Talarico: This is the last play of the last drive. This is the moment we leave it all on the field. We are the underdogs. It’s David versus Goliath. It’s the powers that be versus the powers that ought to be, and it’s time for us to start flipping over some tables.

As Texas’ top legal official, Ken Paxton has defended some of the country’s most restrictive abortion laws — under which several pregnant women died because they couldn’t get the care they needed. He could soon join federal anti-abortion efforts.

Our nation is in grave danger. But across America I’m seeing stirrings of a giant backlash. People rising up and hitting the streets. People getting out the vote. Our fight — for democracy, the rule of law, social and economic justice, and decency — is gaining ground. I believe we will win.

Ohio, let's do what we can to elect @amyactonoh.bsky.social as your next Governor and @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social as your next U.S. Senator! They’ve dedicated their lives to fighting on behalf of all Ohioans.

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández credited our reporting as the catalyst for the Justice for Citizens Wrongfully Detained by ICE Act. We revealed that 500+ U.S. citizens have been detained in warrantless arrests since Trump returned to office.

If 98% of a country steals for a living and drive Mercedes, who are they stealing from? This is more made-up nonsense and thinly disguised racism.

Nothing to see here, folks.

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

The FT is the fuel for democracy's advance: "Scored according to [the trump administration's] own rationale, the first half has not been a failure, which almost guarantees the second will be no less dangerous." giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Monet described his interest in water and reflection as “an obsession.” In 1908, he wrote: “I hope something will come of all this effort.” His Water Lilies series would go on to become a core icon of the Impressionist movement.

When the people I represent call, I show up. Keep staying loud, Oregon.

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.

TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny. He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers. From the ProPublica archives:

Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section. (Published March)

NYPD arresting an ICE goon for trying to steal someone off the streets of NYC. RESPECT!!!

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

The corruption that is putting money in Trump's pockets is costing all of us.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

Trump is trying to force Ukraine's surrender. That would be a tragedy and a huge strategic error. I'll be damned if it happens while I have anything to say about it.

Best way to fight back? Vote. Minnesota: You can vote now or cast your ballot by November 3.

NEW: A week after ProPublica reported how organized crime is stealing food stamp benefits — aided by the government’s refusal to update benefit-card technology — the Department of Agriculture announced plans to adopt more secure cards with microchips.

This appears to be an attempt to intimidate Oregon voters. The fact is, our vote-at-home system is safe and secure. I am grateful to SOS Read for his leadership and for his clarity of communication to Oregonians that our elections will remain fair and true.

Why is Trump making so many concessions to Russia now? I think it's three things. #HighStakes
