So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

My Last Day as an Accomplice of the Republican Party Why I’m leaving the GOP and why I’m urging my former colleagues to do the same.

Wouldn't it be great if ALL of those working behind the scenes to prop up the despotic Trump/GOP takeover of America had a moral moment — and quit enabling them! Long but powerful read.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

The Beacon of Democracy Goes Dark For nearly 250 years, America promoted freedom and equality abroad, even when it failed to live up to those ideals itself. Not anymore.

So sad and frighteningly true. Millions took to the streets for
No Kings demonstrations across the US, while Trump mocks the nation, posting an AI video of him, as a fighter pilot wearing a crown, literally dumping shit on protesters from the air. World loser.

Back in January, as the last ceasefire was being hammered out, Kushner quietly doubled his stake in an Israeli finance firm that bankrolls construction in illegal settlements across occupied Palestinian land.

Jared Kushner just helped cut a deal for the U.S. in the Middle East while simultaneously deepening a $55 billion private investment deal with Saudi Arabia.

That is more than just “questionable.”

It’s one of the most brazen conflicts of interest in memory.👇

Jared Kushner Is Back, and His Imprint Is All Over the Gaza Deal The man who had sworn off any formal role in President Trump’s second term has been at the center of every decision leading up to the breakthrough agreement between Israel and Hamas.

While NYT reports on the triumphant Witkoff/Kushner rally in Israel, WSJ engages in actual journalism by ferreting out how they have used Middle East peacemaking as cover for securing immense sums in private investments from government-connected donors.

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government

One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

How Jared Played Trump to Grease Own Pocket: Wolff Kushner’s business connections and Trump manipulation may have cleared the way for a Gaza peace deal, according to Trump biographer Michael Wolff.

Donald Trump’s (so-far) successful plan to end the conflict in Gaza was orchestrated by Jared Kushner in a bid to make himself richer, according to Trump biographer Michael Wolff.

The Qatari government has given Jared Kushner $5B over the last several years, and given Trump a luxury airliner.

Corruption out in the open.

As Trump celebrates 'peace', the work of his son-in-law on Gaza comes into view Jared Kushner was a familiar face sitting beside Israel’s PM as a first-phase peace agreement was finalised. According to senior US officials, it was because he was a key player in closing the deal.

Kushner is making a lot of money and "brokering peace". Family friend Benjamin Netanyahu stayed in his bedroom when visiting the Kushners when Jared was a kid. Now he's making sure Israel gets a deal. Follow the cash. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

White House blasts Nobel Committee for not awarding Peace Prize to Trump A spokesman says the Nobel Committee placed "politics over peace" in awarding the coveted award to Venezuela's opposition leader.

What a joke. The Nobel peace prize should go to someone committed to world peace - not an unhinged gangster shaking down countries around the world for money and power. These people have no idea what it means to live in a peaceful world. Thank you Nobel prize committee. bbc.com/news/article...

This is NOT an Atty Gen., it is a criminal who engaged in a criminal conspiracy with stop the steal. She should be disbarred and serving prison time. Instead she is the first felons’ flunky. She has nothing but contempt for the rule of law and democracy. Extremely concerning. #WeThePeople

What total bs that these two should get off after their horrific illegal behavior - would say this Alberta style rhetoric leans closer to treason than mischief. Disgusting.

Editorial: A sun-soaked Sunday in downtown Chicago, marred by a Trumpian show of force Dozens of heavily armed immigration agents descend on downtown Chicago on a gorgeous early fall Sunday. What’s wrong with this picture?

From the Editorial Board:

A beautiful early fall weekend in downtown Chicago. Sun-splashed lakefront. Families enjoying the museums and city sights. Packs of men in military fatigues carrying high-powered long guns.

Which of those images doesn’t belong?

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.
