Led my colleagues in calling on the IRS to release long-delayed data showing how Congressional Republicans H.R.1 impacted millions of people’s tax returns. The public has the right to know who is benefiting from this bill.

Both can be true at the same time - they are both lying.

BREAKING: BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia's strongman leader Aleksandar Vucic has conceded defeat to a student-led movement in a seismic political shift.

Republican farmers found out the hard way. The smart ones will learn from their mistake and join the #BlueWaveIn10Days.

"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. .. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage .. But nothing flourishes in that world." This is very well articulated A fascinating read:

Sternenko is a credible person. Elon Musk has been found to have a pathological disregard for the truth and repeatedly gives perjured testimony under oath. Who would you believe? In any event, the truth is easily discernible through objective means.

ABDUL EL-SAYED PUSHES BACK ON QUESTIONING OVER MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

New in PN: In defense of empathy "Being aware of other people’s feelings, sensitive to them, and able to put yourself in another person’s shoes is pretty much essential for humans to function as a community. But the current conservative project has zero room for that sort of thing."

It’s Truly Exceptional….

NEW: Elon Musk invests about $1 billion in Skydance that owns CBS news and CNN. The goal of course is for Musk to have domination of the social media and legacy media. Musk must be stopped. He's a threat to our nation and the world. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/22/e...

🚨Ex-GOP political strategist Steve Schmidt has called for the “immediate removal” of Donald Trump’s son-in-law from “every diplomatic assignment” following an explosive report alleging that Jared Kushner secretly had access to roughly $1.75 billion in Gulf money while serving in the White House.

Elon made a mistake by stabbing Ukraine in the back because now everyone is looking for alternatives to doing business with him knowing he can't be trusted

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump are responsible. Hint, they both are!

AOC: "They call people communists, they call them this or that. But really what it is is they're afraid of a waitress in the House and a logger in the Senate"

All these so-called “independent” Republicans will go right back to voting for Johnson as speaker, confirm every Trump nominee, vote with Trump on everything, and continue doing zero oversight on his corrupt regime. A vote for any one of them is a vote to continue all of that.

James Tallerico goes after Elon Musk on Twitter. 👌

“It’s so much worse than people realize… we are sitting ducks…” Service members and military families share accounts/photos/videos of being attacked in Trump’s pointless war, as leadership fails them, and hides the truth. (From @MeidasTouch) meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

It is already a federal crime to send troops to a polling place. Trump knows that. Ten states are preparing for him to try it anyway. Make every member of Congress say it out loud before Nov. 3.

Conservative judge Luttig also warned about what Trump and the Republicans have planned for January 3rd and another attempt to steal the election, which they have already begun setting up. newrepublic.com/article/2151...

100% this and proud to have @lydiakauppi.bsky.social on our team.

I'm a doctor and a dad. I rebuilt Detroit's health department, led Wayne County's Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services. We put glasses on kids, took on corporate polluters, eliminated medical debt. It just shouldn't be this hard to get by in the richest country in the world.

BULLSHIT

It’s a clear conflict of interest for the Trump Administration to have their own lawyers represent immigrant children against their own deportation machine. We have two demands for Secretary Kennedy: (1) Drop this absurd plan (2) Restore independent legal counsel Now.

If Husted appears with Ramaswamy after the latter doubles down on the most reprehensible ad in memory attacking Acton for her childhood abuse it should end his career as well. You cannot be fit for office and go along with this. www.axios.com/2026/10/21/r...

⚠️ Thousands of North Carolina midterm ballots are set to be rejected. Why? State Republicans passed strict new mail voting rules right before a crucial deadline. It’s a stark example of how GOP-backed voting restrictions can directly disenfranchise eligible voters: https://demdock.com/4zcjqpC

Disgusting.

Won’t post the videos. But know that due to starlink hiccups, Russians are hunting people in cars, executing them with jet drones in Kyiv.

It's time to defund Elon. robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

It’s exhausting to wake up every morning and see what new hell Trump has triggered while his GOP enablers applaud or stand idly by. Please vote so we can start the necessary accountability agenda.

One thing about this vile video Republicans are circulating featuring Amy Acton’s mother. It is not an ad. It is an online smear campaign. An ad is required to have a disclaimer at the end, revealing who paid for it and creating a modicum of accountability. This video has no disclaimer.

Where the hell is Schumer on the midterms? Dis he pass away? At least Hakeem is out there rallying the troops. But Schumer is MIA. Time for change. Repost if U agree.

Ossoff: "What worries me right now is complacency about this race in Georgia, overconfidence about this race in Georgia. There's no such thing as a landslide victory in the state of Georgia. This remains the crucial battleground state."

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

I met a Minnesotan who paid $18,000 out of pocket for dental surgery because Medicare just doesn't cover it. Your eyes and teeth are part of your body. It's time to expand Medicare to cover vision and dental - then get to work passing Medicare for All.

Here is a better idea: Give the whole thing to NASA and kick that meddlesome dork white supremacist back to South Africa.

Well, you can't expect a random reporter to understand the Constitution. I mean, it's not like she's CBS's chief *legal* correspond-- (finger to earpiece). Oh. Oh no. OK, yeah, that's bad.

Happy Sunday, everybody. Vote 🗳️

fuck i just realized my wife has never disavowed the muslim brotherhood

First, Thomas Teepell is not a voter. He lives in a different state. He was a political plant. Or, if you will, a paid protester. He is an agitator. Second, Abul El-Sayed responded with more patience than most people could muster. Calling him an angry, overly defensive jerk is you projecting.

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

Hey Ambassador Huckabee A) Who attacked her? B) What country are they from? C) What army supports them? D) And with whose tax dollars? A: Israeli Terrorists B: Israel C: The IDF D: ours 🇺🇸 You’re welcome
