Like the swallows returning to Capistrano, caravans magically appear at election times when GOP candidates are in trouble. I wonder why??
A migrant caravan with hundreds of people, mainly from Central America, continued traveling on foot through southern Mexico as the group headed towards the United States in hopes of work and better opportunities for their children

We have seen that happen, twice, in recent years...
🚨 BREAKING: Trump says anyone running for president should take a cognitive test because you could end up stuck with an idiot for years. "I mean, a guy walks in there, he's got good BS. He walks in and suddenly you're stuck with an idiot."

Dear Leader obviously failed his world history classes ( or paid someone to take his tests).
Donald Trump: 🇺🇸🇮🇹 "Estados Unidos e Italia están unidos desde hace miles de años, desde la época de la Antigua Roma"

Not sure it's a great sign for the future of democracy when one person, who is the biggest donor to the GOP, also owns a satellite system he can turn up or down like a volume dial to affect the outcome of a war + a social media platform used to influence public opinion

A deal worthy of a 19th century imperial power. Shameful.
NEW: Trump’s mega Venezuelan oil deal, signed by Hegseth and Rubio, benefits an unknown group of investors and was intentionally crafted to keep the next U.S. president or future leaders of Venezuela from undoing it. @propublica saw the secret contract: propublica.org/article/trump…

The White House posting Down syndrome slurs on official media accounts to attack a journalist. Is there no bottom to this depravity?

UNBELIEVABLE: Russian state-run media is now broadcasting footage of Trump administration official Steve Witkoff calling Vladimir Putin a “HUMANITARIAN.” Yes, a HUMANITARIAN. Let’s review who Witkoff is praising: - Invaded Ukraine, unleashing a devastating war that has killed thousands of civilians and displaced millions. - Oversaw the unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children, resulting in an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against him. - Presided over a military responsible for massacres of civilians, including atrocities in Bucha. - Devastated Mariupol, where Russian forces bombed a theater sheltering civilians, including children. - Ordered widespread attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, leaving millions without electricity and heat during freezing winters. - Oversaw a regime responsible for systematic torture, rape, and other war crimes in occupied Ukrainian territory. Imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who subsequently died in a Russian prison. - Backed brutal bombing campaigns in Syria, where Russian and Syrian forces repeatedly attacked hospitals and civilian areas. - Crushed political dissent, imprisoning critics, independent journalists, and antiwar protesters. And now, because Putin released an American imprisoned in Russia for more than four years, Trump’s envoy is praising him as a humanitarian. There’s a reason Russian propaganda outlets are broadcasting this footage. When the Kremlin can use the words of an American official to rehabilitate the image of an accused war criminal, something has gone terribly wrong. Putin isn’t a humanitarian. He’s a dictator wanted by the International Criminal Court. And the Trump administration just handed him a propaganda victory.

Threatening to withhold compensation from veterans and families harmed by Camp Lejeune's contaminated water based on how North Carolina votes? These families have suffered enough. Their care and compensation should never be political bargaining chips. This is beyond disgusting.
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."

Top Trump Aide Steve Witkoff, to Vladimir Putin: "You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. I salute you, and I commend you."

Trump keeps saying the law required Sen. Roger Marshall to aggressively pursue patients’ unpaid bills and that Marshall could’ve been arrested if he didn’t. In reality: 1) The law the White House told me Trump was talking about gives doctors wide latitude to forgive the debts of patients with financial difficulties…as even an article the White House sent me says 2) Marshall himself told CNN last week that “we wrote off hundreds of people’s bills every month” and also provided millions in annual “charity care” 3) The controversy centers on Marshall’s hundreds of lawsuits against patients, and the law never requires lawsuits. Federal authorities have made clear that the “reasonable collection effort” standard often required of providers is satisfied by sending bills and doing follow-up like letters and phone calls 4) Nothing required Marshall’s 18% annual interest rate, which a Kansas City Star review of court records found was unusually high even among the Kansas practices that did sue patients Fact check: cnn.com/2026/10/21/politics/…

Alina Habba was an advisor to the Attorney General, was interim US Attorney in New Jersey, and all the while was negotiating a massive bribe to get a Venezuelan billionaire a pardon.
SCOOP: Julio Herrera Velutini, a Venezuelan billionaire, really wanted a pardon. He got it not long after his daughter hired Alina Habba, a lawyer close to Trump, in a deal worth more than $50 million. Habba was also working at DOJ at the time. nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/po…

Holy shit! Lawrence O'Donnell is reporting on the absolute catastrophe, horror, and chaos caused by the devastating attack that destroyed the U.S. Naval base in Bahrain. Operating in total secrecy — like all fascist authoritarian tyrannies — the Trump regime has blocked war correspondents from entering the area to report on what truly happened and the terror that ensued. Until now, threats of retribution against U.S. service members by the administration have kept everyone silent. Despite their clear responsibility to safely evacuate families and children from the base, the regime failed miserably, leaving families and children still displaced. This shocking failure underscores the utter incompetence of Trump and Pete Hegseth, both of whom continue to blatantly lie to the American people about the unfolding war with Iran.

There was a multi-year investigation by House Republicans into a pardon Bill Clinton gave to Marc Rich at the end of his presidency. Some guy handed Alina Habba a $50 million "job" and magically got a pardon from Trump and it won't even be remembered by this weekend

You did NOT get Greenland. Period. You are the undisputed world champion of lying. Greenland is NOT yours, never was, and never will be! 🇬🇱
Trump says NATO was "nice enough to give us Greenland. We got Greenland."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark and is not owned by the United States. A September 2026 security agreement expands US military access but reaffirms Danish sovereignty and Greenlanders' self-determination. stm.dk/en/press/press… …ternational-partnerships.ec.europa.eu/countries/gree… chathamhouse.org/2026/09/denmar…

Nine FBI agents investigated the classified documents Trump took to Mar-a-Lago. Kash Patel fired all nine. He told Congress it followed "internal investigations." Their lawsuit says there weren't any. Someone's lying to Congress, and I’d bet it’s not the agents.

BREAKING: Trump lies and claims that the Somali population in Minnesota have a 98% unemployment rate. FACT: About 72% to 75% of working-age Somali Minnesotans participate in the labor force, which is actually HIGHER than the general population. TRUMP: “You know they have like a 98% unemployment rate, they don't work, 98%. It's a disgrace, it's a disgrace, and they've ruined a great state.”
