🚨URGENT: When a president values himself more than the people he is supposed to serve, he needs to go. When a president wishes harm on those people he is supposed to serve, then sure as I am typing this, he is a traitor to his country and needs to be locked away for the rest of his miserable life.

Wonder if the reason the Habs looked so discombobulated Saturday is because they’re trying to implement the new defensive scheme. #habs

Khashoggi's Ghost @urocklive1.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
The former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee alleged that Vladimir Putin possesses a comprehensive kompromat file on Donald J. Trump. He didn’t suggest it. He stated it. The file, he said, is extensive, meticulously documented, and designed not to destroy Trump — but to control him.
According to Mussayev, the kompromat includes financial records showing illicit transactions connected to accounts either owned by Trump or clearly affiliated with his name. It also contains statements from operatives who were directly involved in kompromat operations — individuals who could, if necessary, provide witness testimony confirming the authenticity and intent behind the material. Most damning of all, he claims, are the recordings: audio and video documentation of sexual crimes against minors and acts of violence against women.

Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.
44. At all relevant times, Defendants Ross, Miller, Noem, Lyons, Homan,
Bovino, and the John Doe Federal Agents acted under color of federal law and within the
scope of a joint enterprise with the private actors described below. Defendant
Lewandowski acted in part under color of federal law and in part, as alleged below, as a
private person, his federal status having been limited to a temporary part-time designation
that his conduct exceeded. Shirley, Rufo, and Ben Bergquam, and the other non-party
private actors described below, agreed to and in fact participated in the conspiracy alleged
here: each acted in concert with, and with the knowledge and encouragement of, federal
officials.

After Trump used taxpayer money to air one of his literal campaign ads, FCC Chair Brendan Carr shrugged off the scandal, saying the propaganda was just a “normal PSA.” It’s ridiculous to the point of being insulting. It’s as if these guys think Americans are idiots. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

A friend of mine was raped by football players at one of our college’s frat house in 1998. She went through the internal system, which exonerated the men and accused and blamed her. We wanted her to bring charges and a court case… but she was so broken by then. She dropped out. Burn it all down.
