Jessica Valenti: "Up until a few months ago, the new White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia was on the advisory board of an organization that calls for women who have abortions to be executed in the public square, and for pro-choice Americans to lose their right to hold public office." #extremism#TrumpHiresTheWorstPeople#politics copy: @renewedresistance#AbortionRights
The next governor of Ohio will be Republican Vivek Ramaswamy or Democrat Amy Acton. Ramaswamy,'s "ignorance and arrogance would make him a governor whose extremist beliefs wreck the state. Ramaswamy’s inability to understand state government is appalling. He is oblivious to evidence his tax policies would destroy local governments and public-school systems. We should be petrified at the mere thought of a Trump bootlicker running this state": https://www.cleveland.com/opinion/2026/10/the-serious-dangers-in-a-gov-vivek-ramaswamy-brent-larkin.html copy: @renewedresistance
John Jackson: "This is amazing stuff about how much the online MAGA movement originates from Russian bot farms. We all sensed it. Now we have cause and effect."
#GoodNews. According to Jaroslaw Wolski: after Ukraine's drones attacked the Yandex bot farm in Russia, "support for AfD in social media has dropped by 56%. Fewer Russian accounts pretending to be Polish accounts incited against Ukrainians, fewer Russian accounts pretending to be Ukrainian ones incited against Poles, and support for MAGA online has sharply fallen." copy: @renewedresistance#politics
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick: "We will be introducing bipartisan legislation to block any and all purchases of Russian oil. It will be called the 'Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act.' It will be forced to the Floor via discharge and it will pass overwhelmingly." #Ukraine This picture is from Evan Kirstel:
Richard Haass: "Russian drones and missiles are being used against Ukraine’s civilians. Putin’s goal is to break the will of the Ukrainian people and to end the country’s independence. All of which makes it unconscionable that the Trump administration refuses to allow Ukraine to use Starlink to target missile and drone production and storage facilities deep inside Russia. Instead, the administration blames Ukraine (rather than its own misguided war against Iran) for the high price of diesel."
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth "leads, the single largest organization in the United States, and he is focused on these very small-ball issues that we actually pay sergeants and sergeants major to do on his behalf. He is harming military leadership by purging those innovators who currently exist and replacing them with sycophants. Most of Secretary Hegseth’s stuff or ideas are bad ideas — counterproductive and potentially damaging in the long term": https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/07/opinion/pete-hegseth-pentagon-iran-war.html#WorstCabinetEver
Axios reports this way that Trump's #IranWar affects America children: "Cherry Creek Public Schools, in the Denver metro area, budgeted $1.5 million for fuel this year. It now expects to spend roughly $2 million–$2.3 million." Now multiply this by all of the other schools in the United States. #TrumpMakesEverythingWorse#OperationEpicFailure#quagmire
JoJoFromJerz wrote about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: "He’s replacing people who know what they’re doing with people who know whose ass to kiss, and HE has the nerve to lecture ANYBODY about DEI? Pete, you failed upward from a Fox weekend couch into a job where mistakes come home in flag-draped coffins. So spare us the pull-up sermon, you chin-up-cheating, camera-courting corporal of counterfeit courage." #NationalSecurity#military#SpeakingTruthToPower copy: @renewedresistance#politics
Paul Rudnick: "Pete Hegseth has appointed Elon Musk and Newt Gingrich to a task force on the future of warfare. These three men have been married a total of nine times, while often trying to avoid paying child support, so they understand war." #villains
Natalie Harp is often helpful to Donald Trump and she is always needy. Viewers of The Jimmy Kimmel Show had a chance to laugh at Natalie Harp because Kimmel had someone who looked like and acted like Natalie treat him as many of us imagine Natalie Harp treats Trump. This was #Comedy Gold. #television
