"Flooding the zone" with this stuff might be in order.
Post from Mark R Elias 

"I think I'm getting the hang of this."

Mark's question to America.gov

Does the president have the authority over the conduct of federal elections,?

Answer:
The Constitution does not give the president the power to run or set the rules for federal elections. States have the main job if administering them. Congress can change most of those rules by statue. The president's role is to enforce existing federal law, not to replace state or congressional election rules.

Black text on a white that says the following:

The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.

I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come. 

Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.

PSA: The Trump administration changed the form used to register and request absentee ballots, removing the checkbox for US citizens who have never lived in the US(even though some are eligible to vote under state law). The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.

Trump admin quietly changed overseas voter form at 11th hour to disenfranchise Democrats, lawsuit says
The change is part of a Republican plan to make it more difficult to vote or outright disenfranchise a bloc of voters viewed as more inclined to vote Democratic, the DNC lawsuit argues.

Jack Smith's new document drop shows that the Trump campaign paid for travel, hotels, expenses and organizing efforts to bring outside radical protest groups to the Capitol on Jan 6th. They also wanted to hang the Vice President. All involved are criminals.

This is not as simple as pure stupidity. The Trump family has extensive and growing financial interests in the AI industry, ranging from corporate stock portfolios to data centres and private equity investments. It is self interest.

A drawing of a television game show set with three walls behind the host and three contestants behind their respective podiums. One wall is comprised of question squares, another reads: “Facts Don’t Matter”, and the last is blank. The host addresses one of the contestants:

Screenshot of a September 28, 2026, post on ex-Twitter by right-wing foreign policy analyst, professor, author and former Trump Department of Defense senior policy adviser Matthew Koenig, showing the lobby of the US State Department adorned with 200 American flags:

“The US State Department lobby used to display the flags of the roughly 200 countries with which the US maintains diplomatic relations. Now, it displays 200 American flags, to remind State Department employees who they work for.”

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

Don't lump all billionaires with bad ones. Think of those who own companies providing worthwhile employment, on good salaries, with good health & pension benefits. Who invest in the companies so they can employ more people. Who invest in research that helps people & the planet. Who give to charity.
