Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

Corruption like we have never seen. I don’t understand people who support this nonsense.

WOW: Top Trump adviser Ric Grenell outlined a stunning pay-for-influence offer to a Turkish billionaire last year: access to "POTUS," "VIP events" and administration officials, according to a text message, reviewed by Axios Full story: www.axios.com/2026/10/19/k...

I would like to say I’m surprised by this. Such lowlifes running our government!

Ahead of the 2024 election, @andykroll.bsky.social got his hands on some secret tapes of Trump's budget director, Russell Vought. One thing Vought said hit Kroll like a ton of bricks: that he wanted to put government workers “in trauma.” Listen to this episode: https://propub.li/4yO4q11

ProPublica does the work!!!

Susan Collins claims that our reporting about CEO Martin Kao’s bribery allegations took him at his word. That’s not true. We reviewed a trove of FBI evidence and legal records. Here’s how we independently corroborated much of Kao’s account.

This is why student performance is getting worse, not better, in red states. People who have no business starting schools are starting them to turn a profit.

Looks like Trump’s new “steel plant” in IA, announced to shore up support in midterms from people his policies have crushed, where he said construction has already begun, is nowhere close to happening and contingent on Iowans giving tax breaks & incentives to a company in India.

This dude is evil and dirty. Just one more piece of evidence.

Ken Paxton’s office helped bury records involving hundreds of lab animals, including at least 100 dogs subjected to painful testing. Now, Meidas News has obtained disturbing photos and video of what he fought to keep hidden.

The corruption is next level. Not reporting casualties to help their chances in the midterms.

Corruption is the new normal.

NEW: Months after FCC Commissioner Olivia Trusty cast a decisive vote approving Paramount’s historic $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, she and a guest accepted Kennedy Center gala tickets from the company worth more than $12,000.

Khanna: "The more important point is what the DOJ got was already scrubbed. Donald Trump's FBI in March went and scrubbed these files. The DOJ just told us, 'Ok, we're getting these documents uploaded, but they've already been redacted.' They're protecting powerful people."

Trump’s family is billions of dollars richer than last year. The average American family? They’re worse off. Trump’s top priority has always been himself. If he spent half as much time actually being President as he has profiting off his presidency, the story might be different.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency. She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

Bellingcat@bellingcat.com

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Really spot on. I think people, for a variety of reasons, ignore this stuff. It is really indefensible what this administration is doing.

“The United States government under Trump has made a deliberate, calculated, and shameful decision to embolden and enable Nazi-glorifying elements within his party; to elevate and amplify Nazi messaging” My latest for the Guardian, and I bring receipts:

They lied. Big shocker!

Officer Daniel Hodges narrates his body camera footage from January 6: "That's me screaming because someone…is reaching underneath my visor and trying to gouge out my eye with his thumb while other people hold me down."

Q: "Trump…said the U.S. is going to run Venezuela. Under what legal authority?" Rubio: *doesn't answer* Q: " Let me ask the question again, what is the legal authority for the United States to be running Venezuela?" Rubio: *doesn't answer*

🔥WATCH — @debunktionjunction : “So let me get this straight… @joerogan is staring at a chart where the data ends before Trump is even elected, but is somehow trying to tie the reduction in drug overdose deaths (under BIDEN) to the Venezuelan boat strikes??”

Trump, in trying to hurt China, is actually making them much stronger. Not only is their trade surplus up, but they are becoming more self reliant by manufacturing leading edge semiconductors and other technologies.

China's exports to the U.S. have dropped sharply this year, in the face of President Trump's tariffs — but the country is still finding plenty of customers elsewhere around the world. n.pr/4rGXa3U

One of these years we really should thoroughly investigate Elon's role in the 2024 election. Some weird shit in PA got squelched pretty quickly by the don't-be-ridiculous Serious People crowd.

Fella Historian🌻@thisuserisdumb.bsky.social

That isn't even the craziest thing that Trump posted tonight! Trump also posted: - John Durham's report was found in a burn bag - Nancy Pelosi planned Jan 6th for 2 yrs - President of Venezuela surrendered to Trump - Elon saved the 2024 election from being stolen - President Obama committed treason

This is disgraceful. If President Biden, Obama, or Clinton allowed the United States flag to drag on the ground of the White House lawn, every Republican in Congress would call for his immediate impeachment.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant” He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

And so it begins. They made all of these cuts and now the consequences are happening.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.
