“I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.” - Will Rogers

Where is the Democrats' Steve Bannon?? www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

But first, let's send a great big Thank You note to John Roberts.

The original reporting from back in September and the information provided by the authorities and the Congressman paint a much different picture of what we are now learning. It’s stunning to read the reporting from then and compare it to new reports.

🚨 Married GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales allegedly had an affair with his senior aide, Regina Aviles — who was found dead after she supposedly doused herself in gasoline and set herself on fire, per The Daily Mail. Uvalde Police are blocking release of the 911 call, video & records. (Daily Mail)

Putin’s Propagandists Laugh at Trump for Following Kremlin Orders Russian state media is openly mocking the U.S. and claiming Trump was following Putin’s secret plot to pull a bait and switch on Zelensky. My latest for @thedailybeast.bsky.social: www.thedailybeast.com/vladimir-put...

A must-read www.politico.com/news/magazin...

In October, Russia chairs the UN Security Council. What an absurd world we live in - a country defined by EU and NATO as the most significant threat heads the Security Council of (supposedly) the most influential organisation

Polish PM Donald Tusk: “No one should pressure Zelensky on territorial concessions. We must all pressure Russia to end its aggression. Appeasement has never been the path to a just and lasting peace.”

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

Q: "Do you think President Putin is playing President Trump?" Zelensky: "[Putin] wants to postpone real negotiation meetings...He's afraid of sanctions, of President Trump's tariff, and secondary sanctions which are very painful for Russian economy."

Diarrhea Don forgot his diapers. Obviously, he needs extralarge. The messeage: Diarrhea Don needs XL diapers. Urgently!

Remember when they hounded Hillary for years over insufficient email security protocols?

Israeli occupation forces continue demolishing Palestinian homes in Gaza despite the ceasefire.

🚨 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.

Petro says the “Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure” when it was bombed by the U.S. military.

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

hellish night for Russia. 🔥 Samara — drone strike on local oil refinery 🔥 Novokuybyshevsk — one of Russia’s largest refineries hit (8.8M tons/year) 🔥 Orenburg — gas processing plant ablaze after a strike 🔥 Bryansk — partisans blew up a comms tower used by occupation forces Beautiful. 🇺🇦

At least 38 Palestinians have been killed as the Israeli army commits 47 violations of ceasefire agreement.

Stunning! So now Trump alone decides who goes to jail and who doesn't. Apparently, he's not only the nation's top cop, he's also its top judge and jury. And top criminal. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I call this Supreme Court the Proud Boys Court.

New in PN: How the Supreme Court taught Trump to rewrite history "If you’re wondering where Trump learned the trick of recasting American history as uniquely belonging to him, look no further than the current Supreme Court’s manipulation of the core legal principle of stare decisis."

Wow! What a surprise!

Pres Zelenskyy has also this morning written of double-tap attacks "There's confirmation the Russians are using double terror - hitting with "Shaheds" with cluster munitions, they're inflicting repeated strikes to injure firefighters + energy workers who are working on restoring damage."

Nobody in the US, least of all Trump and his goons, cares that Ukrainian civilians are being bombed. They only care that Ukraine takes out Russian gas & oil facilities, an advantage for US producers (Trump donors): reduce worldwide glut, raise prices. Ukraine knows this. www.wsj.com/finance/comm...

Trump traveling to Budapest to meet with Putin. What does that tell us?

Trump probably won't give Zelensky Tomahawk. Because he's talked to Putin about it. Of course, nobody knows what was said -apart from the Russians- because Trump's conversations are unmonitored (except by China), but we (and Putin) can be sure that he listened more closely to Putin than to Zelensky

They need to stop asking him if he took it and start asking him if he paid taxes on it.

Senator Mitch McConnell just suffered a fall in Washington.

We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, ...

🇨🇳⚠️ A senior NATO official said about 80% of the critical parts in Russia’s drones and modern weapons are made in China, - United24 ❗️Since 2023, Beijing has supplied over $20 billion in components, tools, and materials.

The media are lying to you again

Remember, brown 13-year-olds are hardened menaces to society, but 30-something Republican Hitler afficionados in positions of power are just li’l guys.

(Axios) "Mills, 77, said she doesn't plan to serve more than one term in the Senate." That is hilarious.

The Mills-Platner matchup is the stupidest fucking thing that Schumer has yet done. It is an absolute lose-lose situation for Democrats. If Mills wins, she alienates Platner supporters who want generational change. Can she beat Collins? If Platner wins, he probably cedes Mills' supporters to Collins

Hitler Redux. You wanna know where the marble is from Hitler's ostentatious Reich Chancellery (= his White House)? Lining the walls of the subway station next to the former Chancellery location and close to the site of Hitler's bunker where his burnt body was found. www.axios.com/2025/10/15/t...

Another 6 murders at sea.

Trump/Trump’s family are just vehicles for his Christian nationalist supporters. Christian Nationalism is the most powerful force in today’s Republican Party, and Trump is just the puppet. Powerful people in the Christian nationalist movement are pulling his strings.

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

Question 1: Where's JD Vance?? Question 2: Is Jared now AIPAC's top choice to succeed Trump?

The people of AZ-07 chose Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva to represent them, and Mike Johnson’s delay in swearing her in is undemocratic and unacceptable. Her constituents deserve their voice in Congress. I stand with #AdelitaGrijalva. #SwearHerIn

Some families in America are on track to pay over $22,000 more per YEAR for their health insurance. Where are their Republican senators?

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.
