Anderson Cooper: “Husted’s ass may be hard, but his polling is soft.” 😬🤷🏼

Truth Social traffic "declined 30% over the last year," and "the platform averaged a measly 260,000 daily users in September." 🤣

If you’re unclear Amanpour’s exit from CNN after 43 years has to do with the Ellison takeover and her coverage of Israel/Gaza you’re not paying attention. Fascism is taking hold in 🇺🇸, as the Trump-friendly pro-Israel oligarchs buy up the outlets.

Abdul El-Sayed is not, in fact, "from that part of the world." He was born in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. He's an American, no matter how much it makes the bigots cry

"While January 6th showed Americans what one vivid form of election subversion looks like, schemes of that sort rarely announce themselves with the clamor of an insurrection." It's what we don't see that we must look out for. ICYMI @amandacarpenter.bsky.social:

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

What a leader and incredible life; R.I.P.: “Margaret Hamilton, who led the 100-person team that wrote the onboard software for the Apollo missions, guiding Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to a safe landing on the moon, died Sept. 30 in Cambridge, Mass. She was 90.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/07/o...

The Dems getting better at this

amazing -- Karl Rove lists Paxton's scandals: "The corrupt business guy gives him a fake Uber account and the records of that are now in his impeachment proceedings, so we know how often he went to have sex with Laura Olsen. I mean, can you make this shit up?"

Talarico: "Corrupt politicians are profiting off a corrupt war and Texans are literally paying the price ... this war in Iran is a disaster. It is killing Americans, driving up the price of gas and diesel, it is wrecking our moral standing around the world. And it must end."

We are live watching the celebration of the arts.. we will persevere !

Ossoff: "We are witnessing people drunk with power who are utterly reckless, utterly corrupt, and obviously believe that they live with impunity. They believe they're untouchable. They believe they're invincible. Let's prove them wrong."

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "Neutrality always faults to the benefit of the authoritarian. This is why the mainstream media inadvertently ends up in a trap of normalizing what's happening. We need independent media that doesn't feel bound by those things and can just tell the truth."

Newsom: "He's not screwing around. He wasn't screwing around when he called Greg Abbott for 5 seats, said he was entitled to 5 seats. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's going to lose the election unless he rigs the election before one vote is cast. That is what we're up against."

Consumer sentiment is at its lowest in 70 years of survey data. That's lower than during wars, financial crises, and a pandemic. The economy isn't the whole story here. Faith in how Washington is running policy is at an all-time low, and it's hard to blame people. https://youtu.be/h0LB9PEiZ3o

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

Fuck every single person who, through action or inaction, allowed this stupid, stupid reality to come to pass.

Downey: You're known by the company you keep Blow: The company Donald Trump keeps is dictators, Jeffrey Epstein, and crooks and criminals… So for you guys have the gall to talk to anybody about guilt by association…

Could you use a LESS flattering pic of me, fer cryin' out loud

Shapiro: When he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, making $2.2 billion off his corruption for him and his kids, it costs you money. When he sits behind that desk, he’s not thinking about how to put money in your pocket. He’s thinking about how to put money in his own pocket.

Former CIA officer @mpolymer1.bsky.social tells @michaeldweiss.bsky.social why Natalie Harp’s extraordinary proximity to Trump, and reports that she resisted getting a security clearance, should set off national security alarm bells: "She has access that a foreign adversary would only dream."

ROSIE: “.. Thanks to everyone who's been watching this week, especially the hungry, hungry hypocrite in the White House. .. Most of all, I'd like to thank Jimmy Kimmel for .. reminding everyone that we have the right to free speech in this country whether Orange Voldemort likes it or not." $DIS

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: An attorney says his client suffered a brain bleed and traumatic brain injury after a violent ICE apprehension, then woke up in a hospital with no memory of what happened. His family didn't know where he was for days. Now his lawyer is demanding answers.

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

He didn’t change. They did.

Coons: "My first question to those who are on the 'leave behind' decoy plane would be, do you realize the president just isn't that into you?"

Ossoff: "They see the rebuke that is coming and fear the accountability that will follow it. They recognize the president is deeply unpopular. He's reviled. The public is awake to his corruption and self-dealing…The truth will come out. Mark my words. The truth will come out.”

God already built a wall through Big Bend — it's called the Chisos Mountains. We don't need to give billions of our tax dollars to out of state vendors. We don't need to desecrate this sacred land. We don't need this useless, disgraceful, corrupt Big Bend border wall.

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump has lost this war. America is weaker, Iran is stronger, the price to reopen the strait increases by the day, the supposed 'deal' that's on the table right now would pay Iran $100 billion a year in order to reopen the strait ... what a victory for Iran."

I have chosen one path. Sadly, you have chosen the other. That may bring you great wealth in the here and now, but you will end up poorer in the eyes of history. newsletters.democracydocket.com/my-open-/let...

Schiff: "The president is entitled to his own views about me or anybody else. He is not entitled, however, to use the DOJ to go after his political opponents. The day we say that's ok and the day we confirm an AG who says that's ok is the day the rule of law becomes merely an unenforceable idea."
