When Donald Trump tells you the economy is doing well, he means it's doing well for people like Elon Musk.

Sure sounds like Trump is trying to make the White House into a fortress for when he refuses to leave office.

I would like Democrats to come out and say that anyone receiving assets from this new slush fund, or profiting any of the other corrupt acts from this candidate, will have 100% of their assets seized the first chance we get. Even if they get pardoned.

McGovern: I think Trump is seriously ill. He needs medical attention. There needs to be an intervention from his family or someone in his cabinet—I would say some of the Republicans here, but they don’t have the balls to confront him on anything.

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich. We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

Hey this is not a moment to stay silent. Oct 18th - No Kings Day - is our chance to show we won't accept the militarization of our citizens, the brazen corruption of the Trump family, and the destruction of our health care. Find your local protest at nokings.org.

Jack Bryan on Threads talks about how Frank Sinatra saved Don Rickles's life. Rickles said, "Some goons were beating me up. Frank comes over and says, 'Okay, guys, that's enough.'" Bryan says--with some truth--that he remembered that anecdote when Trump hogged the credit for ending the war in Gaza.

We are witnessing a clumsy, dumb authoritarian regime try to consolidate power. They only have a chance because the corporate and media elites are ok with it, which has abetted mass ignorance of what’s happening. The pathetic weakness of the opposition party leadership helps, too.
