Making golf courses look like environmental preserves turns out to be quite the tax strategy.
It helped Donald Trump shelter more than $1 billion of income and save $450 million, according to Forbes estimates.
These people – MAGA, Republicans, Trumpists – don’t believe in democratic elections. They are fascists: and will throw away the law to keep power and wealth.
STEVE BANNON: The Secretary of State and the President need to come out now, cut off diplomatic relations, and shut down everything with Brazil.
No trade, nothing. This is an illegitimate Marxist globalist government.
If you don’t think this election stealing is coming here, you're dead wrong.
If we don't take action, it’s happening here next Tuesday.

.@StephenM is DESPERATELY trying to preemptively scapegoat someone else in case the GOP loses TX.
Now @TheAtlantic reports that "Big Ass Truck" voters in the Rio Grande are naming Miller by name, and profanely, to explain abandoning Trump.

The president of the U.S. just talked about a female rapper’s posterior and you all are upset I was at a historically Black University’s homecoming on stage dancing and reciting lyrics.
Y’all are clearly scared. I guess this is why. Let’s pink out the polls!

🇮🇱 🇵🇸 Israel has committed the crime against humanity of "extermination" in the West Bank, while continuing to commit "genocide" against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, United Nations-mandated investigators said on Monday ➡️ u.afp.com/SywJ
ALT File photo shows Israeli security forces patrolling the area where the houses of the two Palestinian gunmen who killed two Israeli soldiers and injured three others are located, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank city of Hebron on October 23, 2026.
Like Hitler, Netanyahu just can’t stop killing people even at the end.
Binyamin Netanyahu is gearing up for another series of strikes on Iran in the coming weeks, even if he loses the election. In fact, the prospect of such a loss may be driving his calculations economist.com/middle-east-an…

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating.
Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.
Senior Trump advisor previewing what he and the White House could do when they lose the US midterms. For them it is not a problem when a right wing loser pushes to annul the elections.
🚨@FlavioBolsonaro says he will request annulment of the elections🚨
Full transcript to follow ASAP.
This is the kind of Republican/Maga thinking that threatens our own election: they can’t believe more people voted against their exceedingly corrupt and dictatorial candidate so they insist that there’s fraud.

Bloodthirsty Netanyahu wants to start a new round of killing in case he loses the election and no longer has his finger on the trigger.

Trump allowing Russia to take control of a US LNG project. Why?
Because he does what Putin wants.
Trump-Putin scandal in Alaska.
"Joel Riddle, chief executive of Polar LNG until he resigned in September, said he had been misled...The true source of at least some of Polar LNG’s money was Novatek, a Russian energy giant under partial U.S. sanctions."

🧵Saw most of the new Musk documentary. You should see it. It is frightening. The woman he was seeing at the time of the 2024 elections with whom he had a child suggests that he suggested he may have done something with Starlink in the US 2024 elections, (beyond bribing people).

40K people got to see what we are fighting for today. And what are we fighting for? Access to space on public land. The desire to not see an entire multipurpose space converted to an upscale golf course. Real radical ideas…
Let’s hope the MCM, and everyone else, can continue to use this park.

US: Bird flu has been spreading for around two months on a Utah mink farm holding thousands of animals. None have been culled, workers aren't being monitored, and the USDA says it doesn't regulate mink. So thousands of animals are exposed, workers could be at risk, and nobody seems to be taking responsibility.
