The Supremes really are trying to hasten the death of our democracy.

College students outsmart Republicans putting obstacles in their way. Again.

I’m confident Sec. Kennedy will do what he does so masterfully: The wrong thing. links.washingtonpost.com/a/sc/I8efXQi...

He is so close to getting it

Random but I’m surprised that when Trump spells his name in capital letters it doesn’t turn them gold. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Musk finally admits he helped Putin murder Ukrainians by restricting speed to his Starlink internet in Ukraine More evidence he is a sociopath & should never have this much power to wield www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

Vote for Trump, they said. He’s a businessman, they said.

It sounds like hyperbole to suggest the current administration WANTS measles to become common again but I can’t think of much they’d be doing differently if they didn’t want that. (I think some of them really are eugenicists who legit prefer disease spread to prevention; others just don’t care)

Ralph Reed, doubting the power of Democratic candidates in the ministry: “Voters will not vote for a candidate who professes to hold to their faith, but doesn't share their values.” Trump’s religious values include racism, bigotry, corruption, greed, adultery, etc. www.axios.com/2026/10/23/d...

More direct headline: “What to know: Trump is running an investigation into one of his critics as part of an illicit persecution.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/u...

“But it is simply astonishing that the president of the United States, the commander in chief of the United States military, is suggesting he had to negotiate with a private citizen to tell him to stop interfering with American foreign policy.” Now, imagine what MAGA would do if this were Biden.

Too little too late, Senator.

My senator with his finger on the pulse…of whatever Trump wants. Meanwhile, two-thirds of Americans oppose data centers.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Oh, boohoo, Mitch. You could have put an end to all this but you chose power over country.

Trump knows his supporters are fools. The stupid red hat that cost $25 in 2015 costs $55 now. www.washingtonsun.com/influence/do...

Katie Zacharia was “transitioning” out of the role. When I was a boss I had the experience of “transitioning” people out of their roles.

An apology, yes. But it’s’more than a violation of CBS standards. It’s a violation of journalism standards. www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

“here we are, watching one profoundly unpopular man tear apart the global system under which we have lived for eighty years in order to climb into bed with Vladimir Putin.”

I admit I’d have to think harder than I’m willing to on how to report on the Trump administration, but ever taking this president at his word on anything borders on bad journalism.

Did you see Trump wander away from his security after his Dalton Georgia rally? bsky.app/profile/thec...

Katie Zacharia was in the middle of an interview with WSJ when she was ousted. She was telling The Journal about her plans for the role. Then Jason Miller knocked on her door. 'JD wanted to chat with us real quick.' Zacharia never returned — to the interview, or the job.

Hope is not a strategy

If that dog’s face is not saying “Help me!” then I don’t know dogs.

In case you forgot what a U.S. president beloved by the world looks like. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Live in Manchester: An Evening with President Barack Obama. The arena holds up to 23,500 people with standing room, and the event was SOLD OUT.

Bigotry is baked in with Republicans up and down the ballot. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

My town and I met some of them at the polling place. Phenomenal fight against the power.

Trump hasn’t lowered drug prices, or: 🤡Lowered Inflation 🤡Lowered Gas prices 🤡Lowered Grocery prices 🤡Lowered national debt 🤡Stopped wars 🤡Improved healthcare 🤡Made America safer www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/b...

Money or morality? You know which one TV networks have chosen. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/b...

Trump is forever re-aligning the world order and not in a good way. He sticks his finger in Congress’s eye and they do nothing but write inquisitive letters.

Trump raises his middle finger to Sen. Budd & Congress and exempts Russia from a new sanctions measure that Congress passed last month, offering another economic lifeline to Putin.

Trump fires a lot of the “best people” who always seem to be women but never men. Do all the incompetent men know what’s in the Epstein files?

In February 2024, New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Donald Trump, his adult sons, and executives intentionally falsified business records and overstated his net worth to obtain favorable loan terms.

You get who you voted for. “Corbett said that in 2024 — the election he is charged with voting illegally in — he cast his ballot for President Donald Trump.” www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Sen. Thom Tillis on some Trump appointees: “too many others are cynical, shameless, boot-licking sycophants who shouldn’t be allowed to tour the White House, let alone work there.” Meanwhile, he endorses Michael Whatley, a Trump sycophant, for US Senate. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Great job, Polis. “Prominent MAGA election activist Tina Peters met with Trump this month. Convicted in 2024 of crimes tied to a breach of election equipment, Peters was released this year after Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) commuted her sentence.” www.axios.com/2026/10/16/t...

If today’s Connections difficulty is only 3 of 5, I’d hate to see a 5.

If you still need a reason to vote Democratic up and down the ballot and throw all the bums out, this is it. An incredible litany of corruption.
