The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

Bernie Sanders: "If you believe as I do that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States, we need to get rid of that rubber stamp Republican leadership in the House and Senate."

Bernie Sanders: "I know conservative parents want to raise their kids to be honest, not to be bullies, not to lie and cheat all of the time. If we want to raise our kids to be honest, not to be narcissists who think the world revolves around them, then we need to hold Donald Trump accountable."

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

It’s a subject that makes a lot of people uncomfortable and calling them corrupt and evil is easier. But the truth is that Republicans have a rape problem—one that they celebrate.

Given the shift in media ownership over the Trump era, Democrats REALLY need to learn to ignore media handwringing now. Because I have no doubt their every move for accountability will be attacked from every possible angle.

Goldman Sachs can fuck off forever

Q: “Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?” TRUMP: “You’re a fresh person. A horrible little reporter.” Trump lashes out at another female reporter @albamonica as she asks about Trump’s support for Vivek’s disgusting attack ad weird Epstein’s bestie wouldn’t care about abuse😕

Pouring more cash into his super political action committee in early October, Elon Musk has now given over $445 million in the current U.S. election cycle and become one of the biggest-ever contributors to such groups.

Wish we had a national ad like this because the damage is way more widespread than Texas.

Wow! Make Amy Acton governor. “I am making a promise to Ohioans...that no one in my state will ever, ever be invisible to me."

Two points I want to make about this: 1. Democrats should immediately threaten to deport Elon Musk and Melania Trump for *actual* immigration fraud once they retake power. Don't @ me about how we're not like them. Do politics. Make the threat. Force Republicans to react and defend their decision.

Allegations of sexual misconduct against AAU coaches are handled by a board whose names are not made public. Asked about written guidelines for when to ban coaches, a former board member said the group “just decided on our feelings.” (Published August w/ @washingtonpost.com)

Iowa out here with the abject humiliation of state. Rocks for brains republicans

Protestors have gathered at the Alex Pretti Memorial for tonight's march demanding justice for all victims of police and ICE violence.

Congress needs to investigate the living conditions in ICE detention facilities.

Hegseth’s staff broke Eisenhower’s globe. The symbolism is too much to bear. (And of course, they ignored the TRAINED EXPERTS WHO HANDLE HISTORICAL ITEMS. Because EDUCATION? EXPERTISE? WHO NEEDS IT?….im going to get some coffee…)

Jon Stewart on Mike Rogers: “He was a real pain in our ass in 2010 when we fought for the Zadroga Act for 9/11 first responders. He called it a New York problem and voted against it, all while claiming to respect the heroes of 9/11. It was all bullshit.”

Lander says dozens remain in Israeli custody after being detained while helping Palestinian farmers harvest olives.

Si bien cada año unos pocos ejemplares de ballena aparecen muertos en la costa, la multiplicación de los casos ha generado alerta entre los científicos, que anticipan que este será un año trágico. Estudian los efectos de una bacteria y de la “marea roja”

One thing that consistently marks the Hegseth Pentagon is total indifference towards the physical well-being of US uniformed personnel abroad and their dependents. The situation on Bahrain is a striking example of this. www.ms.now/news/militar...

NEW: Hegseth's chaotic secret evacuation of a US base in Bahrain left military families in harm's way. “They’re not telling the truth. They’re not telling the full story. They’re not telling how much damage there really was." www.ms.now/news/militar...

This ad & Ramaswamy's doubling down speaks volumes about his character. To lie about the abuse Acton experienced is abhorrent. To use the abuser is despicable & sadistic. If this is how he behaves on the campaign trail, imagine his depravity with gubernatorial power www.axios.com/2026/10/21/r...

Just hours after Trump publicly claimed Russia was doing “little” to help Iran, Moscow reaffirmed its full support for Tehran, with Foreign Minister Lavrov describing Iran's fight as a "just cause." #EuropeNews
