Trump just called on making Venezuela the 51st State, giving U.S. citizenship to 28.7 million Venezuelans, including the ones in mental institutions and prisons. Is this what you voted for MAGA?

Suddenly it’s now OK to give U.S. citizenship to 28 million Venezuelans including the criminals, rapists, murderers and pedophiles.

Trump is pressuring Ukraine to concede to Putin, a known adversary aligned with China, Iran and North Korea against American interests. We must not help Putin divide us from our allies. A stronger Ukraine and united NATO are vital to America’s security and economic interests. wsj.com/opinion/coddling-put…

BREAKING: MAGA hack Scott Jennings gets hit with a massive $72.5 million lawsuit for defaming progressive streamer Hasan Piker. And it's an absolute slam dunk of a case... Piker, who has become the Republican Party's favored boogeyman this election cycle, is suing Jennings for falsely claiming that Piker called for lynching Black Americans. Jennings ran an edited video, stripped of context, to make it appear that Piker had done such a thing. “Mr. Jennings did not merely mischaracterize something Mr. Piker said. He took a false, fabricated, and manipulated video of Mr. Piker, added a made-up quotation that Mr. Piker never uttered, and then made accusations that went beyond even what the manipulated footage purported to show," states Piker's 38-page suit. There is no wiggle room for Jennings here. He blatantly lied about what Piker said in an effort to paint him as a murderous lunatic. Jennings claimed that Piker was “calling for Black voters to be lynched” and spoke about a "Piker plan of returning our country to lynchings.” In reality, Piker was making the opposite point, but the footage was edited to misrepresent the remarks. Jennings also added a false quotation, subtitles, and commentary to hammer home the lies. Originally, the footage showed Piker stating on his Twitch stream that a conservative commentator wanted to return to the lynching era, not that he himself desired such a thing. “He said, ‘We need more Klansmen, okay? Can we go back to a better time when lynchings were happening?’” said Piker. The creator of the video that Jennings shared removed the "he said" part as well as laughter to falsely present the snippet as an articulation of Piker's genuine beliefs. Jennings spread his smear via X and so far his post has 2.5 million views, meaning that he has inflicted incalculable damage to Piker's reputation and his possible future earnings. We hope that Piker gets every last penny of that $72.5 million! Please ❤️ and share if you support the lawsuit!

Dolores Huerta was a hero of mine. When she co-founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962, people thought Dolores was crazy. “How are you going to organize farm workers,” she remembered being asked. "They are poor, powerless immigrants.” But that’s exactly what she did, helping thousands of migrant laborers working in brutal conditions make their voices heard, and demand something better. Dolores spent the rest of her life fighting for marginalized communities, even as she herself faced sexism and abuse — including, as she revealed earlier this year, from Cesar Chavez and others within her own movement. She also came up with a pretty good slogan, “Si, se puede” — Yes, we can — that I too often get credit for. But as usual, Dolores got there first. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolores’s family, the people whose lives she changed, and everyone who drew inspiration from her example. Photo credit: National Archives, Obama Presidential Library

“When will the war in Iran end? Whenever I want it to end." So much for the legal fiction that it isn’t a war. U.S. law and the Constitution prohibit the Executive branch from fighting a war that isn’t declared or authorized by Congress.

As Americans worry about affording groceries, this is what Trump tells Texans: “You could even come to Mar-a-Lago… The problem is that for $5,000, the most you’ll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I’m not even sure you could buy that.” VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

The relentless racism oozing out of Trump and his cult is something I never thought I’d see in the United States of America. It’s devastating beyond words. As the proud daughter of Iranian immigrants, this country welcomed my parents and offered freedom and opportunity we never could have otherwise imagined. That’s why to this day, my dad is the most patriotic American I know. He loves this country so much. I hope we all keep fighting for an America where that dream is still possible for the next generation. It starts by defeating this grotesque cult once and for all.

