If the lessons Democrats (& democrats) draw from DOGE is “right idea, wrong implementation,” we are doomed. Everyone involved in the unprecedented crime that was DOGE needs to go to jail forever, & Democrats need to rebuild all of the programs & agencies first, not do digital management consulting 🤦‍♂️

Can someone ask CBS News why Ted Koppel said that "Bannon's technically correct; they didn't have standing" in the 60+ cases Trump and his allies lost in 2020. This is verifiably false and is a GOP talking point. Many/most of the cases Trump lost were on the merits. Do they not fact check at CBS?

Good summary of the keystone cops attempt by far right scam artists to claim Talarico had a mental breakdown. But I wish there was more focus on the person behind this, a groyper street thug from Oregon who is a fan of the Freikorps and whose political ideology lines up 88% with Hitler’s.

In 1919, Germany's defeated soldiers came home only to be stabbed in the back by socialists and communists who wanted to burn the nation down and install a Soviet-style dictatorship.
The Freikorps rose from the disbanded Imperial ranks and smashed that red revolution before it could finish the job.
A century later the same poison is back—now joined by something even more alien.
Far-left radicals still despise their own people and culture, while Islamists answer only to Allah, reject every core of German and Western civilization, refuse to assimilate, and carry out violence in the open name of their religion.
Germany will not be saved by tolerance, dialogue, or more empty promises.
It needs a modern Freikorps-men who put the homeland first and are prepared to stop both the leftist traitors and the Islamist invaders at whatever cost.

As the Trump administration has relentlessly pursued immigrants, federal agents have run roughshod over the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens. We’re showing you every incident we’ve confirmed — along with the receipts: propub.li/3TBuddL
500+ U.S. citizens detained since the start of the second Trump administration. 100+ U.S. citizens held after agents questioned their citizenship. Nearly all of them were people of color. At least 70 American children and teens detained, some of whom were handcuffed. 36 U.S. citizens held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or family.

including those placements for the evening of October 11, 2026;
ORDERED that Defendants shall not enter into, renew, or expand any agreement authorizing the development, creation, dissemination, placement, or airing of the challenged
advertisements; and it is furtherORDERED that the foregoing instructions bind Defendants' officers, agents, employees, contractors, and anyone acting in concert with them. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(2).
ORDERED that Defendants shall immediately provide a copy of this order to LMD,
under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d)(2)(C), and that LMD, as a contractor that is in active concert and participation with Defendants, is enjoined from continuing to run or place the
challenged advertisements; and it is further
ORDERED that Defendants will file a status report within 24 hours of the entry of this temporary restraining order and Section 705 stay, confirming compliance with this Order; and it
is further
ORDERED that this Order shall remain in effect until 14 days from today, subject to an extension of this Court; and it is further
ORDERED that, in the Court's discretion, Plaintiffs shall not be required to post a bond.Case 1:26-cv-08882-JLR Document 41 Filed 10/11/26 Page 4 of 4

Trump: I try and tell myself it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters. If you tell yourself it doesn’t matter—like you do shows, you do this, you do that, and then you have earth quakes in India where 400,000 people get killed. Honestly, it doesn’t matter.

 You try to tell yourself that this interview doesn’t matter either. But of course, it does. It all matters. And you’re locked alone again in realization, staring into the tunnel at the end of the light.
