New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? "Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."

House GOP wants you fired up about taxpayer fraud right as the Community Notes crowd points out their own guy has pardoned dozens of white collar criminals, over half of all his individual clemency grants going to people who stole exactly what this tweet claims to hate.

Russia, Russia, Russia was not a hoax. Trump signed an EO tonight exempting Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month. The law was designed to squeeze the financial lifelines sustaining Russia's war against Ukraine. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...
He is a criminal, lying SOB who should never have been allowed to run again. Thanks McConnell and SCOTUS.
ProPublica@propublica.org · 2d agoIn 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence.

He has always been a Russian asset. Now his family and friends are too.
