Marco Rubio sold out people cooperating AGAINST the gang that Trump claims to be trying to defeat in order to gain access to Nayib Bukele's concentration camp.

Yeah, we know they suck. But this is just stunning.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

If there's anyone who can be considered the official sound of Halloween, it's Danny Elfman. Elfman is one of the few composers whose work is as beloved and recognizable as John Williams' and I wanted to share what I consider his 10 best scores!

My new list for @cultureslate.bsky.social is out now!

The GOP is literally allowed to do whatever the hell they want without meaningful consequences and it’s freaking disgusting.

I made an oopsie and forgot that I don't have enough subscribers to live stream on YouTube. Can I get 20 of y'all to sub to my channel in the next 4 hours?

Trump is raking in billions of dollars while raising costs for the rest of us.
Explain how that's fair.
