Dave Murphy

The most thoughtful and inspiring seven minutes you will spend today.

Wow! I was not expecting that.

Bill Maher said “fuck you” and called us bitches for being upset he dined with Trump. Then Trump tore into Maher on Truth Social calling him a lying, losery coward. That’s funny to me.

“He’s not even an American.” “We have a problem in this country, it’s called Muslims.” “He doesn’t have a birth certificate.” “Perhaps it would be that where it says religion, it might have Muslim.” Sound familiar to what Trump and Republicans are saying about Abdul El-Sayed right now?

Quite the Response…..

TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

This heckler is all of us ✊🏾

Listen, when I said the tent was big enough for all of us, this is not what the fuck I meant. Thanks for the publicity or whatever, but Neo-nazis need not apply.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Regarding the Catholic Priests in the photo at the WH: save the excuses. You were NOT “tricked.” You were invited…and you went. Should there be a GOD…he or she is fucking pissed at your dumb asses.

When I heard that protester in Mississippi told that man to "shove that ballroom up your fat ass!" I felt that in my soul.

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

It’s happening again. Because why wouldn’t it? Nobody was held accountable last time.

Trump: "I'm also going to be issuing a $1 million bonus or reward or whatever you want to call it for anybody that reports voter fraud, leading to the arrest and conviction of somebody. We're giving that person $1 million."

The truest thing JD Vance has said in a long, long time.

Kevin Hassett: "The affordability crisis is a myth"

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Republicans are being forced to fight for their survival. And Jeffries isn’t just talking about taking back the House, he’s putting Republicans on notice: Their voter suppression playbook won’t save them from the electoral reckoning headed their way. That’s how big this blue wave could get. 🔥

Hilarious Halloween decorations on display with a loud message for Trump and his regime! 😂

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

Early voting just crossed 30 million That’s 30 million Americans casting ballots before Election Day, while Trump’s DOJ unsuccesfully runs around trying to throw ballots out The courts are one line of defense -- the ballot box is the strongest one, & your vote is how we hold it -TN

@marcelias.bsky.social : “Mr. Blanche... we have beaten you and your team in court like a drum. So I hope you don't do what you are threatening or insinuating you might do. But if you do, I will see you in those courtrooms. I will win. And then I will dance on your head for those victories.”

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

Ohio Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy implied that Amy Acton was "flawed" because she was ABUSED as a child.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

REALITY CHECK Send this to all the clowns saying, “The prices were higher under Obama.”

🔥KULINSKI: “Who’s more responsible for your life being hell: trans people, Muslims, immigrants or billionaires? You know... 2 years of an anti-immigrant regime, is your life better? As @jamestalarico says the minority destroying 🇺🇸 are billionaires.” (H/T @marco.foster)

She’s finally starting to get it

Hope it was worth it @billmaher Trump also mocks Maher for forcing his audience to laugh at his bad jokes — guess Trump’s right about something after all🙃

Abdul punches back and doesn't take shit. He isn't a weak centrist nothing. People want fighters.

Vivek is so unwanted that his own campaign stops are ghosting him. Zeteo reports: Businesses are canceling campaign stops to avoid angry calls, bad publicity & customer backlash. A planned church visit in Westerville and a Trumbull County rally location have disappeared from campaign itineraries.

"Vote for Alex, vote for a step closer to justice for my family, vote for ALL of the victims of ICE, vote for your community and your neighbors. Alex stood up for his community so now it is time we stand up and fight back."

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

Here is the TLDR of the 9th Circuit hearing: DOJ will lose. It will be either 2-1 or 3-0. It will be on jurisdiction and perhaps on the merits. The argument was a debacle for Trump and the DOJ lawyer who argued it. Watch for details. www.youtube.com/live/EsuYPbm...

Yet another reason to vote for Democrats!

We're taking back Texas, one DJ set at a time.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump. The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power.

NEW: DOJ just admitted in court that their lawsuit against California is not about outcome determinative issues, it's simply saying that a single non-citizen voting causes the government irreparable harm. That's bananapants.

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

If you're not already, really recommend you follow @katestarbird.bsky.social to unpack the election mis and disinformation.

We saw reports of "machines switching votes" in TN & TX. These are typically real issues — a calibration problem w/ older touchscreen machines — but not intentional efforts to rig the vote. Always good for voters to check that their vote is being recorded correctly. www.cip.uw.edu/2026/10/22/e...

Check out how easy this is.

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

🚨BREAKING: A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit is hearing arguments at 4pm ET TODAY in the DOJ effort to force California to disenfranchise voters. I will go live right after the hearing concludes to break down what happened and what comes next. Tune in at 5:15: www.youtube.com/live/EsuYPbm...

Trump looks and sounds like a literal demon today

HAPPENING NOW: 9th Circuit Oral Arguments on DOJ's lawsuit against California voters. DOJ is arguing that there is massive amounts of non-citizens voting, and the harm is irreparable because once the ballot is separated from its envelope, you can't trace it to the voter. 1/
