Senior delegations from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey met Iranian officials in Tehran to prevent another escalation. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the conflict in Yemen and the risk of renewed military action remain major concerns. The talks do not mean a deal has been reached

The U.S. federal budget deficit reached about $1.99 trillion in fiscal 2026, while debt exceeded $40 trillion and interest costs hit a record. Higher revenue has not kept pace with spending, narrowing future fiscal flexibility

Can’t make it to protest at the No Kings rally today? You hold a greater power by being able to vote. Hillary and Kamala, both lost because democrats didn’t vote in big enough numbers! Vote, or you have no right to complain! Pass it on

Trump’s campaign “red state blitz” is turning into a traveling disaster. Hecklers, angry voters, Vivek’s disgusting ad, Ashley Hinson’s weak-ass embrace. Republicans are supposed to be closing strong in red states. Instead, they’re unraveling and the backlash is becoming the story.

Norway: "I didn't get the Nobel Prize so I don't want anybody from Norway. I don't want anything to do with Norway…Frankly, Norway sucks. Norway has become a shithouse country, actually."

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won reelection Sunday over conservative Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro. The result showed voters in Brazil declining to join the region’s marked rightward shift. https://wapo.st/4BstJHK

Vivek is so unwanted that his own campaign stops are ghosting him. Zeteo reports: Businesses are canceling campaign stops to avoid angry calls, bad publicity & customer backlash. A planned church visit in Westerville and a Trumbull County rally location have disappeared from campaign itineraries.

Solar is booming.

Trump being abusive to a woman again.

Abdul El-Sayed last debate: "My opponent here is gonna make this about him and about me, but really in the end this is about you." Mike Rogers tonight: "My opponent's gonna try to make this about me versus him, but I'm gonna tell you this is about you."

A strong woman standing up for another strong woman in the face of an amoral man is a wonderful sight.

A victory for ordinary people & a rebuke of the Trump admin & Elon Musk, the billionaire it put in charge OPM had no business giving DOGE data on tens of millions of people @democracydefendersfund.org, EFF & partners stand w/ AFGE & federal workers. Full statement 👇 -TN

Neil Bush, brother of George W. Bush and Jeb Bush, has broken his longstanding silence on politics to back Democrat James Talarico over Ken Paxton. @timmiller.bsky.social reacts: "Hopefully there are going to be a lot of Neil Bushes out there over the next two weeks."

This is obscene. Politics are disgusting.

WTAF? We just mark our ballots here. I got a ballot and dropped it off myself.

Lowest approval since Truman is pretty fucking impressive. I think we can do better, though.

Nothing to see here....

JD Vance: "There's no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the government than Donald J. Trump."

Join @pennbarker.bsky.social and @michaeldweiss.bsky.social as they cover JD Vance's defense of Vladimir Putin. Tune into their conversation:

Vance: "I've never once heard Vivek Ramaswamy complain about somebody being mean to him. I have never once heard Vivek say, 'You know what, they ran a very unfair TV advertisement against me.'"

Steve Witkoff called Vladimir Putin a humanitarian. @pennbarker.bsky.social can think of a few other words that better describe the Russian president: “This guy's one of the biggest human rights abusers on Earth. He's a despot. He's a terrorist.”

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

like vance, ramaswamy is a hateful, resentful orc of a human being, and the reason i think this will hurt him politically — where this stuff didn’t hurt trump — is that ramaswamy, like vance, is also profoundly unlikeable. he has no charm or charisma or anything. just a dipshit.

When asked about Vivek’s ad against Amy Acton, Vance says he is “disgusted.” Not disgusted by the ad, but disgusted by Republicans who objected to the ad. bsky.app/profile/atru...

BEST feeling ever! My husband and I both voted Blue down the ballot. Do it for your children, your grandchildren, for democracy! Your vote matters! 💙 #StrongerTogether 💙🗳️💙
