Historian here:
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

BREAKING: House Judiciary Democrats just released a 50-page report alleging Trump was an “active participant” in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s.
The report, titled “The Case Against Donald Trump Emerging in the Epstein Files and DOJ’s Desperate Efforts to Cover It Up,” cites five women who accused Trump of rape or sexual assault in Epstein’s company and calls for an independent special counsel to investigate the president, co-conspirators, and what Democrats describe as the Justice Department’s cover-up under AG Todd Blanche.

Attracting talented people from India has been a huge American advantage. Turning them into targets of racial resentment is a sure way to squander it. A serious agenda for American competitiveness should recognize that.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Just 16% of voters 18-29 approve of Trump's handling of his job and 70% now identify with Democrats, up 15 points from two years ago, per @nytimes @SienaResearch poll. @clairecm nytimes.com/2026/10/22/upsho…

This is the best article of why Lula was able to turn it around.
Populist FDR style “New Deal” policies in the country, the people of Brazil appreciate. This is the antidote to the right wing populism, oligarch/fascist fkry, consolidation of wealth and power, and use of hatred scapegoating the politically weak and marginalized people. This is to fascism what garlic is to vampires. FDR knew it and used it to beat back the rise of the Fascist NAZI movement in the USA in the 30s. It’s time for a New, New Deal.

Today, 62 former U.S. ambassadors and national security leaders endorsed my campaign for U.S. Senate.
Their service spans five decades under Democratic and Republican presidents. Many were confirmed by Senator Collins herself.
Their letter calls out her five votes to let Trump continue the war with Iran and her votes to confirm the officials carrying out his tariff agenda—decisions that are driving up costs for Maine families.
I’m honored to have their support. Mainers deserve a senator who will stand up for them.

Why has Trump been pleasing Putin so much lately? Trump is in office to solve Putin’s problems, and Putin has a lot of problems right now. Pay close attention to what happens over the next few weeks.

Obama delivers a stinging rebuke to Trump, and an implicit chiding of centrist Dems who fear the populist left. thenation.com/article/politi…

Trump has exempted 202 facilities in 39 states and Puerto Rico from clean-air regulations that were going into effect, including some of the worst industrial polluters. About 3.3 million people live near such a facility. @EricLiptonNYT @maxinejoselow nytimes.com/2026/10/24/clima…

Yesterday Trump repeatedly called Abdul El-Sayed a "jihadist", told Nicki Minaj she had a "beautiful ass" and asked her to stand up so the crowd could admire it, and yet the dumbest people on Twitter are still pretending to be offended by a mention of the Cheesecake Factory.

Norway is one of the most democratic and prosperous countries on Earth.
Free health care
Free college
Strong democracy
Free press
Trump says “Norway sucks” and is a “shithouse country” because it won’t give him the Nobel Prize.
Insane. We have a mentally unbalanced president.

NEWS --> Dems planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me many aggressive tactics will be deployed.

I've been trying to tell conservative Indian Americans for the last decade -- at the end of the day we are all brown in the eyes of the racists.

I'm proud to lead 256 bipartisan cosponsors in a resolution to designate July as Indian American Heritage Month.
Generations of Indian Americans have helped build and strengthen our country. It's time we honor their contributions and celebrate their enduring legacy.

I had missed this moment, but apparently this was the moment went the tide turned. Flavio denigrated Lula having nine fingers and he delivered this retort
