“The federal government went on tv and lied about Alex. They tried to slander his memory to cover up their crime. Not only was it wrong. It was shameful, unfair, and unacceptable. We want our sons killers brought to justice once and for all.”
Alex Pretti’s family holding their first news conference addressing the media this morning. It’s been 9 months since their son was disarmed before being shot to death by federal agents in Minneapolis. No one has been held responsible.

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

here, write it down so it’s easy to repeat: an illegitimate supreme court allowed an insurrectionist barred by the 14th amendment to take office and his pardons aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on

One person doesn't want you to see "Musk," but the rest of America does. See it while you can in theaters and VOD(coming soon).
Elon Musk's audacious campaign to keep Alex Gibney's Musk out of theaters and social media shows the fantastic power Musk wields in America today, especially the power to squelch his critics. www.status.news/p/elon-musk-...

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

Trump’s goal is to intimidate me and get me to back down. That’s not going to happen. I will not be silenced, and I will not stop fighting for my constituents.

This is outrageous. Trump's DOJ is working proactively to sow doubt in our elections and laying the groundwork to deny elections that Republicans lose. This is fascism, plain and simple, and we must call it out.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has moved to preemptively block certification of the results of Alaska’s Senate race if Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses his tight race against Democrat Mary Peltola next month.

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people
NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

Again, it's not just that this is appalling and indecent. It's that it reveals someone inhabiting a moral universe where even the concept of decency is so unfathomable and alien that it doesn't even occur to you to attempt a half-assed impression of how someone who isn't human garbage might react.
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

"Not every dickpuncher is a problem," reports Dickpuncher Times, a publication of particular interest to dickpunchers and people devoted to dickpunching, financed largely by dickpunch ads. Finally, a nuanced take on everyone's dicks being ruined forever by all the punching. What a blessing.

A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators.

A good hedge, then, would be to say now that these oligarchs are meddling in the election, and will have to answer for it in January, no matter the size of Democrats’ victory. www.offmessage.net/p/donald-tru...

Remember all the piss-ant, fascist bootlickers that propped up this goon and got rich and empowered by him. They will ultimately denounce him and shrug off their complicity. Most in government and media will give them a pass. Don’t let them.
😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event Supercut:

ohhhh this genuinely helps me understand these trump accounts better: they’re bribery mechanisms! of course
My 4 yr old daughter has an account, opened without our consent. The maximum amount of money any person can donate to my campaign is $1,000. The limit to what a corporation can donate to our daughter's account: none. Every corporation with business before the MN Legislature can now donate stocks...

Hacking a voting machine (as suggested in the teaser) isn't the problem. That's how you find and fix weaknesses. The problem is that they were told not to tell the vendor (or anyone else) what they found, so the result could be kept on the shelf and used to cast doubt on election outcomes. Yikes.

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.)
Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.
