Drumpf's Turd Reich is a crime syndicate. @cnn.com @cbsnews.com @nytimes.com @wsj.com @washingtonpost.com

Did you know that when a newborn comes to the ER for dehydration, the ER puts a catheter in them to test for bacterial infection and kidney issues? I hope you never have to experience the screams of agony of your sick 10-week old baby getting a catheter. For “just a cold.”

I don’t think we should get used to a man this wealthy, this full of hate and this willing to demonize a small minority having so much power in our economy and in our politics. To defend democracy, we must defeat the oligarchs.

Serbia had over 70% turnout, they won. Brazil also had over 70% turnout, they won for democracy. If we have a 70%+ turnout … game over Let’s do this !!

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

"[N]early half of U.S. adults have an immediate family member who has been incarcerated ... [The] essays show us that, in this age of so-called 'trauma-informed prisons' and 'mental health jails,' prison is — by nature — not healing, rehabilitative, or safe. It is not trauma-informed; it is trauma."

So Lula not only won, he basically doubled his margin of victory from 2022. I'm guessing he won thanks to voters who didn't love him, but were terrified to see Flavio given near-dictatorial power. It's going to be a messy next chapter for Brazil, but at least it'll be a fight, not a curb-stomping.

Yup, this tracks.

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

The writing isn’t on the wall yet…..but this is certainly what the writing on the wall would look like lol

At least 18 rural Alaska early-voting sites listed online have not opened, prompting a Democratic lawmaker to demand answers. The villages are key to Democratic hopes. The closures leave remote voters without early-voting access they were promised before polls close. www.rawstory.com/midterm-elec...

here, write it down so it’s easy to repeat: an illegitimate supreme court allowed an insurrectionist barred by the 14th amendment to take office and his pardons aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on

"[SCOTUS] has blinded itself to the very deleterious effects of their rulings ... and has created a democracy that doesn't work[.]"

festering piece of shit.

We need to tax Silicon Valley, this is a whole Senate campaign of money to decide one House seat

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

waymo representative sent to a city of minneapolis event can’t give a real answer about their vehicles utilizing bike lanes or not when this is a known PR issue for the company and we are one of the top biking cities in the country it’s talk of safety for the people inside the waymo only

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Todd Blanche won't rule out trying to block states from certifying midterm results. Asked whether the Trump DOJ might try to block a state from certifying results, Blanche said: "Yes. Of course there are scenarios that we could all come up with hypothetically. Some doomsday scenario, for example."

Back in July, I analyzed the immigrant detention data to find that over 600,000 people have been booked into detention since the start of the Trump administration. By the end of the admin, this could reach 1.75M people. The scale is appalling. austinkocher.substack.com/p/over-60000...

Trump escalates his campaign of judicial intimidation.

Spain said NO to empire.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Demonstrations initially sparked by Jared Kushner’s plans for a luxury development have escalated into a serious threat to Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama. ft.trib.al/m1BNLqN

Last week: We revealed that Trump immigration agents have detained more than 500 citizens This week: House members introduced the Justice for Citizens Wrongfully Detained by ICE Act The bill's sponsor, @fernandez.house.gov, says our reporting was "the genesis" fernandez.house.gov/news/documen...

how does ohio boy vance keep walking right into the buzzsaw of one of the midwest's most Ancient Tribal Hatreds. dog no one in michigan cares what your OSU ass has to say

Texas sued after glitch delays almost 600,000 voter registrations

Americans remain largely pessimistic about the future of Democracy, politics and the major parties

NEW: In a win for student voters in New Hampshire, the First Circuit ruled to allow election officials to consider student IDs as evidence of a person's identity when registering to vote or voting in the midterms. However, the court upheld the state's broader ban on student IDs for voting.

It would be nice if elected Democrats start speaking up about the regime seeking to nullify the will of hundreds of thousands of voters in the city where masked armed agents did street executions in front of cameras

Trust me: whatever you’re doing right now is less important than watching this candidate interview. No spoilers, just trust:

finally got a decent view of the swinford townhomes in loring park, some of the most unique and pretty multi family housing in minneapolis. it was barely spared when 394 came in and they don’t even have vehicle traffic in front, just a sidewalk and the highway (which used to be hawthorne park)

"[O]ver 4,260 measles cases have been reported in the U.S., 1,152 of them from Pennsylvania alone. ... [T]he vast majority of people who have tested positive for measles are unvaccinated, with only 3[%] of cases affecting a person who has received the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) shot."

The GOP candidates for secretary of state in Arizona and Nevada would be in charge of election administration. Both think the 2020 election was rigged against Trump.

Round them up

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee has launched an investigation into alleged jury nullification initiatives led by @freedcproject.bsky.social and @harrietsdreams.bsky.social, reports my @washingtonsun.com colleague Jenny Gathright: www.washingtonsun.com/metro/house-...

Getting fired by this White House for being too unethical. It’s like being suspended by the ‘86 Mets for doing too much blow.
