They don’t want to confront the rank racism that lies at the heart of today’s Republican Party and pretending that black voters are drifting away from Democrats and flirting with the GOP is an essential part of that.
pundits are basically bored by the idea that these democratic candidates are not meaningfully behind with black voters and so are trying to conjure a controversy into existence

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted
We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

If you’re thinking of buying an Audi, don’t forget that an Audi executive appeared at a Trump rally this weekend to try to boost an American dictatorship. Make your car-buying decision accordingly.

More than a decade ago, Trump promised to fix a broken health care system. But he never came up with a plan. Now he's saying it's the best in the world. He simply skipped the "fix it" part.
Trump: "We have the best healthcare plans in the world. Now it doesn't cover everybody, but it covers a lot of people."

Smart move by Mike Rogers' staff to set up his earpiece so it mutes any reference to Trump.
WELKER: Is a vote for you a vote for the Trump agenda? MIKE ROGERS: Um, I'm apologizing. I'm having some difficultly in my earpiece. But is a vote for you? I'm not sure. I'll tell you what a vote for me is. It's a great day for the state of Michigan

Excellent analysis. "[T]hese are not the actions of a confident regime fully in control of the nation’s destiny. This certainly does not indicate there is a comprehensive secret scheme - some devious, unstoppable master plan. The MAGA government is in Hail Mary territory."
The Right’s Fascistic Fever Dreams Are a Sign of Weakness MAGA wants us to believe that Trump can simply declare “martial law” and wipe away the system - but it’s just not true. A threat assessment before the midterms. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵

We are faced with a somewhat paradoxical situation. MAGA weakness is a source of radicalization. When delusion, authoritarian desires, ideological zealotry, ineptitude, and mounting desperation all combine, things are bound to escalate further. That is dangerous!

“People are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. Were making a frickin’ fortune.”
Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

This is a model for how you describe that ad in your lead. 👏 www.ms.now/news/amy-act...
Headlines that call it an “attack ad” featuring “Acton’s estranged mother” obfuscate the aberration. How about “Ramaswamy ad revictimizes Acton, who was raped as a child”? presswatchers.org/2026/10/depr...

I’m sure this has much more to do with the crimes they plan on committing in the next two years than crimes of the past. People will hesitate to follow Trump’s illegal orders if they get the sense they may actually be held accountable.

Has anyone asked Ramaswamy how much he or his campaign paid this elderly, destitute woman to appear in his ad? bsky.app/profile/bgru...
Donna Arthur — aka Amy Acton’s estranged mother, and the person whose testimony Vivek Ramaswamy devoutly trusts — has been living with her cats, in a car, in a church parking lot, having declined housing assistance. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...
