Also: the TV ads Trump billed taxpayers for, set to a song called “Love Me,” Newsom’s birthday present for Fox News, and where Trump’s sons are really making their money.
Protecting 45 million acres of public lands from being handed over to commercial clearcutting is vital, Mary. Thank you for making your voice heard on the forests!
I also sent letters to my Democratic Senators and Congressman. The latter sent an email indicating he’s working to preserve the lands. Perhaps when they become the majority the insanity will stop.
Some days I wonder if this is effective in Texas BUT James Taralico will be replacing Cornyn 11/3/26 & then I will enjoy sending letters again. I do have a wonderful Representative in Greg Casar. Secretary: I had to change my cell phone number recently & I still use my old number bc only Republicans ask for our phone #!
Those quotes from Solzhenitsyn and Seneca cut right to the core, Al. Cruelty disguised as strength is always rooted in weakness and fear. Voting them out is how we restore real leadership!
The entire corrupt maga regime is composed of pathological serial liars. Power does not so much corrupt as it reveals. They have been corrupt all their despicable lives.
These are the reincarnations of the most vicious bloodletters of history, having ripped off the power to destroy all life... which, no doubt, they will execute if allowed to rampage unchecked on their present course. How is it that they have the guns, and us 300 million citizens have targets on our backs? Surely, a majority of us opened the door to them, or did nothing.
“Sarah Longwell of The Bulwark, who conducts focus groups with voters, says Trump’s campaign ads boosting himself have backfired: people hate them. They object to using taxpayer money for them by a margin of 86 to 9. Furthermore, Longwell finds that Trump 2024 voters in Florida whom Trump needs to energize for this election, really hate them—the word Longwell used is “revulsion.” One said: “We need to get rid of all these people. Even if the Republicans don’t win for the next ten years, it’s probably best to wash these people out, you know, so you can get cleaned—clean slate.”
That quote from Sarah Longwell's focus groups is incredible, Kathy. When even former supporters feel revulsion at seeing their tax dollars wasted on self-serving campaign commercials, the political ground is shifting under their feet. And having Bernie out on the trail campaigning for Angie Nixon in Florida brings enormous grassroots energy!
Wonderful. We donated to Angie Nixon directly as well as Abdul, Talarico, Turek, Acton and many others. We will be on the streets Oct. 17th to promote Early Voting. We are voting on October 22nd in Delaware. 🇺🇸💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Jill, your broad financial support for candidates across Florida, Michigan, Texas, Iowa, and Ohio is amazing! October 17th early voting rallies are going to be electric, and getting your votes cast on October 22nd in Delaware locks in real power.
Thank you, Bernie! I voted for Angie in the primary and again in the general. And I took my mail in ballot directly to our county supervisor of elections office. Got the email from BallotTrax that it had been received and will be counted. 🙏🤞
Banking your vote early for Angie Nixon and getting that confirmation from BallotTrax gives complete peace of mind, Suzanne. Great job hand-delivering your ballot!
If Angie Nixon wins in Florida that would truly show how hated that assbag is!
Our family used to vacation in Florida and Trump signs lined the streets down there. Florida mostly holds a ridiculous amount of ignorant RepubLIEkins in their population.
Go Nixon
Go Jolly
…and EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE WITH A (D) behind their name in that state ‼️
Flipping seats with champions like Angie Nixon and David Jolly would completely shatter the myth that Florida is out of reach, EaB. A straight blue ticket is how we turn the tide!
Refusing to consume bad-faith media and expecting honesty from serial fabricators is the right mindset, Pat. Facts and evidence always outlast the noise.
Exactly. When hyperbolic distortion is the foundation on which news is reported, it becomes fiction, and Fractured Fairy Tales would be apropos if Jay Ward had not
already put that title to use. Still Boris Badenov and Natasha might be good cartoon foils
for an animated rebuttal of this 'badministraion.'
Thanks as always, Scott and Sam. I believe it was the alt news and the families that brought the ship home. What an amazing thing. The people still have a voice.
Independent reporting and the relentless advocacy of military families broke through the administration's stonewalling, Claire. It is living proof that organized voices still have power!
On the brink of cancelling the Constitution and Bill of Rights via awkward and destructive reinterpretation via the “originalist” BS device. Help ourselves! Vote aggressively!
Using bad-faith legal doctrines to gut foundational civil rights and the Bill of Rights is a constitutional crisis, Chad. Voting aggressively to seat lawmakers who will confirm ethical judges is our best defense!
Great post.. I giggled a bit even laughed until I got to the USS Lincoln portion.. my heart breaks for them and their families even with them being home.. and the POS pitiful pull up Pete rambling on and on. I know people who are in the medical side at Balboa.. they’re waiting for an influx and ready to help these sailors and families..
thanks for your honest and forthcoming writings..
Vote early or in Nov 3.. everybody. We have got to STOP this in its tracks..for all of us.
Dianne, thank you for sharing that dispatch from the medical teams at Balboa. Providing immediate, compassionate medical and psychiatric care to those returning sailors and their families must be a national priority. Reckless leadership carries real human trauma, and voting them out on November 3rd is our duty to those who serve.
These teams are amazing and will do whatever it takes to take care of them and theirs. I’d imagine they’ve been gearing up since they received word the Lincoln was enroute home..
Thanks again for keeping us in the loop.. have a great Sunday!
Thank you, Scott! I appreciate your work. The one thing I want to say today is that you always show us how these idiots get caught out in their lies and judges hold them accountable; however, why do they never have to face the consequences for their lying and criminality? More than anything I have learned these past two years is their corruption is out in the open, in your face and NOTHING is being done about it!! I have watched laws being broken, the Constitution being ignored/destroyed, military in our streets murdering civilians and every single day everyone acts as though it is "just another day"! He involved us in a war that we had no say-so about. He murdered fishermen in International Waters, and the rest of the world thinks that Americans are okay with that! Now, they are going to livestream an execution of a man? Yes, he is guilty of murder, but openly executing him in front of young, malleable children? What message is that sending? I will never understand any of it, and I know that if we do not stop this lunatic in November, we simply will never have a country I recognize anymore.
Peggy, your frustration with the slow pace of accountability is completely justified. When executive overreach is met with delayed judicial orders and ignored subpoenas, it feels like the rule of law has stalled. But remember: the administration relies on public apathy to make this feel normal. Flipping Congress strips away their funding, restores subpoena enforcement, and stops the reckless escalation of unconstitutional military actions and barbaric spectacles. We cannot let them normalize this!
I’d ask the Trump family including Kushner about their deals and investments with Russia and Belarus because I’m still queasy about their meetings with Putin’s team and wondering how they were getting around the sanctions.
The financial dealings with foreign entities and maneuvering around federal sanctions demand full congressional subpoenas, Linda. The public deserves to know what was traded away behind closed doors!
In the REPUBLICAN SCANDAL list I posted, it lists tRump with a notation that his crimes are too numerous to list.
CRAIG UNGER wrote about tRump/PUTIN long ago - just praise a narcissist and they're in love, besides the RUSSIANS bailed him out of bankruptcy and paid more for his properties than they were worth. tRump has always been an AGENT. PUTIN doesn't even have to use EPSTEIN's videos that he has. Because MAXWELL had a media empire, he was connected to intelligence organizations before meeting with a 'sudden death.' Is that the business plan GHISLAINE MAXWELL contributed?
GHOULiani earned a reputation prosecuting the "MAFIA," ignored RUSSIAN ORGANIZED CRIME?
EPSTEIN was an uneducated conman who studied the RICH and ingratiated himself.
I believe that there are aggressive DEMOCRATS who are going to uncover things we can't imagine. Robert Garcia is like a PIT BULL!
Refusing to release EPSTEIN details for other nations to prosecute is revealing. Obstructing investigations, such as ZORRO RANCH?
Prison Guards were paid for the night EPSTEIN died - never pursued.
Truck loads of documents were transported to the prison and destroyed after EPSTEIN's death - by whom? What else have they deleted?
Bringing the TATE BROTHERS to the U.S. has me curious, brought by GRENELL?
NUTLICK (sic) LIED and should be gone.
PERSKE wrote the casino regs as a legislator, then as CHAIR of the commission, allowed both tRump and MERV GRIFFIN to have casino licenses?
David Cay Johnston wrote 2 well-researched books about tRump's casinos - they used to send limos to pick up underaged kids after school and take them to the casinos, among numerous other things.
Corruption LLC is indeed a family business. I have a friend (Neal) here who was a compliance officer in a Manhattan investment firm. The father Trump and DRJ were clients. The doorman would call Neal when DRJ entered the building giving him time to lock his office door. Parental training is powerful.
Good morning. Grab your coffee and send a few letters to Congress before the regime wakes up:
Impeach Pete Hegseth: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-impeach-pete-hegseth/
Release all of the Epstein files now: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-demand-acting-ag-blanche-release-all-of-the-epstein-files-now/
Ban Flock’s mass surveillance cameras: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-ban-flock-mass-surveillance-cameras/
Stop Trump from destroying 45 million acres of our national forests: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-stop-trump-from-destroying-45-million-acres-of-our-national-forests/
Each one takes a minute and lands straight in your members’ inboxes. Tell me below which ones you sent.

