Now would be a good time to remind everyone of these Trump facts. 7 Times flew on Epstein's Plane. 97 Times Pleaded The Fifth. 34 Felony Convictions. 91 Criminal Charges. 26 Sexual Assault Allegations. 6 Bankruptcies. 5 Draft Deferments. 4 Indictments. 2 Impeachments. 2 Convicted Companies. 1 Fake University Shut Down. 1 Fake Charity Shut Down. $25 Million Fraud Settlement. $5 Million Sexual Abuse Verdict. $2 Million Fake Charity Abuse Judgment. $93 Million Sexual Abuse Judgements. $400+ Million Fraud Judgment. First President in history to serve a full term increase the deficit every year he was in office. First President in history to maintain a debt to GDP ratio over 100% for his entire term. Highest annual budget deficit. Most added to the national debt in a single term. Most new unemployment claims. Largest single day point drop in the history of the Dow. First major party candidate in half a century to lose the popular vote twice. Longest government shutdown in history (and he did that while his own party controlled both chambers of Congress). First President in the history of approval ratings to maintain a net negative approval rating for his entire term. First President to be impeached twice. First President to have bipartisan support for his conviction after impeachment (which happened both times). Most indictments, guilty pleas, and criminal convictions of members of an administration. First president to have a mugshot. A long list of claims about Donald Trump’s presidency, legal battles, and personal history is going viral and sparking intense reactions.

How the hell did this Administration allow a 28-year-old DOGE operative with zero government experience to take over USAID, fire thousands of federal employees, and shut down lifesaving aid programs around the world?   Not to mention that HR had zero record of him working there, he never completed his background paperwork to legally start working for the agency, and he didn’t even have an ID badge, because, officially, he didn’t exist as an employee.   And yet, all on his own, this man was given the go ahead to lock staff out of their own systems and use your taxpayer dollars to gut lifesaving programs with zero transparency.   The Trump Administration owes the American people and Congress answers. Who signed off on this? Why on earth was he given this kind of power?   This wasn’t an accident. Someone handed this man unchecked power, someone knew he wasn’t legally authorized to use it, and someone decided that there was nothing wrong with that.   Well, everything is wrong with that. Congress needs answers about this, and that is NOT optional. wired.com/story/a-28-year-ol…

There are people who put a lot of effort into their home for Halloween and there is this guy.
Halloween Costume of the Night This dog wins Halloween costume of the night. Nothing can beat this. He doesn't look too happy about it, but I hope he gets a nice bone and plenty of treats when it's all over. What's the best pet costume you've seen tonight?

A vote for @ZachNunn is a vote to abolish the Affordable Care Act, leave tens of millions without any health care, allow health insurance cos to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions again, and refuse to cover college students on parent health plans. Vote @SarahforIowa
Zach Nunn literally said in his own words, “I want the ACA gone” If @NunnForCongress gets his way, protections for people with preexisting conditions — like cancer — are on the chopping block. He’s full of shit. #IA03

Iowa voters - this graphic is from the NON partisan Leage of Women Voters and walks through what Amendment One (on the back of your ballot) does and doesn't allow if passed.

Cruelty is the point: Rachel Maddow is reporting 10 million Americans will be kicked off Medicaid on Jan 1, and 20 million more will be ruined by skyrocketing ACA premiums. The Trump regime's timing is pure barbarism. It was designed to brutalize regular Americans by pulling the rug out from under people the second the midterms ended and all the votes were locked in — with ZERO fucks given to the human suffering it will cause. Forcing working class families to choose between buying food and losing life-saving healthcare isn't just a cynical Republican policy decision, it's a cruel and sadistic betrayal of 30 million Americans.

Vote no on amendment 1!
Gotta do this! VOTE NO on Iowa's proposed Constitutional Amendment. It's typical Oligarch/MAGA! It caps the main tax on corporations while your taxes go up, up, up! DO YOU REALLY WANT THAT??? #IaPolitics @DemocratsIowa facebook.com/share/16HVfMepw…

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.

So we finally have the sworn testimony from a SECOND 13 year old female who alleged to being sexually assaulted by Donald Trump. The sworn testimony by the first victim, who has made her name publicly known now, was in turn corroborated, also under 1/ rawstory.com/todd-blanche-ep…

The man standing next to Donald Trump is Mike Caruso, currently on trial for urinating in his 3 year old grandson's mouth.

This is the only known picture from Epstein’s “wild” dinner with Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Reid Hoffman. Whatever you do, DO NOT SHARE IT! They'd hate that.

BREAKING:🇺🇦🇷🇺 Sorry Trump NO Diesel for you!! Ukraine has just struck the NZNP Rostovsky oil products export terminal in Rostov-on-Don and set it ablaze, hours after the US-Russia diesel deal and Trump lifting sanctions on Russian fuel exports. This is a products export terminal, exactly where the diesel would leave Russia under the deal. Ukrainian military sources said earlier today that the Trump administration's attempt to use Russian diesel to lower US prices before the midterms "will bear no fruit."

Meet Andrew Paul Johnson, he repeatedly raped a 9 year old boy. Of course, Donny Trump pardoned him
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Andrew Paul Johnson was convicted of lewd or lascivious molestation and exhibition involving an 11-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl, not of raping a 9-year-old boy. Trump pardoned him in 2025 for January 6 offenses; he was sentenced to life in 2026 for the child crimes. sao5.org/johnson-senten… whitehouse.gov/presidential-a… snopes.com/fact-check/jan…

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Please read this closely- my opponent WOULD ban cancer treatments, and sounds very much like the political operative he’s been for a decade.
