Extraordinary NYT story:

Trump’s DOJ pressured out another US Attorney in WESTERN Virginia for finding that a grand jury probe his bosses demanded was unwarranted.

They wanted a case discrediting the Russia probe — evidence be damned. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

This is perhaps one of the most dishonest things Politico has ever done

This flag was discovered because the Taylor staffer HAD IT BEHIND HIM ON A ZOOM CALL

It wasn’t planted, it was pinned to this guys cubicle and only discovered because he was dumb enough to turn on his camera during a call

American fascists are, obviously, very scared about how big a protest "No Kings" will be this weekend, as seen by their hysterical, dishonest rhetoric about it.

Let's make their fears come true by showing up on October 18

Trump: "We -- meaning Israel, but I knew everything they were doing, pretty much, I knew most of the things they were doing -- They've killed probably 70,000 of these people--Hamas--and I said it's time now"

I don't have anything funny to say about that, sorry

Now that Trump has doubled his bailout for Argentina to 40 BILLION, every single
American is paying over $100 in taxes to save a FOREIGN president from the economy he created.
Have two kids and a spouse?
Trump cost your family $400 to bail out
Argentina.
Four. HUNDRED. DOLLARS. PER.
FAMILY.

Shortly before 9 pm, Department of Homeland Security agents were seen shoving a protester to the ground while trying to clear the driveway so vehicles could exit the ICE facility. Another was shoved immediately afterward, and shot with pepper balls. Later, tear gas blanketed the block.

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

if you have been to any of the big NO KINGS rallies, you understand what a hilarious mistake it is to tell people to tune in for coverage of scary black clad anarchists tearing everything apart

i have to be honest, gang, i have some questions about this republican strategy of telling everyone to tune in and pay attention to what’s likely to be one of the largest days of political protest in american history directed at the republican party

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"
