a heavily slurring Trump lies his ass off: "Not only did Talafreako state that God is transgender, he actually said that if Jesus Christ himself came and visited the Texas legislature, Jesus would be promoting sex changes for little children."

Big Oil buys off Congress. No action on climate. Big Pharma buys off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. But we can begin to course correct by electing leaders on Nov. 3 who represent the people, not big money. Let's get it done.

It's not just California: The Trump admin just asked Washington state to set aside ballots received from more than 400 people it claims are suspected to be registered to vote without U.S. citizenship.

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

Trump just threatened to withhold federal disaster relief from North Carolina if the state votes Democratic in the midterms. Let me remind you again: no president in history has politicized and weaponized natural disasters the way Trump has.

Pete Hegseth was confirmed 51–50 on a JD Vance tiebreaker. One more Republican with a spine could have stopped him. Hakeem Jeffries can vow to "run him out of town," but the time for that was before Hegseth openly turned Iran into a holy war. Remember that in the coming weeks.

Between 2015 and 2025, at least 15 children in an Idaho faith-healing sect died of treatable conditions. State law allows that to happen: Parents who say their faith prohibits giving their children lifesaving medical care can’t be prosecuted.
