american reporters, you've got to call bullshit on this. vance, purveyor of hate/propaganda, wants the public to believe rules on, for instance, transparency in advertising and forms of deception on X are censorship. don't fall for it.

Geopolitical deals are being made by the networks on back channels without congressional oversight. The government is treated like a network asset and the people, pawns. It is vampire capitalism at massive scale.

Time to ask: In whose interests is American foreign policy being conducted?

A few experts going right now: "hear me out, Budapest Memorandum, keeping Ukraine out of NATO, telling it to accept loss of Crimea, and pretending the Minsk Accords meant to save Ukraine's sovereignty were all mistakes, but if we now combine all this idiocy into a 28-point plan, it might work!"

I can't believe people aren't talking about the fact that Trump is using $40b of US taxpayer's money to bail out a billionaire friend of Scott Bessant - Robert Citrone - who had Argentinian investments. That's the ONLY reason for the bailout - as usual the mainstream media is COMPLETELY ignoring it.

Yesterday, Stephen Miller questioned details re 170+ Americans detained by immigration agents. “Abject lies,” he wrote. Here’s the thing: We tracked, catalogued, and compiled every one of those 170+ cases. Because...we do our homework. propub.li/4o2eeiL

Die Neue Reichskanzlei ("New Reich Chancellery"), Berlin, c. 1939: (1) reception hall; (2) main dining hall; (3) entrance to the office of the Führer, with SS guards; (4) office of the Führer.

😬 JUST AN OLD IDEA❓ The new "Technate of America" was to include all of Canada, Greenland, Central America, the Caribbean, and parts of Columbia, Venezuela and the Guyanas. digital.library.cornell.edu/catalog/ss:3...

Former FTC Commissioner @bedoyausa.bsky.social's new piece in @newrepublic.com gives a glimpse of what’s at stake for Americans if SCOTUS allows the president the authority to fire FTC officers without cause.

Northwest Chicago Suburb: ICE Agents Rip 15-Year-Old Girl from Car, Slam Her to Ground She Screams “I’m 15!” as Man Kneels on Her Neck

📣 Free Debbie Brockman‼️

“Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.” The Republican chair of the National Governors Association breaks with Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/u...

The Mayor of Chicago called attention to an incident in which ICE agents supposedly tear gassed City of Chicago Police Officers who were trying to create separation between protestors and ICE agents reportedly shooting protestors with pepper ball guns. Now ICE is even attacking cops...

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Less than a year into the Trump admin and the National Governors Association, founded over 115 years ago, is on the brink of collapse.

NEW: The militarization of American cities isn’t happening with a parade of tanks. It’s a slow drip of troop deployments that are probing courts’ willingness to give unlimited deference to the commander in chief — and testing workarounds when they don’t. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Admit it—you worry this will happen to you. Me too.

Five-alarm fire inside the DOJ - Lawyer Oyer

This is the home of Diane Goodstein, a federal judge who ruled against Trump last month. Members of her family were still inside, but survived by jumping out windows. Just yesterday Stephen Miller claimed left wing judges were terrorists & state power was needed to stop them.

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

Russians occupied her city when she was five. Now, they are turning her into a soldier. Oleksandra Deminova from Russian-occupied Makiivka, Donetsk region, ended up in Russian Vladivostok, where she is being made a "cadet" in the militarized program of the "Warrior Center".

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Pete Buttigieg was 100% correct here: "Americans will have more rights and freedoms under a Harris-Walz Administration."

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

Make no mistake. The MAGA movement supports: 1) Cancel culture -- silencing popular voices that are critical of their political views. 2) Repressing freedom of speech 3) Censoring American media through intimidation 4) State control of American corporations and other businesses

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Nawrocki talks tough while also spreading Russian propaganda and serving as an agent of Putin's campaign to sew disunity within the EU and NATO. Even if Nawrocki himself hasn't directly agreed to work for Putin, the effect of his anti-Ukraine + anti-EU political messaging helps Putin and Russia.

Donald Trump is pooping his pants publicly confronted by protestors at dinner

Bill Gates is actively profiting from ICE detention flights. Gates is 30% owner of Signature Aviation an FBO that provides ground support services such as refueling for DHS contract flights. This is in contrast to the Gates Foundation humanitarian work worldwide. Gates should be ashamed #ProudBlue

The United States imports oil products from India's Reliance Industries refinery, which sources nearly half its oil from Russia.

“We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent,” Justice Sotomayor wrote. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Today, Donald Trump posted a meme on X cheering USA military helicopters flying over a burning City of Chicago.

5/ Also in the files: something I reported earlier this month, about a missing $1.1M ring that belonged to the wife of billionaire Robert Smith, who rented one of Trump's homes as his federal tax investigation heated up. More on that below. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

Yes, the stakes here are large. Very large.

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

New Executive Order (Aug. 25, 2025) - despite its name - reaches far beyond DC in potential use of the U.S. military inside and across the United States. Link: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... Highlight of some key provisions⬇️

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

BREAKING: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore just announced he refuses to authorize National Guard deployment in Maryland. 🧵
