Trump with each new wackier threat. Entering the Dr Leo Marvin zone

The Kremlin intelligence psyop that has been poisoning American politics for decades is literally burning. Ukraine removed all the Russian bots on social media just in time for the US midterm election. Ukraine really is defending the entire free world! Thank you, Ukraine! 💛💙 x.com/youranoncent...

Reminder: If you’re an eligible voter in Pennsylvania, you can vote safely and securely by mail this November. Pass it on — and visit pa.gov/vote for more information.

Mike Rogers is a corporate sellout who moves back to Michigan every few years to run for office to take another swing at the revolving door of corporate politics.

Yes, yes we can

@cjzero.bsky.social can we get that Messi goal tonight in Columbus? Incredible

To every Latino and Latina across Pennsylvania: I’ve got your back.    And I look forward to walking side by side with you as we keep making progress for our communities.

My goodness, what an incredible moment. After Justin Verlander secured the final out of his career, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch came out of the dugout...to summon Verlander's daughter out to embrace her dad on the mound.

Cornyn voting for Talarico

Today we all wear 21. 🖤💛

Someone owes Ossoff an apology

Wow! Go Hamilton!

Raised an eyebrow at Pittsburgh using Perrin Barnes as the deeper left-sided player in their possessive back three, but you see the upside here: the Riverhounds force Loudoun around the edge, use Barnes' athleticism to create an interception, and let Sam Bassett do the rest from range.

NEW: It's SCOTUS time for ICE's mass detention policy, which has been met with overwhelming rejection at every level in the courts: from more than 460 district judges and nine federal appeals courts. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...

Who could have predicted such an outcome

To be fair to Ken Paxton, he missed a lot of other verses in the bible too

I’m ashamed this man represents me

"As immigration increased, businesses and economies invested more in capital, such as equipment, technology, and other resources that enhance workers’ output. Immigration was also associated with increases in workforce skills and broader improvements in productivity." [Jeffrey Miron, @cato.org]

@steelarmy.bsky.social what is happening at the end of the riverhounds game?!

Wicked good serve from Charles Ahl here, you can feel Pittsburgh knocking on the door in Miami. The more they're able to work through lines into Sam Bassett and activate the Ahl and Goldthorp types one-on-one, the better off the Riverhounds will be.

Donald Trump if he isn’t interior decorating

NEW from me: The right says migrants are culturally incompatible with democracy. But those who choose to move to free states actually tend to be their biggest admirers I wrote about Justin Gest's new book on rising immigration from illiberal to liberal states www.theargumentmag.com/p/democracie...

#BREAKING: In the League of Women Voters case, Judge Talwani (D. Mass.) has issued a temporary restraining order freezing the USPS Final Rule on mail-in ballots from going into effect for 14 days (while the parties litigate whether she should enter a preliminary injunction blocking it indefinitely).

Am I doing this right?

Nothing has changed here in Pennsylvania for November's election. Despite the President's repeated attempts to undermine our Constitution, eligible voters in Pennsylvania can safely and securely vote by mail — and I'll keep fighting in court to protect our state election laws.

We've arrived on Bluesky! We hope you will follow along as we share inspiring, motivational and exciting content about the achievements and individuals that have been awarded a Nobel Prize. Stay tuned.

Seems not good

@sarwark.org I figured you’d appreciate this at least

Trump has lost 38 points of white working class support in under two years

Ossoff: I'm trying to make sure that folks in Georgia know the truth about this administration. And apparently in the White House, the truth hurts.

GO BUTLER, PA! Democrat Brandon Dukes appears to have FLIPPED a house seat beating Timko by 88 votes in a special election. Trump won the district by 19. The last republican rep won it in 2024 by 30 points. Rs outnumber Ds 2 to 1 in the district. butlerradio.com/dukes-upsets...

It depends

@daveweigel.bsky.social I listened to your interview with @timmiller.bsky.social on the @thebulwark.com …I wasn’t quite clear on your Talarico take…are you saying yes he has a chance but pump the breaks?

It has been tried, and it fails every time it's tried.

"For conservatives to make an honest claim to Tolkien, they need moral realism and clarity in their choice of leadership, not authority without justice, certitude without humility. Such attitudes are nowhere to be found among the tech right."
