Seriously had to Google this after seeing it mentioned on social media, when it ought to be the lead story of every media outlet. time.com/article/2026...

C'mon man don't feed into his nonsense. Watch the video. He's being absolutely ridiculous and the notion that utah had to apologize to this soft, squishy little man is wild.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.

There is no world in which a police officer should be justified in shooting at a parent accused of shoplifting diapers for their child. www.cnn.com/2026/10/19/u...

When the people of Maine go to the polls, keep in mind that Susan Collins paid for Johan’s murder by ICE, a little girl no longer has a father because of Susan’s vote. End the killing, vote for @troyjackson207.bsky.social

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

Lots of folks are comparing McConnell’s vote today to Feinstein’s finals days in the senate. The main difference is that Feinstein was co-sponsoring legislation to expand voting rights, while McConnell voted to cut SNAP and end environmental protections.

The thing you want to do right before an election where your party is on the ropes is get into a knock down, drag out fight over getting your name on another guy’s memorial. Real kitchen table stuff there.

New photos reveal widespread damage at multiple U.S. positions across the Middle East caused by Iranian attacks. www.cbsnews.com/news/new-pho...

wow. with this announcement, all of ed sheeran's openers for this tour have pulled out:

mackenzie scott really seems like the only billionaire to figure out that you can be a literal hero to millions with a relative pittance

This is true of every federal agency. You CANNOT restore normal function in the scientific process unless you clear out every single person who's been drilling holes in the boat.

This week we celebrated the transfer of three buildings that had suffered from years of disinvestment, away from their neglectful owners. We will continue to address New York City's housing crisis with the scale and urgency New Yorkers deserve.

I think MAHA is very straightforwardly the triumph of the snake oil salesmen and the way we beat it is the same way you always beat snake oil salesmen: regulate their claims

Perspective.

Most American have zero interest in the US government treating one of our most important historical allies and trading partners like this. But the worst among us is running the country, thanks to the worst and most irresponsible voters among us.

So I guess Trump refusing to address any of the weirdness with Natalie Harp's role in the administration means the press just stops asking?

Mike Rogers just held a rally where he hugged Donald Trump, embraced him on stage. Did any of you hear about that? The media wants you to think that Rogers' association with the President is less relevant for the public to be informed about than Abdul El-Sayed's association with a Twitch streamer.

The Canadians, realizing they could completely destroy the Republican Party in November by shutting down oil exports and driving us gasoline to $9/gal

Ships traveling between the upper Great Lakes and the Atlantic must pass through Canada’s Welland Canal. The 27-mile canal and all eight of its locks are entirely in Ontario, meaning a strategically important portion of U.S. Great Lakes maritime trade depends on Canadian-controlled infrastructure.

One strategy that a lot of people are going to use to rehabilitate their image in the post-Trump world is to claim that while they nominally supported Trump — because he was the least-bad option — they privately hated and disagreed with him the whole time.

the year is 2027. gas costs $83 and lettuce is at war with us. however every location on every map now says AMERICA

The Pentagon fired the publisher and editor in chief of Stars and Stripes, the military newspaper that is supposed to maintain editorial independence from the very department it covers.

This is just mental illness at this point

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a... Ben-Gvir is a blood thirsty psychopath, war criminal and one of Israel’s beloved genocidal leaders. America and the world should be sanctioning, divesting and boycotting Israel in every way until this apartheid regime falls.

Trump shouts-down and name-calls a reporter in Oval Office Why didn’t the next journalist stand up for his or her colleague? My latest ====>

Someone should put up a billboard that updates how much money the Trump family has stolen from the government. Like the National Debt Clock, but focused squarely on the grifter in chief.

You could argue, correctly I think, that the current willingness to tear down the post war order is rooted in the fact the folks who could tell you why it was built are almost all gone.

The USS Abraham Lincoln has been at sea for 200+ straight days, and reports say conditions onboard are so bad that multiple sailors have tried to jump off. Our servicemembers deserve better than this. There needs to be an investigation.

Ronald Reagan ignored the AIDS crisis—and his “dear friend” from Hollywood, Rock Hudson, who asked for help. Dr. Fauci jumped in and helped. Guess which guy the homophobic ghouls in the Republican Party revere today.

Today at the Bar.

I think pollsters will be surprised by how the numbers shake out in next week’s Michigan Senate primary, especially in Detroit. The idea that the Black community doesn’t care about Israel/Palestine may once have been true, but Trump’s Middle East fuck-ups have likely put it on everybody’s radar.

What is the “dO soMetHiNg!!!” crowd smoking these days??? One Republican Senator is preferable to two Republican Senators any day of the week. Massie votes with Trump over 90% of the time. Leave it vacant and tell Kentuckians to blame the GOP for the fact they’re not adequately represented in DC.

It is political malpractice for Democratic senators to be helping Trump fill judicial vacancies four months before the midterms. Completely unserious people.
