And SCOTUS cleared the way for Trump and DHS to use a national database to look for non citizens. This is going to be a big problem in the midterm elections as legitimate voters get thrown off the rolls.

Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 23h ago

Nevada election officials said Thursday that 185 voters in the state who the Department of Homeland Security identified as noncitizens were all, in fact, citizens — the latest snafu in the department’s attempts to uncover illegal voters across the country. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Goldman Sachs warned big tech companies like Meta have to generate $300 bil per year in AI services to break even on their capital spending... And $1 trillion to make meaningful profits. Unnerving investors.

Zuckerberg’s $9 billion loss was the biggest single-day drop among any billionaire Friday.

Illustrations usually get right to the point.

Yes!

No argument here.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · yesterday

I swear, the Supreme Court as a body is not on the side of democracy.

States have authority over voter registration and elections. But who knows what Trump is going to do with this database. Vote early!

The Associated Press@apnews.com · yesterday

BREAKING: The Supreme Court lets the Trump administration use a revamped federal voter eligibility database for now.

The US taxpayer should not be expected to pay for a pro Trump ad. He has all kinds of money. Pay for it himself.

Sure hope this isn't a game plan for the November elections.. Law enforcement seizing ballots. CA Supreme Court justice: "..a substantial risk to election integrity"

DrH@drhaup.bsky.social · 2d ago

CA Supreme Court:Repub sheriff Chad Bianco must return more than 650K ballots confiscated this year in unprecedented move that violated election law. “Allowing law enforcement unfettered access to ballots itself creates a substantial risk to election integrity.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

All the preaching about waste, fraud and abuse. And Trump’s own cabinet member diverts money from health care for low income people to pay for his personal security

Alt CDC (they/them)@altcdc.altgov.info · 2d ago

Apparently $12M was moved from HHS's Office of Minority Health to help fund RFK Jr's security, while grants supporting preventive care for low income communities were canceled. Waste, fraud, abuse, and a spectacularly bad use of public health dollars 😒

Stephen Miller is essentially admitting the SAVE act is intended and designed to suppress D votes and get R's elected

God@thegodshow.com · 2d ago

Stephen Miller is TERRIFIED. It’s glorious.

Trump mocking Pres Biden. In the White House where he's replaced his portrait. With the president of China. Unprecedented. Embarrassing. Shameful.

OSINT Mirror Feed@osint-mirrors.bsky.social · 2d ago

Whatever happens with Harborplace in Baltimore a top priority is rising sea level. Which requires rebuilding the infrastructure. This is near low tide this morning. And before the expected effects of the NE storm taking shape.

A federal judge (a Trump appointee) blocks Trump's ban on several media outlets and orders access restored. Finds the decision likely unconstitutional. Which is often the pattern of Trump's decisions.

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 3d ago

BREAKING: Judge temporarily blocks U.S. President Donald Trump’s ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico and says White House must restore access.

Trump looks dressed for winter. Overcoat. Gloves. On a 64° September evening.

it is 64 degrees at Joint Base Andrews right now and yet Trump is wearing gloves are he greets President Xi

So BWI, Dulles, and Reagan National are going to be the test markets for a new AI air traffic control tool

Feds to debut AI air traffic tool at BWI, DC-area airports before nationwide rollout

Abysmal is right. But I assume there will be more of it. AI. Animation. To disparage the opponent.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d ago

oh my goodness -- I had no idea Mike Collins's hit ads on Jon Ossoff are *this* bad. Truly abysmal stuff.

Previously, no US president would put this out. Ugly. Unnecessary. Shameful.

Mark Clemens@markclemens.bsky.social · 4d ago

I noticed he didn’t answer her question. “Mr. President, two-thirds of Americans don’t think the U.S. is winning the war with Iran. When will it end?”

The Trump administration is using 'national security' to defend many of its actions/decisions. Limiting a free press is among the latest. Total nonsense. Like others.

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · 3d ago

No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, this argument should be chilling. Trying to limit freedom of the press under the guise of national security is what tinpot dictators do. That’s not how a functioning democracy works.

This is the essence of arrogance. Trump brushes off safety concerns raised by the ballroom architect by declaring "I am the code" Concerns include not enough emergency exits.

Women Forward ❌ 👑@womenforward.bsky.social · 3d ago

The architect for Trump's golden ballroom resigned after the president insisted on designs that violated safety codes. "I am the code," #Trump said after the architect pointed out the president's preferred design did not include enough emergency exits or fire-containment measures. (Source: WaPo)

The DOJ further proves it is Trump's personal law firm. Defends Trump's media ban. Calls WH access a 'privilege' Which means some get the special advantage and others don't. So only media that write favorable Trump stories get in

NBC10 Philadelphia@nbcphiladelphia.com · 4d ago

Defending Trump media ban, DOJ cites national security and says White House access is a ‘privilege’

It is pretty alarming that a US president goes before the UN and threatens to "annihilate" Iran. We are 7 months into a war he started and keeps stalling to end.

"ICE does not know how to conduct traffic stops safely"

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 5d ago

“We are fed up with ICE & DHS telling us lies… NO MORE TRAFFIC STOPS BY ICE.” Wilber’s lawyer says he was sideswiped and shot by ICE without any clue who they even were — and ICE then immediately lied about what happened (again)

Trump wants no accountability. Not here. Not anywhere.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 4d ago

The United States, which once freed prisoners from Germany's concentration camps, is now siding with the war criminals—and obstructing those who would hold them into account. Shameful—if this administration had any shame.

Quite the list Trump has joined.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 5d ago

The press becomes “the enemy” the moment the authoritarian can’t control the story. #No1stAmendmentBan

True! One does not have to report only what Trump approves to be a free press. That is not free at all. Critical reporting on presidents has been going on for a very long time.

Patrick Chovanec@prchovanec.bsky.social · 5d ago

A “free press” means that the President does not get to make this distinction. A “free press” that is only free if it agrees with me is not free.

Finally. A more united front against Trump's assault on the first amendment.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 5d ago

News: Major U.S. TV networks are standing together in solidarity with CNN after the Trump administration barred CNN, MS NOW and POLITICO from the White House. With CNN blocked from carrying out its scheduled TV pool duties, the other networks are declining to replace them.

The people in Trump's circle are paid to feed his ego. To counter his low public approval. This is nonsense. Like renaming Lake Ontario. And all the vanity projects.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 6d ago

Think about how these posts play out. Trump’s legion of weirdo cultists create these things. Natalie Harp follows these people. She saw this and thought Trump might want to post it. She printed it out & he told her it was great and she should post it. We pay her $150k to do this.

Certainly refutes his repeated claims. I won't even repeat them here.

@bertdove.bsky.social · 7d ago

Anybody in the least "shocked"?

People put up a banner on an overpass of the Baltimore Beltway which reads: "Fed up. Vote early. Oct 22 - Oct 29." Good message..and reminder

This must be part of Trump's bunker plan. And another way he tries to get his arch built.

Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney.bsky.social · 6d ago

President Trump knows that one way to gain advantage in the legal fight over a controversial construction project is to link it to a military need
