"He removed opponents, rewarded loyalists, created fear, manipulated followers, and pursued power at any cost." And they aren't talking about Trump (although the words appear to fit). www.yahoo.com/news/science...

It is shocking that an adjudicated rapist could ever be elected president in the most advanced nation in the world. It is not shocking that he might have done that more than once (since he bragged about his prowess with sexual assault). Keul was a former Miss Switzerland. Anything to say Melania?
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
Funny that the Republican talking point is that this was a diss of the Cheesecake Factory. Ok. I agree. The White House decor is way worse and nothing should be compared to that.
Just putting it out there: I love the Cheesecake Factory, with or without Saddam Hussein’s decor. That Linda’s Fudge Cake… oof. 👏🏽 #sorrynotsorry
I think when Dems get in charge we should also look into Elon and Melania's visa processes. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...
The lie here is that he throttled both of them. Not just one. See: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/w... www.foxnews.com/politics/ukr...
I'm shocked. A Republican saying elections are rigged trying to rig an election. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
Oops. Certainly was using an approved government phone to do this shay work, right? Not a personal one? www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
"OPM failed to provide a credible reason for why DOGE would need access to personally identifiable information (PII) of tens of millions of federal employees". Probably because there isn't one. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
That capability HAS to be taken away from Elon Musk. No single man should have the power to personally overrule US policy. Or decide what it should be in the first place. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
"Those who pick fights with me should understand that I will find out who is really pulling the strings and come for them, not just their puppets." Spoken like a man used to pulling the strings. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
"Trump on Friday said he told his administration to file its lawsuit to block certification of the U.S. Senate race in Alaska if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses." So, it's ok to cheat when you win. Says it all. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
Shame on CBS, Washington Post, the law firms, and all the others who surrendered without a fight. Loads of respect to those carrying the fight for everyone else.
The BBC is doing something important, refusing to be intimidated by a powerful person trying to use the legal system to punish criticism and discourage scrutiny. They’re schooling the American press on what the 1st Amendment means. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-bbc-st...
Trump "will be the personal arbiter on whether the fraud is real and how much money you get." So, Jan 6 slush fund by another name then. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
"[O]ne person familiar with the situation said Musk spoke with several senior Trump administration officials, including the president, before imposing the cap." No individual should have the power to affect US international relations. www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-uk...
"[H]e wants to reach is $20 billion. And he'd probably like to put in place deals that ... can generate for the Trump family $100 million." Trump is clearly able to set goals and execute against them. As long as they benefit him directly. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
This is rich. They already fired all the whistleblowers who did that? Perhaps they can file a claim. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
If America elects a Republican House and Senate on November 3, we'll get worse than nothing. We'll have 2 more years of unfettered Donald Trump. (And no check either.) This man is falling apart before the eyes of the world.
Trump: "If you elect a Republican House and Senate on November 3, you'll get $5,000. And if we lose, you get nothing."
Comrade Krasnov, a truly disgusting human being, expresses his lack of human decency, in public, once again. kyivindependent.com/what-russias...
Here's another perspective on the Ukraine - Starlink situation. Ultimately you have to wonder what Donald Trump promises to Vladimir Putin when they are on the phone. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
Looks like Hegseth turned off Starlink access for Ukraine to keep them from damaging the diesel Russia promised us. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Great perspective. Let's stop covering what Trump SAYS. They are meaningless statements. Let's cover what Trump actually DOES. As the Bible says, By their fruits you will know them. And all of his fruit is rotten. www.jackhopkinsnow.com/p/nothing-yo...
"There are 22 days until the midterm elections, and a long-standing Justice Department practice tells prosecutors to be especially careful about actions near an election that could appear to help or hurt a candidate." Guess we don't have to worry about that anymore. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
Republicans are upset that their mobile phone numbers were caught up in the Trump probe because they called him before, during, and after Jan 6 but they are totally ok with this. One is DOJ weaponization and the other isn't. Do I have that right? Total hypocracy. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
The check is as much a confession of damage done as it is a bribe. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
ICE alleged that "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Surveillance video of the incident reviewed by ABC News appears to show the agent maneuvering his vehicle in the direction of the man running and striking him with the vehicle. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...
"Four Republican senators and two Democratic senators signed onto the statement released Sunday in protesting the deal. They said the administration failed to consult with Congress or submit any explanation to justify its decision as required by statute." www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
Trump, the great peace maker, sends Russia a lifeline by buying their diesel to depress prices in the US. What a champion of humanity. US $$ going to Russia to support the bombing of children in Ukraine. What a guy. www.bbc.com/news/article...
It was not incoherent and sane washing doesn't help. He was very specific. He named 2 California cities where he sent ICE and got protests. And then said it would be worth it. There was nothing incoherent about it. It was very specific. And got a laugh which is worse. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
It would appear the administration is aware that they are committing war crimes and are trying to protect themselves. Good luck with that.
NEWS: Eight major U.S. allies—including Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—have issued a joint rebuke of the Trump regime’s sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court. They vow “unwavering support” for the ICC’s independence.
No, I'm sorry. You can't. If you want respect, you have to earn it. And you have only earned contempt. And possibly criminal charges. You've earned those too.
Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."
That will also reduce reserves and eventually raise the price of fuel for farmers cutting into their minimal profits. Looks like Republicans are sacrificing farmers to make truckers slightly less upset?
Trump is temporarily allowing this fuel to be used on highways, although it's typically just for off-road farm and construction vehicles. Could that lower the price of diesel? n.pr/4hHUv5R
The biggest risk to election integrity is the Trump administration. The Federal Election Commission has been gutted and is, essentially, non-functional. This is by design. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
If I give this article to my AI, would that be dangerous? www.yahoo.com/news/science...
I suspect that the redacted material would be embarrassing to Abbott. It is state correspondence. Surely it belongs to the people to review and decide. If it was "intimate" it doesn't belong in official state material in the first place. meidasnews.com/news/hinojos...
It is not possible that Trump has any concept of what "morally binding" actually means. That would require personality characteristics he does not posses.
TRUMP SAYS ON A MEETING WITH AI LEADERS THAT HE THINKS THE DOCUMENT IS 'MORALLY BINDING' AND THAT HE IS SEEING 'TREMENDOUS SELF-POLICING', WITH AI LEADERS UNDERSTANDING THAT.
"Hegseth's announcement comes after President Donald Trump gutted the civilian agency specifically created to safeguard election infrastructure." www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
