The CA vote purge case just keeps getting weirder. Yesterday the DOJ filed supplemental declarations, including from a Shasta Co official named Clinton Curtis, who turns out to be a wackodoo who claimed he could tell fake ballots by smell. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Collusion is so yesterday www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

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."

THIS!

LOL

While we wait for things to get started.... If you appreciate live courts coverage like this, I hope you'll consider supporting our work! Lawfare is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Our coverage and analysis is free, no paywall. But we rely on donations to keep it that way! givebutter.com/journalism/a...

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

The DOJ is just embarrassing itself at this point.

"People have jobs". Something the twatwaffle Vance has never had.

Let's be honest: Beatrice Keul is precisely the kind of woman Trump stalks.

It fits the Guard Our Pedophile party mantra...Kevin Landher

Huge headlines around the world. In major US corporate media, complete silence. Something fishy here.

The whole push for this came from a dark money group formed in March. Big victory for tech companies selling overpriced bags, abusive & lecherous security staff, and school shooters. What I get as a parent is an unfunded mandate for my local school board and daily fears about Uvalde. Gee, thanks.

He's got the White House looking like the finest brothel in all of Kazakhstan! He's got the White House looking like Mohamar Ghadafi opened a hookah lounge! He's got the White House looking like Mussolini opened a Spaghetti Warehouse!

I'd suggest next Obama says he's got the White House looking like the finest brothel in all of Kazakhstan, but Trump would probably take that one as a compliment.

Lina Khan is a great voice:

Yes, what Mr. Balko said:

Oh, man, he's so close to getting it.

Trump wants to ban Norwegians from the U.S., all because he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize. trib.al/m49pt4A

"I'll decide whether the person is deserving," and deserves payment, he said regarding fraud payouts

This piece of shit. Make it stop.

Are Elon, Trump and Pete just taking turns helping Russia slaughter Ukraine so that no one of them takes all of the heat for too long

I suppose I care a bit, but only because some centrists Democrats are still listening to him for some reason. Why do they do that? No idea.

Haley Stevens represents everything wrong with the Democratic Party. She moved into Andy Levin's district and took AIPAC's millions to defeat him in a primary. He is Jewish, she is not. She's accused Abdul El Sayed of antisemitism and bad Black outreach. The party would be better without her.

😳

The Secret Service is guarding a fortified rape palace at taxpayer expense. It’s not just the décor that evokes Saddam Hussein and family.

Um, NO!

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.

Trump's plan to reinstall Bolsonaro (junior edition), with support from Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, has failed

This:

Like I've been saying, the genuinely close race in New Jersey isn't NJ-7, it's NJ-2. See VoteMaximizer.org - your greatest leverage is to get out the vote in south Jersey for Mullock v. Van Drew. *Not* Kean v. Bennett.

Take note, US voters, students. Resistance works, perseverance works, protests work.

Ouch.

The Govt enters into $100B worth of contracts each year, all with confidentiality terms that prevent citizens from knowing if the contractor is performing well. If I win in the Full Federal Court next week, that’ll all change. #transparency #Snowy #auspol

Just a reminder: When election lawyers cite the Purcell case, that was Helen Purcell, the very long time County Recorder here in Maricopa County. An old school honest Republican and generally fantastic lady.

I would feel bad for the DOJ lawyer getting creamed by this panel but he is taking an evil position and trying to subvert free and fair elections.

LOL!

No surprise after Sup Court decision re Chicago but particularly encouraging that court ruled there was no rebellion or danger of rebellion —ie made decision itself rather than deferring to Trump Court Says Trump Violated Law in Los Angeles National Guard Deployment www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...

My god, just saw the most racist TV political ad in my life. By some right wing racist outfit called America First.
