Yeah I don’t wanna hear anything about the Dan Sullivan scandal. The GOP does this all the time. Peltola didn’t know about it. The main source was fired and retracted their story. And even if the campaign DID do it, fight fire with fire. It’s legal. Just like gerrymandering.

BRAZIL'S LULA: THIS IS WHAT THE BOLSONARO FAMILY IS LIKE, BRAZIL IS THEIR SECOND NATION, THE US IS THE FIRST

This is wild. Scott Perry seems to be loosing his reelection race. And now he’s up with an ad with a fake affidavit accusing his challenger of walking around naked. x.com/brett1231/st...

Here's the NYT story about how Trump is inviting Russia into AK to drill for oil. Literally selling out Alaska to Russia. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

OBAMA: That just feels a little bit different… where people are so sick and tired of being sick and tired. After 2 years of chaos. and cruelty. and corruption. and incompetence—you get a chance to say enough's enough.

"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. .. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage .. But nothing flourishes in that world." This is very well articulated A fascinating read:

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

So Marine Corps vets who were poisoned only get compensated by the draft dodger if Republicans win. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. When Trump touts the stock market as a sign of a good economy, remember who is benefiting the most.

Trump claims Roger Marshall would've been arrested if he hadn't sued and in some cases had his patients imprisoned for not paying small bills

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

“Donald Trump’s treachery was predictable and predicted. Even so, watching him throwing a financial lifeline to Putin as the monstrous mob boss murders Ukrainians is sick-making stuff. The president’s “October Suprise” was a stab in the back.” charliesykes.substack.com/p/russia-rus...

Saturday. Zoom. Less than a day’s notice. Behind closed doors. The St. Louis police board’s “emergency” was a deadline the chief put on his own raise. He got $295,000, up from $183,000, plus a $24,500 retirement account and a car. The union that pushed for this board is not happy.

Trump *himself* filed a financial disclosure form this year that asserted he made over a billion dollars last year. That's not a claim from the fake news, or the crazy liberals. That is Trump's own filing.

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

KEEP IT SIMPLE: Yes on 6 and NO on the Rest! Amendment 6 protects your vote and Amendments 3, 7, 8 and Prop A are politicians trying to take power from you.

Reuters: The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials Defense Department leaders were told that SpaceX’s Starshield service for the Ukrainian military needed to be slowed

Trump shameful betrayal of brave Ukraine places his support as a de facto agent of Putin the despot. Simply incredible that Trump supports and praises these criminal dictators and excoriates our democratic allies.

Meloni: "Capitulation is not peace. I don’t miss the Russian tanks that crushed the uprisings in Prague and Budapest. And I don’t miss the Berlin Wall.”

Scrap the cap!

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Seriously, I’m re-evaluating the extent to which all these dudes are deeply closeted at this point. The only guys I know so obsessed with clarifying they’re not into other guys are guys who are in fact into other guys.

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer bots. It’s pretty clear where those bots were."

They are trying to use trans issues (that they've already banned!) to trick you into attacking reproductive healthcare freedom. Vote NO on Amendment 3

This is so sick. So a Russian blood diesel vessel is on its way to NC set to arrive tomorrow. It left St Petersburg on Sept 22nd. This Trump-Putin plan has been in the works for weeks can’t picture what allies America will have left after this

You voted for paid sick leave in 2024 and politicians in Jefferson City repealed it. Amendment 6 stops them from tossing out your vote. Vote YES on 6!

Trump Admin Gears Up for Post-Midterm Crackdown on Abortion Drug talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...

I’m starting to believe that Pete Hegseth is the violent sociopath his mom says he is.

They don't care whether things are true or accurate, and they don't care if innocent people are hurt. The dishonesty and viciousness of the right is dangerous and scary. No wonder they're so down on any efforts to stop disinformation.

After two days of discourse over what Trump meant, he goes full Colonel Jessup "you're goddamn right I ordered the Code Red" tonight.

This ad should concern Susan Collins.

This is such a sick, evil thing to say. Especially because he’s not saying this as a joke. Just as sick that his supporters are laughing at it

An American president is encouraging an enemy to destroy American cities. This is treason, though he will claim we are not at war.

1/ Over the weekend, there was a reported case of plague in Russia. I’m seeing a lot of rumors about the event being spread without facts to back it up, so I wanted to jump on here to break down what we do and don’t know about this situation and whether or not you should be concerned.

Donald Trump has always been coarse. It's just one of many reasons he was rejected by Manhattan's Upper East Side society, dismissed as a vulgar, unpolished loudmouth from Queens. He was pitiably stung by their rebuff. And resents his MAGA followers for not being able to confer societal pedigree.

At the children’s museum in Indianapolis there’s a section dedicated to children whose stories should inspire: ruby bridges, Malala, Ryan white, Anne Frank. At the end of the Anne Frank exhibit, there’s a wall with quotes from her diary on it, and kids are invited to write in pencil on post its…

Fuck me im starting to believe

The GOP promised their tax cuts for the rich would lead to growth. But growth slowed down. They said their tariffs would bring back manufacturing. But factory jobs are down under Trump. Republican policies don’t work. Change begins on November 3.

James Talarico walks out to a standing ovation from 50,000 Texans at the State Fair Classic.

I never ever thought I would see such a dangerous unhinged psychopath running the US military. We’ve had some bad ones, but never like this.

Ossoff on Mike Collins: "This is a congressman who called for executing immigrants by throwing them out of helicopter. He is a fanatic and Trump puppet."

A CT scan of Trump's brain probably looks like a QR code by now.

I'm profoundly against this depraved record and want to do the exact opposite: pass Medicare for All.

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

You’re going to get those $5,000 checks from Trump as soon as Eric Schmitt finds proof that Jack Smith was at the Atlanta Hawks game.

Amendment 7 would lock Missouri tax dollars in a Wall Street fund for decades, maybe generations, before it pays a dime back. Our schools and hospitals can't wait. Vote NO on Amendment 7 by Nov. 3.
