"Where-ever law ends, tyranny begins." - John Locke

So they do want DEI, but only for white kids.

This is the biggest corruption scandal in American history. The Trump crime family is trying to sell the future natural gas rights of Alaska to the Russians in exchange for $25 billion in cash for themselves today.

Can you imagine how the 2016 election would have gone if he talked like this then? I mean, it was bad before, but he was fairly coherent.

It’s 1897 in Ann Arbor today.

Lock him up!

Remember when Pete Hegseth's mom wrote him a letter telling him he was a misogynistic POS?

This guy was caught on video committing one of the worst road rage incidents I've ever seen, plowing into a group of riders—and then he left the scene. Seriously, fuck the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for framing him as some sort of a victim. You are complicit assholes. www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

“The borrowing let Ellison keep his stock and avoid locking in taxable gains, and highlighted how billionaires often employ a strategy called ‘buy, borrow and die’ to retain their wealth without selling assets.”

I spent last night writing about Trump's waterfront land grab in DC. Things are crazier than I thought, and MAGA has the National Park Service seriously gaslighting the public over it. 🧵

The press is covering the golf course theft at East Potomac National Park, but missing that most people are using the park for running, biking, fishing, picnicking, and just hanging out on the waterfront. Trump isn't just stealing our golf course, he's taking a huge, free-to-use waterfront hangout

Evidently Trump’s staff is too stupid to understand the Streisand Effect.

Amy Acton’s mother sided with her stepdad after Acton alleged he raped her when she was 9-12 years old. Vivek Ramaswamy exploited that trauma for political gain. Ghoulish beyond comprehension. I hope she kicks his ass on Election Day. www.dispatch.com/story/news/p...

UPDATE: I found Wedgewood’s Kalshi account. He goes by Andrew and has been insider trading using the fake polls that he was posting. I reported this to Kalshi, hope they do something about it @gelliottmorris.com

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

How about a new law - cops caught lying about a crime get charged and convicted of that crime with the same penalties?

2) Roughly HALF of the money for the ballroom came from companies or executives whose firms have had federal contracts under Trump.

“Don’t hold us responsible for our big fuckup 7 months ago” And “Where are HIS solutions to the problems we created” Is the perfect encapsulation of JD Vance.

The researcher documented that the violent offenders he studied were certain that they were about to be killed simply because someone was standing too close to them. They were not able to stop themselves from using lethal force any more than you could stop wrinkling your nose at a bad smell.

Elon Musk is single-handedly funding the Ken Paxton campaign:

Where the hell did he get that kind of money?

@rob-rogers.bsky.social

Trump had people arrested to cover up his incompetence. An impeachable offense for any other president. For Trump, probably just about the 17th worst thing he did that week.

"one of them took the time to specifically mention ‘how scary’ it would be for them, because people would be able to find out where they lived, when they got on their shift, and what they were doing throughout the day.” futurism.com/future-socie...

People do this because they have never had to face consequences for their actions. Of course she will never take any responsibility, but will instead deflect blame to others.

“Please stop putting my crimes in writing,” I write to my fellow criminal

“President Zelenskyy could’ve solved the war” — Trump (The one person with the power to immediately end the war is Putin, the aggressor)

Nobel peace prize indeed. www.npr.org/2026/10/10/n...

Pretty damning pile of evidence here that GOP Sen. Roger Marshall’s office seems to have been systematically — and illegally, and quite smugly — using taxpayer money to subsidize his campaign www.ms.now/news/roger-m...

So many things wrong with this "deal," but also: it's not a "massive" amount. If we actually receive 1,800,000 tons of diesel from Russia, that's equivalent to: * 3.3 days of US consumption, or * 10 days of US *exports*. It's a drop in the bucket. We send more than that overseas every two weeks.

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

NEW: Records show Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has taken nearly 1,000 trips during his tenure, costing $3.3 million in security. We could only connect 138 of those trips and $553,000 in security costs to state business. with @texastribune.org

republicans used to complain about the violence in gangster rap and now they want to livestream an execution

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

"Today you can do almost anything. Nothing happens."

“At least 26 senators, more than a quarter of the chamber, hold data center-linked investments … Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat from Rhode Island whose data center investments total between $2.1 million and $8.6 million, takes the number one spot.” 👀

What the fuck man did Marshall also push over someone’s grandma to take the last Marble Rye

the more Musk spends on the midterm elections, the more ubiquitous this image needs to be

Also, the flawed Athenian democracy literally fell because a bunch of xenophobic dipshits insisted on unrestrained power for their homeland and had contempt for and felt free to abuse allied states. All while facing the challenge of another, even more authoritarian power.

I fear that any midterm “mandate” angry voters give them will be squandered on dinner party invites instead of building the accountability regime people are desperate for and are putting their bodies and lives on the line to get.

Get her, Troy!

NEW FROM PP The Trump admin keeps denying immigration agents are grabbing Americans, so we tracked it 500+ Americans detained 70+ kids, some cuffed or zip-tied 60+ held after filming 36+ held for day+ w/o access to lawyer ~12 deported (yes, deported) projects.propublica.org/american-cit....

The fact that Republicans won’t impeach this man shows how evil they are.

The January 6 insurrection was the culmination of a multi-month, multi-level scheme to nullify the results of a democratic election. It was engineered and orchestrated by the president of the United States. And in the moment, it failed.
