Talarico: "If you've seen an attack ad on your TV, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos. That was Elon too."

How is it that another credible rape allegation and multiple assertions of further wrongdoing emerge about the president the week before an election and no one were to care? New concessions to the Russians? More revelations about his family Russia ties? About Kushner Trump corruption? How? How? How?

This DOJ is proving itself to be led by a bunch of political hacks - and thank goodness not all that competent ones (see eg the failed Information against Comey).

So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Thank you, Brazil. Thank you, Serbia. Reminding us of the power and undying promise of democracy. Are you listening, America?

"After fighting Chavistas and their Russian, Iranian, and Cuban allies for so long, nobody in Venezuela’s historically pro-American democratic opposition ever expected a U.S. administration to stand in their way. But if it does, they are preparing to fight that obstacle too."

The question is: Why did Trump derail peace talks?

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

Solid metaphor for the entire administration, honestly

CARTOON OF THE DAY H/T @sketchyrepublic.bsky.social

Meta ordered to pay $25 billion penalty in New Mexico Cambridge Analytica case 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 GOOD!!!! Cambridge Analytica is why I stopped using FB and now meta apps writ large.

Washington has discovered a brilliant financial strategy. Cut benefits for people who need them, cut taxes for people who don't, and borrow the difference from people who aren't old enough to vote.

The United States continues to help Putin murder civilians in Ukraine

DOJ's woeful attempt to disqualify Judge Reyes in the golf course case is rightly DENIED We will see the Trump administration in court bright and early Monday morning on our preliminary injunction motion!

Ballou: The ads say “Paid for by the U.S. Government,” which is absolutely not allowed. Turns out what happened is they have misappropriated $20 million that was supposed to be spent on other things, specifically for these campaign ads. Obviously, that’s illegal.

Dems, time to focus on fighting fascism. If you're a centrist and you have an issue with progressives, a progressive who has an issue with centrists, a pro-Israel Dem who has an issue with critics, or anyone else inclined to slow our pace to a big victory in November, have a seat, save it for later.

For you youngs who weren't alive for this: Understand that the Chicks were an early rollout of the far right intimidation that we see targeting judges, members of Congress, and ICE protestors now.

Our country is not Trump’s personal playground. Enough of this crap.

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.

Worth noting this, in light of Meta's temporary ban on the 'No Kings' Instagram account

“.. The anger is palpable .. over the administration’s decision to drop import tariffs on foreign beef .. the higher costs of tractors, fertilizer and fuel .. .. ‘I don’t think there’s incentive to crawl through glass to vote for Trump this year.’” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/10/18/u...

📌Our WH has become a golden, cheap whorehouse where odious oligarchs like Elon Musk are wined, dined and bathe in Trump’s grease, while true heroes like Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky are berated and humiliated for standing up to Trump’s Mother Russia. Trump is a traitor sure as I'm typing this.

As families had returned to their apartment complex in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine after several Russian attacks, their building was struck again. WCK's #ChefsForUkraine teams are responding there once again, supporting families and first responders with hot meals, drinks, and snacks.

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.

Some content back up BUT NO administrative access for No Kings organizers Does Meta not think we are paying attention? Pro-democracy state AG's, legislatures & regulators should be all over investigating this--& so should a new pro-democracy Congress THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

Meta has sabatoged Instagram account for No Kings

UPDATE: While the No Kings Instagram is back up, admins remain locked out and cannot post Meta must restore full access immediately Until then, continue following for updates: @ACLU.org , @MoveOn.org , @publiccitizen.bsky.social & @Indivisible.org -TN

(THR) - TikTok has banned the entire Musk film account, citing political content that violates its policies. .. raises concerns about Big Tech suppression that the very film seeks to expose.” @thr.com www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

🚨 BREAKING: Meta pulled down the main No Kings Instagram accounts. We demand answers for why this happened during our National Day of Action Meanwhile, millions are mobilizing—they cannot silence us Follow for updates: @ACLU.org , @MoveOn.org , @publiccitizen.bsky.social & @Indivisible.org -TN

Trump puts new Russia sanctions that he recently signed into law on hold, citing national interest apnews.com/article/russ... Jeezus … it would be more surprising if he wasn’t an agent.

Dictator Move of the Day.

🔥 🇬🇧 SKY NEWS REPORTER @jamesmatthewsky.bsky.social: “Mr. Secretary, are you Vladimir Putin’s puppet on Ukraine? Mr. Secretary, is Vladimir Putin playing you like a fiddle?” (Spoiler: yes)

In case facts still matter…
