‼️putin wants to reduce NATO to its 1997 borders during negotiations regarding Ukraine: this would mean the withdrawal of Alliance troops from Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland, which share a border with russia, – The Telegraph.

Reminder: Trump and Netanyahu ready to reignite war with Iran days before Israel's election. Netanyahu wants a war to save his political career, with Trump willing to explode global gas prices again, kill more Iranian civilians and put US troops, allied countries in harm's way to help him.

Here in CA-06, we’re fighting to flip this seat, and I am grateful for the support of @adamschiff.com.

This was always going to happen. My guess is that Trump will issue a blanket pardon for every political appointee. Signaling a move like this will embolden his underlings to disregard and break the law. And that's the point.

Teething causes teeth.

The ad features an estranged mother that has had no contact with Amy Acton for decades. They last interacted when she was 12. If you are using her as a character witness that means you are calling a 12 year old girl a liar. From the NY Times:

TRUTH 👇......

There are lots of smart people who make bad decisions. 

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

A new book alleges that Jared Kushner moved money from a secret Gulf-funded bank account to a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man. #Blues www.rawstory.com/jared-kushne...

Todd Blanche is making clear that the entire purpose of this prosecution is to influence voters during an election. There is no law enforcement angle to it. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Statement from Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas: “I will not be intimidated. I will not be bullied. And I will not back down.”

This is kind of rude but I like it. "Religion is like a penis. Is fine to have one, it's fine to be proud of it. It's not okay to take it out and wave it around in public. Or to try to force it down my throat!"

Neil Bush: “I see in [James Talarico] the qualities I admire most in public servants: integrity, civility, humility, and a willingness to listen to those with whom he disagrees... a principled, pragmatic leader who understands public office is a responsibility to serve, not an entitlement to power.”

Disgusting. We need to pass my No Robot Bosses and Stop Spying Bosses Acts now to put an end to this weaponized surveillance and union-busting by machine.

ICE arrested a 56-year old green card holder, i.e. a lawful permanent resident, and detained him in the Rio Grande Processing Center, where he died. www.texastribune.org/2026/10/19/t...

In 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that under the Fourteenth Amendment, states must provide lawyers to criminal defendants who cannot afford one. But throughout many states, the rosters of public defenders have been shrinking at an alarming rate. From Stateline buff.ly/ybhsaSn

In other words: “You brown people should be grateful to live in a country where the vice-president calls you weasels in public”

Will any reporter ask the President of the United States to name the five specific states where he alleges that public school teachers are deciding -- all on their own initiative, over the objections of the parents -- to force their children into gender-affirming surgeries? Seems like a big story?

West Side Story!

Due to a new GOP-backed law, Tennessee is revoking driver’s licenses for immigrant residents who have LEGAL STATUS to be in the U.S. People are just trying to get to work and provide for their families. GOP is sabotaging our economy b/c they want to torment immigrants. 🎥 @attorneymartinez

UNEARTHED: Ken Paxton caught on video partying with fugitives in Dubai. The fugitives were charged with healthcare fraud and helped bankroll Paxton’s campaign.

🚨Holy shit. Residents in DEEP RED Tennessee are fed up with Trump’s economy: "Things cost 4 times what they was a year ago...It's awful... They said these tariffs are gonna bring prices down. They're not." This is BLEAK news for Trump. #RepublicanAffordabilityCrisis

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) is being accused by a local baker of skipping out on a bill for nearly $700 in cookies during his last election.

Time for Halloween decorations

Denying people adequate housing, food, and medicine is quite effective in eliminating them. 

This is the plan and we all need to be ready for it I would only add this: SCOTUS will defend them at every turn and declare the coup is legal

$6 BILLION. Of taxpayer money. While the Hunter Biden hunters stay silent. Obscene.

Susan Collins is showing just how out of touch she is. “I spent a whole year without health insurance…in ‘94” That was 3 decades ago, Susan, when insurance was $1500 annually… Thanks to Susan’s vote that helped pass Trump’s murderous budget bill, premiums are $1500 a month now for some folks.

Greed is bad

🎯🎯🎯🎯

Can't believe trump would be bribing voters after Susan Collins assured us that he learned his lesson when she voted to acquit him in the Senate after he was impeached for trying to bribe Ukraine.

UPDATED: The Trump administration’s push for mass deportations has now resulted in more than 83,000 challenges in federal court from immigrants claiming their detention is illegal. We are continuing to track the increase in these cases:

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.
