Justin J Pearson’s republican opponent sent unsolicited dick pics to multiple recipients when he was as old as 53. He admits to it, but calls his behavior “youthful indiscretion” and a “distraction.” www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

@padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov We need CA senators to forcefully and publicly denounce this latest outrage. Impeach Blanche. Impeach Mullin. Impeach Trump.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.gov

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

And yet, every single Democratic member of Congress and every progressive organization (except @indivisible.org) still uses X as their primary method of breaking news. The pro-democracy movement really needs to boycott X.

Musk has funneled more than $276 million into Republican groups and his PAC since July, building a huge turnout operation for the midterms. “The staggering amount of money makes Mr. Musk, the richest person in the world, by far the largest known donor in the midterms” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

In this Ohio diner, Hilbert Space is where you look in the newspaper for the cartoon strip about the guy in the office. But they do know this: the math guys never should have trusted companies that were into DEI.

Clear explanation of the breakdown in the Canada-US trade talks. Featuring Trump's bad faith and Canada PM Carney's calm and firm response.

Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social

“Everybody has been waiting for somebody to test whether ‘no’ is actually an option. Carney just tested it. He didn’t do it with a cheap shot or stunt. He offered the Americans everything reasonable, let them poison the deal themselves, and then documented what they did & why it was unacceptable.”

I'm loathe to share this man, but this one is personal. My masters thesis was on the MMR controversy, so believe me when I say that this path of separation of the MMR will result in nothing but increased sales of too-small coffins, and children with life-altering medical conditions.

Trump: "The MMR I think should be taken separately. This is based on what I feel."

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.
