It’s crazy how little the GOP has to run on and how historically bad their candidates are and it’s still an uphill battle to take both halves of Congress. If we want to talk rigged….

RFK told a room of Repubs that 500 million Arabs produce no science, no literature, & no prizes. Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel. Ahmed Zewail won the Nobel. Omar Yaghi won 1 too. Algebra is literally an Arabic word. He knew that & still erased the whole history so he could call an entire people useless. Straight-up racist bullshit from the guy running HHS

"Our country is making more money than it’s ever made, because of the fact that oil is so high.”
“I don’t give a damn, I’m going to say it: We’re making a freaking fortune.”
Donald J.Trump, President
October 24, 2026
Fun Fact: Higher oil prices can increase revenue and profits for American oil companies and producers, some investors like Trump, but not the average working American.
2.96 the day Iran was invaded, 4.29 today about 8 months later.

Staged for the MAGA cult people's entertainment.

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage
The trip highlights the remarkable relationship between a son of the US president and a tycoon with a criminal record who has close ties to Vladimir Putin’s personal security service. Intelligence experts say such connections are ripe for manipulation. ft.trib.al/p0LBRYI

Trump: "We didn't start the war with Iran. Iran started the war with us."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The U.S. launched the war on February 28, 2026, with coordinated strikes under the name Operation Epic Fury. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in the opening strikes. Iran retaliated afterward.

The guy who had boxes of classified documents at his golf resort just had the guy who helped him win in 2016 b/c of Hillary's email server charged with, wait for it, mishandling classified information. I think irony has been killed once and for all.

Before publishing a tough book about Trump, Bob Woodward called Bezos to warn him. “Don’t worry, I have your back, Bob,” Bezos said. “I’ll always have your back.” Always turned out not to be as long as it used to be. Takeaways from Woodward's new memoir. nytimes.com/2026/10/26/us/po…

Ooh! I know the name of the guy who mounted a violent coup to steal the 2020 election he had lost.
To whom do I rat him out for the money?

Having failed to convict him yet, Trump prosecutors file criminal charges against Comey for the third time in 13 months, this time for a 10-year-old alleged leak that was already investigated without leading to prosecution. @DevlinBarrett nytimes.com/2026/10/26/us/po…

It should be obvious now that there’s a part of Donald Trump that wants the Republicans to lose the midterm elections next week. Why else would he say what he said at that Georgia rally on Saturday? trib.al/aaGOkX4

More than 130 Americans have reached out to KFF Health News about how healthcare costs are upending their lives. “It’s become an all-of-us issue,” one patient advocate said. @renurayasam

The Trump administration has gutted AHRQ -- a small agency at HHS tasked with overseeing care delivery -- and won't say how it's redirecting grant $$ Congress gave it.
One nugget: Some researchers got letters signed by staffers fired 9 months earlier.

Trump's whole presidency is a disinformation campaign.
Trump: If Abdul and the Democrats win, they will create a nightmare of terror until you cannot even have a Christmas—remember when I started the war on preserving Christmas? We’re saying Christmas again. Remember when the stores were afraid to put up Christmas trees. Now, they are all saying Merry Christmas again.
