Natalie Harp is sitting right next to Trump as his car rolls up to his Qatari bribe jet #TravelWithNatalie

Trump: "We took over Venezuela very successfully, and they've sent me as a gift a boatload of a million barrels of oil"

Q: You'll respect the election results whatever happens? TRUMP: If they're honest elections (That's a no!)

UPDATE: Trump’s DOJ is fighting to send armed agents back to the homes of naturalized citizens to ask about their voter eligibility. This comes after a lower court blocked the armed visits in 9 states.

As Israel votes, and one week from our election, a cautionary note told to me a long time ago by a top Israeli pollster: Israeli voters tell the truth to pollsters— and lie when they vote

Florida early voting update: Early in-person turnout among Republicans has fallen off a cliff. At R+0.4, the total early vote in the state is about as blue as 2018, 5 points higher than this point in 2022, and 10 points higher than in 2024. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-early...

I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury tells me Congress is ready for Trump’s “funny business” including from his 1,000 “observers” at midterm polling locations. More on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/thefrank...

⚖️ HAPPENING NOW: The 7th Circuit is hearing a pro-voting lawsuit challenging Indiana's new law banning student IDs for voting. Students have used student IDs for voting in the state since 2005. Over 30k students at one state university used them to vote in 2024. 📺: https://demdock.com/3UlaGOR

Let’s leave it all on the field. Knock doors. Make calls. Organize anyone and everyone you know. We have a fight ahead this Election Day, and I know Indo-American Democrats are ready for that fight. It was a pleasure to join you.

Virginia’s 5th district has been a Republican stronghold for 15 years. But next week, voters frustrated with MAGA and its broken promises may change direction. @tomperriello.bsky.social WATCH: https://www.contrariannews.org/p/can-he-flip-virginia-again-this-former

Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan? JD VANCE: People are busy. People have lives. People have jobs.

Q: Is El-Sayed a jihadist like President Trump said yesterday? JD VANCE: Well look, he certainly has a lot of weird friends

Not sure there is any other more powerful sign of Trump's ebbing powers and impotency than this:

JD Vance accuses El-Sayed of engaging in "explicitly anti-white racial hatred"

Thought for the day.

🚨BREAKING: Democrats asked a federal judge Monday night for a restraining order and temporary injunction to halt President Donald Trump and his administration from interfering in the upcoming midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Just putting it out there: I love the Cheesecake Factory, with or without Saddam Hussein’s decor. That Linda’s Fudge Cake… oof. 👏🏽 #sorrynotsorry

We need to get money out of politics. Let's start with Elon Musk. Full story in reply.

Not sure what’s up with some of these polls with 10 pt differences between RV and LV samples. Implausible in size generally and also tend to point in the wrong direction. Single samples can be weird when you’re weighting by 12 variables but this is definitely adding uncertainty

"We’re a week out, and things look good. In fact they’re looking a bit better every day...Insofar as one can read the entrails of the early vote—more than 30m Americans have already voted—they seem to confirm the polls, which continue to signal a big blue wave." www.thebulwark.com/p/wave-goodb...

FWIW, the first time I ever heard of the Cheesecake Factory it was when I dined there with the family of an *extremely wealthy* high-school friend. The specific restaurant was located in a *very* upscale mall. Seemed like TGIF for people with more 💵

Jawdropping.

BREAKING: Preliminary injunction granted in the golf course case by Judge Reyes! The threat to close & destroy this historic property is the latest act of Trump corruption that the courts have responded to Kudos to our wonderful clients & cocounsel @democracyforward.org & Lowell & Associates

JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

Trump has influenced not just what the Republican Party does but what they actually believe is acceptable. “We need to understand how far they have shifted their thinking,” Marc Elias says, “and we need to adjust our tactics accordingly.” New rules, new fights. Follow us to keep up.

If Brazil and Serbia can do it, we can do it too. joycevance.substack.com/p/live-on-de...

Trump is interrupted by a protester in Mississippi: "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass!"

OTOH very few of them ever tried to F a bear cub

Hey Alabama GOP—here’s the voter fraud youve been looking for, but it’s the GOP candidate for Lt Gov, being called out here by the Dem candidate @phillipensler.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DeR8AKh...

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

Here's the schedule for briefing in Trump's attempt to steal Mary Petola's win. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🔥 BEN MEISELAS ERUPTS: The Cheesecake Factory faux outrage exposes the propaganda machine. They brainwash Americans into fighting each other while oligarchs steal our healthcare, send our kids to endless wars, and buy more yachts. Divide the people. Enrich the oligarchs.

VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park The plan was to turn a public park into a private tournament course for Trump & wealthy golfers. The trees stay while we fight it out in court @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are on the case 👇- TN

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Now THAT's talking like a Speaker

If he wins by double digits and helps bring in 4 PA House seats h'e going to get a whole lot of attention

Trump on Iran: "We beat the shit out of them"

💯

Trump: "They'd hit our cities. They'd hit San Diego. They'd hit Los Angeles"

Donald Trump's deployment of California's National Guard in Los Angeles was an unlawful and unconstitutional abuse of power. It was done over California’s objection — all in an effort to intimidate peaceful protestors advocating for immigrant rights.

Trump: "It was $1.85 on the top of the jigger"

This is like me in class when I’m totally burnt, exhausted, distracted, and so not excited about the material. Except I’d probably be taking about epicycles of logical positivism and I’d need to be tripping balls to be this next-level incoherent.
