Nothing says you were lying about your devotion to your country quite like leaving it at the first opportunity you get.

In George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, 24-hour surveillance is not merely a tool for gathering data; it is the framework used by the Party to enforce absolute psychological subjugation and eliminate individual identity.

Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it.

It feels ignorant you bring an Arab into the Oval Office who killed an American resident, I herald him as bringing business to America, even though he beheads people daily But when an Arab, who grew up in America wants to make a difference, he is vilified for his heritage All by the same person

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Trump: "We didn't start the war with Iran. Iran started the war with us."

JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.

Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government. They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

BASH: What's the crime? AG TODD BLANCHE: What's the crime? Well it depends. There *could* be a crime. But the real wrong here is that Alaskans are gonna be confused. BASH: The Alaskan Supreme Court ruled 4 months ago on this matter

Talarico: This is the last play of the last drive. This is the moment we leave it all on the field. We are the underdogs. It’s David versus Goliath. It’s the powers that be versus the powers that ought to be, and it’s time for us to start flipping over some tables.

Pete Buttigieg is campaigning with Ossoff and indicting Collins and Trump for their corruption

Trump admits that he told the DOJ to sue Alaska over the election

"What's up with the gold? He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a cheesecake factory." Obama with zing from the top rope.

Obama in Michigan: "After 10 years of chaos and cruelty and corruption and incompetence and tomfoolery and nonsense the likes of which this country has not seen in modern times at least, you get to say enough is enough. We're voting for change right here in Michigan."

there is no other current or former politician in the US who gets this sort of response

“How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking in the mirror in the morning? These are not serious people” — Obama’s audience in Ohio is hanging on every word as he skewers Trump and Hegseth

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

Fuk that sheet!

Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

Ossoff: "Mike Collins should explain his votes for the war, tariffs, and healthcare cuts, and he should come out and explain this morning's CNN report. If Mike Collins does not come out today and respond to this CNN reporting, then he is a coward." Here's the report: www.cnn.com/2026/10/23/p...

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Good on Monica Alba for persisting with a thoroughly legitimate question. Trump’s attack on her answered the question: Sexual abuse means nothing to Donald Trump. Zip, zero, zilch.

Now they hate bikes! Can’t roll my eyes hard enough with these fools 🙄

Well this one just had to be drawn....

Protestors have gathered at the Alex Pretti Memorial for tonight's march demanding justice for all victims of police and ICE violence.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Since last Saturday, Meta executives have given vague & shifting answers for why the No Kings Instagram was taken down at the height of the protests.   Today, I'm calling on Meta to come clean.   Is Meta intentionally censoring speech? Americans deserve answers.

Hamilton: "He just said the war in Iran is not the problem, the war in Ukraine is. The Ukrainians trying to defend themselves are why we have record diesel prices? Nobody believes that. This happened in response to the war in Iran. Roger Marshall supported that. I support the Ukrainians ... "
