My long time pinned tweet on the old site

Donald Trump is an internet comment section crossed with the last gasps of a white supremacist majority fearful of a changing country

Kenny Loggins says in one statement something more patriotic than Trump ever has

The WH steals people’s property constantly and never asks permission. Another example of Trump acting like a king.

Trump on Hamas: "They did things they shouldn't be doing, and if they keep doing it then we're gonna go in and straighten it out and it'll happen very quickly and pretty violently unfortunately."

I’ve been waiting for many years for a prominent Democrat to relentlessly fact-check their lies in real time rather than issuing press statements days later when it’s too late.

Who's gonna stop him

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 6h

This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

Charlie Kirk infamously tweeted last MLK day about how his staff were all workiñg and Trump posted we have too many holidays in response

It’s such an odd coincidence that so many people in and around the Trump admin have insanely racist things surface.

Harvick says all Border Patrol agents now have a body-worn camera.

CONTEXT: On Oct. 4, when a Border Patrol agent shot a Chicago woman, just one of three Border Patrol agents had a body-worn camera, records show.

It's absolute fucking bullshit that the government isn't tracking this but we owe @nicolefoy.bsky.social a collective thanks for doing the work

Nicole Foy @nicolefoy.bsky.social · 2d

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Normally I'd say who care they'll just mindlessly follow Trump but you have Mark Wayne Mullin calling it out, after JD called these people boys making jokes when the boys were 2 years younger than him

1. I am happy these stories are getting written
2. None of them are the least bit surprising, least of all this one about edgelord too squeamish to use the real word so he uses an italian american substitute instead www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

That's always been a good point when people talk about Bernie in primaries, or people not willing to vote for this or that.

There was a great interview with Sliwa the other day asking him if he felt bad for stealing Cuomo voters and boosting Mamdani and Sliwa was like: Why are you just assuming my voters would go for Cuomo? If Cuomo can’t earn those votes himself that’s not my fault. And he has a point!

New York Post editorial board calls on Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa to drop out to boost independent candidate Andrew Cuomo: nypost.com/2025/10/20/o...

Swallow the bitter pill, Curtis Sliwa — quit the race to stop Zohran Mamdani

It’s time for Curtis Sliwa to face reality, and admit that the city’s best hope to avoid the disaster of a Zohran Mamdani mayoralty is for him to drop out of the race.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

She later said @ the Federalist society, I know there's some of you who don't believe my marriage shouldn't be legal but I want to remind you I believe in lower taxes. Which got lots of laughs

When she still worked @ the NY Times she linked in a column to the social media account of ANTIFA which was a well known hoax

have long suspected that trump thinks the insurrection act is an instant "i win" cheat code that make his opposition go away

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."
