The latest Truth Social post from the president of the United States.

Really read this…

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Wait until the end, he kills it!

Texas man dies in ICE detention center—was a legal permanent resident in U.S. Despite this he was locked up for 4 months. Staff refused to give him his heart medication—and ignored his report of chest pain and trouble breathing the day before he died. #AbolishICE #ICEMurders

BREAKING: Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help.

It's that simple. 👇

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

Long term consequences of shutting down USAID and international humanitarian aid programs. Such short sighted stupidity. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/w...

Goddamn, this point by @anandwrites.bsky.social really needed saying.

That's what I'm talking about. Dave Grohl recognized Jack Smith as a hero. 🔥

It's called justice, Carl, and unfit actions as a representative of the people.

I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan. I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all. He is a danger to the entire world. He must be impeached.

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

The Golden Age is going so well, Americans are nostalgic for 2008.

Ever notice how everyone screaming about cutting social security as an 'entitlement' are the politicians who will retire with a comfy pension or the obscenely wealthy who have enough money for a thousand lifetimes? Raise the damn cap!!!

Nolan Wells was murdered. No doubt in my mind.

Climate Week is here in New York City, and our work has deep roots. 18,261 trees planted this year. The most in a decade.

"We're uprooting fraud by getting rid of these freeloaders who keep paying into the system without taking anything back out" Genius.

Senator Whitehouse on the Senate floor right now talking about Epstein and Trump ties to Russia. www.youtube.com/live/zML49aB...

“If, as it has begun to do, the White House gives preference to Trump-friendly outlets, it will restrict the ability of fair, independent journalists to hold some of the most powerful people on the planet to account,” @JonLemire.bsky.social wrote in 2025:

Listen to the narrative of the Republican chair of the Benghazi committee, and in light of today, ask yourself if they believe what they're saying or just say what sounds good on camera. The GOP should take note, there is no statute of limitations in the truth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpCR...

Show me a politician that’s a millionaire and I’ll show you a crook.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

So... what if we don't have one?

I don't know ANYONE on the Right who fact checks.

FDA (20 years ago): This milk has been sourced from a meticulously inspected dairy farm, and has been through a certified pasteurization process. FDA (today): Look, it's liquid, and it's from a cow. At least that's what they tell us. It's fine, probably.

I'm sure there's a clip of Republican Senator Ted Cruz pausing his speech to say, no, these Democratic officials should *not* be shot and I disavow and denounce the Republican in the audience who is calling for assassinations at a Republican political event.

World-renowned mediator Tony Piazza on U.S. negotiations: The single most disruptive force interfering with negotiations of any kind of dispute and protracting fighting gratuitously is simple reactivity. Direct negotiations between parties, where parties are trading punches…
