Former Prosecutors and Human Rights Leaders Launch The Rule of Law Project ruleoflawproject.org/news/project...

I bet the voters in question are all registered as Democrats. Glad Washington State has a great attourney general and secretary of state. apnews.com/article/wash...

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

Trump says if Republicans lose the election it is voters’ fault

Incorrect. Yes, it can. Get Federal spending under control. End rolling appropriations. Balance The Budget. Eliminate Trump's power toy tariffs w discretion. Medicare & healthcare are runaway stage coaches. The medical community is an undisciplined coterie of over medicalization. Pure waste.

Trump Unleashes Racist Tirade That should be the headline in every newspaper.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

Neil M. Bush, a brother of former President George W. Bush, said Tuesday that he had voted for James Talarico, the Democratic nominee in the Senate race in Texas, and expressed serious concerns about the record of the scandal-plagued Republican candidate, Ken Paxton. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/u...

NEW: A firm started late last year by the family of the Venezuelan banker Julio Herrera Velutini offered to pay Alina Habba $10m/year while she was an administration advisor. Weeks after she started at the company, Trump pardoned Herrera Velutini, who had been charged in a bribery case.

Trump said: “When I’m gone, you’re all going to be broke.” Truer words have never been spoken. He has plundered, robbed and bilked the whole country for himself and his family. That’s what disgorgement is all about. Disgorgement—please practice this very fine word.

What a diverse group of children. After private school vouchers, I wonder how much money is left for non-Christians, people of color, disabled kids etc. ?

If you only read the New York Times or watch CNN, you have no way of knowing this happened.

So we are "fighting fraud" by establishing a NEW slush fund where Trump personally decides payouts? What a grift. Trump is serious about fraud—serious about committing it!

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

Today we launch the first episode of my podcast. I interviewed Whitney Mitchell, whose fiancé and caretaker Garrett Foster was murdered at a BLM protest in 2020. Foster's killer was convicted by a jury and given a 25-year sentence. Then Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pardoned him.

“A comparable scenario would have been President Franklin Roosevelt siding with Hitler or Stalin in 1939. 'Mind-boggling that we have a president in this position'...” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Empires decline and disappear due to the cost of securing the fastest flung parts of the empire. Rome: Britain, Gall. Britain: India, South Africa. USA: Gaza. Israel. Iran. Venezuela.

"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales Americans told themselves like ghost stories... "But this alliance now exists." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Cool. You stopped using roads, too? That’s pretty retired.

When I first visited NPR HQ in DC as a new employee in 1998, the person I was most excited (and then shocked) to meet was Noah Adams. Excited because his deep, kind, inquisitive voice exemplified what I loved about NPR as a listener, And because I loved his memoir “Piano Lessons.”

Because, America First and he REALLY cares about the working man who plays golf 7 days a week. What other issues should he be concerned about? Ending the war? Affordability? Paying down the debt to reduce mortgage payments? Dementia? apnews.com/article/trum...

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."

Ukraine's survival requires an anti-Putin, anti-invasion Congress

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

1,000 years from now, teachers will struggle to explain to their students how at this time in history, we found literally the most despicable human being in America and made him the most powerful person in the world

Under Trump and his Republican enablers, the richest Americans and biggest corporations have made out like bandits. Average working Americans are paying dearly for what the bandits have stolen. The grift and the graft must end. Accountability starts November 3.

"In February 2024, Blanche & his partner Emil Bove — now Judge Bove — insisted that 'a fair trial cannot be conducted this year.' And yet, 22 days before the midterms, with early voting already underway in MN, Blanche’s DOJ searched a candidate’s home over paperwork a dead man filed 3 decades ago."

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS grants the Trump administration’s stay request in the FCC political ads case—effectively absolving the FCC of any requirement to complete the administrative process regarding its relaxing of the “lowest unit charge” rule before the midterms. Justices Sotomayor & Jackson dissent.

It cannot be stressed enough, in part because our political press seems to just brush this off, but Donald Trump loves state-sanctioned violence. When he says this, he absolutely means it. Remember, when the J6ers were going to hang Mike Pence on the Capitol lawn, Trump was perfectly fine with it.

“President Trump promised to end inflation and lower costs ‘on day one,’” Mr. Boyle said. “More than 600 days into his second term, he has done the exact opposite, driving up costs for American families with his disastrous war in Iran and reckless tariff taxes.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

Yet another issue where the only reasonable position is "everybody goes to jail." Anything less is incompatible with the rule of law.

"Ukrainian troops have been caught off guard by restrictions on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet systems that disrupted frontline operations, while Kyiv received no warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running."

Inflation ticks up to 3.7%, above the 3.0% it was when Trump took office, according to the last report before midterm elections that appear to be turning in large part on economic pessimism and concerns about affordability. @colbylsmith.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

NOT IN MY NAME!!!

Q: A number of the agent are in plain clothes and the vehicles are unmarked. Do you believe it was clear to the subject that he was being stopped by ICE? MARKWAYNE MULLIN: When you're doing undercover investigation, you're definitely not in a marked car and uniform

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: I think you said he was wanted for trafficking? REPORTER: Traffic infractions MULLIN: Traffic infractions. Okay. I haven't seen the case. Keep in mind, Biden ...

So a bunch of guys in plainclothes surrounded a man in a car and shot him, then the government disappeared him and refuses to release any information about his condition or whereabouts

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

Ossoff: "Tonight, a united Georgia will hear the trial the Mike Collins. Mike Collins has brought dishonor to our state through his personal bigotry and his widely documented ties to white nationalists. And he's sold out Georgia in his pathetic child-like devotion to Donald Trump."
