Trump’s strategy continues to be— all the carrots for Moscow, all the sticks for Kyiv. This isn’t diplomacy, this is aiding and abetting Russia’s attempted conquest.

NOELREPORTS@noelreports.com · 2h ago

❗️Trump’s envoys told Ukrainian officials the Russian diesel deal could help “soften” Moscow and revive peace talks, Reuters reports. Witkoff and Kushner again asked Kyiv to halt strikes on Russian refineries. Ukraine made no formal commitment but signaled openness to a reciprocal energy ceasefire.

No president can abuse power alone: he needs a complicit Congress, and contractors to do the physical work. Riverbend's owner Logan Jones could have said "we can't start that fast", or "we need to wait for the court order". He didn't. You can call and tell him what you think. 2/ riverbendva.com

Morning Fellas Quote of the day

Just to be clear: we are fine in Minnesota. We are not being taken over, though there are more rabbits in our yard than some years. Also we still need to address creeping bellflower. But otherwise all good. Don’t need rescuing or another murderous occupation.

Trump is desperately trying to incite a riot before the election so he can declare an emergency

This level of naked, open corruption is unprecedented in our history.

Eight years ago today the Saudi government murdered WaPo columnist Jamaal Khashoggi. Today they own 49.5% of the biggest media/news company in America.

It's a bit of a bummer that the story today has been "look at this absolute doofus of a senator" and not "Jack Smith once again credibly accuses the president of many serious crimes"

Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 2w ago

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

Spent an hour with a friend today; we were holding signs for Dem candidates at the busiest intersection in a conservative area of MN. I'm happy to report that positive interactions significantly outperformed negative ones.

“Lisa Fights and Wins for the MAGA Agenda” — that’s how her own campaign describes her. That’s not what Minnesota needs in our next governor.

Please share. #Pinks

Yeah...

"Why should Canadians trust Americans who have twice elected someone they consider a venal, dangerous buffoon? They could excuse them for being 'tricked' the first time. But electing him again, by a bigger margin the second time, tells them all they need to know." — @brynntannehill.bsky.social

@atrupar.com you need to remove that misleading video.

The idea that we reelected the worst President in US history when he was vowing revenge on the nation is really hard to grapple with

Ron Schutz has admitted that he will put Donald Trump ahead of Minnesota. My friend, @keithellison.bsky.social, is putting working people first by taking on fraud, standing up to corruption, and fighting to put money back in your pocket. The choice is clear: We must reelect AG Ellison.

Keith Ellison, Minnesota Attorney General@keithellison.bsky.social · 3w ago

As your Attorney General, I’ve won tough fights to stop fraud, lower your costs, and put money back in your pockets. My opponent is running to be Trump’s lawyer. I’m running to make sure you can afford your life. That's what this race is all about.

Everything the pro-Trump billionaire Ellison family will now own: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central And more... With this comes the power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told. Shameful.

The way to look at this is George bush is trying to help Donald trump retain power on the Hill

Scoop: John Cornyn & George W. Bush are headlining a Dallas fundraiser tonight for all of the Senate GOP nominees in tossup races—except Ken Paxton It benefits a new joint fundraising committee for IA, ME, NH, OH, AK, MI & the NRSC w/ @teddyschleifer.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/u...

Here's the plain truth. On 10/7, a patriarchial govt attacked innocent people in thee most brutal and horrifying ways.

realize I'm a little bit of a quirky guy but being punched in the face repeatedly by masked men with guns actually is something I find frightening

BASH: He's a US citizen MARKWAYNE MULLIN: He wasn't arrested BASH: He was arrested. He was later released, but he was arrested. Do Americans need to carry around proof of citizenship now? MULLIN: If you're a citizen, you have no reason to fear

If @governorwalz.mn.gov wants to help the state D ticket, he needs to make an expansive statement on the fraud that occurred and that the responsible agencies reported to him, not Peggy Flanagan and certainly not Klobuchar.

Donald Trump has made nearly 29,000 individual stock trades since the start of his second term.    That is nearly 50 trades PER DAY.    The American people deserve a President that serves their interests, not his own wallet.

Trump Made 29,000 Securities Trades, More Than All of Congress

Donald Trump made nearly 29,000 securities trades in 17 months — more than every member of Congress combined. The stock-purchasing ban he’s pushing would leave him exempt

Give Ken Martin and the DNC the Credit They Have Earned. The Data Is In.

Critics have a vested interested in the status quo, which is why they have been complaining so loudly.

This is the founder of Silk Road – which enabled international drugs trafficking on an industrial scale, among other things – speaking at President Trump's midterm convention (after getting a pardon from him), because lol nothing matters.

LMAO this guy is being featured at Trumpapalooza because Trump pardoned him

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Oh, this is going to piss some folks off. They’ve repeated the lie so many times they thought nobody would check the receipts. We checked. Jeffries is the first Black party leader in congressional history, and the “bought by AIPAC” smear has been repeated like gospel. Here are the actual numbers.

he is giving the tools to the state parties. They lead the specific actions. Everybody should know about and get involved with their state parties and local affiliates. We all need to be encouraging that to our families, friends, neighbors, and colleagues. And, of course, we should be involved too.

In their respective MN primaries, Ellison (DEM) got 550,000 votes, 85% of the total DEM vote. Schutz got 370,000 votes, 100% of the GOP total. Offhand, barring an Act of God, I think Schutz is gonna lose. VOTE VOTE VOTE!
