This is a disturbing thread (and a valuable public service). We are on the event horizon of a 1984ish Hand Maid's Tale black hole.

As theocrats in robes, appointed by presidents who lost their elections, make ready to impose forced birth on half of America, it's time to worry that police in thrall to "the party of small government" will spy on, hunt down, and punish people who get abortions (or miscarry). 1/

The one thing people on the left and people on the right and people in the center all agree on.

This is why they keep us fighting over social issues so we don’t unite against them on this.

"She's having her scripts written for her"

In final days of campaign of a tightening race, South Carolina Democratic Senate nominee Annie Andrews accuses Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) of being a scripted voice of GOP establishment

Trump: If Democrats win, “You’re going to be thrown into a system where everyone gets healthcare.”

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

This is some of the most impressive mental gymnastics ever.

From our tracker:

“We don’t consider it the most likely scenario, but security and legal professionals should keep in mind an outside possibility: a move made outside the law, not within it. In December 2022 Trump said a “massive fraud” should allow “the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution” (NPR). In February 2025 he posted, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law” (AP). A sudden national-security crisis, such as an attack on US satellites, could be cited as grounds. Our Space War tracker has documented no hostile act.”

1. Putin seems to have increasing control over Starlink in part because of blackmail threats to destroy it — both on the ground and in space.

2. The simplest answer to what Trump may do in lieu of, or in response to, the election is to fully suspend the constitution.

This act of extraordinary vandalism will help no one but the National Front (RN) and Vladimir Putin. I wonder if Europeans really do want to save themselves. https://t.co/h3iSIOCflY

Yesterday, during the No Kings nationwide early voting Day of Action, the group’s Instagram page was taken down for 90 minutes and its administrators were locked out. 

@Meta owes the organizers and the American people an explanation of why it silenced No Kings and undermined its Day of Action.

Just wait until he hears the story of James Donald Bowman. Who came home from school one day and said that now he wants to be James David Hamel. Then he started wearing eye shadow and said he'd rather be called JD Vance. These things happen.

This woman in France, standing alone against the looting of a small store, is what heroism is all about. Hats off.

Here is the newest post on Threads by Sascha Riley, the hero veteran who accused trump of raping him when he was a boy.

I’m visiting fam in Texas. Anti-Talarico, anti-Hinojosa TV spots run on every station all day, every got damn day—full of lies about their positions on trans issues, state income taxes&more. Nonstop flood of BS that too many willfully ignorant voters will buy hook, line&sinker!😡

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski:

“The USA haven’t spent a single cent on Ukraine since January 2025, so more than 1.5 years. We in Europe are doing it.”

This journalist is my favorite journalist now, who is he?🇷🇺🎻

Journalist to Hegseth: “Mr. Secretary, are you Vladimir Putin's puppet on Ukraine? Mr. Secretary, is Vladimir Putin playing you like a fiddle?"

The Trump administration REALLY wants to keep the American public in the dark about DOGE.

But we're determined to bring DOGE’s reckless operation and its disastrous impact into the light. https://t.co/nLTmWfxSkI

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time and everybody knows it. While the crook president and his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war and spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile."

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Ossoff: "Maybe you saw Trump so desperate that he's begging Putin for diesel. But listen to this -- at the very same time, the White House is brokering the sale of billions in Russian energy assets to people who fund the Trump family and the Trump campaign. Y'all remember Jared Kushner?"

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

On October 16, 2019, I told Donald Trump, “With you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.”

On October 16, 2026, Trump signed an executive order waiving new sanctions on Russia passed by bipartisan majorities in Congress and signed into law just last month.

This decision insults America’s commitment to democracy and our brave men and women in uniform, as Russia helps Iran target American forces.

I join Republican senators in condemning this unconscionable capitulation to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians.

As I have asked for years: What does Putin have on Trump that he would sell out America’s values?

[Tara Setmayer 🌻 🇺🇸 @TaraSetmayer]

So it looks like the Kennedy Center was being used as a slush fund for foreign bribes.
No wonder Trump installed Grennell there initially.
