Trump’s son-in-law, who has no official government role and no federal security clearance, is leading negotiations with Russia that include multi-billion dollar oil deals that directly benefit his business partners and investors. This is what oligarch corruption looks like.

Interesting, though I believe reading unique expressions of thought is a delight. If AI is involved, will those moments, those phrases produced by a writer, fall to the wayside while writing becomes more homogenous?nytimes.com/2026/09/29/opini…

"“When legacy news outlets step back, LindellTV & Real America’s Voice step forward and are up to the challenge,” Mr. Lindell said in a statement" Translation: When news reporters are barred from doing coverage, we will rebroadcast Trump TV, unquestioned &unfiltered. 🙈

Is this what they do to help Americans with their health issues? Spending our tax dollars on this? Seesh.

Trump literally went to war without Congressional approval to distract from his coverup and involvement in the Epstein files. Republicans are forced to either lie to protect Trump, or throw him under the bus — and they are choosing to lie.

Rick Scott: "We didn't decide to go to war. We decided to defend ourselves from somebody that wants to have a nuclear weapon to kill your kids and your grandkids. We all hate high gas prices, but we do not want to be killed by a nuclear weapon. He's doing the right thing."

Unbelievable. Netanyahu’s administration has gone off the rails, killing over 70,000 people and committing war crimes and we’re spending our tax dollars on giving them more ammunition to continue. This is wrong @gop @dnc

Why would we provide this given the unlawful & immoral killings of over 70,000 Palestinians? And their continued thefts & killings in the West Bank? This is wrong! They are destabilizing the Middle East & undermining our global standing. @gop @JDiamond1 nytimes.com/2026/09/15/us/po…

We can only hope that the U.S. standing survives the Republicans' lack of accountability and ethics in ignoring Trump's poor choices, war, and grift. The American people deserve better. nytimes.com/2026/09/16/busin…

After running 18m voters through DHS database, TXidentified roughly 2700 people who could be non-citizens Officials investigated those 2700 and wound up referring just 117 of them to the AG. Nearly 600 people flagged as non-citizens were actually citizens (staggering 21% error)

Out of touch doesn't begin to cover it. A pound of ground beef, for the first time in modern history, costs more than an hour's work at minimum wage.

Who is Umar Kremlev, the Russian oligarch who reportedly helped pay for Donald Trump Jr’s wedding?

Holy Cow. We have inflation, economy & healthcare issues, the war in Iran he started spreading and DJT decides to go to a golf tournament in Ireland and rant about an election he lost. Reminder: no one has ever found evidence to support his claims.

Trump in Ireland lies delusionally: "We had a rigged election. As you know, it was totally rigged. Because I won three times. I didn't win twice. I won three times."
