No more wars for oil.

ICE detain wife of active-duty sailor in U.S. Navy—he says it's "like a punch to the face." Husband told nervous bride "everything would be fine"—because Trump said he'd go after the real criminals. "Law allows immigrants to adjust their status when they marry U.S. citizen," said family's attorney

Things online are often not as they appear.

Larry and David Ellison just gobbling up all of US media. First, Paramount/CBS, then TikTok, and now Warner Bros/Discovery. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump is a global issue, because the economy, the environment and peace are global issues. We Canadians cannot afford to ignore what our friends below the 49th are going through.

Top JPMC execs were in constant contact with Epstein and were aware of his shady financials. Top staff at JPMC, reporting directly to CEO Jamie Dimon, closely supervised Epstein’s accounts. One even coached Epstein on how to sanitize his suspiciously large cash withdrawals.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office. He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people. Release the transcript.

Just want to say that I agree with Tulsi Gabbard on this one. Release the MBS call transcripts.

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:

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.

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."

By sending us $2,000 to give to billionaire insurance CEOs, and by tripling the interest we pay to mortgage companies while he continues to limit what we can write off, he's effectively looting the treasury and using us a mules to launder the stolen money; funneling it to the wealthy.

People like this guy are the ones in charge of the Republican party. There are some more reasonable ones in the grassroots, but they have no power. All policy is being driven by people like Joel Webbon.

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇

Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back. That is why I wrote this and why I hope you read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

If everyone is feeling slightly more hopeful can I interest you in a 9,000 word screed on how American evangelical purity culture materials are made by and for serial child predators?

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

"But Her Emails" he cried softly

IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.

Ontario just ran the Ronald Reagan commercial again during tonight’s World Series. Thank you, Canada, for standing up to an insane bully. Will you please adopt some of us? Also, #TrumpIsAPedophile.

Break the law, face the consequences. That goes for ICE agents who commit illegal acts outside of their official functions.

So many lies

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

ICYMI: North Carolina lawmakers voted 66-48 to enact a new congressional map that would dismantle a historically Black congressional district, and make it “almost impossible” for voters in the area to elect a Black representative again. https://bit.ly/4nj4e3p

Three documentary filmmakers show how Climate Change became politicized during the George H.W. Bush administration and how we're suffering still, to this day because it happened. open.substack.com/pub/brianjka...

Pay attention -- what he means is allowing Democrats to win a free and fair election.

Mike Johnson sputtering that it's no big deal that he hasn't sworn in Grivalja yet, it's such a small stupid thing, why are you people still asking about it, I can do it anytime, but no, I'm not going to do it now, or later, or anytime soon, there's no big deal here, shut up, stop asking about it

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

The search on Mar-a-Lago happened in August 2022. Jack Smith was appointed Special Counsel in November 2022. Time, how does it work

They make up lies about paid agitators doing violence, and attach them to the name of a prominent Jewish person. This is antisemitism, and it infects every part of the GOP.

Maybe it's because I'm a parent, but avoidable harm to kids really gets to me. My kids can be difficult when they don't get an afternoon snack at the usual time. I'm sure various parents and teachers can say the same. Watching a kid starve to death? And the US govt did it on purpose? Unconscionable.

“While millions of Americans are worrying about how to pay for healthcare, this report makes clear that Republican lawmakers are using their power to line their own pockets." - Kristen Crowell

REI is closing unionized stores. So many companies that like to pretend to be progressive remain still virulently anti-union at their core. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/08/b...

This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to “take away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it “aggravates and irritates.” The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Exclusive: Meta has appropriated the names and likenesses of celebrities — including Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez — to create dozens of flirty social-media chatbots without their permission, Reuters has found reut.rs/3JWb00R

Permission isn’t even a thing with tech bros anymore. Certainly not when it comes to women.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Has Trump said anything about his former “spiritual leader”, Robert Morris, who was just sentenced to 6 months in prison for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl? Will the media even bother to ask him?

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
