It was my honor to emcee the 21st Ridenhour Prizes for courage. The winners inspired all of us with speaking truth to power. CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi courageously spoke about corporate interference & its chilling impact. #journalism www.theguardian.com/media/2026/a...

Whatever this regime touches it destroys, starting with our former democracy. The Supreme Ct & Republican Congress are allowing this sick narcissist to start wars, demolish OUR White House East Wing, enrich himself, family, & friends. Our tax $s run amok. Poof! to 249 years of checks & balances.

Hmmmm. I wonder why tourists are choosing not to visit America??? U.S. Travel Association President and CEO Geoff Freeman said, "We are the only major destination in the world losing visitors. That is a problem we need to solve." How many years will it take to bring visitors back to the USA?

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" attributed to Mahatma Gandhi is a reminder that revenge & retaliatory violence fuels endless cycles of destruction. And here we are. Trump & his war-mongering Hegseth are on a war crimes path. #trump #hegseth #iran

Marjorie Taylor Greene!: “Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.”

This mad authoritarian will go down in history as a vile, cruel, psychopath who terrorized the world and made his bootlicking loyalists quake in their over-sized shoes. #trump

DOJ's press release about Daniel Tocci’s 4-year sentence for possession of "more than 100,000 child sexual abuse images and videos" neglected to mention that he was one of the January 6 rioters Trump pardoned. #trump

Epstein’s accountant testified he may have paid a settlement to a Trump accuser, but contradicts himself on the record 3 times in 3 days. DOJ still sits on 1/2 the documents it’s legally required to release. Operation Epstein Fury is working. The news ignores Epstein while drowning in war with Iran.

Jon Stewart slams Trump's Whim War with #Iran: "How quickly the right has gone from 'peace through strength' to 'peace through war.' And we're all just along for the ride, in a war with no clear purpose, no end in sight. It's all just at the whims of Donald Trump." @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social

“A new F-15 costs U.S. taxpayers $97 million. So that’s almost $300 million lost in seconds. And we should think about what could have been done with that money other than launch a war without a clear plan or an exit strategy.” - @pkrugman.bsky.social

No plan other than distraction from #Epstein files & feeding the military industrial complex. Congress: Remember your oath to the Constitution? Republicans wake up & your job.

Think about Jeff Bezos. Among the richest men on the planet with $245.3 BILLION. As Washington Post owner he torches 1/3 of the reporting staff eviscerating this storied institution. Yes, DEMOCRACY DIES IN DARKNESS & #Bezos just flipped the switch. His stewardship is to kissing up to #Trump. 🔥 #WaPo

Re-read our Declaration of Independence. It reveals many ways Trump thinks he's a king with authoritarian powers. It didn't go well for King George lll. We rise up against tyranny. @sustainabil.bsky.social hhttps://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/5715663-trump-declaration-impeachment-king/

For a livable planet for our kids, oil must stay underground. Our fascist president is corrupt and power-frenzied. As a narcissistic sociopath his #1 goal is money & power for himself. His greedy lapdogs grovel to cash in, too. Working Americans: wake up, power up, VOTE, & look out for each other.

Last night Trump lavishly sucked up to Saudi Prince MBS who murdered a Wash Post journalist. Trump apologized that his gilded ballroom wasn’t ready for #MBS. All while 500 Russian drones & missiles savagely killed Ukrainians. Saudi Arabia is big business for #Trump while Ukrainians are abandoned. 🇺🇦

Trump & his billionaires don't care about throwing 15 million people off their healthcare, and millions more finding their health care premiums double--just to give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the wealthiest 1%. #Vote on Tuesday for fair elections & working families. #TaxTheRich

Roberta Baskin @robertabaskin.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

Trump sent $40 billion to Argentina while Americans lose healthcare, SNAP, + other essentials. He demolished the White House’s East Wing to build a gaudy golden ballroom. Next plan: a Triumphal Arch dedicated to himself. #Trump couldn’t care less about rising energy & food prices. #NoKings #resist

Trump's a chronic liar, promising his golden gaudy ballroom wouldn't "touch" the East Wing of the White House. Then came the wrecking ball to history to host his dancing with the czars. He's an authoritarian tyrant ignoring working people who struggle with rising costs. "Let them eat cake!" in 2025.

Such hypocrisy for #Trump to grant clemency to nearly 1,600 people involved in the Jan. 6 riot. Then throw an authoritarian military power playbook at DC residents to terrorize & intimidate them despite a 30% drop in crime. Whose City is next for military takeover? thehill.com/opinion/nati...
