I’m Blue Da Ba Dee Da Da

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

I haven’t slept a full night in three weeks ahead of the polls opening in Brazil today. I might be shouting into a void here, but if you can spare a few seconds to send good energy towards our elections today and for the largest country in South America to beat fascism, please do so. 🇧🇷

Here’s the editor of the Intercept Brazil as Lula tells the press that “something abominable is happening”

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

That’s it. If your core value and top concern isn’t the right to be safe for ALL people, please just get out of the way.

Wow. Vučić has conceded Serbian election. Massive moment for the entire Balkans

Yes, Slob Job, Nicki Minaj would make the perfect press secretary. Her husband is a registered sex offender convicted of rape who also served about 7 years for manslaughter. Her brother was convicted of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old child and is serving 25 years to life.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia’s strongman leader Aleksandar Vucic has conceded defeat to a student-led movement in a seismic political shift.

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

The governor of Bahia calls out the election sabotage, which has been reported in at least 10 states now, and demands extended voting hours. This is a shit show

I wrote about Steven “Oddjob” Cheung for @rawstory.com & I really hope it pisses him off Also perhaps to my editor for choosing that photo which really shows off his Weeble physique 😈 www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

White Christian nationalist are the real threat to our country. They are currently legislating their religious beliefs against our constitution

No lies detected 💥

CONGRESS APPROVED THE MONEY — SO WHY ARE OUR TROOPS STILL LIVING LIKE THIS? Pete Hegseth owes our troops & their families an explanation. #SupportTheTroops 🧵

Would be great if Kurt Warner could make an effort to call out the correct player names when he calls this Saints-Steelers game.

She shows how a Mike Rogers campaign email pretending to from Black folk is actually from a pac run by a bunch of white folk Stay woke yall

WSJ's Alex Ward points to obvious logical incoherence in Elon Musk's claims. Keeps making me think of the two WSJ stories on Elon Musk's severe Ketamine addiction.

Blanche is not the people's attorney general. He's Trump's fascist enforcer.

I found that one Ingram officer was clocking in far more hours and raking in more funds working for ICE than his coworkers, according to paystubs and timesheets I later acquired. Sometimes, he spent an entire 12-hour shift working for ICE.

The cop was handing them off to federal immigration agents. As early as a month after the flood, laborers were adding an extra 90 minutes to their daily commutes, just to avoid Ingram’s five-minute stretch of highway.

A must-read thread ⤵️

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com

Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

Glad to see the FDA finally acknowledging the estrogen patch shortage…

Why is Elon so desperate to stop Democrats from wining power? He told us in 2024. He fears they will put him in jail. What crimes has Musk committed? We do not know. But Musk does. He has spent $500 million to stop Democrats in this election. Will he also commit crimes to steal election?!

What they must understand

In 2020, Jared Kushner was senior advisor to the president of the United States, a full-time employee of the United States government, and was subject to numerous disclosure requirements and ethical restrictions under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978.

Touché!

Here’s what Amy Acton’s brother said about the odious Vivek Ramaswamy: “This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core—a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants.” www.americaamerica.news/p/morally-ro...

Voted today. Looking forward to the reduction in campaign texts and calls. Wish it worked the same way with television ads.

Wow! Amy Acton’s new ad is shocking. She’s talking about the issues Ohioans are concerned about and not trashing her opponent. To be fair, she doesn’t need to. Vivek already trashed himself.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

If Franklin Graham truly believed the words he says, he’d put the money he spends on his copious number of television ads to better use, a more “Christian” use…

I've been saying it since 2024. Elon Fucking Musk.

I said it in 2024 and I'm saying it again now. Elon Fucking Musk.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad targeting Amy Acton’s childhood trauma crosses every line of human decency. The ad circulated without disclosing who was behind it. His campaign initially dodged responsibility, then Vivek admitted it was his and plans to spend $4 million to promote it.

What is this plane doing?

MTG out here saying the quiet part out loud... I approve this message.

Today’s Substack post centers on nostalgia and music and no politics at all. If you’re looking for a quick read backed by the smooth sounds of Christopher Cross, read it! (Bring your own music.) thoughtsofamiddleagedwoman.substack.com/p/the-soundt...

What are we doing using someone’s tragic history of being a victim of child sexual abuse AGAINST them in a political campaign?! This is disgusting and should be loudly rejected by everyone, regardless of political party. It’s bad enough we have a long history of not punishing so many abusers.

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

🚨 VILE: Vivek Ramaswamy’s new attack ad against Amy Acton features her estranged mother, who stayed married to the man who sexually abused her daughter at age 12, even after his arrest. Now even conservatives are calling the ad disgusting. The horrifying story behind Vivek’s attack:

What a disgrace to have a traitorous U.S. president who blames democratic Ukraine for his problems while Ukraine is engaged in a life-and-death struggle for its sovereignty against the murderous invasion of Putin’s Russia. And worse, he is strengthening the enemy’s position.
