"I believe in my heart of hearts that we’re going to show up, en masse, on a mission like a goddamn SEAL Team, to bury these fascist motherfuckers in a landslide deeper than the bunker below that ballroom Trump can shove up his fat ass." @chriszappa.com gonzoreport.substack.com/p/160?utm_so...

USPS workers’ greatest concern about Trump’s mail voting plan was a requirement that they reject ballots for an array of reasons. “That’s not what we do. We deliver mail. We don’t decide what goes and what doesn’t.”

Don't forget this. Too many have.

It's Groundhog Day for idiots ...

As Palestinians attempt to harvest their olives in the occupied West Bank, reports of violent settler attacks are escalating. MeidasTouch's Suri Crowe just returned from the ground—and what she witnessed deserves attention. Watch the first in her exclusive reporting series.

In the last few weeks, the Trump admin has: 🔺 Tried to stop California from counting 20k ballots 🔺 Preemptively sued Alaska from certifying results of a key race — if the Republican loses 🔺 Inserted itself into Michigan's election That’s not all. Here's how it's already meddling in the midterms 👇

You're lying to yourself people. There is no gas price problem. There is no grocery price problem. According to this Republican mouthpiece, the affordability crisis you think you're seeing with your own eyes and your own pocketbook is a myth. 🙄

A new video from the @lincolnproject.us calling out Vivek Ramaswamy's vile ad against Ohio gubernatorial challenger, Dr. Amy Acton. #vilevivek youtu.be/hRmEh_pc0pE?...

Copy and cartoon by @anntelnaes.bsky.social "The narcissistic, nazi-saluting, richest man on earth is doing his damnedest to determine the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections."

That's what happens when close to 100 million people refuse to participate in democracy and stay home on Election Day. Don't do that shit on November 3rd.

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

"Racism explains a lot of it. Money explains a lot of it. Psychosexual compulsions do too." Nobody can quite explain it all:

📊 A new poll reveals voters overwhelmingly reject Trump’s election-meddling tactics. Voters were given potential scenarios outlining how federal or state officials might respond to the 2026 election process. Overwhelming majorities disapproved of every tactic: https://demdock.com/4yIGP19

Carving pumpkins is a Halloween tradition. Mike Valladao has turned it into a joyful form of art.

A judge recently said she was “furious” and “beyond disappointed” as she grilled Trump’s DOJ over whether they lied about plans to overhaul a historic golf course in D.C. It could signal that the “presumption of regularity” days are coming to an end: https://demdock.com/47VYRlH

In state election boards & county offices, GOP officials have been closing polling places and making it harder to vote. The bet is that enough people will get tired, give up, and stay home. But this month, a group of college students made it clear that their gamble will backfire. (link in comments)

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social

Over half of all mail ballots spoiled in North Carolina’s largest county are due to new strict rules passed by the GOP-controlled state board of elections. The county is also a Democratic stronghold that could sway election results in the battleground state.

Trump and Vance are cheering on Vivek’s attack ad against Amy Acton. But what do Trump voters in Ohio actually think of it? @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social put the ad in front of Ohioans who voted for Trump in 2024 but have since soured on him in her latest focus group:

NYT reports Trump called Musk to ask him to restore full Starshield service to Ukraine. This, after previous reports they'd colluded to throttle speeds that slowed Ukraine's use of drones for defense/attacks. Republicans, why are these two harming a democratic nation to aid an authoritarian one?

Would suggest this dynamic is a hallmark of all poorly-run organizations

NEW on @zeteo.com — Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his bus tour across Ohio in the closing days of the election. “We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.” From @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social:

Obama rips into Ramaswamy over attack ad: ‘There’s no line he won’t cross’ www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Donald Trump is like The Picture of Dorian Gray. He's every broken promise, treaty, every underhanded overthrow. He's End Game Capitalism. He's disgusting, devoid of any human emotion beyond his insatiable greed, his self-aggrandizement, and his lust for young girls. It can't come soon enough.

New survey: 83% of nonreligious Americans see empathy as a core moral value, compared to just 42% of white evangelicals. If compassion threatens your religious worldview, perhaps the problem isn’t compassion. religionnews.com/2026/10/20/a...

"When your dog drags its ass across the carpet, what’s left behind is called a Ramaswamy." - Stephanie Evanovich on Threads #vilevivek

NEW: Trump is already working to undermine the midterms, most ominously by filing lawsuits likely aimed at laying a foundation to challenge results or contest certification after Election Day. And administration officials say there could be more to come. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A beautiful obituary for Noah. @nytimes.com @npr.org www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/b...

“It is a microcosm of the broader Trump agenda: professing support for the vulnerable while shielding their abusers.” @crampell.bsky.social on Trump’s embrace of Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad:

Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

MAGA came around on the Ramaswamy ad. What a struggle it must have been. ICYMI @willsommer.bsky.social:
