NEWSFLASH: the president CAN’T give himself a pardon The fact that he even is talking about it is an insult to our constitution & voters know it More on Trump, the midterms, and the staggering corruption on @MS.Now 👇

What an insane weekend. Trump lifts sanctions on Russia. Republicans revolt. Zelenskyy sounds the alarm. New questions emerge over Ukraine’s restricted Starshield access. A devastating new NBC poll for Trump. And a whole lot more. Whew! The weekend bulletin is here:

Today in Politics, Bulletin 483. 10/18/26

In 2025, a majority of S&P 500 CEOs made more in 1 day than the median US worker made the entire year. Meanwhile, the median US worker would need to work 43,154 years to earn what Trump made in 2025 thanks to his crypto scams & various grifts. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

Ossoff: "I have no interest in running for president in 2028, and to be very frank, with just 16 days before the polls close, I want to urge everybody out there to remain focused on the task at hand. The Trump admin is out of control, they've lied us into war, they've sent prices skyrocketing ... "

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

I've never underestimated how stupid large groups of people can be, more than in the past decade of Donald Dipshit conning these fools into giving them their money. He's a billionaire child rapist who has you convinced that he's the savior of America. What the fuck are you thinking, MAGA?
