If Democrats take both chambers, here’s what happens on day one.
Trump pardons himself, his family, and everyone within 250 feet of the Oval Office.
Not out of loyalty, but because he needs them not to testify.
Then he tries to make $20 billion on the way out, while calling the affordability crisis a hoax.
Here’s the paradox: as he gets worse, he becomes less powerful, and that makes him more dangerous.
The people around him are already doing the math. They’re not going to jail for this guy.
It ends in darkness for Donald Trump and a brighter horizon for America.

The Senate passed a bill to sanction countries that purchase Russian oil, so is the U.S. going to sanction itself now?

Notice that these Republicans — these “conservatives” — never ask Putin’s evil dictatorship to stop bombing, stop murdering, innocent men, women, and children. Our government is a disgrace. Our nation is shamed.

People of Somali descent are 1.5% of the Minnesota population. How are they "taking over" the state?
Trump is trying to start a race war in Minnesota: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help — and leave the rest to us! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

In other words, Trump's poll numbers are now at "immediate aftermath of inciting a violent insurrection" levels.
Just where you want to be 3.5 weeks from the election.

If you or I did this, we could face up to 25 years in prison.
But when Donald Trump uses the presidency for insider trading, Republicans just say, “well, he’s a businessman.”
The most corrupt president ever, and it’s not even close.
Just two days before launching an effort to slash red tape for commercial space transportation, President Donald Trump purchased up to $5 million of SpaceX bonds, according to ethics filings. cnn.com/2026/10/08/investing…

While ostensibly negotiating peace, Kushner and Witkoff pursue pipeline deals. The Russians keep throwing bribes at them, and the keep taking the bait

Imagine going to Athens of all places, the cradle of democracy and the rule of law, to make a speech that revels in unadulterated fascism and glorification of the strong man. Chilling stuff.
Do indeed listen to understand what the rest of the West is up against

The problem with the new Tory IHT proposal is immediately obvious to lots of people - it's a shame the Tories didn't spot it.
I really like Kemi Badenoch, but today’s proposal on inheritance tax makes no sense to me.
If your principal private residence is completely free of IHT when passed to your children, it creates a huge incentive to maximise the amount of wealth tied up in your home.
Why invest in AIM shares, private companies or other productive assets and potentially pay IHT, when you can put the money into a bigger house and pass it on tax-free?
Tax policy should encourage investment in productive assets, not create an even bigger incentive to pour wealth into residential property.

Some details: Kremlev, the Russian who sponsored Don Jr's wedding, is a former member of the Night Wolves biker gang, went to China with Putin and is personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children
New: Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of wedding expenses at Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish wedding, including renting out a private island and paying for the fireworks show. propub.li/4xTBcxt

He's the only president in history who conspired to overturn a free and fair election in order to stay in power. That's not revisionism. That's just a fact.

We see US counties where at least 20% of people live in poverty. America’s poverty map reflects historical economic geography: plantation slavery across the Black Belt and Mississippi Delta, lost coal jobs in Appalachia, dispossession on Native lands, and low-wage border economies. Some isolated dots are student-heavy college towns and should be ignored. Source: reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comment…

If I'm reading this correctly, the President is threatening the Fed with tariffs.

Donald Trump’s sons own drone companies.
President Trump just imposed 100% tariffs on foreign-made drones, driving business to his sons’ companies.
This is what corruption, and profiting from the presidency looks like.
