Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea.
I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there.
I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…
No. Your attitude has to be that absolutely nothing will get done. If you’re trying to “pass common-sense legislation to help the American people”in this environment you’re a fucking traitor.

Does anyone tthink the smartest reporters in DC don't know Trump is building a dictatorship? Of course they know. The question is why they won't tell the public loudly and clearly.
there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...
If Israel was hoping the election results would undo the worst crimes committed under Netanyahu or redeem the country in the eyes of the world or show any meaningful appetite for change at all (other than Bibi-fatigue) it doesn't look like that's happening.
NEW from DSM: The University of Oregon has confirmed that the Turning Point USA chapter— which is due to host an event on campus for the first time in years tomorrow—is violating trademark policy by using the UO Duck in their social media.

“It's not the first time I've had someone that thought they were better than me talk down to me.”
“Actually it IS about a cord of wood. People can't afford to heat their homes.”
Husted: "The president is coming in tomorrow again to Ohio. Don't worry, I was in the weight room this morning working out. I don't want to let him down."
McAllen, Texas. This person was fortunately able to get inside his house before ICE goons could snatch him. You can hear one goon say, "I'll get you!" at the end. 🖕all these gestapo losers.
BREAKING: In a blistering order, Judge Hinderaker details how the Trump admin only has done anything in the case of Ahmed Soliman when ordered to do so.
As such, he now orders DOJ to address each of the 11 steps he sees as being needed to bring Soliman back to the U.S.
“As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States.
The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio .
From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.” - Simon Levy … WTF???? 1/
How is it that another credible rape allegation and multiple assertions of further wrongdoing emerge about the president the week before an election and no one were to care? New concessions to the Russians? More revelations about his family Russia ties? About Kushner Trump corruption? How? How? How?
While Trump is busy defending his White House decorating, wages are not keeping up with inflation.
Republicans have no interest in making your life more affordable.
I say it plainly: I do not celebrate Castro. I call Cuba what it is, an authoritarian regime, and I will fight for the Cuban families who fled it.
Meanwhile, Ashley Moody backs deporting Cuban families back to the regime they escaped.

Between the US Secretary of State tweeting out an invitation to join a "discrete partnership with the CIA" to overthrow Cuba & the Prime Minister of The Only Democracy in the Middle East desperately tweeting "Help! Too many Arabs are voting!" …I feel like maybe we're done here
WATCH: “The solution is YOU END THE WAR— J.D. Vance and every Trump official talks about the war is if it happened through forces of nature, and they didn’t consciously make the decision to go to war and raise our gas prices on purpose.” ⛽️

This is a profoundly salacious story about the 21st century’s most notorious pedophile and this is the NBC headline, where the subhead is Trump’s denial
NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report.
Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.
Reporters who have access to people like Vance, I beg you:
The necessary follow-up is "That's a pretty serious charge. Can you give us A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE of El-Sayed expressing 'anti-white racial bigotry'?"
Asking for specifics from people like him is a magic accountability tool. Use it!
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.
The MAGA media ecosystem has been telegraphing the playbook to subvert the midterm election. The L.A. mayoral primary exposed its tactics. As @johnknefel.bsky.social noted in our collab with @mmfa.bsky.social, we're now in Stage 2: The attempt to takeover elections calmatters.org/commentary/2...
For my last Better Win a District, I wrote about TN-09. Republicans gerrymandered Memphis, the Blackest city in Tennessee, out of a seat in the House.
Or at least they tried. Then along came Justin Pearson.
Now TN-09 is a real fight.

🚨 BREAKING: Travis County judge granted Gina Hinojosa's request to inspect Greg Abbott's unredacted Musk emails.
Judge Mauzy set Thursday 10 AM as the DEADLINE for Abbott to let her see them.
Abbott tried to keep them hidden, calling them "intimate and embarrassing."
The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Beatrice Keul, testified that she was introduced by Jeffrey Epstein to Donald J Trump, who then brutally raped her in a hotel room in Atlantic City, NJ, and her claims were deemed credible by a panel of the House Judiciary Committee today. The NYT has decided that this is not reportable news.
Cary López Alvarado is a U.S. citizen, born in LA She says ICE goons kept speaking to her in Spanish and assuming she was from Mexico, even after she told them, again and again, that she was born here and speaks English.
She was 9 months pregnant when she was detained by ICE.
The central issue in the US election and elections worldwide is corruption writ large-a system that only works to serve the rich at the expense of everyone else, a system in which politicians and the rich are in bed together and yet screwing the rest of us. Affordability and corruption are the same.
JEFFRIES: “.. we’re going to hold him accountable in the same way that we held Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem accountable. .. And Pete Hegseth needs to be pushed aside by the president, or we’re going to have to deal with that situation if he is not.”
