Trump: “I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president”
This is outrageous. Donald Trump just announced a deal with Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel, and Treasury immediately lifted sanctions on Russian diesel exports through April. Those sanctions exist for one reason. They limit the money Putin can use to wage his brutal war on Ukraine.
Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.
The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.
It's been a pretty rough couple of weeks for Sen. Foghorn Leghorn, but no one deserves it more.
El-Sayed’s response to Kennedy:
Q: The Wall Street Journal reported that Max Miller had some negative comments about you. He said that you're 'smart as a box of rocks.' Do you have any response to that? HUSTED: No.

CNN and CBS News are now under the control of the Ellison family. We need independent, pro-democracy media to grow. If you agree, please subscribe to Democracy Docket now. demdock.com/4w6emld
🚨 BREAKING: The Pentagon has raised the official death toll of U.S. troops during the war with Iran to 21, with 865 wounded, weeks after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called reporting that the military had undercounted deaths “a complete lie.”

RUHLE: Why do you think the president is taking this position? TILLIS: Uhhh. I think he got bad advice RUHLE: Why do you talk about advice? He's the president! You said he's got great political instincts, and millions of Americans are suffering
Abdul El-Sayed just said the quiet part out loud about how to take on Donald Trump: Build an uncomfortably large coalition to defeat him. The coalition is the Republicans, independents, and Democrats who agree the country shouldn’t be run by a man who tried to overturn an election. (link below)
Republicans now having to spend many millions in multiple states where they should not have to spend anything because Trump endorsed the worst possible general election candidate in those primaries so now they are being bailed out by billionaires buying elections with dark money.
The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️
New in PN: “Project Meridian” is the stuff of satire "Leading this project of ruthless mapping will be 'three of our nation’s best minds:' Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich. In other words — at the risk of being unkind — a weirdo, a beardo, and a fatty."

Put this is the trump sanewashing hall of fame.
Oh brother.
White supremacist cops take a minority citizen, drive him out to the woods as a threat, and leave him there. No, it's not Mississippi in the 1930s, why do you ask?
4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.
Fox Business commercial offers a roll of 25 Trump dollar coins for $49 😆 You do the math
U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.
WATCH: All U.S. bombers deployed to RAF Fairford in England have been pulled out and returned to their home stations in the United States as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns across Europe. Read more about the withdrawal and threats here: www.stripes.com/branches/air...
the reason these people need to be stripped of almost all of their money is so that they stop thinking that it gives them the right to nominate themselves for the "benevolent dictator" position
“Democracy has been hailed as, like, the holy grail for the last couple hundred years, but democracies are inefficient,” said the crypto billionaire. “If you get a benevolent dictator, it’s actually extremely efficient." Hmm, where have I heard this before? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/b...
The corrupt gangsters running this government violate the law daily and use government funds for partisan politics to bribe voters in violation of the law. Trump has been emboldened by a rogue Supreme Court which has given him immunity and taken a blowtorch to the Constitution.
An American president is encouraging an enemy to destroy American cities. This is treason, though he will claim we are not at war.
Trump suggested tonight that Iran could "take out" American cities: "It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take— let it, let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
Donald, if you're reading this.... Come to Michigan.
Over a dozen states have important voter registration deadlines today. Check your registration and make a plan to vote at IWillVote.com. Then ask friends and neighbors to do the same.
This is Sky the Spitz he survived russian strike on Kharkiv last night. 3-year-old Sky was inside a car during the Russian attack on Kharkiv last night. Although uninjured, the dog suffered severe stress and is currently under veterinary care. The driver of the car was killed.
