FOX NEWS: What do you tell voters who say cost of living continues to be a big challenge? MIKE COLLINS: It's a challenge because of Ossoff and the Democrats and Bidenomics

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Not everyone worships the same God, dearie.

This is such a stupid thing to say. Because if it were true, we wouldn't need a Constitution and Bill of Rights written by humans. And every country would have had the same Constitution and Bill of Rights from the beginning of time.

JD is reprehensible as always, but I’m struck by Todd Blance, he looks like a Halloween ghoul! His flesh and soul are rotting before our eyes.

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

YIKES -- Trump loses his shit at a reporter for the third time during this Q&A -- "Wait wait -- Quiet. Quiet!!!! What's wrong with you? Are you a SICK person?"

I think that’s the danger when you act in terrible bad faith to manufacture controversy by misinformation.

Patrick S. Tomlinson@stealthygeek.bsky.social

Between the Amy Acton mother hit piece and the viral "Tommy" plant getting horsewhipped for six minutes straight, I don't think I've ever seen the GOP's smear machine self-sabotage so fast. Just own goal after own goal this week.

This is crazy talk-what happened to the Golden Rule? Love thy neighbor? Welcome the stranger? Mercy? All fundamental Christian tenets!

Very organic to pay big money to spread confusion and lies! The bad faith is breathsuckingly disturbing.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Yes. This is disgusting. The Trump admin manufacturing the evidence to support their conspiracy theories of widespread non-citizen voting. They arrest a tiny number of people (arrests crafted to draw attention), at least some of whom having no idea of the crime they’ve been accused of.

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas calls to investigate Republican President Trump's Aid and Comfort to Russia/Putin. Zelensky confirmed Starlink continues to disconnect above 161km/h - Ukraine can't intercept Russian drones, and tests outside Ukraine border show the sabotage is willful.

Trump on what his fans could do with their $5k Trump check: "Let's go to Palm Beach and enjoy the president for lunch. Let's have lunch at Mar-a-Lago, where for $5,000 you'll get one hamburger and a small dessert."

Is this a confession?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump suggests he is going to pardon everyone, including himself: "I'm allowed to do a self-pardon ... I don't want to see people that work for me go through years of nonsense"

"shouldn't be this hard" is an all-encompassing, feel-it-in-your-bones summary of modern American life -- of difficulties big and small, existential and annoying -- that should be at the core of every Democratic candidate's message for years to come.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

El- Sayed: "Here‘s the thing about it – no matter who you are, how you love, how you pray, how you identify, it just should not be this hard... Shouldn‘t be this hard to keep our money here. Spend it on roads and bridges here, build our schools here, provide healthcare here. Shouldn‘t be this hard"

Why have him on, Chris?

Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars No individual should be able to disrupt military ops like Musk did with Ukraine’s. I wrote that when he did it in 2023. Was told the problem was contract rules. Nope. Happened again. The problem is too much power, esp for an enemy of democracy.

thedailybeast.comThe U.S. Government Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in WarsThe billionaire’s interference in Ukrainian military operations shows he’s a national security risk. No private citizen should have that much power.

Remember the mysterious trades on oil back in March/April that were perfectly timed to Trump's announcements, netting the traders millions of dollars? Well a CFTC official referred the matter to the enforcement dept...then a Trump goon told the CFTC to squelch it. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Trump just fell for a FAKE Denzel Washington endorsement, sharing a fabricated quote claiming the Oscar-winning actor called him the smartest and bravest person he’d ever met. Even more embarrassing? The exact same fake endorsement has been attributed to Matthew McConaughey and Mick Jagger.

Ah, she’s crazy.

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

One key point @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social makes here is that if Dems win the midterms (and win in 2028), deploying congressional power creatively to unwind Elon Musk's sway over the government (contracts, etc) will be essential to any reconstruction: www.ms.now/opinion/elon...

A grandmotherly protester gets kicked out while flipping the double bird, and other notable moments from the Trump rally in New York -- including Trump making genocidal threats against Iran and then in the very next breath whining about not winning the Nobel Stick around for Mike Tyson at the end

Have some dignity, Sir.

Adam Keiper@adamkeiper.com

In a new Truth Social post, Trump explains why he should have received the Nobel Peace Prize—writing entirely in the voice of a man being forcibly removed from a Cheesecake Factory. Really unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize laureate.

Hegseth on Nidal Hasan: "He's gonna get a firing squad of soldiers. As it should be. We'll make sure that people are able to watch it. That it's public. Because people need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things."

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports
