NEWS: Trump's allies inside and outside the government work to takeover elections, Trump says he decides if he gets the $230 million taxpayer payout from DOJ, ICE hires those charged with robbery, and more.

An urgent morning news update: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

$40 billion and counting to prop up a failed TV troll in Argentina. Governing is harder than it looks, Javier, no?

DOGE we found the waste, fraud and abuse for you 👇

This feels relevant as we consider why the fat guy is pressuring President Zelenskyy to give in to Putin's territorial demands. #Ukraine - graphic from @progressivepolicy.org 1/2

christ almighty what is this guy doing

Insane.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Oh wow

My feelings, exactly.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

No notes

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.

But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

we need to abolish this shit

Lace Embrace was so much fun. #bobbinlace #tatting #crochet #knitting #lacemaking

This strikes me as pretty bad

Call it what it is

“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Easily, his most elaborate and destructive distraction from #TheEPSEIN_Files... yet.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Lace Embrace in Dewey, Oklahoma is coming this Saturday, Oct. 4.
