AFinRenoFightsBack 🌊2026 🌊

I did a thing. Hope others find it useful...because we sure AF can't trust the legacy media to deliver the news about what's going on: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

The great @rob-rogers.bsky.social does it again:

Oh yeah--now I remember why I unsubscribed from the @nytimes.com FFS: saltypolitics.substack.com/p/what-the-a...

"Trump says he’s offering $1 million for information about voter fraud. Ok. We saw an orange fuckhead try to steal an election and attack the Capitol. Please send us our million bucks now" 🤣👏🇺🇸👏🤣 open.substack.com/pub/adampark...

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I could summarize this, but I can't do better than @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social & @samyoungman.bsky.social "Judge Reyes has issued an injunction to stop Trump from bulldozing a public golf course in D.C. This will free him up to focus on healthcare and gas prices" 🤣 www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

OMFG we have one week to go! Let's do this thing!

"A judge has ordered Gov. Greg Abbott to let his Democratic challenger, Gina Hinojosa, see his office’s unredacted communications with Elon Musk" ! She "must sign a confidentiality agreement and can’t publicly release the contents" Shit. But it's a start: aaronparnas.substack.com/p/news-alarm...

Counterintelligence Officials Sound the Alarm After Trump Jr. Goes Hunting With a Kremlin-Linked Oligarch "Trump Jr. spent two days hunting in Mongolia with Umar Kremlev, the Kremlin-linked Russian oligarch who helped bankroll his wedding celebrations" aaronparnas.substack.com/p/news-alarm...

👏👏👏👏👏

THIS 👇 HERE TOO........

Shorter @mattyglesias.bsky.social -- what's wrong with you people who GAF about events that take place outside your country's borders??? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

So, I'm not blockquoting from this, but this report about the rape allegations against Donald the Terrible are disturbing to say the least. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles Accountability. NOW: open.substack.com/pub/populari...

They'll get that check right after their DOGE dividend, the tariff dividend, and the $5K bribe for voting the way Donny 2 Dolls wants you to vote:

We’re dropping the paywall "between now and the election, Democracy Docket is dropping its paywall" Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social & everyone at @democracydocket.com for keeping us informed & protecting our vote! newsletters.democracydocket.com/were-droppin...

There could be weather, or you might get sick, or have a family member who isn't feeling well, or you could have a work emergency that needs to be tended to, or... You get the point. Vote early (in person) if at all possible!

👏🗳️🇺🇸🗳️👏

The man who has spent more money on politics in the last 2 years than George Soros has in his entire lifetime never says anything positive about his guy Ken Paxton. But he does serve up a steady diet of this stuff.

"a nonpartisan organization dedicated to restoring criminal accountability for public officials and law enforcement who break the law in the United States" This is an excellent idea:

And the people who *are* in the audience for Donald's hatefest look bored:

He looks like shit.

Donald wants to go there about billionaire money? OK: Cumulative contributions to US election campaigns - Elon Musk surpassed George Soros

College Students: Ignore the Antis on Your Campus jessica.substack.com/p/18-republi...

NEW: 19 Republican AGs Want to Outlaw Sharing Abortion Information "Republicans aren’t bothering to hide anymore. They are saying, out loud and on paper, that they want to criminalize pro-choice speech" Fascists love to cut off access to information: jessica.substack.com/p/18-republi...

corporate media routinely describes Tim Scott as a moderate and celebrates his "relentless optimism"

"Is this not the best president in our lifetime?" Not a word about her own campaign (which is ostensibly the reason Donald is there in the first place.) It's all about sucking up to Dear Leader for MAGA:

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

"The mailer, sent from the 'Progressive Alliance of Wisconsin,' attacks Crowley, saying he 'Backs the blue, NOT US.' It blames Crowley for various incidents of police violence...it is linked to Republican operatives" Don't be fooled, Wisconsin: open.substack.com/pub/populari...

Senior House Dems are "discussing a dramatic step, should they win the majority: wielding the power of the purse against the illicit persecution of Trump critics. This could entail targeted efforts to defund investigations and prosecutions ordered up baselessly" GOOD: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

Three Reasons Why Donald Trump Probably Wants the Republicans to Lose People seemed surprised that Trump would dismiss high gas prices and claim the U.S. is making a fortune from the Iran war. But if you know Trump’s brain, it’s not surprising at all newrepublic.com/article/2171...

When asked to respond to Trump's comments, Norwegians said:

No. The charges are already time barred. Under the relevant statute of limitations, an indictment must be filed within 10 years of the offense, which allegedly occurred on October 5, 2016. This DOJ is out of control.

"AP sportswriter Josh Dubrow: 'Harrison Butker’s 15 missed kicks (10 FGs, 5 PATs) since start of last season are the most in NFL.' The Trump Curse...Trump and Butker became pals right before Butker went from being the best kicker in the league to the worst" His wife might have to get a job now 🤣

"top House Democrats are planning a shock-and-awe legislative sprint to demonstrate within hours of taking power that they are passing bills to deliver on their promises, including restoring health care subsidies and Medicaid resources and moving to end Trump’s tariffs and the war with Iran"

Fuck you, tech bros--time to sow what you reaped:

Surprise, surprise...when Donny 2 Dolls says "the US" is making money from high oil prices, he means *he* is making bank from Americans' suffering:

Huff Post reporter S.V. Date: “In early Sept, Trump pledged to visit all 35 swing House districts. So far he has visited zero.”

Abdul El-Sayed at a campaign rally... “I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn’t mind as much when it’s the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law’s private equity. Doesn’t seem to mind as much when it’s the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet"

"A GOP operative working on House races: 'This is just a ‘batten down the hatches’ situation.' The operative noted they have not seen an incumbent in a competitive district crack the 50% threshold in any recent internal polling" OMFGeightdaystogoLFGOMGOMGOMG:

There have been some billionaires who made at least cosmetic efforts towards using their money for charitable purposes & the public good Then there's that asshole Elon Musk: anntelnaes.substack.com/p/musk-is-tr...

"The national average gas price was $4.28 per gallon on Monday, according to AAA—which is more than $1.20 higher than it was exactly one year ago, when drivers paid an average of $3.05 per gallon" Eight days to go. Volunteer. Donate if you can. Talk to friends & family. And most of all...VOTE!

“'It’s not a big hit' on consumers, he said of the effects of his war on Iran. 'I thought gasoline would go up much more'” So Donny 2 Dolls would have been OK with prices escalating even more and causing even more damage to our economy. Good to know. 8 days left: open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

Why do many women keep quiet? Because, when some women come forward with sexual assault allegations, people say she asked for it, should have prevented it, or wants attention for it. And, when a woman’s childhood abuse is weaponized against her in politics, she’s called a liar. That’s why.

"the average price of gas during Trump’s second term is now more expensive than it was during the Biden era...It’s a major reversal of the return to sub-$2 gas that Trump promised in the summer of 2024" Promises made, promises broken: www.cnn.com/2026/10/26/e...

Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey S. Grob issued a lengthy public apology following backlash over the clip...Des Moines Bishop William Joensen accused those involved of exploiting the meeting “for partisan political purposes” Sorry not sorry--you should know better by now www.huffpost.com/entry/cathol...

"if there’s one thing [Hungary, Serbia, & Brazil] have demonstrated, it’s that you can still beat a fascist at the ballot box. And that’s exactly what we intend to do. So let’s leave it all out on the field and keep this streak going:" open.substack.com/pub/adampark...
