There's so much else wrong with this stupid lawsuit but on this specific point: despite being "busy" with "lives" and "jobs," Alaskans were able to spell M-U-R-K-O-W-S-K-I when they reelected her to the Senate as a write-in candidate in 2010 after she lost the GOP primary.

Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan? JD VANCE: People are busy. People have lives. People have jobs.

It's not just racism. There's fascism too. The Trump administration now considers Flavio Bolsonaro an honorary white South African. (White South Africans are 98% of the recipients of refugee status during Trump's second administration.)

In response, has the Trump White House appointed him "GOP director of youth outreach"? (Or is that still Matt Gaetz? Dennis Hastert is no longer with us.)

Voter participation by noon today in Israel was already at its highest level since 1973. This election is on track to have the highest voter participation in Israel's history. Not a great sign for Netanyahu. People don't typically vote at record levels when they're happy with how things are going.

Au contraire. Mohammed bin Zayed allegedly voted for Kushner. With money. Lots of money. You don't need any other kinds of votes, if you're an unregistered foreign agent in the Trump family.

Greg Abbott's Musk emails "intimate" and "embarrassing". Were they comparing notes on underaged girls Epstein supplied them? Or was it just, you know, Texas GOP bribey/graft stuff?

CALL TO ACTIVISM@calltoactivism.bsky.social

🚨 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."

Maybe Jared should just have Mohammed bin Zayed buy all the copies in existence. That would probably cost less than the prior alleged $700 million bank transfer. 🤷‍♂️

Simon & Shuster has responded to Jared Kushner's threats by accelerating the release of Matt Cole’s Princes and Thieves, with the book now available for purchase two days early (today). Buy your copy immediately. www.status.news/p/jared-kush...

Imagine single-handedly destroying the brand value of a company as its part-time CEO, and then persuading the board to give you a compensation package of $1 trillion for doing that.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Here are the sponsors behind the disgusting ad from Vivek Ramaswampy attacking Amy Acton and mocking her childhood sexual abuse. Let them know what you think! #Pinks #ProudBlue #OneV1

📌Early-voting is HEAVY in North Carolina. How many have voted? 2026: 1,380,451 2022: 1,027,331 Who's voting? D -- 41% R -- 24% U -- 34% 2022: D -- 39% R -- 31% U -- 29% NOTES *Women are outvoting men: 769,526 to 610,925 *Black vote: 195,805 in '22 -- 315,925 in '26. All great signs for Dems.

GOP strategy consultant: We need to move the discussion away from Epstein and all the evidence that you participated in... Vivek Ramaswamy and J.D. Vance: What if we doubled down on siding with child rapers and attacked victims? Consultant: Trump: Yeah. Go with that.

Elon Musk: Maybe I'll turn Starlink back on for Ukraine. But first you have to send Marco Rubio back to Cuba. Trump: Okay.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "We'll take care of Cuba on our way back from Iran ... those beautiful ships, they'll pass Cuba. We'll have one of them stop about 50 yards off the coast. They'll raise up their hands, and then we're gonna send Marco Rubio in."

Almost no one has this kind of enthusiasm to vote for the corrupt Republican status quo. Blue wave. 🌊

Dude. If you brag about passing this test, that means you're flunking the test.

Trump: "The first one is they show you a lion, a bear, a snake, and a giraffe. And they say, 'Which one is the giraffe?' I got a perfect score."

What a surprise. (Narrator: Not actually a surprise. Her nickname is Eva Braun, because she loves effing Nazis in power.)
