Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Who could have foreseen after everything that went down Nov 2020-Jan 2021 that if we put this guy back in power we would never have another normal election while he was president? Voters in Nov 2024 took a blowtorch to American democracy.

If Democrats have to answer for their most fringe members then Republicans should have to answer for theirs. The most out-there Democrat is 1/50th as psychotic and harmful as the most out-there Republican.

Letting the market lead: How cost-effective renewables can save consumers money Solar energy systems, especially when paired with battery storage, can produce low-cost power during peak hours, when electricity is most expensive on the wholesale market. Batteries can then store…

"Appalachian Power... is proposing more than a 20% reduction in electricity costs... The reason... is a combination of lower fuel costs and greater adoption of renewable energy". Clean energy = cheap energy, because if you don't burn fuel, you don't pay for fuel. cardinalnews.org/2025/11/03/l...

On Kremlin State TV, they threatened to kill 75% of the American population.

Carlos Jimenez, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen, was on his way to work at a food bank when he was shot by ICE officers in what a DHS spokesperson calls “defensive shots.” On Thursday morning at approximately 6:30 a.m., ICE officers were at Vineyard Avenue in Ontario when Jimenez, who was not in the target vehicle, attempted to pull in front of the officers. According to Javier Hernandez, executive director of the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, Jimenez was trying to assist and provide aid to the person who was being stopped by ICE officers. After Jimenez was shot in the shoulder, the LA Times and LA Taco reported that he drove to his brother’s house so he could take him to the hospital.

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."

So, it sounds like Kash Patel is sharing classified information with his girlfriend? And the took $5 million in stock from China?

More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

ICE has beaten, detained & arrested 170 citizens, at least 3 of whom were pregnant

George Retes is a US veteran who was held in solitary for 3 days

Kristi Noem says it’s not happening, but @motherjones.com has done the reporting

If they treat citizens this way, imagine what they do to immigrants

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

Keystone Kash needed a distraction from the story that he took another private govt jet to watch his girlfriend sing. apnews.com/article/detr...

• Pardoned the "Camp Auschwitz" guy.
• Dined with Holocaust deniers.
• Said Jews who vote Democrat "hate their religion."
• Silent when young Republicans "love Hitler."
• Silent when Heritage backs Carlson/Fuentes.

It's not a coincidence. It's a culture.

CIA chief quietly meets EU officials to soothe US intel-sharing fears Trump administration’s volatile foreign policy has shaken Europe’s confidence in Washington’s intelligence cooperation.

I’m sure they’ll be impressed (not). They will smile and offer supportive words but still hold back their most sensitive intelligence. Any professional service realizes they can’t trust this unprofessional Administration.

BREAKING: U.S. poised to strike military targets in Venezuela, according to Miami Herald.

We know this works because we have lots of research proving that there's no link between vaccines and autism and it's not like anyone is out there saying that anymore.

These are movements primarily seeking higher-quality research methodologies so once we improve the methodologies they'll go away!

Conspiracy theorists are ignoring a vast body of literature proving them wrong but if just do one more study they won't ignore it.

To understand why the US does nothing to stop the UAE funded massacres now going on in Sudan, all you have to do is examine the flow of billions from Gulf Arabs, prominently the UAE, straight into the coffers of the Trump Organization. passblue.com/2025/10/31/h...

wait but Speaker Johnson said there was no contingency fund? 🤷🏼

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

A retired policeman posted a Charlie Kirk meme. He spent a month in jail. The 61-year-old Tennessee man plans to sue after authorities dropped charges over a political Facebook post. Free-speech advocates say it’s a symptom of a wider crackdown.

It's insane that this even needs to be said.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”