Trump: We brought inflation way down. We have it way down now. When the war ends, it will come way down. It can be over whenever I want it to be over. Someone asked me, 'when will the war in Iran end?' I said, whenever I want it to end

🚨Out of the 11 women who tie Donald Trump to Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, 5 of them—Beatrice Keul, Stacey Williams, Jill Harth, Katie Johnson, and a Jane Doe—have directly accused Trump of raping or sexually assaulting them in Epstein’s company or direct physical presence: • Beatrice Keul credibly alleges that Trump violently raped her at a November 1993 pageant at the Plaza Hotel in New York City and that Epstein, Trump, and others used this pageant as a “hunting ground” to prey on vulnerable young women and girls; • Stacey Williams, who offered a detailed and corroborated account of Trump sexually assaulting her in the early 1990s while she was alone with him and Epstein in an office at Trump Tower; • Jill Harth, who has also publicly detailed Trump aggressively pursuing and violently sexually assaulting her and another woman in 1994 at a Mar-a-Lago party where Epstein and Trump were the only men present; • Katie Johnson, who gave FBI a detailed account of her repeated rape at the hands of Trump and Epstein in 1994 in New York City when she was a minor; • A Jane Doe, who offered FBI a graphic account of Trump assaulting her when she was a minor in the mid-1980s in New York by forcibly pushing her head down to his exposed penis. ⛔️Beyond these direct allegations of physical assault, three survivors speak of encounters with Trump whose circumstances indicate that he was a participant in Epstein’s crimes, as shown by how Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, tried to make (or made) these women available for sex. •Two Epstein survivors, “Jane” and “Kate”, told FBI that either Epstein or Maxwell seemingly offered them up to Trump for the purposes of sex or indicated their availability. ⛔️Jane and Kate were deemed so credible that federal prosecutors called them to testify as government witnesses, subject to probing cross- examination, against Ghislaine Maxwell at her criminal trial. • Another survivor, Maria Farmer, described how Epstein had to actively prevent Trump from preying on her late at night after Trump confused her with a teenage girl potentially victimized by Epstein.‼️

Wow! U.S. Senator @ElissaSlotkin just said that Trump "wants Putin to win" the war with Ukraine this winter: "I think this president in the past two weeks has laid bare that he's had this longstanding bromance with Putin. I think in the last two weeks it's become very clear he wants Putin to win this war this winter. And he's taking steps to allow them to sell oil and give them money again, to disrupt Starlink, to show the Ukrainians where his hand actually lies. I think that's a huge strategic mistake for the United States."

🚨BREAKING: The woman punched in the face at Trump’s Youngstown rally has filed a report seeking to press charges, and the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office is now investigating three men. The woman was wearing a “Release the Epstein Files” shirt when she started shouting during the Oct. 12 rally at the Covelli Centre. Videos show three Trump supporters going after her, and at least one punched her in the face and pulled her hair, The Vindicator reports. Others can be seen restraining her as she was attacked. Deputies removed her. The Trump supporters were permitted to stay. Trump stopped speaking, then said: “He’s a paid protester. They’re all paid.” He misidentified her gender and made fun of her weight. No evidence has been offered that she was paid. According to Newsweek, she told The New York Times that no organization coordinated or financed her appearance and (surprise) ordinary citizens can want powerful p*dophiles held accountable. No arrests were made that night. Sheriff Jerry Greene said deputies didn’t see the assault and she hadn’t filed a report. His office then found her through social media and her if she would like to press charges. She said yes. As of Oct. 21, the sheriff said he’d identified three men, two from the area and one from New Jersey. The two area men want lawyers present for their interviews. Separately, a man named Russell Dickert bragged that he and “a friend” named Gary his son Clint “subdued her and threw her to the concrete.” Dickert’s LinkedIn, located by Reich-Wing Watch, happened to list his residence in New Jersey. Police haven’t disclosed the identify of the three suspects they identified. Prosecutor Lynn Maro said her office’s information indicates a misdemeanor assault, though Greene said the woman’s injuries could change that. The woman has been identified as Blake Miley, 29. She’s represented by civil rights attorney Subodh Chandra. Whether to charge anyone is up to prosecutors.
