“Tech giant Meta said on Tuesday it has complied with an order of Brazil's electoral court for it to give equal treatment in its platforms to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and….Flávio Bolsonaro ahead of the Oct. 25 runoff for the nation's top job.” (IT TOOK A COURT ORDER.) 10/20/26 … 1/

I made an appearance on CBS News tonight to talk about Mississippi's elections and our work to publish accurate information on polling place changes. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2URR...

Oh yes I knew I was missing a more recent one

XX|XY are listed sponsors of the anti-trans sex verification initiative in Washington. The @thornsfc.com organization fucked up so badly letting these loud and proud bigots cross state lines to promote their own hateful agenda. #BAONPDX ballotpedia.org/Washington_I...

Here's the excerpt I think @kyledcheney.bsky.social meant to append:

Trump claims that thanks to Republicans, Mississippi's schools are "among the best ranked in the nation"

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.

Baby Putin.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

Will anyone ask Mike Rogers, Susan Collins, Darlene Graham, Roger Marshall, Michelle Tafoya, Jon Husted, Vivek Ramaswamy, Dan Sullivan, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Ashley Hinton, Pete Ricketts, Ken Paxton, Mike Collins, or Michael Whatley?

Insane. Actually insane. Let’s make his money this year a waste, shall we?

Reason number 999 we must flip the Senate: Pete Hegseth could end up there without ever facing the voters. The very definition of mediocrity failing upward — from the Pentagon straight into the United States Senate.

Does this include the “I just want to find 11,780 votes” in Georgia thing, or nah

Some hotel-related numbers:— 💰️ 33: Foreign govt's with representatives spotted at the hotel 💰️ 29: Members of Trump’s cabinet spotted at the hotel (out of 38) 💰️ 36: Senators spotted at the hotel or whose campaigns spent money there (all GOP except Manchin)

10 years ago today, Trump’s DC hotel opened. It taught him people will pay a sitting president, and there will be no repercussions. Want to understand the second term’s corruption? Start with the hotel:

What could possibly go wrong? And didn’t the pillow guy already try this?

Republican Shellie Flockhart, who called Iowa Democratic House candidate Sarah Trone Garriott "dangerous" for kids, actually pleaded guilty to endangering kids herself after authorities said she drove drunk with her children in the car in 2017.

“Part of the project of ridding ourselves of Trump, therefore, must be to rekindle our understanding of the common good and appreciation of what we owe one another as members of the same society.”

“My Catholic Latina opponent wants to impose Sharia Law” is a hilariously desperate closing message. thehill.com/homenews/617...

NEW: Press freedom groups have sued the Trump administration — alleging in federal court that attempting to bar CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House violates the First Amendment rights of ordinary citizens to access information about the U.S. government.

Gotta get rid of the humans to pay for the data centers.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

The latest Truth Social post from the president of the United States.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

Good morning with good news: Solar & batteries cut 2026 summer wholesale prices by 51% in California & by 42% in Texas, compared to 2021! CA saved $2.5 Billion & TX saved $3.55B. Retail generation cost within total retail bill fell by 10% in CA & 4% in TX. seia.org/media/18501/... #energysky

Good day.

Even before it was illegally demolished, USAID spent basically NOTHING in Latin America. He is just talking completely out of his ass as usual. This was the distribution of foreign aid in 2023. Notice that Latin America and the Caribbean combined is down there at 0.1%

One benefit of holding leaders accountable for crimes is that if Flávio Bolsonaro tries to overturn this election, he knows exactly where he’d end up. In prison, next to his father.

This just hit the @reuters.com wire: BRAZIL'S LULA REELECTED PRESIDENT IN RUNOFF VOTE, DATAFOLHA PROJECTS

62% in, and Lula is up by over 1%. I dont expect he’ll give up this lead

Liberty, freedom, and enfranchisement!

Jack: Ashley Moody’s trying to brand you as a radical… Nixon: Her views are definitely radical because she voted to end health care for over 440,000 people here in the state alone, and millions across the country. She’s also radical because she stole $10 million from sick kids…

Police in Delhi are skillfully using automated surveillance to suppress the constitutional right to assemble peacefully at scale, writes Tech Policy Press contributing editor Amber Sinha.

Folks…

🧵 While most high-profile SENATE Dems reported strong bank balances in their mid-October FEC filings, political action orgs & campaign tracking platforms emphasize that late-stage small-dollar contributions are critical for funding final field work, canvassing, & last-minute media buys. FINAL PUSH!

This is true. Qatar is widely believed to be the biggest financial backer of the Muslim Brotherhood.

At the Ninth Circuit in a rare Sunday argument over the request for an injunction pending appeal, Bennett says this US v. CA TRO situation is "far, far, far different than A.A.R.P. ... I don't see how we have jurisdiction." Oral argument here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIrq...
