Who are all these grinning white people laughing at Trump's vile racism? h/t to @helenkennedy.bsky.social for pulling together a list. Shame on each & every one of them.

Here’s How Much Eric Trump Is Worth Crypto took the real estate heir’s fortune and supersized it, briefly making the president’s second-oldest son a billionaire in early September.

New: “Eric Trump Has Gotten 10 Times Richer Since Dad’s Election”

@kylekhanmullins.bsky.social for @forbes.com

A good example of how ridiculous gerrymandering is and why it has got to go

It’s one on a list of many pro-democracy reforms that need to be enacted post-2028

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”

They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

Family of victim in Trump drug boat killings files first formal complaint Exclusive: Petition says Colombia citizen Alejandro Carranza Medina was illegally killed in US airstrike on 15 September

Eventually justice will catch up to Pete Hegseth. And others.

This is one of the reasons why the Congress members put out the video the other week quoting the Universal Code of Military Justice that protects the right to disobey unlawful orders

How Trump Has Exploited Pardons and Clemency to Reward Allies and Supporters The president’s second term has brought a flood of clemency for allies and donors — as well as felons, like him, who were convicted of financial wrongdoing.

Those seeking pardons through official channels have watched while Trump grants pardons to people who never entered the system at all.

“If you’re a donor or political supporter, you move to the front of the line,” said a lawyer for one pardon-seeker.

Imagine being so far gone into Trumpism/Republicanism that you would say this to someone who was shot in the head in an act of political violence.

What a bizarre afternoon in politics

You got President Trump showering praise — practically glazing — Zohran Mamdani side by side in the Oval Office after their mtg

And then you have Marjorie Taylor Greene saying she plans to resign from Congress in January

Someone check the tarot cards please

Who would be misled by this clip? Was it a bit sloppy and lazy? Perhaps. But again, we all know what happened on Jan 6. This is part of the gaslighting and rewriting of history of what happened that tragic day

This whole BBC controversy is silly, manufactured outrage.

Clip aired in Oct 2024. Attracted little attention then. Only became a thing a year later after a conservative board member Robbie Gibb flagged the year-old edit.

But we all know what Trump did. We watched it happen live on Jan 6.

as expected, Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package -- with over 75% voting in favor

Let it be known that my proposed hed for this was "Elon Musk’s Trillion-Dollar Pay Plan Makes Perfect Sense If You’re High On Ketamine"

And we’re still waiting for grocery prices to go down

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.

This is awesome 😆🤣 Sounds almost like Lin-Manuel in Hamilton lol. I’m waiting for the Mamdani musical on Broadway!

Tells you all you need to know

“Turn the volume up.”

I should say blue and gold for Brooklyn, my bad

For those wondering what flags are flanking Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, from left to right that’s the U.S. flag followed by the flags of Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island and Brooklyn

(Side note, the colors of of Brooklyn are not black and white, they’re blue and yellow)

NY candidates can appear on a ballot multiple times, no matter what Elon Musk says He may be the world's richest man, but he's definitely from out of town

It should be embarrassing to us all that the richest person in the world who is worth almost half a trillion dollars can’t understand a simple New York State election law

Early vote numbers in NYC paint a picture of an electorate I don’t think anyone could have predicted.

To be clear, $10,000 per day could pay a number of actual journalists to do great work

Actually, by percentage of population, Johnson’s own state of Louisiana is tied for # 2 highest with 18% of the state’s population of residents receiving SNAP assistance

Maybe if people were able to keep their jobs, they wouldn’t be so angry with Bari Weiss

Hurricane Melissa looks like it is beginning to make landfall or will in the next 15 mins about 5-10 miles just west of Black River, near the border of St Elizabeth parish and Westmoreland parish in SW Jamaica. This is the Fonthill Beach area, includes Crawford, Sandy Ground, White House & New Hope

And this is about 7-10 miles down the coast from where Hurricane Melissa is making landfall this hour

Praying for all in its path 🙏🏼🇯🇲
