Another Bob 🇺🇸🫶🇨🇦🫶🇲🇽🫶🇺🇦

I wish there were a special place in hell for all of the smug, powerful captains of industry who profited from growing up in a free society but now can’t be bothered to defend what their fathers’ and grandfathers’ generations risked their lives to save. It’s such contemptible cowardice and greed.

Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein

Even the idea that Trump might be a man of faith is such an obvious lie. Catholic bishops should know that more than anyone.

It’s peak Trumpism when Republicans blow up a school full of Iranian Muslim girls and then call an American politician a terrorist because he’s Muslim.

An Economist/YouGov poll taken October 19 and 20 found 66% of Americans sympathize more with Ukraine. Just 3% chose Russia. Another 24% chose neither. Trump cannot pretend the public is asking him to go easy on Putin.

GOP does nothing but gin up culture wars. Meanwhile: — GOP slashed SNAP benefits to 5+ million Americans, forcing them to turn to food banks. — Trump's tariffs and war spurred inflation, making it more expensive to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. Prices are now ~13% higher than when he took office.

A major problem with political journalism is the perceived obligation to treat Republicans and Democrats equally, to be "nonpartisan." The NY Times editor in this video thinks this way. But as I explain, Dems vs. GOP is a simplistic focus. It should be decency vs. indecency, democracy vs. fascism.

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

This is such a garbage way to report on anothet ludicrous, outrageous, illegal, actually criminal attempt by DOJ to disenfranchise voters and/or cast doubt on election results. Eight lazy paragraphs full of lies before the truth, attributed to “critics“. You know better, @shawnhubler.bsky.social.

A legitimate president would answer reporters’ questions instead of demanding they identify what outlet they’re from and then hurling insults at them. But a criminal who ran for president to avoid going to prison would act the way Trump acts.

Has the world gone insane, or is it me?

Scott Jennings Snapped After Weeks of the Same Question

like vance, ramaswamy is a hateful, resentful orc of a human being, and the reason i think this will hurt him politically — where this stuff didn’t hurt trump — is that ramaswamy, like vance, is also profoundly unlikeable. he has no charm or charisma or anything. just a dipshit.

we have a pro-democracy, reality-based majority, and a discrete radical minority — mostly white Christian nationalists — that holds views the rest find abhorrent. The latter dominates one major party and holds disproportionate power.... and their views are ethically and politically extreme

Cause our legacy media owned by billionaires and corporations is broken?

The corporate news media spent so much ink over the past 30 years being outraged on behalf of Joe Sixpack that snotty Democratic elites like Hillary Clinton wouldn’t bake him cookies or other equally vapid faux scandals. Then it turned out that all Joe wanted was a billionaire daddy to worship.

Would any Republican in congress condemn the Confederacy: a rebellion that waged war against the US in order to preserve chattel slavery and white rule?

Trump waiving sanctions against Russia is the most predictable thing ever. The silence of some GOP elected officials is likewise the most predictable thing. Throw the trash out in November. This isn’t funny anymore

If a president can direct his subordinates to commit crimes against US for 4 years, then pardon everyone (including himself), then we are going to have presidents keep committing crimes against US.

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

Let me be specific: Donald Trump is an f-ing traitor. He is in cahoots with Putin and Russia to break our democratic ally, Ukraine, which makes all of us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...

“when placed under mild authoritarian pressure, an extraordinary number of powerful Americans, ostensibly honorable and right-thinking, quickly revealed themselves to be cowardly and unprincipled and made of the wrong stuff.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/14/b...

Ukraine just did more to clean up American elections than Congress has done in twenty years.

Absolutely stunning that in the NYT’s latest major story on Elon Musk single-handedly trying to save the GOP there is NOT ONE WORD about how he is the world’s most vocal white supremacist and advocate of ethnic cleansing.

This is a criminal violation of civil rights under color of law, and the people who made it happen must be indicted, prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned. apnews.com/article/ilha...

“Studies have shown fraternity members are three times as likely to commit sexual assault as other male students. Sorority women are 74 percent more likely to be sexually assaulted than other college women.”

I love the WaPo's AI summaries of reader comments on articles. I find they are considerably more incisive than the namby-pamby articles themselves. So I asked Claude to summarize the NYT reader comments for "How Trump Has Alienated Voters for the G.O.P." Bang on. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/u...

He is explicitly calling for pogroms. (I ask again: at what point will our major news organizations finally acknowledge that he is either mentally ill or a vile racist or both?)

Same!! www.contrariannews.org/p/you-can-he...

Nevada Republican politician Michele Fiore, nicknamed “Lady Trump,” collected money for a memorial to 2 fallen police officers but spent it on plastic surgery, rent and her daughter’s wedding. A jury convicted her of fraud. Trump pardoned her because he’s pro-criminal. Vote against all Republicans.

Of course the motherfucker isn't doing this out of generosity to the U.S. He's doing it because he imagines he and his family will hold the presidency in perpetuity and this would be his own private perk, maintained at the taxpayers' expense.

LOL. This guy is toast, thank god. www.mercurynews.com/2026/10/05/c...

Why is 🇺🇸 media not reporting on this 128 day Albanian protest of Kushner and Ivanka’s insane corruption?

We need journalists who don't praise Karoline Leavitt for how good she is at lying.

Joe Biden was too old to be president. Trump is the same age as Biden was when he was president. And it’s obvious that Trump is less mentally healthy than Biden was. So when will the media report that the president’s brain is broken? If the answer is “never,” that means the media are broken too.

"I know you may not know that we have this stuff, but we have film evidence that you pretended to be a woman and joined an all-woman jazz band to hide from the mob." "Senator, that was Jack LEMMON in "Some Like It Hot."

Here's your reminder that border czar Tom Homan, who is terrorizing hard-working immigrants, took $50,000 in an FBI bribery sting. The Trump regime killed the probe, and there’s no indication that Homan paid the money back to the taxpayers – or even paid taxes on the "income."

If a person votes Republican, it doesn't simply mean they disagree with me on the issues. It means they want to murder Iranian schoolgirls, Caribbean boat passengers and American protesters. It means they want my grandkids to grow up in a dictatorship. This isn't politics. It's basic human decency.

Projection, thy name is Trump 😴

Up Schmitt’s Creek without a clue

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Senator Schmitt questioning Jack Smith on why the Biden DOJ thought it was appropriate to investigate Donald Trump’s erection fraud.

In addition to having 16 of the wealthiest billionaires in America pouring money into Republican PACs to buy the midterms, Democrats now have to deal with media companies accepting stolen taxpayer money to run illegal government ads for Republicans.

When legacy media compare Orban's treatment of the press to Trump's, do they realize they're telling on themselves? Big corporate media folded. Independent media stood up there and is standing up here. Support Democracy Docket now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Or political culture has never accurately registered the sheer magnitude of MAGA hypocrisy and bad faith like it needed to. We should all be outraged by what these frauds, criminals, and liars have done to our democracy. www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

I feel optimistic about the midterm elections, just over five weeks away. But my stomach aches when I think of what’s at stake. Call me nauseously optimistic. How do you feel? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-nauseous-optimism

I was hoping for "Phenomenal Intelligence", but OK, I guess.

Trump's DOJ lawyer who's spearheading their legal effort over Trump's media ban is an admirer of Hitler who says that "Mein Kampf" is his favorite book . . . 🤔 youtube.com/shorts/veF5d...

A reminder that Republicans have NEVER grasped the basic concept of how insurance works. youtu.be/tXlXU_WXwMA?...
