And a malignant narcissist is a narcissist who ends up trying to destroy everything he hasn’t contributed to and isn’t entitled to.

ICE agent shot a man in the torso during a traffic stop in North Austin today. He's in serious but stable condition. Austin PD wasn't involved; the mayor wants local police on the investigation for third-party eyes.
ICE has been out of control since they started this B.S.
Five corporations control 90% of the US media.
Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
Wow! Trump slaps tariffs on damn near everything, then gives imported beef a tariff-free boost.
I can’t imagine even farmers who voted for Trump are OK with this. They’re already struggling, and now they’re going to have to compete with 300K metric tons of imported beef.
A SLAP IN THE FACE.
Trump wasn’t concerned about sailors aboard the USS Lincoln being pushed to the breaking point. He denied their suffering.
Now the Navy might replace Black war hero Doris “Dorie” Miller’s name on a carrier with Trump’s.
Trump wants the honor without honoring those who serve.
The DOJ let long-standing restrictions on owning short-barreled guns and suppressors lapse this week. Customers are already lining up at gun stores to buy suppressors and are sharing images of sawed-off shotguns online.
Because in Trump's America, we no longer have a gun violence problem.
Here’s an idea: give Ukraine the license to make patriots and some patriots. After they’re making them they can send new ones back to us if we still need.
Inexcusable to be short on interceptors and not allow greater manufacturing
It’s a sin
BREAKING: Elon Musk is pouring another $100–$120 million into the final 3 months of the midterms.
The richest man on Earth is buying elections to gut corporate oversight and slash taxes on the rich.
Remember: It's an investment.
Annual reminder. I’ve heard of some people being contacted from this Gmail. It’s not me, and I will never be contacting you out of nowhere or from anywhere except verified accounts if at all.
On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state."
This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states.
I’m voting NO.
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time.
Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Trump’s DOJ wants it to seem “normal” that they’re using election monitors to target Democratic cities in key battleground states.
It’s not.
“They are trying to desensitize us,” @marcelias.bsky.social says.
Don’t fall for it. Help us fight back: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg
Today is Tennessee's primary election day. Get out and vote. We've brought you a bunch of progressive candidates that can help change the Dem landscape. This is how you do that—primaries. I'll be in Johnson City TN tonight at @votekristiburke's election watch party. Join me. [BigSarge]
The fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching.
Why not even try to ban like…. The arch? Anything!
Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers.
These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR.
We need a data center moratorium — now.
The American Dream has become an American Nightmare.
It’s too expensive to buy a home.
It’s too expensive to get married and have kids.
It’s too expensive to retire comfortably.
The top 1% put the American Dream behind a paywall.
The so-called president of the United States is a massive money launderer and cut off by the bank that discovered it. Yet the story barely registers with the legacy media. What a disgrace.
WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK?
🗳️ Election deniers won key races in Arizona’s primaries
🖥️ Anti-voting advocates used New Jersey’s voter registration error to promote false election fraud claims
🏛️ A federal judge ruled Trump’s attack on mail voting is unconstitutional
Trump justified his complete dismissal of the Election Assistance Commission by asserting his presidential power.
But that’s not the only reason, Marc Elias says.
“[Trump] doesn’t like there to be true experts who are willing to tell the truth to the American public.”
🚨MORE OF THIS: Gov. JB Pritzker humiliates Donald Trump on LIVE TV:
Pritzker: "Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes.” DAMN.
The BBC has requested that Donald Trump hand over his phone records from Jan. 6 as part of his defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster.
When Trump sues someone who has courage, intergrity, & resources .... it's a completely different story. He’ll drop the suit and call it a “settlement”.
Today, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk called for an investigation into deaths at ICE concentration camps.
@theguardian.com and @france24.com covered it. Can anyone find AMERICAN coverage of this development?
Our media is complicit in the coverup:

Shady vance saying the thought of Watergate taking down a presidency today is ridiculous & would be a 12 hr. news story, means the presidency is so corrupt today even child rape accusations won't do it.
Every branch of govt. is corrupt including the racist Supreme Court.
Employers spend almost $1.7 billion a year hiring union-busting consultants and law firms to stop their workers from organizing for better wages and working conditions.
Imagine if they spent that money on their workers instead?

He sees it as a threat. Most Americans view it as a promise.
The difference between this proposed action and Trump's aggressive persecution of Democrats in gov't is that there is actual extensive, consistent proof of Trump's government lawbreaking.

NEW: California officials sued a Republican-leaning county to block a recently approved slate of extreme anti-voting policies ahead of the midterms.
The new rules would "illegally overhaul" the county's election system and "undermine state election law protections," the lawsuit claims.
NEW: A federal court dismissed a far-right group's lawsuit seeking to block Wisconsin from sharing voter data with ERIC, a data-sharing network helping states maintain accurate voter rolls.
Red states began withdrawing from ERIC after far-right conspiracy theories about the program spread in 2022.
He bombed Iran for no reason, spent billions in taxpayer money, killed our troops’, shut down the Strait of Hormuz, and now wants credit for reopening what he broke.
Now the bill comes due: military costs, shipping and fuel, reconstruction money, and whatever else.
All for an Epstein distraction.
Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down the three fronts of Trump's war on voting: restricting voter registration, controlling who gets to use mail-in voting by weaponizing the U.S. Postal Service and laying the groundwork for another "stop the count" campaign.
Thomas Massie says the conspiracy theorists were right about Section 224 of the NDAA, which he says will merge the US military with the IDF.
Massie says the provision is treasonous and warns that it will force the US to compromise its own security for Netanyahu's demands.
Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."
