John Lyons: “The presence next to these 2 of leader of one of the Arab nations-Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Egypt-would have given the proposal much-needed credibility in the Arab world. Instead of being a peace deal, in my assessment, this is more of a hostage deal.” johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

True - she’d be the 218 vote to release the Epstein files.

Oh yes, this is clearly now.

What could possibly go wrong!

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

If we still had anything resembling a functioning Constitution, he would be impeached by lunchtime & convicted & removed from office by the close of business today.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Trump-Hegseth address to America’s top Generals & Admirals was insulting & demeaning. Excruciating to watch. I come from a military family. The military respects competence. They know what is right, what America is, what the threats are and are not.- and what they have devoted their lives to.

Absolutely LOVE this‼️ Awesome clapback‼️ 😍🤩👏🙌

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

Why can’t we have nice things, too, instead of more spread of preventable diseases?

Trump is still dangerous, but he’s never been more vulnerable. Rick Wilson illustrates the current political battlefield, and how we win that battle, on MSNBC:

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

How humiliating for the United States military

IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO SEE A FAT COMMANDER IN CHIEF IN THE HALLS OF THE WHITE HOUSE!

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?

"It would be good if all the general and flag officers present could quietly agree ahead of time not to let themselves be used as pawns for political purposes." This is really not too much to ask. In fact, it's a bare minimum for a liberal democracy. www.thebulwark.com/p/remember-t...

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Jason Wozniak: "Contrary to the austerity narrative that has economically and politically served the creditor class, states are not running deficits because of outlandish spending on public goods; rather, they face a revenue problem that is the result of years of lowering taxes on the wealthy. . .

Terrible headline on a good article. It’s the world’s taste for MEAT that’s fuelling Amazon destruction. The soya is cattle feed.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Minister acknowledged decision not to require immediate cuts in acidic pollution meant there was a higher likelihood of rock art being affected “in the short-term”, but any impact “would be small and therefore outweighed by the social or economic factors”.

Reminder that the Senate confirmed this underqualified alcoholic Major to oversee the entire US military. His inability to handle the stresses of the job should surprise no one. www.thedailybeast.com/pentagon-aid...

Russia's interference failed.

Erasing history.

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes. This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

All the key economic data supported another interest rate cut, which would have given them much-needed relief after three years of pain. @grogsgamut.bsky.social describes the decision as “very cruel”, ensuring more pain for those struggling with high mortgage repayments and more job losses. #auspol

It’s almost like Junior is purposely ignoring that they chose to defy congressional subpoenas 🙄🙄🙄

Pritzker: “ICE is running around the Loop harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace.”

At 21, newly elected Senator for South Australia Charlotte Walker is the youngest senator to be elected in Australian history. 'What I bring to this parliament is the experience of young people today.' Watch Charlotte's first speech in full at the link below 👇

MORMON CHURCH SHOOTING

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

A UN body has confirmed that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Now we know Australia is profiting from it, absolutely shameful. Cut ties with Elbit, sanction Israel now. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Yayyyy. I'm so happy for you, @squigglyrick.bsky.social for your grit & heart & writing voice and because you don't write for awards but for justice. And kudos that the Prime Minister's Prize going to a book which chronicled a wicked failure of government.

How the world’s taste for soya is eating Brazil’s Amazon

here’s korean protesters throwing their shoes at a likeness of netanyahu

OK, SOMEONE GET ON THAT, K!

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41. Here’s the President of the United States of America.

Nigel Edge just killed 3 people in Southport, NC. He was a right wing conspiracy follower. We must refute Trump's lies that "the left" is responsible for violence. It is a deliberate deflection.
