The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

A tweet from Matthew Gertz reads: β€œThe Orbanization of the U.S. media is happening in plain sight, with the president using regulatory power to direct the sales of news outlets to his wealthy allies.” It quotes a post from Charles Gasparino reporting that a Trump administration official said the government favors Paramount Skydance in acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery, with regulatory obstacles planned for rival bidders.

This is how oligarchs wind up helping tyrants and get favors back for it.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

A tweet from the Democrats’ official account includes a chart titled β€œMATH” with a Republican elephant logo. The chart contrasts what Republicans β€œCAN AFFORD” versus what they β€œCAN’T AFFORD.”
Can afford: $40B bailout for Argentina, Trump’s golden ballroom, Qatar jet upgrades, National Guard takeover.
Can’t afford: Health care for Americans, children’s cancer research, SNAP/WIC benefits, and special education programs.

The Epstein Ballroom price keeps rising. It will end up costing $500M or more because Trump will need to siphon at least half of it for himself.

Pam Bondi’s former lobbying firm raked in $25M last quarter as clients tried buying access to Trump.

Trump fundraiser Jeff Miller’s firm came away with $14M β€” nearly 5x what it made last year.

Trump’s cronies know everything is for sale in his White House.

"Drain the swamp."

Laws do not matter to trump. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. He's done to the white house what he plans to do to the country.

Food banks were already struggling to keep with demand. Then, Trump slashed $1 billion from crucial USDA programs supporting them.

Now, thanks to his shutdown, millions of Americans in at least 25 states will lose access to food stamps on November 1st.

The perfect storm of cruelty.

A social media post from the account _stillwerise shares a thread comparing Donald Trump’s reported renovation of the Presidential Emergency Operations Center under the East Wing to the construction of a β€œFΓΌhrerbunker.” The top post, styled as dark humor, speculates that the renovation signals an authoritarian retreat plan, connecting it to U.S. financial dealings with Argentina and Nazi escape myths. A second embedded tweet from verified user Aaron Parnas confirms: β€œNEWS: Trump is upgrading the President’s bunker under the East Wing, per CBS reporting.” The image juxtaposes conspiracy-tinged satire with real political reporting, underscoring growing public fears of power entrenchment and historical repetition.

Trump’s Pay-to-Pardon Scheme
Robert Reich Trump’s Pay-to-Pardon Scheme

Trump has pardoned billionaire crypto mogul and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao β€” who pled guilty to money laundering charges.

This comes after Zhao helped boost the Trump family’s crypto business.

It's just the latest example of Trump's Pay-to-Pardon Scheme.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americansβ€”Americans, not illegalβ€”Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

DOGE fired around 280,253 low-level federal employees making, at best, less than $35k a year, only to have the Republican budget bill mandate hiring 100k ICE agents costing $800k each with bonuses, tactical gear, and other infrastructure.
