I want to see the Democrats address the issue of the rampant corruption of our Supreme Court justices; nothing will change until this is done. They have openly, with malice, violated their oaths to the Constitution and even tried to give us a king by giving the president immunity.

This election can determine whether millions of Americans pay more for healthcare — or lose coverage altogether, suffer, struggle and die. 💙 Protect Medicaid. 💙 Restore ACA tax credits. 💙 Lower premiums. 💙 Lower prescription drug costs. 💙 Save lives. Getting sick shouldn't bankrupt you...

I don't think I ever watched an episode of Star Trek (science fiction isn't my thing), but I thought casting a Russian while the Cold War was still raging, to make the point that humans would get along better in the future, was a lovely touch.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

On MSNOW, I slammed corporate media for their outrageous double standard when it comes to Abdul El-Sayed where they demand he denounce every fabricated link to extremism. But they don't press his opponent Mike Rogers to denounce Trump for his Jan. 6 terrorist attack AND for pardoning J6 attackers

Saw this case only because it happened near to where I was brought up. The comments on FB (even though there’s a woman involved) are noticeably quieter than anything involving non-white perpetrators.

Stop the selective outrage! "While politicians and sections of the media obsess over small boats and immigration, here's a story that deserves national outrage! ... Child abuse has no race, religion or nationality ..." www.facebook.com/groups/12182... via The Fabian Society Exposed

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

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.

Please share 🙏🙏. We need to hear all the positives and NOT the endless scare tactics

Freedom of Movement isn't just about immigration. It's about entrepreneurs, investment, skills, innovation, business creation and opportunity. Treating it solely as an immigration issue is like discussing the internet solely in terms of how many people use it.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

The President of the United States spent his Sunday night writing a 1,300-word rant about Bill Maher. Not the economy. Not the wars. Not the midterms. Bill. Fucking. Maher.

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

Obama: "The guy has become billions of dollars wealthier in office. Nobody disputes this! It's just -- how do you do that when you're supposed to be looking out for you? And the worst part of it not a single Republican in Congress has done anything to stop it."

Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

Great job here by Trump and RFK Jr: "...there have been more than 4,580 measles cases across the U.S. since Oct. 22, which is more than double the number for the whole of 2025. The vaccination status of 96% of those who contracted measles in 2026 was "Unvaccinated or Unknown"

NPR@npr.org

Pennsylvania is the worst hit state, with at least 1,338 cases of measles confirmed in 44 counties so far this year, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health. n.pr/4i4t0VJ

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

OBAMA: Remember that whole thing about drain the swamp? The only thing that got drained. was the reflecting pool after some no-bid contract got it all messed up. And then they tried to blame a 3 time Olympian by claiming he vandalized it.

We had such outrage for one building burning down. But silence when Google illegally chops down an entire forest. Even though that has done far more harm.

Tommy Tuberville pledged in 2020 to donate his Senate salary to Alabama veterans & families. An investigation found no evidence he did. The pledge is worth roughly $1 million. Asked about it, he had staff remove him, then called the media socialists and communists. www.huffpost.com/entry/tommy-...

Is Burnham deliberately trying to steamroll flat the ‘Burnham bounce’? Apart from Shell and idiots who say things like ‘drill baby drill’ who on earth thinks giving the go ahead to Jackdaw is a good idea?
