The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Colorado GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx says he's not a domestic abuser. Marx says his recorded comments about slamming his wife into a door causing her to cry and throwing his toddler across a room have been taken out of context.

“Players can’t be in bed with gambling outfits” should be perfectly and completely obvious to anyone with a shred of sense and integrity, but so should “leagues can’t be in bed with gambling outfits.”

The answer is no. He couldn’t care less about her or her country. He just wants to plunder their natural resources. As we said from day one, despite delusional or dishonest Republicans claiming he was going to “liberate” the people and hold elections.

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.

Related trend: There seems to be an effort on the right (X) to convince people Trump's efforts to get the USPS to play a role in challenging mail-in ballots worked... and accompanying fear being spread on the left (FB/IG) that seems to suggest they're falling for it. Lots of posts like the following
Screenshot of an X post by Q The Storm Rider (@Q_TheStormRider), a verified account, posted at 10:14 AM on Oct 3, 2026. The post reads:

"🚨 BREAKING: THE FLOODGATES JUST SLAMMED SHUT.
USPS just confirmed it — Trump's ironclad mail-in voting rules are LIVE RIGHT NOW and they hit the November 2026 election like a freight train.
No more games. No more delays. An activist judge's last-ditch block? DISSOLVED.
From this second forward:

Ballots ONLY go to verified U.S. citizens 18+ on official DHS + SSA lists.
States that refuse to hand over their voter names, addresses, and unique barcodes? USPS will refuse to even touch their ballots.
This is the wall they said could never be built.
The era of untraceable mail-in chaos just ended.
LFG. 🔥🇺🇸
Share this before they try to bury it."

Fox News complains about fat sex workers, MAGA claims Nixon got framed by the deep state, and Dear Leader spews a lot of stupid shit. thank you for your attention to 'this week in stupid,' my every-Saturday wrap-up of the dumbest fucking idiocy that happened. link is here: bit.ly/4hZzS6C
Folks, it’s a well-known fact that New York City has become an unlivable hell-hole ever since that Islamomarxistfascistcommunoterrorist, Zohran Mamdani, took over as Mayor. But let me tell you — you have no idea just how fucking deep the rot goes.

Let’s listen in as the giggling idiots on Fox’s The Five make their case.

Greg Gutfeld: ‘It’s something that a lot of people aren’t talking about in terms of quality of life issues, and I don’t know if you have photos of what’s going on in that area, but, uh, how overweight the hookers have become. Have you noticed that?’

Jesse Watters: ‘I have.’

Gutfeld: ‘It’s insane.’

I have to confess, I didn’t notice. It’s not really my thing, so I’ll have to defer to the obviously extensive expertise of horndogs like Gutfield and Watters.

Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.
