“What’s rich — and telling — is Trump urging supporters to cheat even as he pretends to fight to protect the sanctity of our voting process. Trump has continued to vandalize our election system and prevent Americans from voting by mail, as Trump himself prefers.” www.mercurynews.com/2026/09/30/m...

Barabak: ‘Cheat like hell.’ Trump’s summons to supporters lays bare his cynicism, hypocrisy

The commander in chief wants voters casting illegal ballots, showing an absolute disregard for democratic norms.

Jack Smith: “it’s inconceivable to me how you can pardon people who beat police officers… and then vilify the officers”

Seems, madam? Nay, it is; I know not “seems.”

It’s astonishing that in 2026 this needs to be said. Nothing a woman does or does not warrants sexual assault.

My office has handled a lot of sexual harassment cases. “Her shirt was too tight” “She drank too much” “Why did she put herself in that position” “She was asking for it.” No. No. No. No. It’s not HER job to be on DEFCON 5 at all times. It’s HIS job not to be a predator. ~ Attorney Ryan

This is how you write a headline about the Eric Schmitt hearing debacle. @rollingstone.com

Trump: "We're gonna be signing a document today renaming artificial intelligence, because it's not artificial. We're gonna be naming it Super Intelligence. Officially renaming it."

A moment of silence, please, and one last Indy 500 victory by a nose after a thrilling duel over the closing laps, Rick Mears in his rear view mirrors the entire way, with the passing of race driver Gordon Johncock.

Trump's eyes are getting very heavy

“Political activity by government officials is highly regulated, and for a good reason. As the Supreme Court noted over 50 years ago, “it is not only important that the Government and its employees in fact avoid practicing political justice, but it is also … appear to the public to be avoiding it.”

“When the Trump Administration converts taxpayer money to use for partisan hype-pieces, it not only affronts the law, but it inevitably leads to the diversion of taxpayer funds from important government programs that support the American public.” More on Trump’s corrupt propaganda campaign ⬇️

The administration’s propaganda hype-ads are an abuse of power.

Not enough is said about how Trump views United States dollars as HIS own money

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d ago

Trump: "Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits. It's one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and Senate, $5,000 to every adult. We can do it and the Democrats can't, because the Democrats don't have any income."

How are measles and small pox doing?

Trump asks an African reporter, "how is ebola going?"

Republicans will take that tariff “income” with them if they lose Congress. Apparently.

RADDATZ: The president said 'they want to try to diminish Republicans & a Republican administration.' He's not talking about impartiality BLANCHE: There's hours of quotes. So for you to pick out 7 words & say 'that's what POTUS means,' that's very disingenuous R: We could pick other examples

Irony, my friends, is not dead. Paid for by you.

absolutely demented. like a scene from a horror movie

Trump is raging at news orgs for refusing to cover his reception of Xi after he banned three from the White House. The real lesson here: When institutions join together to resist his abuses of power it actually works, sending him into a helpless fury. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2158...

Trump’s Angry Tirade Over Failing Press Ban Reveals His Achilles’ Heel
