JD Vance has invested in AcreTrader a company that buys up farmland from bankrupt farmers. He and his wealthy investor friends will benefit from tRump policies that hurt small farmers. They don’t give a damn about anyone’s family farm and they never have.

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him:
...l ran into everybody in NY. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew
-- O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house."

WOW: "Over 4,300 voters turned out today, the largest locality total for a single day in the 2025 General Election. This is nearly double the next largest day in Virginia this election...just shy of the 4,678 PWC voters from last year’s opening Sunday" bluevirginia.us/2025/10/vide...

A powerful visual.

A tweet from Pop Base reads: “A melting ice sculpture of the word ‘Democracy’ was placed in front of the U.S. Capitol.” Two photos show the sculpture before and after melting. In the first, the word “DEMOCRACY” is fully visible in clear ice with the Capitol building in the background. In the second, much of the sculpture has melted, leaving only fragments that spell “D_C_AY,” symbolizing the decay of democracy.

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · Apr 10

In April of 2009 I observed the Tea Party rally in Salem. As this front page story says, there were a couple hundred people there. This past weekend in Salem there were roughly 2-3000 people at the Hands Off rally. Yet the Tea Party coverage seemed to take that event far more seriously.

After Republicans predicted violence all week from Antifa domestic terrorists this weekend, it turns out the most dangerous place to be on Saturday was the location that JD Vance was filming his TikTok.

He was so butthurt by millions protesting his authoritarian regime, he posted an AI clip of him in a fighter jet dumping crap on people exercising their constitutional rights.

It’s the kind of reaction you would expect from a mentally unhinged lunatic or a petulant child.

Not a President.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts

The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms — not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.
