Didn’t think the ad could become more despicable. And yet.

Talarico: "If you've seen an attack ad on your TV, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos. That was Elon too."

70% of young voters now identify as Democrats or lean that way — a 15-point jump from just two years ago. Those are Obama numbers. Young voters always lead the way. Now, please vote.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam opened up a Cheesecake Factory" Obama just spoke to an ELECTRIC audience in Ohio, skewering Trump & Hegseth and making the case that while we may be stuck with the same POTUS until 2029, we are not stuck with a spineless do-nothing Congress Highlights:

The US economy is about 12 times larger than the Russian economy and per capita output is six times larger. CA, NY and TX surpass Russian output. It's a minor economic country. But Trump only wants to match the scale of theft and dictatorial, oligarchic rule of Putin, the people be damned.

NEW — A federal filing shows Enough Promises Ohio spent $1,581,354 to boost independent socialist Greg Levy and oppose Democrat Sherrod Brown in Ohio’s Senate race. The PAC used a vendor tied to Trump’s MAGA Inc. network, per the AP.

Donald Trump wants to sabotage the midterms. Today, millions of Americans will make it clear that’s not happening. Find your local No Kings event and join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.

This is about Ilhan Omar. But it's also about control, intimidation, & authoritarianism. The message is: we can do this to a member of Congress; no foreign-born American is safe. The administration is using fear as a tactic to discourage people from voicing opposition.

Ohio, it’s going to take all of us to win. Now is the time to get in the fight. Cleveland. October 24th. Join us.

I’m proud to stand up for hardworking Ohioans, and I’m honored to have @barackobama.bsky.social support our fight to help working people get ahead.

This week on @podcastlikeits The 1990s Patreon I continue our 90s Ethan Hawke miniseries by talking Before Sunrise with Katie McGrath & Tom Mison! We discuss all things The Before Trilogy, Richard Linklater’s work and all the reasons this is one of my favorite films ever.

Trump, Vance, and Republicans are terrified of policies that curb their own wealth and power, and the wealth and power of the oligarchs that bankroll them. That's why they're amping up the fearmongering about "socialism." They've run out of cards to play.

At the risk of aging myself, I'm going to start this with... Back in my day... This brand of blatant, up-front corruption would have been a major news story. He's literally buying votes. Where have you gone, Woodward and Bernstein?

October 2, 2026

Don’t get complacent. They’re still going to try to cheat. Check your registration. Vote early if at all possible.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

NEW AD: Listen to this sh*t.

September 28, 2026

NEW: This week SCOTUS greenlit a flawed database for the Trump administration to purge voters from the rolls. While some claim the impacts will be minimal, it’s a good bet some red states will work with Trump to purge as aggressively as they can get away with.

September 26, 2026

Please don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision today Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes cannot be made to voter lists! Yeah it's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal with it. More to come...

Somehow our Street Fighter (1994) episode ended up on a tangent about the Babe director being a literal doctor, and whether Hugh Grant deserved an Oscar nomination for Paddington 2. (He did.) @pmiscove.bsky.social #DoesItHoldUp

🗳️ HEADS UP OHIO: Voters who want to register to vote while applying for a driver's license will now be required to provide proof of citizenship. Voters who register through other means will only need to sign a statement, the lone dissenting judge explained: https://demdock.com/4xOunfV

[ATTENTION OHIO VOTERS] The last day to register to vote in November is October 5th in Ohio. Already registered? That’s also the deadline to update your registration if you’ve moved. For more information, visit: www.ohiosos.gov/elections

1. I don't think "Natalie shows the president some cable news clips and he gets mad" is a good way to do national security policy. 2. Trump does not "cherish" the "Free Press," he loves outlets that praise him and despises critical coverage. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Now that @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s brilliant @250to250.bsky.social project has concluded, I’ll share all the videos (one per day) for which I wrote scripts. Some were recorded nearly word for word; others underwent much-needed editing for clarity & brevity. Up first: Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Can't beat Iran in a war, can't stop gas and diesel prices from skyrocketing, can't make people like him, but he CAN try to ban news outlets from the White House so here we are.

🚨NEWS: Vivek Ramaswamy states he would vote to "significantly constrain and attach work requirements to most of the welfare state," explicitly highlighting Social Security and Medicaid.

Today is National Voter Registration Day — and we're less than 50 days from the midterms. The best time to check that your voter registration is up to date is right now. And remind your friends and family to do the same. This is absolutely vital. ⬇️ https://nationalvoterregistrationday.org/

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.

This week on @podcastlikeits The 1990s Patreon Tom Mison, Katie McGrath and I continue our 90s Video Games miniseries by talking Mortal Kombat! We discuss all things Earthrealm, Outworld, Goro and why female action heroes must kill men between their legs. Spoiler: It’s sexism.

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

The clownish rituals at the Trump cult gathering shouldn't distract us from the plain fact that he led his followers in a pledge to cheat in the midterms. He used the word "cheat."

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨 While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

🚨http://VoteSafe.org is run by Elon Musk’s America PAC. It is not an official government voter registration platform. Do not enter your sensitive voter information into it. Spread the word. #gotv

I respect Lonnie Bunch enormously. He has done stellar work as a historian, on so many levels. His absence is indeed terrible news -- for the Smithsonian and the country.
