Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.
Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.
Shame.
Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.
The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.
Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.
If this isn't corruption, what is?
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
The dollar amount has now risen to FORTY Billion.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

…or horrified by the blatant capitulation of mainstream media, law firms, corporations & academic institutions
…or simply fed up with the constant gaslighting, the daily assault on rule of law, the revision of our values & history
This is your fight.
See you at #NoKings this Saturday.

Tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo stating: “The UAE bought $2B of Trump’s crypto — and gets computer chips. Saudi Arabia gave Kushner $2B for a new Trump Tower — and gets weapons. Qatar gives Trump a private jet and a $5.5B real estate deal — and gets US military protection. This is how bribes work.” Below is an image of Donald Trump sitting across from the Emir of Qatar in a formal meeting room. Text overlay: “Quid Pro Presidency.”
The GOP spent years screaming about a manufactured Biden bribe but says nothing about this. Tells you all you need to know.

Oct. 15, 2025 PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION STATEMENT Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution. The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

U.S. Department of Education reverses decision and will fund programs for students who are both deaf and blind.
But the money will flow a different way.

Proof that public outcry can still be helpful, if temporarily. The money was rerouted to the National Center on Deafblindness, who will then distribute to the other programs. But it is only one year's worth, so keep an eye on it.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This is Adelita Grijalva.
She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.
She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.
CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax
This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.
The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A little-known process that requires insurers to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.
External reviews are one of the industry’s best-kept secrets, and only a tiny fraction of those eligible actually use them.

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.
Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.
71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.
OH THE HUMANITY

This represents a major escalation.
President Trump effort to mobilize TEXAS National Guard for deployment in Portland and Chicago.
Court filing just entered in Oregon v. Trump⬇️
A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it.
Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes.
He's now charged with murder.
The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military.
They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.
Again, Kavanaugh justified racial profiling by claiming that this doesn't happen--a justification that becomes more preposterous with each passing day as Trump's goons terrorize more people based on the color of their skin
