The 2020 Georgia election case is going to be dismissed in its entirety, with the prosecutor offering less-than-persuasive reasoning. A miscarriage of justice that weakens our democracy.

The image is by Kriss Salmanis, a Latvian artist who created it in the early days of the full-scale invasion. It hangs as a giant banner on a museum across the street from the Russian embassy in Riga, Latvia.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

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.

Before anyone gets too carried away here.

Paging @jaketapper.bsky.social, PAGING JAKE TAPPER!!!

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

This is absolutely lawless and corrupt, and also traditionally saved to the end of a President’s term.

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling. It’s the People’s House after all. So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.

Criminal MAGA fraudster George Santos being freed from prison by another criminal from his deserved prison sentence doesn’t erase him ruining the lives of multiple people including US military veterans after taking their entire savings and never paying them back nor apologizing.

Wow. New Economist poll finds only 34% of Americans say ICE's use of force has been justified, vs 51% who say it's been excessive. And they oppose agents wearing masks by 52-35. Yep, ICE is becoming a pariah agency, and that's gaining deep penetration in the culture:

Imagine Trump's rage if he ever figures out he's just a demented but useful puppet for people with real agendas.

The reviews are in

Using taxpayer dollars for propaganda has been illegal for nearly 75 years. That hasn't stopped Donald Trump.

An honor to receive the endorsement of of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter. I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

Remember when you tried to tell us “the younger generations don’t think that way.” And “the young people will save us.” There are a lot of great, humane, decent, bright young people out there. But there are also a lot of these young people. And they’re not going anywhere.

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

What the fuck are we doing?

A law was passed a long time ago to place a plaque on the wall to honor the officers who defended the Capitol on J6. The plaque is done and has been ready to hang up for a long time. MAGA Mike refuses to comply with that law, which is a slap in the face to every officer. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Have Trump, JD Vance, Mike Johnson, and the entirety of the GOP and right-wing media own and embrace these vile and bigoted Telegram messages written by Young Republicans. They will because they see apology as "weakness." Tie it around them.

It is alarming that the Trump Admin & rogue ICE agents would abduct a 13-year-old child from Everett, transport him to a facility over 500 miles away & reportedly subject him to harrowing conditions. They must stop violating our constitutional rights. My full statement:

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do. …getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired. …betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator. The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

Yikes.

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18." 👉👉 nokings.org

Man this was a great ad! Ahh what could have been!

idk how many people there are who will throw down for jim comey, but there's a helluva lot of people who will throw down for tish james

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

Premium increases notices will soon arrive in the mailboxes of Americans all over the US. The average increase? 114%. For some, the numbers are even higher: A couple making $129,000 with two adult children at home in Savannah, GA, will pay $3,150 more per month for insurance.

Israeli attacked a residential building in Gaza City and, according to Al Jazeera, killed and injured more than 70 civilians with most of them still under the rubble.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This is capitulation. It is not the "Department of War." If CNN concedes on this point, they'll concede on any point.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

I know this sounds extreme. It is. I know I sound overly alarmist. I don't think I am. Trump is enacting a well thought out plan so he and his allies can rule forever. But it's not too late to stop them. We can peacefully and forcefully mobilize now. We have the power.

You cannot be fucking serious

AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

You might be a bad human when Dr. Jane Goodall calls you out from the grave.

Where are the commanding officers of those sailors in the background. How are they letting this happen?

Please watch this. It is so very beautiful…. So grateful for this angel that walked out earth for a brief moment …

"Not a single Democrat has talked about wanting to fund care for people in the United States unlawfully. Instead, what Democrats have said is they want to undo Medicaid cuts projected to leave nearly 10 million Americans uninsured." A smidge different.

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

"I believe that Americans would agree that the government can’t just make people disappear without any process or explanation. Second, because I want to give the government a chance to admit that they were wrong. So far the government has not done so." newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-a-us-ci...

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.
