Guys I’m scared the takeoff is starting. I swear any one of the ~10 CVEs that dropped in the last 24 hours would’ve been “one of the worst in recent years” except a new one is dropping every hour

And I would have sued. If she’s 10 fucking centimeters someone should have been at the end of the bed already. That baby could have slipped out and hit his head if that dad wasn’t looking. Nurses walking around looking confused asf. He looks irritated and rightfully so.
Dad better send that hospital an invoice 😭

Republicans in power want children to die. They torture women by forcing them to give birth, then, in turn, torture the child with sexual violence, religious indoctrination, and school shootings. Theologically, demons are based off the actions of humans. Laura is one such demon.

Closed your comments, eh? Typical of sick fucks like you
Hey Amy, you’ve really confused me, and millions like me! 🛑 You said you were sexually abused between the ages of 9 and 12 by your stepfather! Why didn’t you tell anyone for three years—a schoolteacher, your doctor, Why did you wait three years? Why did your own biological father allow that to happen for all three years? STRANGE! 🛑 You’ve said your mother knew about the sexual abuse. Why would she do that? I mean, what would she gain? 🛑 Your mother is a very well-educated woman with a master’s degree in public administration and worked at Children and Family Associates in one of the first few sexual abuse programs! How did she end up getting that job helping victims of sexual abuse? I don’t understand! 🛑 Your mother gave an interview calling you a liar and disputing all your claims in June 2020. Why didn’t you respond publicly at that time? 🛑 This is very difficult for me to understand: you said you “did have food to eat.” 🛑 Was your stepfather convicted? Are there any court documents or police reports? I mean court documents or police reports—NOT A COMMUNITY NOTE, PLEASE! & Strangely: 🛑 Where in that ad does your mother say anything about your sexual abuse? She just denied your claim of living in a tent! Why did you connect that to your claim of sexual abuse? She never used the words “sexual abuse”—at least in this video! We all sympathize with any difficulties you’ve gone through. BUT… 🛑 Why don’t you hold a press conference and explain all this to the people of Ohio and all of us who are concerned? FINALLY: 🛑 Do you want Ohioans to vote for you just because of your unverified claim of a difficult childhood 50 years ago? 🛑

Court records show Cledith Arthur was charged with raping Acton in 1978 after her biological father reported the abuse; he was indicted but fled before trial, remaining a fugitive. FactCheck.org and National Review confirm records corroborate her account. factcheck.org/2026/10/contro… nationalreview.com/news/amy-acton…

An IDF sniper just shot at me and my colleague Ali while we were working in Zowtar Al Gharabieh. We were clearly marked press and standing with a member of the Lebanese army.

I love how Albanians don’t give a fuck about international news coverage and they are just so self sufficient to continue this for weeks now. That’s truly a revolution.
Impressive discipline by astroturfed MAGA demagogues to ignore protests and riots in Albania against the corruption of the country's political class Surely that wasn't because those in the streets were non-immigrant Europeans, or that the protest wave was triggered by the planned selloff of Sazan to Jared and Ivanka, who first discovered the island during a pleasure trip on Nat Rothschild's yacht This video of protesters battling riot police was filmed just two days ago in Tirana

🚨BRILLIANT AD: Mike Johnson hasn’t held a town hall in Louisiana in years. He canceled 63 days of votes and closed the House to keep the Epstein files waiting. He chose billionaires and the Epstein class TWICE. All while cutting Medicaid. Conrad needs to beat him:
🚨 NEW AD: Where is Mike Johnson? Not in Louisiana. He hasn't held a town hall here in years. Not in Washington either. He shut down the House rather than let it vote on releasing the Epstein files. Mike Johnson forgot Louisiana. I never will.

Hegseth came back from Israel with new ‘intel’ from Netanyahu which might make Trump do another strike on Iran? Are. You. Fricking. Kidding. Me?
מקורות בבית הלבן: בשעות האחרונות חל שינוי לכאורה בעמדה האמריקאית לטובת מתקפת מנע על איראן. מקורות בבית הלבן מסבירים את השינוי בעיקר מהמשקל הרב שנתן הנשיא טראמפ להערכות ולמודיעין שהביא בפניו שר ההגנה פיט הגסת׳ עם שובו מהפגישה עם ראש הממשלה נתניהו.

Elon is now threatening the United States Government if he is investigated after the midterms. You know what eliminates those threats? Seizing all of his assets, nationalizing SpaceX, and putting him on trial for treason against the United States and war crimes against Ukraine. If he wants to threaten with all his money, take away all his fucking money.

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Troops and military families leak photos of burned aircraft, bombed barracks and self-dug foxholes from the Iran war, and say the Pentagon threatened them for sharing any of it The images come through MeidasTouch and VALOR Media from anonymous service members, contractors and spouses. What they describe, base by base: -Prince Sultan, Saudi Arabia: dining halls, workspaces and dorms destroyed; an AWACS and two KC-135 tankers damaged in one strike that reportedly injured 10 to 12; bunkers delivered with no doors; a photo sources say is a destroyed C-17 that the Pentagon has never acknowledged -Muwaffaq Salti, Jordan: three months of incoming so frequent the alarms couldn't keep up; F-15s, F-35s and Reapers damaged; a ballistic missile got past interceptors and hit barracks on July 17, killing three, with troops saying they heard the wounded calling from inside the flames; housing hit twice; troops told they were going home, then ordered to stay after throwing out their bedding -Camp Buehring, Kuwait: some troops lived out of a van in the desert for three months; September photos show the camp nearly abandoned -UAE: no warning the war was starting, no shelters, only security teams armed; troops hid in hotels ordering takeout or dug their own foxholes; leadership described as "rudderless" -Bahrain: Fifth Fleet headquarters damaged; families say evacuation planes were waiting but the Pentagon refused because it would "look bad at home," then the airport was hit; some paid tens of thousands to escape, hid in a mall parking garage, or were housed in residential buildings that were struck within hours; senior leaders reportedly flown out under cover of a "training exercise" -Across the force: no embedded press, rumors of year-plus extensions, troops saying they learned the war began from the news and don't know what they're fighting for The Pentagon’s latest number to Congress is $43.6 billion for the war, $45.1 billion with fuel, and base damage still isn’t in it. The people who lived in those bases just filled in the blank, and the strike plan for November expects them to do it again. Source: @MeidasTouch / Writer: Daniel
