It will take decades to unwind the layers of corruption of Trump's orbit
The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

This guy tweets railing against "experimental" mRNA vaccines, but he also has an affiliate link for peptides for you is to use on yourself that come in vials that literally say for research use only. He's a grifter making on you not knowing what the word experimental means.
They’re now injecting endangered baby elephants with experimental mRNA

If you want to be successful as a lived-experience non-profit fundraiser, repeat after me: “I was born at a very young age. No clothes. No money. No spouse. Not one friend came to visit me when I was born. My own parents didn't even invite me when they got married. I couldn't walk until one year old. At 6, they sent me to school. I somehow endured 9 whole years. In the morning, all I could eat was breakfast. In the afternoon, all I could eat was lunch. At night, all I could eat was dinner. The moment I closed my eyes, everything went pitch-black and I couldn't see anything.” And say it with a sad face.

“Their secrets are levers of control. Keeps them in line. Makes them a team player. And will make them fight the hardest on issues that don’t make sense in order to keep their secrets just that. Secrets.”
On Lindsey Graham. Stay with me on this. The worst kept secret in Washington DC came out today because 3 brave men came out and told the truth and it doesn’t matter if it is after he’s dead. Brave? Yes brave. Why are they brave? They had to go on camera and tell intimate details of their personal lives. To the world. That is extremely difficult to do. Yes it’s brave. And Stressful. They walked into the public square opening themselves to the opinions of the entire world. No matter your opinion on the issue, they took a courageous leap in coming forward. If you are critical, would you go on camera and tell your secrets to the entire world? I would bet a lot of money you wouldn’t. Ok but there is more to this. Because this is the world I saw up close in Washington. I saw behind the curtain and saw ALL the wizards. Everyone in the highest levels of power in Washington DC are keeping secrets that would destroy their entire lives. And that’s exactly why they have power. Not because they are so smart or qualified or the best choice for leadership. I mean really, if you think our best and brightest are in charge then do some critical thinking and look at the pathetic state of our debt, our dollar, and how our government is run, and the outcome that affects your life. Their secrets are the only reason these people rise to the top. Because their secrets are not secrets. We all knew Lindsey Graham was gay. Everyone did. Their secrets are levers of control. Keeps them in line. Makes them a team player. And will make them fight the hardest on issues that don’t make sense in order to keep their secrets just that. Secrets. So everyone is arguing about how this is old news, why now? Or arguing about being gay, and gay issues. Or arguing because that’s what everyone does on the internet, just argue with each other and with bots about issues they don’t have the real truth on, but throw out their strongest opinion anyways. I’m here to tell you the granular issue you need to dial in on and block out the rest of the noise. Three gay men just bravely pulled back the curtain and tried to teach you all the most important lesson America needs to learn. It’s this. America’s most powerful leaders keep secrets that comprise them in the most dangerous ways for the security, safety, and prosperity of our nation. That’s the whole point. I tried my hardest to fight the entire system on both sides of the aisle and couldn’t beat it because YOU ALL keep voting these people back into office and back into power. By the way, I always cosponsored the Term Limit bill and no matter who is in charge, Pelosi, McCarthy, or Johnson, Dem or Rep, that bill never ever got even close to getting a vote on the House floor. So the question for you, The American People, is are you able to learn the lesson and if so, what exactly are YOU going to do about it? Ask yourself, what are you voting for? Donating to? Volunteering for? And are you really satisfied with the outcome election cycle after election cycle?

I'm a former Republican and co-leader for UNC IP and Thom Tillis has been far from "a consistent voice of reason" and often was a shameless toady for Trump and his policies. Just look at the Senate Judiciary hearing for Biden nominee Ryan Park to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Replying to @abreezeclayton
@ThomTillis has been a consistent voice of reason and a respectable leader at every stage. Your criticism of him in this context is regressive and nonsensical.

Right here, that's how he really is.
Yesterday, Trump repeated and doubled down on his threat to Marine Corps veterans to deny their claims for medical care linked to toxic water contamination at Camp Lejeune if North Carolina didn't vote for Republicans. More: ncnewsline.com/2026/10/21/tr…

In 2020, Tommy Tuberville promised to donate “every dime” of his $174,000 Senate salary to Alabama veterans and their families. A June investigation found no evidence he followed through, a pledge now worth roughly $1 million. Tuesday night, after a reporter asked about it, Tuberville told staff to remove him. Then he called the media “socialists” and “communists.”

That would involve a nation caring for the poor and sick and welcoming the stranger. And MAGA Christianity will never capitulate to actual Woke Jesus.

Weird we can’t find any videos of Ann being this upset about costs in the last two years. It’s almost like she doesn’t care as much when Trump is in charge.
"The moms in my district can't find baby formula, OK? They can't afford to fill up their cars with gas." — Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO) asks Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen what her department is doing to address inflation.

It’s not just Vivek Ramaswamy choosing pedophiles over people. Ken Paxton’s office offered a man who had faced child-sex-abuse charges a plea deal with one day in jail and no Texas sex-offender registration. Paxton now brags the man did 60. Hoffman served less than a month. Donors named in the Epstein files gave nearly $4.7 million to Mike Rogers (MI) and groups backing him. Then Rogers said we have to “protect somebody who got on an airplane and rode with him.” Michael Whatley (NC) appointed a convicted child sex offender to NC GOP leadership and kept him there after parents objected. Trump called Whatley “fantastic.” As Arizona Senate president, Andy Biggs helped kill a bill to replace the police force in Colorado City, where Warren Jeffs’ child-rape cult held power. Marshals had helped return an underage bride who fled. Biggs says, “I knew what was going on.” And he did nothing when he could have. Mike Collins (GA) voted against forcing the Epstein files out. Roger Marshall (KS) and Cindy Hyde-Smith (MS) voted to block an amendment that would have required their release. Now Epstein survivors are on TV telling voters what those votes meant. And Trump and JD Vance stand behind every one of these corrupt pieces of shit. This is the MAGA ticket. Every single one is on the ballot in two weeks. MAGA: Protecting Pedophiles Over People Every Time.

Elon Musk is a national security risk. There is zero chance of this happening, but the US needs to force a sale of SpaceX.
True. Imagine if the CEO of Boeing during WW2 ensured that his bombers, which included the B17 and B29, could only fly over allies and not enemy countries. The excuse making over the Starlink issue is pathetic and overflowing in moral cowardice.

Trump moving from bribery to flat-out extortion, saying he will screw over sick veterans if the GOP doesn't keep the House and Senate.
Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."
