BREAKING: Nearly 3000 voters in one Georgia county haven't received their absentee ballots yet, putting them at risk of missing the Election Day deadline to vote by mail. They're asking a judge to order the county to overnight their ballots to avoid being disenfranchised.

In a joint letter to Mark Zuckerberg, ranking members of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees wrote “corporate censorship of political speech raise[s] serious concerns about Meta’s dedication to ensuring free and fair elections.”

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.

🚨BREAKING: A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit is hearing arguments at 4pm ET TODAY in the DOJ effort to force California to disenfranchise voters. I will go live right after the hearing concludes to break down what happened and what comes next. Tune in at 5:15: www.youtube.com/live/EsuYPbm...

And Anton has separately written with Jim Tankersley our NYT colleague based in Berlin a piece about talks with Putin to push Europe to start buying Russian gas again--a proposal that would turn years of American energy policy upside-down www.nytimes.com/2026/10/17/u...

Most surprising moment of this reporting effort was when we pressed the Russian energy company to concede it was financing a US gas project in Alaska, which has promoted itself as a patriotic push toward U.S. energy dominance.....

And then the Russian company, presented with the evidence we had gathered, acknowledged in a statement: Yes, we are moving to take a large stake in the Polar LNG project in Alaska. Story was nailed. A bit hard to follow with all the names. But this is confirmation. Had not been previously disclosed.

The Trump administration has signed an oil deal with a Venezuelan energy baron who has faced money-laundering investigations in three countries. ProPublica reviewed a copy of the 18-page agreement.

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.

Ummm…👇 Have you seen this?! Stella is Dolly Parton’s sister, btw. As credible a source as they come. THE CHEATING HAS ALREADY BEGUN. BEWARE. AND. VOTE. 😎🇺🇸✨

The state of Israel (not AIPAC) is running ads and videos in Iowa, as the midterms near. The ads/videos feature footage from Trump's America 250 festivities, a clip of a Trump White House flyover, and video of Mike Huckabee, who won Iowa years ago. New at @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/why-is-isr...

Israel — not the Israel lobby, AIPAC, but the state of Israel — is running TV ads in Iowa: @andrewperez.bsky.social @zeteo.com

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

The US economy is about 12 times larger than the Russian economy and per capita output is six times larger. CA, NY and TX surpass Russian output. It's a minor economic country. But Trump only wants to match the scale of theft and dictatorial, oligarchic rule of Putin, the people be damned.

The “every accusation is a confession” thing is maybe overstated but when it comes to Republicans and “sharia” it is unquestionably the case that the people trying to impose their religion on others through the legal system in the US are not Muslims bsky.app/profile/qasi...

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Fair Q

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: No Kings organizer Ezra Levin SOUNDS ALARM after Meta suspended the movement’s Instagram during nationwide protests. LEVIN: “We might be seeing something similar from Meta in our country right now.” “We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime.”

Russia is cooperating with Iran. So why is Trump cooperating with Russia? Like the diesel deal, this decision is a gift to the very forces attacking our service members.

Marjorie Taylor Greene comes out with a statement opposing the raid on Ilhan Omar before Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democratic Party

This judge is not fucking around 🔥 Trump bulldozed ahead with cutting down hundreds of trees at the historic East Potomac Golf Links, despite a federal judge’s warning. She ordered work stopped & warned: “If that order is violated by as so much as two seconds, there will be contempt proceedings.”

Overnight, this Eastern ICE charter landed in Senegal, a likely fuel stop, and has now landed in Sierra Leone, a likely third-country removal. This will be the fourth TCR to Sierra Leone. Migrant passengers have been shackled for at least 13 hours. There are likely more stops.

3. There are also major conflicts and inconsistencies with Zacharia's narrative of her professional career, including her time as "General Counsel" for a California non-profit.

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, says she is a lawyer. She has claimed to be a lawyer repeatedly on national TV, on podcasts, and on social media. But there is no evidence that Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law.

Notice that law enforcement aren't removing the guy who punched her. Also, last time I checked, free speech is allowed at public events, even if it's unpopular with the crowd.

The biggest lie we’ve been told is that we don’t have the power to change anything. This isn’t about Republican vs. Democrat. It’s about the rich and powerful becoming trillionaires while they try to wipe out the middle class. Let's get out and win Florida! #AngieForFlorida

BREAKING: ICE over the past year investigated hundreds of nonprofits across the U.S. that help people register to vote. The internal documents, obtained by the Democracy Forward, showed that ICE's investigative arm also contemplated sending undercover agents to investigate the organizations.

Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."

This is beyond embarrassing.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Swell. Plotting their next insurrection.

Maybe kash patel is going to Russia so he can find an oligarch to pay for his wedding too.

The corrupt gangsters running this government violate the law daily and use government funds for partisan politics to bribe voters in violation of the law. Trump has been emboldened by a rogue Supreme Court which has given him immunity and taken a blowtorch to the Constitution.

"Local community activists and faith leaders from Louisiana and beyond marched and prayed Thursday at the fenced-off barracks and trailers at the airpark site where the Trump Administration is preparing to open a privately-run facility to hold children..." religionnews.com/2026/10/02/a...

Former Wash Post reporter: Also, I'd add that the Washington Sun has had a mighty impressive debut. Lots of meaningful reporting.

Five Russian drones and missiles violated Moldova's airspace and exploded inside the country today. ​Moldovan police shared the time and location of each explosion. ​It is only by luck that no one was hurt.

Voter registration deadlines are SUNDAY in Alaska, Rhode Island, South Carolina. And MONDAY in: Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and *Texas*. If you live in these states, verify your registration now, literally.

UPDATE: Despite being ordered by Judge Sullivan to produce a certified list of the contents of the Administrative Record by Oct. 1st, Todd Blanche once again has decided he doesn't want to comply. I explain why Blanche would want to avoid producing this court-ordered info: youtu.be/junhrisxRlg?...

Good news: Wilber Garces Perez finally had surgery to remove the bullet that was in his back for 11 days. It took far too long, and it's more proof of ICE cruelty. But we kept up the pressure, and Wilber got the care he needed. Speaking up for our neighbors works.

Brent Taylor is scared to debate “people like” me. I’m your candidate for Congress who is fighting for TN-09 to have affordable healthcare, a lower cost of living, and no toxic data centers. Brent Taylor is running for Trump. That’s the difference. Election Day is Nov. 3rd.

We need a stock trading ban & data center moratorium now. Trump traded millions in Microsoft & SpaceXAI stock while hyperscale data centers damage communities. Rich are getting richer while working-class & poor folks can barely afford gas & groceries. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Susan Collins is always horrified by the predictable results of her own vote, which means Mainers who genuinely care about Susan Collins should elect Troy Jackson as he won’t vote for things that wind up upsetting Susan Collins, unlike Susan Collins

Interviews with more than 30 current and former employees reveal the agency is now tightly controlled by Mr. Kennedy and his associates, and its scientists are finding it increasingly difficult to do their jobs effectively. (Some spoke on the condition of anonymity because of a fear of retaliation.)

If we promise not to bring an iced coffee into a job interview, will you promise to pay us a living wage?
