FORSTAG: When it comes to the Steelworkers over at Stillwater Mine, only one of us showed up while they were on the picket line picketing against a South African mining company, and only one of us has the Steelworkers endorsement. That is me. I'll stand with those union members.

FORSTAG MAKES IT CLEAR: I'm so tired of working people being told that we should settle for scraps while the richest people in this country get permanent relief. That is all backwards. I'll be fighting for working people, not for those corporations.

FORSTAG: The amount of money in our politics is a poison that is infecting every other piece of our government.

One of the two Democrats on the election board voted for the polling place to be moved.

He absolutely should be impeached and tried for treason, along with his many enablers in the White House and Congress. It's unfuckingreal that it hasn't happened yet. 🤬

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump puts new Russia sanctions passed by Congress on hold, saying a waiver is in the US national interest.

This is awesome. If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.

CENTCOM’s top commander just posted a video swearing the Strait of Hormuz is “controlled by the United States… not Iran.” The same week, Iran sank two cargo ships there, set a record for attacks, and oil hit $110. We fact-checked every claim in his video. 🧵👇

Call Chuck Schumer and tell him to defend Ilhan Omar publicly or resign. (202) 224-6542

Minnesota Republican state Sen. Bill Lieske: "Back in the day when the measles vaccine didn't exist, measles was a joke! ... yes, there are increases cases. How many of those are actually resulting in deaths? Are they just going home with the sniffles? Back in the day, people had measles parties."

Status Coup’s @jordanchariton.bsky.social speaks with Erica Barbanel, who has spent months requesting a meeting with NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill. Barbanel was dragged by ICE officers while protesting at the Delaney Hall Detention Center and continues to demand direct dialogue with state leadership.

Along with Fox and the right wing media cancer, Dems MUST deal with Elon if we are to survive as a democracy. There can be no cozying up to him. None.

When Musk took over Twitter, the Guardian asked me for a piece. I wrote about how Musk, Trump and Putin would form an anti-democratic alliance and it would take popular civil resistance to topple them. They didn’t publish the piece. Anyway:

Is it bad if major defense contractors have their own foreign policies?

"Six in 10 respondents to a recent survey said they were extremely concerned about government corruption, putting it ahead of inflation, healthcare and other issues." It's the corruption. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Oh.

"On Saturday Oct 17, “No Kings: Vote Early” events around the country will promote early voting and help people form voting plans like requesting absentee ballots, checking on their voter registrations or finding neighbors to help them drive to the polls..." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

This is false. No evidence, methodology, or sourcing was provided. What you sent was a sketch ass flash drive saying “trust us, bro.” No thanks. Your record sucks.

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

The reality is, all these fake MAGA tough guys from Trump on down are just whiny crybabies and perpetual victims.

Think it’s time Dem candidates stopped attacking Trump so much specifically and go after the entire party for being sycophants to him. The typical Republican will think it was just Trump to justify voting for other Republican candidates, and Dems shouldn’t let them. Tie them together, like they are

"In February 2024, Blanche & his partner Emil Bove — now Judge Bove — insisted that 'a fair trial cannot be conducted this year.' And yet, 22 days before the midterms, with early voting already underway in MN, Blanche’s DOJ searched a candidate’s home over paperwork a dead man filed 3 decades ago."

Dutch police have reportedly obeyed a US order to seize the server of an Italian left-wing internet service provider that was critical of Trump.

She done lost her damn mind.

Every single Republican running developed dementia at the same time

SURVEILLANCE CAPTURES MAIL THEFT AS SACRAMENTO VOTER REPORT MISSING BALLOTS

Elon is dumping mountains of money into the midterms to help Republicans. Spoiler: it isn’t to make life better for regular people — It’s to enrich himself, spread data centers, get government contracts, etc… he does not care about you. www.instagram.com/p/DeaJjWxl0H...

Absolutely stunning that in the NYT’s latest major story on Elon Musk single-handedly trying to save the GOP there is NOT ONE WORD about how he is the world’s most vocal white supremacist and advocate of ethnic cleansing.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

Did they put Eric Schmitt in charge of ad buys?

After his only rival dropped out, an accused rapist set to become the sheriff of the small town of Elizabeth, Louisiana. Republican, Christopher Paul, 48, faces two charges of raping two 13-year-old girls in 2005 and 2006. #ProudBlue #Louisiana #GOPedophiles www.ynetnews.com/article/hkd0...

“Political intimidation” We are very far off the cliff 🇺🇸

Reminder that HSI should be wholly abolished and none of its staff kept. Their mission is to investigate "the illegal movement of people, goods, money, contraband, weapons and sensitive technology." They're just letting that happen, too busy doing this and guarding the reflecting pool Trump ruined.

no coming back from this without punishing the entire chain of command from the officers carrying out this shit to the people at the top giving the orders

It is a bad day to be running a Republican political campaign: Ukraine's drone strikes on Russian data centers are sending millions of suspected Russian social media bot accounts offline. #democracy #elections #RussianBotFarms #Ukraine #SlavaUkraini #NAFO #Fellas #Blues

A quick reminder that all the deranged right-wing conspiracy theories about James Talarico are to distract from the fact that their candidate, Ken Paxton, is too much of a coward to agree to a debate.

SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THIS MAN STILL HAS A JOB? Brenden Cuni, the same ICE agent seen on video brandishing a rifle at the scene of the shooting in NY, where officers shot an unarmed man in front of his 5-year-old child, was also filmed kneeling on a pregnant woman in Minneapolis last December.

SLAVA UKRAINE! 🇺🇦

Rachel Campos-Duffy claims Ukraine has killed "a million kids on the Russian side"

NEW: Footage from Thursdays shooting shows an ICE agent in a construction vest brandishing a rifle. His name is Brenden Cuni. Federal judges have found multiple arrests involving Cuni unlawful. He has been accused of repeatedly Tasing a handcuffed man and tackling a pregnant woman in Minneapolis.

The Dem party must address the cancer that is Fox and right wing angertainment propaganda media. There is no other way to unite the country. And maybe not even then, but it cannot happen without it.
