Everything about her and everything about the way he interacts with her and everything about their relationship and everything about the US president going around the world with arm candy decades and decades younger than him is just thoroughly grotesque before you even consider that she's a cultist

This proves only two things. The Ukrainian campaign against Russian refineries is causing serious damage. Putin has asked Trump to help him out and the US president obliged.

You can’t make this shit up. Trump spent years telling Republicans that voting by mail was corrupt, rigged, and fraudulent. Now that the bottom has fallen out from Republicans, suddenly he wants them to vote by mail. Reminder: Trump has already been voting by mail.

El-Sayed’s principled opposition to Israel's actions in Gaza is not antisemitism. But excusing or allying with actual antisemites because you dislike a critic of Israel - that's a choice history has seen before & it did not turn out well. Read it yourself. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

He was wrong. Fatally wrong for some of those who followed him. Citizenship stripped. His career as a lawyer ended. His group dismantled. Arrested by the Gestapo. Died by himself, estranged from his own daughter for his pro Nazi views. His collaborators fared worse - two died at Theresienstadt

Jewish leaders in Michigan are actively campaigning for Mike Rogers, a member of the party that gave us 'Jews will not replace us.' Even Josh Gottheimer, a Jewish Democrat, won't back Abdul El-Sayed due to his views on Israel. This has happened before. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

1930s Germany. Max Naumann, a decorated Jewish war veteran, led Jews into backing Hitler. He figured shared nationalism and anti-communism outweighed the antisemitism in the room. Just like present day Michigan Jewish leaders appear willing to dismiss the actual antisemitism prevalent in the GOP

I've been thinking a lot about how Lindsey's death frees up Trump to betray Ukraine more than he otherwise would have. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...
A tweet from me, @ing Darline Graham, saying, do you think Lindsey would have let Trump sell out the Ukrainians for an oil deal like this? Will you speak up or condemn it, or will you remain silent in search of power for yourself?

I've linked the NYT story on the Lukoil deal that would be part of a "peace" deal.

Every name, from the filings nobody added up. Also: Georgia’s voters, Jerome Powell, and 30,000 prison workers all beat Trump this week.
