College itself isn’t a scam, but there is something scammy about the astronomical tuition costs & the fact that 18 year olds have to take out loans that they don’t understand

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

The Take it Down Act, which makes threatening to distribute nonconsensual intimate images a federal crime, was passed on May 19 of this year. According to reports, Mills made at least one threat after this date.

“Defense lawyers who have clients caught up in the case have expressed bafflement at what possible crime could have been committed…”

The Dem establishment is going to back Mills over the absolute phenom outsider Platner in Maine, which tells you everything you need to know about how well they understand the current moment & how prepared they are to meet it.

I got 7 texts today to donate to Mills. I was so mad at the end that I texted back to f$$$ off. They are never going to get a cent from me again, all they can do is asking for more money

“Dozens of prominent artists and cultural organizations will participate in a series of artistic demonstrations to protest what authoritarian overreach by the Trump administration.

The protests, known as Fall of Freedom, will take place on the weekend of Nov. 21...”

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Yesterday, California adopted a law to raise the pay received by incarcerated firefighters when they’re fighting a fire from $1 to $7.25 per hour—meeting the federal minimum wage. Four other new laws also give new rights to incarcerated firefighters.

"The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else"

DoD sources tell Zeteo that staff there have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

Trumpism really began with Ray Nagin www.nola.com/news/politic...

Wait one damn minute‼️

I know Lisa Murkowski isn’t up on her high horse talking about the lack of trust between Republicans and Democrats after she cast the deciding “Yes” on the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill and slipped in backroom deals for Alaska.

She’s part of the problem & needs to own it!

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

A judge issued a protective order against a Republican congressman from Florida on Tuesday, forbidding him to contact a former girlfriend who in court proceedings said he had threatened her with revenge porn after she broke up with him.

The consequences of what she did are a year off to write a book (which will be published) and then landing a high prestige job immediately

Portland published shooting data for September today. Overall, shootings are down 39% in 2025 compared to 2024 though still above 2019 levels (but falling closer). Shootings have been down month on month in 16 of the last 19 months in Portland.

This seems notable - on current data, the 90 homicides recorded by the Metropolitan Police in the year to August 2025 is the lowest 12-month total since the monthly data started in 2003. #crimestats

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

JUST IN: Kansas Young Republicans were deactivated after a Politico investigation uncovered racist messages in a group chat among young GOP members.

Chair Alex Dwyer reportedly reacted to “Great. I love Hitler” with a smiley face and heart-reacted to a message about killing political opponents

lol can you *imagine* the kind of stuff in JD Vance group chats. (i mean, yes very easily)

This is giving Blackwater contractors in Fallujah vibes, which is the outcome the administration seems desperate to provoke as a pretext to do what they’re very obviously eager to do.

The fact that they didn’t even feel the need to wait to put a little distance between this and the “every Republican staffer has secret Nazi group chats” story can only mean they’ve concluded that Nazism is a political winner for them
