7 shots fired into an SUV with a 5-year-old child in the back seat as the vehicle was moving away. Markwayne Mullin claims the driver “weaponized” his vehicle. Bullshit! “Weaponized vehicle” has become ICE’s go-to excuse for shooting folks. Where’s the evidence? It’s not in this new footage.

Nothing screams “I want the Nobel Peace Prize” wuite like bombing school children in Iran, announcing a televised firing-squad execution, bombing boats in International waters, just hours after a former ICC judge won the Nobel Peace Prize. The irony is staggering. 🤦🏽‍♂️ 🔗 Source: bit.ly/4B4WL07

Holy smokes. What on earth is going on here? This is not fact-checking! At best it's poorly-informed nonsense but it feels very much like calculated misinformation. #MEpolitics
PolitiFact tweet: Troy Jackson said that Susan Collins “put people like Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court that took away Roe v. Wade.”

Collins did vote for Kavanaugh but it’s misleading to draw a direct line between Collins and Roe v. Wade’s end.

President Donald Trump said Thursday that the White House will consider anyone who does not adopt his preferred term of “super intelligence” as “the enemy,” escalating his campaign to rebrand artificial intelligence amid calls to erect more guardrails. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Trump says anyone who does not refer to AI as ‘super intelligence’ is ‘THE ENEMY'
The threat comes a week after Trump signed an executive order renaming AI to “super intelligence.”

Donald Trump is an absolutely vile racist. Trump: “The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!”
Trump: The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!
If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help — and leave the rest to us! President
DONALD J. TRUMP

Pretty wild to see Alito describe reliance on Obergefell as "much more concrete" than reliance on Roe v. Wade, because Roe was merely about "women's ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in." If it's a Ladies Issue, he just doesn't give a shit. www.cbsnews.com/news/samuel-...
"One of the important factors we take into account in deciding whether we should reexamine a past decision is the degree to which there has been reliance on the decision," he said. "Obviously a great deal had changed in the country as a result of Obergefell. There was a lot of reliance in various ways on the decision in Obergefell." 

I pointed out that people thought Roe v. Wade was settled law of the land, had organized their lives around it. Overturning Roe also would have consequences.

Obergefell, he said, was different. 

"After Obergefell, people of the same sex got married and entered into contracts … it was much more concrete," he said. "Whereas with Roe, the argument was made that it had an effect on people's ideas, women's ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in, that this would have an effect on the society. It was much more abstract than what would've been involved had we been asked to overrule Obergefell."

This article (and Slade's book) are fan fiction. Trumpism isn't a break from Reaganism, it's the intended result, a gov't by, for, and of corruption, lawlessness, racism, and misogyny. That's why Reaganites with power—Thomas, Alito, Kennedy, McConnell—worked hard to empower and entrench Trumpism.

He was not shoveling money into his own pockets. He was not murdering our neighbors. This bothsidesing shows utter moral bankruptcy.
