We had endless articles and TV clips about Biden's mental capacity but silence about Trump's obvious unfitness when he says he's going to start a war with Denmark over Greenland because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was intentionally trying to destroy the United States, how could you tell the difference?

Minneapolis.

$1.5T for the military budget $170B for ICE and Border Patrol $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $470M to send National Guard into cities $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $100M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

Horrifying.

The simplest, easiest, most patriotic action of voting can change everything. We can show up in massive and irrefutable numbers to restore America.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Close analysis of video footage shows Renee Nicole Good attempting to drive away from ICE agents before one of them shoots her. But that doesn’t fit Trump, Kristi Noem, and JD Vance’s narrative.

The unabashed lunacy of this idea is consistent with the character of the mouthpiece speaking

We cannot say enough: This is insane. Just insanity start to finish.

James Talarico has a really good answer on Venezuela: "I will never vote to send someone’s son or daughter to war to make oil executives richer."

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

"Trump thrives on the ineffectiveness of his opponents. The operation in Venezuela is a warning that Trump’s imperial ambitions are growing. An ineffective anti-Trump movement is an indulgence American democracy cannot afford or accept." - @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Fact. Repeat testing done for my father’s progressive dementia (diagnosed by CT scan) as well as for my friend attempting to recover from a brain injury.

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

The largest generation in U.S. history is in their 70s now. And Stephen Miller’s podcaster wife thinks it’s suspicious that there’s a huge surge in home health aides.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

There’s a reason the political right wants to keep people dumb.

If Donald Trump is OK with Pam Bondi making him look *this* guilty, the Epstein Files must have lots of outrageously damning evidence about him.

The time to demand Bondi’s resignation or impeachment is NOW. Press them hard, put them on the defensive, and make this a key issue in the midterms. It highlights everything wrong with the GOP — cult like loyalty to Trump, complete lawlessness, elite entitlement, etc.

Christopher Anderson, who photographed Trump's team for Vanity Fair, says that, at the end of the shoot, Stephen Miller said to him, "'You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.' And I looked at him and I said, 'You know, you do, too.'"

David Ellison reportedly told Trump he’d make “sweeping changes” to CNN if Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. gets approved. Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy. Corruption on display.

The DOJ has confirmed that President Trump blocked the release of more than 4,100 documents requested as part of a lawsuit brought by injured January 6 police officers. With this action, the president is directly blocking a case alleging that he helped to fuel the deadly riot. trib.al/o6IVFjF

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

Rep. Don Bacon: "We saw that WSJ article yesterday that many people around the president are hoping to make billions of dollars—these are all billionaires in their own right—from an agreement from Russia, if they get a favorable agreement with Ukraine. That alarms me tremendously."

Why has there been no accountability for another of Epstein’s pen pals—Steve Bannon? @monacharen.bsky.social's latest.

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

This thread, especially last point. Best breakdown I’ve seen.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Fact-check: true 😕

Epstein offered the NY Times photos of Trump with young girls in bikinis during his first campaign in 2015. The NY Times declined them because they were just too busy hyperventilating over Hillary’s private email server. Support independent media.

Let them eat ballroom

This from the right who accuse the left of wanting to blur/erase societal moral/legal lines.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

…The universe will collapse from sheer whiplash.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

“Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be ‘no more prayer’ in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

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...

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents? MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

You can feel the bloodlust in every cinematic scene. The full-metal gear. The racing cars. The roar of the Black Hawks. The drawn guns aimed at their targets. Doors blasted open. The residents zip-tied and put into vans. The performative humiliation. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...
