El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

whoa... the current map of "No Kings: Vote Early" events planned for tomorrow, sat oct 17: www.nokings.org

U.S. president supports Communist Putin over Democratic Ukraine, but still has the audacity to call the Democrats in his country communist.

“Gifts to Putin will not bring peace or any benefit to the civilized world. Russia will ‘repay’ the diesel with further terror and perfidy.” —Volodymyr Zelensky about Trump’s insidious diesel deal that helps fund Russia’s murder campaign www.americaamerica.news/p/another-be...

Twenty-two days away from the midterm election, another politicized “investigation.” Straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

“GOP’s message to immigrants: Be white and (conservative) Christian, or America 🇺🇸 doesn’t want you.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Many, many more people associated with Trump have been doing this for quite some time. It’s an industry. And it should be investigated.

BREAKING: Willie Nelson endorses James Talarico: “I've gotten to know James Talarico. He's a good man, who will be a good senator for the state of Texas. Please vote and vote for James Talarico.“

Donald Trump is using fear and panic as a weapon — putting families at risk, undermining our economy, and terrorizing communities.   No President is above the Constitution. No one in this country is without rights.   California will stand up for our communities and hold federal agents accountable.

Mad king’s minion strikes again. 😖

A disgrace to the post.

While Congress sits on its hands, California is leading the nation on AI safety. I'm issuing an executive order to accelerate third-party oversight of frontier labs and calling on world-leading experts to report back on proposals like "kill switches" for models.

I'm in love.

Donald Trump's idea to buy your vote with $5,000 checks is another pathetic scheme from a pathetic man. If Republicans really want to put money in Americans' pockets, they can pay us back for the $108B+ in extra fuel costs caused by their failed war with Iran.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social: Only Trump could deliver Kash Patel’s bestiality madness into a Senate hearing room #LastWord

Today, Kash Patel insisted to a Senate committee that FBI staff fired from an Iran counterintelligence unit were technically “not experts.” They were.

The Ukrainian military is one of the most innovative fighting forces on earth, and its people are even more remarkable. That's exactly why our commitment to them matters more than ever. I review my full trip at the link below in the comments, give it a listen and a read!

Best line of interview: “Paxton’s rap sheet is as long as a CVS sales receipt.”

Huge crowd 🤣 😂 😂

Before I was a politician, I was a proud union member. I’m honored to stand with my union brothers and sisters on Labor Day and every day. In the Senate, I’ll fight to raise pay, lower costs, and empower Texas workers.

New reporting reveals Ken Paxton accepted funds from multimillionaire investor Phillip Huffines. The Huffines family purchased Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch after his death.

The government of the United States of America. The idiots are in charge.

Gas and diesel just hit the highest prices ever for a Labor Day weekend - a direct result of this president’s decisions. It doesn't have to be like this.

She was a “Social Pioneer” in the way H. Richard Niebuhr meant it.

TEXANS, VOTE FOR TALARICO!

On Sunday, Trump posted an AI video that showed explosions rip across an oil field on Kharg Island. Kharg Island is real. The war is real. The video wasn't. Here's why that scares me, as the first sitting GOP congressman to call for the 25th Amendment in 2021. (Link below)

The court will hear oral arguments as part of a dispute over whether fossil fuel companies can be held liable for their role in exacerbating climate change.

The number of people in the Guard/Reserve that have reached out to me have grown quickly after this article was published. Our strategic reserve is going to have a major retention problem and is being burned down. www.adamkinzinger.com/p/special-re...

Abdul El-Sayed: “Canadians are like the only people in the world who are going to preemptively apologize for something they didn't even do. So if you're starting a trade war with Canada, it's because you're the asshole.”

Some of Ken Paxton's scandals so far: —Offered an admitted child molester one day in jail after he repeatedly raped a young boy —Impeached by his own party on 20 counts of corruption, bribery, abuse of public trust, and obstruction of justice

It’s darkly funny that the administration is so intensely stupid that they think this will quell the data center backlash, instead of making people even madder.

There will not be another like the Queen of Country, Dolly Parton. Her music spoke to millions across generations, including in our family.

Trump won this tiny Texas town by 40 points but they showed up for Talarico 👀 Beeville, TX is fired up for @jamestalarico.bsky.social, Gina Hinojosa, and Bobby Pulido.

“Last spring, I warned that America is trying to break us so they can own us. And I promised that that will never, ever happen,” Carney said. “We are keeping that promise. Canada is becoming stronger and less dependent on America.” www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

Trump has a positive approval rating in precisely 3 out of 50 U.S. states: www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I’m a Talafreako!

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Trump isn't just making life harder for working Americans, he flat-out doesn't care.

Journalist Katie Phang has asked the court to fine Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche $1,000 per day until he turns over all the files.
