Absolutely hilarious! A Susan Collins-affiliated super PAC spent $26,000 airing negative attack ads against her opponent, Troy Jackson, in Portland -- Portland, Oregon!!! nytimes.com/2026/10/12/us/po…
In grief, a mother asks strangers to ‘Sit Here’ at a ballgame. Rhenda Strub invited strangers to accompany her to Seattle Mariners games this season to help overcome the loneliness of grieving for her son’s death. nytimes.com/2026/10/12/us/gr…
‘Breathtaking’ texts suggest GOP senator tapped tax money to power his campaign: experts rawstory.com/roger-marshall-…
Mother says she did not strangle her kids to death, "the vaccine did it!" The Trump administration and its minions are already onboard with such reasoning. Just got to find a Trump-appointed judge who is as gullible, and you can get away with murder. nytimes.com/2026/09/30/well/…
Without a functioning commission to interpret and enforce the rules, political campaigns must navigate uncertain legal boundaries themselves, said Craig Holman, Public Citizen’s lobbyist on ethics and campaign finance. belaaz.com/news/fec-deadlock…

Trump Must Reimburse Treasury for Public Funds Wasted on Partisan Ads citizen.org/news/trump-must-…
The rantings of an immature, whining child: “We don’t like stupid Jessica Tarlov, and all of the others, that are forced down MAGA’S throats." Not hard to guess these days who said this. As much as this whining should embarrass the source, we need share in that embarrassment.
Trump dips into Homeland Security funds to pay for his personal campaign ad. "This is legal -- in banana republics," said Rep. Massie (R-KY). New FCC and FTC Complaint Demands Broadcasters Cease Airing Trump’s Illegal Taxpayer-Funded Ads commondreams.org/newswire/ne…
Few showed up for Trump's press conference. Those who did could not hear anything since there were no microphones. In Trump's on-going vengeful effort to silence his critics, Trump silenced himself. newrepublic.com/post/215671/… via @newrepublic

A total loser. After engineering the deaths of at least 60 Americans so far, Trump is now trying to get his name engraved on the doorstep of the Institute of Peace.
History books are going to engrave his name somewhat more appropriately.

A truly selfish and childish president. Absolutely unbelievable that this great nation elected Trump as president. I dearly hope we learn. In the meantime, we will be denied arts and culture if it doesn't feature Trump. nytimes.com/2026/09/15/arts/…
A Doctor Sued 700 Patients for Debts; 81 Were Arrested. Now He’s a Senator. Why on Earh did voters in Kansas choose Roger Marshall as their duly-elected representative in the Senate? Good grief. nytimes.com/2026/09/08/us/po…
Why do US elections cost so much money? "The biggest effort on campaign finance reform is to reform the court system, because it's the courts that have destroyed our campaign finance laws." middleeasteye.net/news/why-a…

Trump left dozens of people onboard a flight he knew was dangerous. But, thank god, he saved himself. True presidential quality, looking out for the well-being and safety of our country. nytimes.com/2026/08/11/us/po…
A failed businessman -- Goren "Bobby" Zhoe -- whose own crypto company collapsed, and who was under investigation for money laundering, invested $100 million into Trump's business empire. No one knows where the money came from. nytimes.com/2026/08/09/us/po…
