A party bankrolled by like twelve billionaires does not have a platform. It has a client list. Every tax cut and deregulation freakout is just a deliverable, and the donors are the only constituents who ever get one on time.

The separatists in Alberta lost. Badly. Why we don't have to go around pretending otherwise -- and why those who keep trying to platform their voices and reason with their unreasonable grievances are doing more harm than good. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/26/o...

In letter to Washington’s SOS threatening legal action over alleged noncitizens on rolls, DOJ gets the date wrong for the election, writing Nov. 2, 2026. Election Day is Nov. 3. And they misspell voter rolls as “roles” MS NOW obtained a copy of DOJ letter demanding WA set aside ballots

Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it. Art. 13 of the UCMJ says no one being held for trial may be punished, and that pretrial confinement may be no 'more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence'.

“The goal was not to create a viable alternative energy source, but simply, as one internal memo put it, to make consumers ‘[b]elieve ExxonMobil is committed to helping solve climate change.’”

At some point, voters will understand that corruption and unregulated corporate greed are deepening an unsustainable wealth gap. We need to rise above the scare tactics are designed to distract and divide us.

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

Zelenskyy on Trump: "I hope that he will change his decisions, because I think it's all mistakes. It will not help us and it will not help the United States. But it's not my choice. And I hope he will change his attitude to Putin ... we can't compare me and Putin. He's the aggressor."

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social

I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.” If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.

Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

New — Mike Huckabee's family company is offering $5800+ trips to Israel, so tourists can meet "top Israeli officials," even while he is the Ambassador to Israel. Plus: he promised his Huck PAC would go "dormant" if he became ambassador. That didn't happen. Over the past 2 years, it's raised $4.5M.

SenatorJimRisch, the ranking Democrat on the committee that YOU CHAIR, is striving to discover who ordered the throttling of Starlink and StarShield over Ukraine coincidentally(?) as Russia was pounding them with a massive attack. If you know, you need to share that with the people.
