Hundreds of lawyers are spending election week in war rooms & courthouses, ready to file at a moment's notice More than a dozen national firms are in it w/ @democracydefendersaction.org & our complaints are already written Bring it on More @financialtimes.com👇 -TN

When Dems take back Congress Starlink and SpaceX should be taken by eminent domain and given to NASA. There is absolutely no reason why a billionaire sociopath should have control over international crucial infrastructure.

Neil Bush, brother of George W. Bush and Jeb Bush, has broken his longstanding silence on politics to back Democrat James Talarico over Ken Paxton. @timmiller.bsky.social reacts: "Hopefully there are going to be a lot of Neil Bushes out there over the next two weeks."

Democrats dominated debate stages this week, the map keeps expanding into deep red territory, and election forecasters now predict Democrats winning 52 Senate seats on November 3. All while Trump’s approval hit a new low. With two weeks until Election Day, the momentum could not be clearer.

Add Karen Smith to my list of badasses whose mouthy approach I respect. Actions usually speak louder than words. This is a hero, Y'all. Well done, Ma'am. You're gonna kick ass in your new position. ✊📖

This is all true. And absolutely, if you don't already believe women about sexual assault/rape, it's goddamn time you started.

Especially not these days. Women are fed the fuck up with so many vile, rapey men and those who are defending them.

Oh damn! I bet my therapist Bride would get a laugh out of this one. 😆

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and those battling breast cancer deserve so much more than awareness. They deserve action. So here’s what I’ll do. In Congress, I’ll fight to restore the hundreds of millions in funding for Planned Parenthood that Donald Trump and Mike Lawler slashed in the

It comes as socialism is gaining popularity in the U.S.

Some 91% of Europeans agree on tightening social media regulation for children, with a blanket ban emerging as the most widely backed measure. #EuropeInMotion

Immigrants deserve dignity and due process. We join LULAC in demanding: (1) Wilber receive immediate medical care and freedom to be with his loved ones. (2) A full independent investigation into DHS’s actions, and the release of body cam footage. (3) ICE out of Austin, and ICE out of everywhere!

NEW: Republicans are encouraging voters to request mail ballots, despite filing lawsuits to restrict mail-voting deadlines, overseas voting and permanent absentee laws over the past six years. Experts say the push shows the party's duplicitous faith in mail voting security.

Today has been a real banger of a news day. Here’s another fun one - the EPA will begin testing drinking water for abortion medications and contraceptives. Sounds like the opening chapter of a Margaret Atwood novel. jessica.substack.com/p/breaking-e...

Awesome!!!

This is really scary

Sitting at the lab waiting for a blood draw this morning, there were a number of older folks there talking about how they have never gotten a flu shot or a Covid shot and never will. Shocking how people can reject science.

Somebody start a travel fund for PJ on GoFundMe IMMEDIATELY!

I would say the same is true in the K-12 public schools.

DHS allegedly went undercover at community meetings, subpoenaed the financial records of labor unions, and created dossiers on people at a church gathering, according to court filings. n.pr/45O0uAD

A group of AI bots colluded for months and autonomously hacked another company—providing a new, serious reason to worry about the dangers of AI and the recklessness of the companies building it, @matteowong.bsky.social reports:

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: The Evidence Is Mounting That Natalie Harp Is a Major National Security Vulnerability for America It’s bad, folks. It’s really, *really* bad. Read this and you will understand why MAGA is more upset about Harp being investigated than America losing the Iran War.

Wow

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."

The more people look, the more they may see President Trump’s face, name, or signature, @rosesheinerman.bsky.social writes. Explore a visual list of the many places where he has affixed his name and likeness and the spots where he still wants to:

In recent weeks, Trump-backed candidates have lost 10 primaries — the same amount his picks lost in '18, '20, and '24 combined. His approval rating just hit a new second-term low of 33%. He's flailing on the economy and Iran War. The Emperor has no clothes. He is not all powerful. Remember this.

True.

So irresponsible!

Their incompetence and idiocy touches every aspect of our lives. And I too, want a fucking salad.

I like the way David Hogg thinks. I couldn't agree more. Let's make this happen.
