Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million. In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million. A massive percentage came from foreigners. It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics. But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

A Nazi Tattoo Exposes Democrats’ Greatest Weakness www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o... @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is unmatched. Read her latest piece—and everything else she writes.

Congress already set aside funds for SNAP so Trump and his GOP lackeys are operating out of absolute cruelty by diverting the subsidies into the pockets of their billionaire friends.

Do not be a doomer about this. Just call your New York friends and remind them to vote, and tell them to do the same. He is more popular and will win with good turnout.

Child tax credits are becoming more popular across the country, with more than a dozen states offering them as financial relief toward the cost of raising kids. But new research suggests cities could reduce child poverty by offering child tax credit programs of their own. From @stateline.org

Do these cases ever result in investigation and discipline? Did this one?

Health care premiums for Coloradans are going to skyrocket—double for many—and the blame is directly at the feet of Lauren Boebert for allowing necessary parts of the Affordable Care Act to expire and doing nothing to find a solution to fill the gaps if they do. www.threads.com/@imkyleclark...

Wouldn’t it be great if we had a functioning Republican Party that had a few people in it who were willing to occasionally stand up and call out the worst abuses of power and corruption of their leader? Instead, the Republican Party operates like an organized crime family.

That's right, Virginia! You see it. We have 7 more days until the People make their voices heard. Make your plan to vote!

When Repubs throw a lot of money at something, you know they're up to no good. They're trying to skew the election for Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justices so they can put far-right judges on the bench. Don't let them. Vote YES! to Retain Justices * Kevin Dougherty * Christine Donohue * David Wecht

🔴 The latest UN report exposes Russia’s systematic use of drones and deportations drive civilians from their homes across Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions. These are war crimes and crimes against humanity, part of a state policy of depopulation. My comment ⬇️

WTF

Perhaps the head of CNN was told that if they reported on this, the Warner merge wouldn't go through.
