This is, what, the third constitutional crisis today? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/10/12/judge-blocks-trump-administration-airing-taxpayer-funded-campaign-style-ads/
Trump blew past deadline to halt running taxpayer-funded campaign-style ads
A coalition of nonprofits had sued, calling the ads “propaganda.” The president has said campaign funds would be used to pay for the commercials going forward.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.
Trump started a stupid & illegal war in Iran that has driven up diesel prices. Now he wants to bankroll Putin's illegal war against Ukraine by buying diesel from him. One strategic disaster after the next. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...
Trump lifts sanctions on Russian diesel, suggests US may buy amid surging fuel prices
The move comes weeks ahead of the midterm elections.

Ok, now that shit is funny. And more true than not, regarding many men.
Not surprised by this headline, but I am happy to hear there are people on the inside who have the moral backbone/integrity to call out the 💩head's abuse tactics. Let's hope they're not all gone by the time the 🍊💩 is out of office. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Trump pushed FBI to investigate anti-ICE demonstrators in LA, whistleblower claims

Zionism is racism. The United Nations voted to declare it as such in 1975, half a century ago. This isn’t new, and this isn’t controversial.
She was taken by men in "plain clothes" & an unmarked vehicle based on nothing more than their claim to be federal agents, the public has a legitimate reason to demand verification & accountability.🤬 We need to know who they were, where she was taken & what legal authority they were acting under.🤬🇨🇦
It's stupid that he tried to change the name at all. He should have named it 'Super-duper Intelligence" - now THAT would have commanded respect. 🤭😅🤣😂
Calling it "super intelligence" will scare people even more than "artificial intelligence." This issue is framed. The name change, intended to make AI sound more dominant and inevitable, will likely harden resistance. Trump steaks, Trump vodka, Trump airlines, Trump casino, Trump intelligence...
Trump’s “Super Intelligence Force” puts AI, intelligence, trade and defence officials under his control while giving tech companies direct access to policy decisions they could profit from, creating fertile ground for corporate profiteering, regulatory capture and corruption.
Musk, Zuckerberg, Pichai, Amodei, Brockman and Huang signed Trump’s "AI accord" requiring outside oversight. Three helped write the "self-regulation" rules and are building the body that would set standards for and certify the auditors policing them.
Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…
#ICE Private detention donated $4.5M+ in 2024—93%+ to the GOP. GEO Group: $3.7M (92% GOP). CoreCivic: $785K (96% GOP). Then ICE detention expanded, contracts surged, profits soared. Follow the money—this isn't policy, it's a return on investment. theintercept.com/2025/07/10/c...
It's hard to tell which is weirder: the fact that these guys seriously suggest that models like Claude have consciousness/sentience or that they actually invest time and money (weird!) trying to convince the Pope as well as theologians and legal scholars of this belief.
This is insane.
Another reason why AI can't be trusted.
Trump chatbot reprogrammed to stop contradicting his lies. CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale documented that America. gov’s chatbot initially said Biden won the 2020 election with no evidence of widespread fraud, then began refusing similar questions. Multiple outlets reported the change.🔄

Does this give you confidence that humanity will still be here in 10 years? Hmmm.🤔🙄 www.axios.com/2026/09/29/t...
Trump, top AI leaders agree to voluntary AI standards
"They're going to be policing each other," Trump told reporters.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇
BREAKING: The Supreme Court is requiring Missouri to use its 2022 map in the general election, rejecting a late push by lower courts to require the state to implement a GOP-friendlier 2025 gerrymandering.
