The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

We really need to start talking about the need for criminal prosecutions of public health and infection control leaders spreading misinformation about life critical respiratory protections. They are no different than those spreading anti-vaccine misinformation and must be treated accordingly.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

The “protect the vulnerable” disinformation doctors are mad that anyone tried to protect the vulnerable.

Consequences for election interference. What a unique idea.🙄

“BREAKING: Lula Calls for Arrests of Brazilian Mayors Who Cut Off Bus Service on Election Day” 10/25/26 … 1/

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

it is my deepest and most fervent wish that the tech oligarchs suffer consequences for openly allying with fascism the world over maybe we can extradite zuck in 2029

Abdul punches back and doesn't take shit. He isn't a weak centrist nothing. People want fighters.

Gift 🎁 link: since Jan. 2025, Trump has "exempted 202 facilities in 39 states and Puerto Rico from clean-air regulations that were going into effect. Some were among the country’s worst industrial polluters, including chemical manufacturers, copper smelters and... 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

I’m sick of headlines treating these forays as something done independently. No. Anthropic created it. Anthropic did this. And they should be held to account, not some supposedly autonomous AI www.reuters.com/world/us/ant...

Serbia ✅ Brazil ✅ United States 🤷

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

Here is the TLDR of the 9th Circuit hearing: DOJ will lose. It will be either 2-1 or 3-0. It will be on jurisdiction and perhaps on the merits. The argument was a debacle for Trump and the DOJ lawyer who argued it. Watch for details. www.youtube.com/live/EsuYPbm...

Elon Musk has spent over $180 million on the Texas senate race. “There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator,” James Talarico said. www.americaamerica.news/p/how-long-c...

I was chatting with my elderly neighbor recently (in his 70s) I asked if he got his Covid and flu boosters for this year He replied that he is taking a break because of all the negative things he is hearing about vaccines This is exactly how disinformation works

Yep

Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.

The Writers Guild on Musk blocking releasee of the documentary "Musk": "A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, and social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration over our news and media threatens democratic discourse."

Todd Blanche wants us to shove the Jan. 6 insurrection into a vault as ancient history alongside the Tilden-Hayes Compromise of 1877. But it was only 5 years ago that Trump tried to steal an election!

The fascist GOP needs to lose. Both houses. Vote.

“ @mark-ungrin.bsky.social believes N95 masks should be worn in all hospitals, the spaces where people are often the most vulnerable or have a higher chance of spreading disease. ‘why aren’t we doing more of this in health care facilities?If it doesn’t get inside you, it can’t make you sick””

NEW: Blanche claims DOJ's Alaska lawsuit doesn't seek to block certification of the state's election results. The actual complaint says it does. His attempt to reframe the lawsuit is a bid to push back against how it's been correctly interpreted: a dangerous effort to subvert the midterms.

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

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

The Republican Party is giving us cancer. The New York Times doesn't say it that directly, but its investigation proves it.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

US executives quit as Trump turns control over massive Alaska energy project to Putin underlings. The former chief executive of a $25bn US gas export venture says Russian energy giant Novatek was given control of the project by Trump, triggering a mass resignation of company leadership

I really don't think most people appreciate how much damage air pollution does to our bodies & brains. Even in the last 10 years the science has progressed a ton & everything it has discovered is *grim*.

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

RFK Jr is salivating at the prospect of it ripping through the population.

So witkoff/kushner toadie sell out negotiations involves cutting Russian companies in on US energy deals? Are we giving Alaska back to Russia?

In addition to throttling StarLink and StarShield to allow his friend Vladimir Putin to strike Ukraine with ballistic missiles, the other thing Elon Musk does every day is sit at his keyboard and write slanderous things about James Talarico. He's utterly deranged.

In the back of the drawer I found the watch that I lost at the start of the pandemic, and so I kept digging and so I kept digging to see if I could find the other things that I lost at the start of the pandemic, but (alas) my faith in other people wasn’t in there.

Meanwhile in Utah: Bird Flu Is Raging on a Mink Farm. It Could Spark a Human Pandemic, Experts Say, but Officials Won’t Act. www.propublica.org/article/bird...

Filed 12 days before Election Day, Trump’s DOJ is claiming in an unprecedented lawsuit that Alaska voters may be confused by two Dan Sullivans on the ballot. Their solution? Set aside the results of the Senate race if anyone other than the Republican incumbent wins:

Massively undercovered story given the serious pandemic risk this H5N1 outbreak in a US mink farm poses. Utterly insane that the public health reaction here is to shrug our shoulders and essentially do nothing. Yet another way the US is a menace to the rest of the world.
