spent 57% of her ad budget on anti-trans attacks. Spanberger focused on the economy. You see what won. Polling shows that Americans are exhausted by the hysteria about trans women in high school sports—all eight of them from coast to coast—being the only issue.

Hail to Sandwich Man! His prosecution was a disaster for Trump's Department of Justice from the highly publicized and ridiculous arrest, failed grand jury indictment. And then proceeding with obviously false testimony in a misdemeanor trial. And losing. What is wrong with these people's brains?

Trump’s ingenious plan to make things more affordable for us is to slap tariffs on a large percentage of things we buy each month, while deporting a big chunk of the labor pool that produces our food supply. We really don’t appreciate this man enough.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

In September, the administration gave Congress notice of the first strikes on boats in the Caribbean “consistent with the War Powers Resolution.” Now, after 60 days, it says the Resolution does not apply, claiming that these strikes do not constitute hostilities.

Kristi Noem claims that ICE has not detained or arrested any US citizens. We're calling BS.

Bezos removed books from Amazon on Ghislane Maxwell's trial and Kevin Spacey's trial. Inner City Press is a nonprofit in NYC. They do fantastic work. Fuck Bezos. @innercitypress.bsky.social

An embarrassingly obvious point, but... This. Is. Illegal. If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed. In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists. www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/b...

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

Epstein Ballroom. That's what it is.

Every. Day.

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

Huge "No Kings" turnout in Santa Fe. Thousands of good-natured enjoying the creative signs and costumes.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

We are an independent, nonprofit newsroom with more than 150 dedicated journalists. For those who want to read the facts of our reporting — and the documents on which it is based — here’s the full story:

Home of the Brave launched a $1 million national ad campaign in support of the peaceful No Kings rallies on Oct. 18th. The ads will run in over 185 local papers and The New York Times, USA Today and The Washington Post calling on Americans to “peacefully protest our false king."

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

ICEBlock app is interesting Crowdsourced app allows reporting ICE activity in your neighborhood. “It’s disgusting,” Homan said “I can’t believe we live in a world where the men and women in law enforcement are the bad guys. It’s already a dangerous job.” Homan the bad guy.

He's losing court cases. He's losing his trade war. His cabinet is a disaster. Voters are turning out against his people and ideals. He's unpopular. He looks weaker everyday. The only thing he has is executive orders and firing his own people. It's early, keep fighting, we're going to win this. 💙

A grotesque Elon Musk The world’s richest man with $20 billion in government contracts taking billions intended to feed some of the world’s poorest families and children by shutting down USAID. Anywhere but here it would be a satire.
