Well, would you look at that

Legend….in literally every way.

I think we need to realize that, while Netanyahu his coalition will likely lose, the new government will not shift to a centrist one. Security is the Israeli’s top concern and they will still vote that way, but at least they will likely remove the right-wing extremists currently calling the shots.

Democrats taking the Senate is essential to blunting the last two years of Trump, so I hope El-Sayed wins, but this race would not be close if a centrist like Stevens had been the nominee.

On another morning where news of a wicked world washed over me, this was a nice respite.

Not-as-hot-a-take as it seems: Presidents shouldn’t salute. They’re civilians. I blame Reagan.

Former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg is swooping in to help his party retake the House majority, pouring more than $80 million into the midterms over the last two months and leaving the door open to giving more before Election Day, his adviser said.

Trump has cut off intelligence to Ukraine so that Putin can more easily bomb civilians including children.

Ossoff: "Mike, who on your team advised you to raise the Epstein files? You voted to cover up the evidence, Mike…you voted to cover up the evidence…because Donald Trump told you to. Donald Trump, who, by the way, is named 1000 times in the Epstein files."

Ossoff: "You stand here and say you're going to be a champion for black Georgians when you elevate to positions of leadership in your political organization, people with ties to the Ku Klux Klan…Did you accidentally put people with Klan ties in your political organization?"

I’m pleased to report that I work with some extremely avid Jewish supporters of Israel that were planning on not voting for Ossoff, but in recent days they’ve told me they will because of Collins’ connection with these white nationalists. I can finally stop nagging them now.

We are becoming more like our ally Russia every day under the Trump Regime. Vote his Republican enablers and supporters out of office next month. Our Republic is being shredded and our credibility all over the world is completely gone.

I’m sorry but some of these people really don’t belong in our country. Celebrating Oct 7th??? You are an existential danger to all free and peaceful people.

This is the vice president's guy, no? This should be every headline, it should lead every newscast and EVERY REPUBLICAN SHOULD BE ASKED ABOUT IT.

Before he was appointed, Kash Patel was flagged by FBI counterintelligence agents as being deeply enmeshed in influence operations run by the Russians and Chinese. After he took over, Patel began systematically eliminating all Russian and Chinese counterintelligence capacity. What to make of that?

Bottoms: "My opponent has said he wants to be Trump's favorite governor…I'm not running to be his favorite governor. I'm running to work on behalf of people like you."

Tough for Paxton to dodge this one, but I think he’ll find the courage to run away again.

@ms.now statement on its journalists being denied access to the White House grounds:

"If the House is going to hold hearings and investigations of all these people anyway, then they might as well go to eleven....And by targeting Trump’s army of skanks, Democrats would put him in a difficult position."

The only mystery is why they waited so long.

President Trump claimed Friday that he is "banning" CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, "effective immediately," but there was no indication his administration had taken any steps to follow through. CNN's Brian Stelter says constitutional rights are at stake. https://cnn.it/4xwu6hi

MARTA doesn’t need anymore bad publicity, yet here it comes anyway.

When these Army generals and their staff refer to him as "No Tab Pete," they're calling out his performative masculinity. They're saying he's a little bitch. He didn't have the guts to attend these schools. He's weak. He's not a warrior. No Tab Pete. Delicious.

"It’s also not clear that Parscale will be touched by the scandal or whether it could affect his election work in Latin America." Truth in MAGA world is usually stranger than fiction.
