He literally reported his earnings. He’s made $2.2 billion since taking office. These clowns think we are all idiots.
.@VP: "It's laughable to me, the idea that Donald Trump has somehow been enriched by political office. He nearly had his life destroyed by his quest to become President!"

It is past time for the White House Correspondents Association to act. Boycott the briefings. Do not agree to a press pool when he travels. Deprive him of the oxygen he needs with blanket coverage and abuse of you and your colleagues.
NEW: Evicting reporters from the Brady briefing room is very much on the table still for President Trump, as he and his administration have escalated their aggressive moves against the press. @jonathanvswan me nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/po…

The ADL made a decision to throw in with the Trump when he was reelected. We're no longer arguing about that. The relevant question now is why any Democrats continue to treat them as anything other than an arm of the MAGA movement

That’s great, Mr. Trump. I’d like to report a theft.
A man inside our government illegally spent nearly $22 million in taxpayer dollars on bogus campaign ads praising himself. He now resides on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Taxpayers want to know when they’ll get their money back.
Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "All Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"

Grateful to be endorsed by @aoc! I can’t wait to fight corporate greed alongside her in the halls of Congress. Early voting starts Saturday, October 24th. Election day is November 3rd. Make a plan to vote and bring three friends!

Trump and J.D. Vance are out here pretending to care about "cracking down on fraud" because they're trying to make you forget that Donald Trump has pardoned over 70 individuals convicted of defrauding the American taxpayer of over 1.6 billion dollars

New data shows the average credit card interest rate hit 21.4% in 2025.
Donald Trump promised to cap rates at 10%.
Every day he doesn’t deliver, American borrowers pay an extra $368 million in interest.
Working families continue paying the price for Trump’s broken promises.

If US national security officials are warning that the president is a threat to elections, then that president is an authoritarian, and we are no longer in a democracy.

New Yorkers have waited their entire lives for tonight: when the Knicks championship banner will be raised into the rafters of Madison Square Garden.
What a testament to the incredible 2025-26 Knicks and the city that stood alongside them every step of the way.
LGK.

I have been trying to think of what Trump’s hideous “ballroom” project reminds me of — and I finally have it — it is Nicolai Ceausescu’s infamous and unfinished House of the People in communist Romania, which also brought awfulness to a lovely downtown. It features a huge ballroom with niches for portraits of the dictator and his wife and a sliding roof so that a helicopter can enter and exit. The building also had a nuclear bunker. The aesthetic sense of the two men is much the same but Trump’s construction will probably be even worse.

While Trump supports Putin, “Moscow’s top diplomat pledged support for Tehran’s ‘just cause’”; so Trump is pretty directly supporting Iran.

In his divorce proceedings, @RobertKennedyJr testified he was unable to afford alimony as he was so brain damaged he was incapable of holding down a job.
He is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services, one of the most important roles in the country.

Young people actively hate AI.
My two younger daughters are 19 and 18, both at universities - one in the UK the other in Italy. Through them, I happen to know quite a few kids their age.
And ALL OF THEM seem to universally hate AI.
To them it's "something old people invented that we now have to deal with... as if climate change wasnt enough"
AI is cringe. When they introduce me to their friends, they literally say "heyya, meet my dad, he's a software engineer but nonono, NOT IN AI, dont worry, hahah".
They hate it for flooding their social feeds with slop, ruining music, taking phone scams to the next level, also destroying careers & devaluing their hobbies - why become an architect, this skill is about to become worthless? Why learn a musical instrument if session musicians are already obsolete?
The outcome is interesting, though - they're spending less and less time on public social, meeting up IRL, moving their online lives into private group chats with actual verified friends. TikTok and Reels are increasingly cringe-something for old dudes.
Which, I guess, might be a net positive after all...

Every time it has mattered, House Republicans have picked Donald Trump over the American people.
They rubber-stamped his tariffs.
They voted to continue his war with Iran.
They shielded him from accountability.
@housedemocrats will always put you first.

Gorbachev predicted they wouldn’t have to fire a single shot they would destroy America from within.
That seemed impossible until a weak, amoral and feckless man was installed, with a pension for young girls. They found their perfect mark.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."