About those ads….from HCR yesterday.

Who else thinks we’re going to win big?
The momentum is building every single day, Sam. High turnout wins elections—let's bring home that victory!
🌊🤞🏼💙
Riding that wave all the way through November 3rd, Claire!
... and shove it up their a**?
Perfect response. Thanks for the laugh.
I think it will be mind boggling. Wonder how FOX will spin this disaster they created.

So true Scott…and hopefully it happens
Newsom sent a birthday gift to Fox News on his own birthday!👍💙🙏👏👏👏
Taking the fight directly to them on their own turf is how you control the narrative, Stephen!
Do you criminals want separate jail cells or remain together as one happy family in Guantanamo Bay?
Accountability under the law must be the standard for everyone who betrayed the public trust, Coach Merli!
😂
They deserve to be together for years and years, far away from us.
Twenty-three days. I’m so thankful and proud of every person who keeps showing up. We can finish this.
Twenty-three days, Ms. Jonington! The perseverance of this community is everything. We are going to see this through to the finish line together!
I am not a pretentious person … Fox is beneath me and I would not waste my time reading the lies.
No matter what you ask the trumps be ready for lies.

Well said, Peggy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 we need to continue spreading the word. Everyone who can should vote 💙🗳️💙🗳️💙
Spot on! Spreading verified facts and getting every single voter to the polls is our most potent weapon.
You're right, AmericanHistoryGeek! We cannot let up! We must continue to encourage everyone we can to get out there and vote!! VOTE BLUE!!!
Keeping that fire lit and lifting each other up across these final twenty-three days is how we win, Peggy!

Please let this nightmare gem over soon….
We hear you, Sharon. The relief begins when we turn out in historic numbers and take back Congress on November 3rd. Hang in there!
I have never read nor listened to anything Fox. Because DRJ is a monster, it's not likely his sons would be any different.
The corruption is a family business, Jane. Tuning out their propaganda and focusing on accountability is the only way forward.
Corruption LLC is indeed a family business. I have a friend (Neal) here who was a compliance officer in a Manhattan investment firm. The father Trump and DRJ were clients. The doorman would call Neal when DRJ entered the building giving him time to lock his office door. Parental training is powerful.
