Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

Israel committing genocide in Gaza despite ceasefire, UN commission of inquiry finds

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Seeing how little coverage that house report that added another rape accusation to Trump's tally got today, I looked back on just the front page Benghazi stories (there were many, many more inside over these months).

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.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

We have never seen anything like it before. Proven Meta and U.S. interference in the first round; now this criminal voter suppression in the second round. The far-right loves calling corruption when they themselves are against democracy when it benefits their side. This is torturous to watch.

The next 10 days will test our democracy. Trump hasn’t been able to suppress votes systemically like he wanted to & now there's a lot going on, especially in courts. Get caught up on what you need to know now, like recent developments in California and Alaska. joycevance.substack.com/p/trumps-las...

Michigan, let's make history in nine days.

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

A lot of dictatorships try to make these kind of arrangements when things go south. Important to remember there are other kinds of criminal, civil and reputational accountability pardons can’t touch. And if you’re pardoned you have no 5th amendment rights.

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

Someone tell Donald Drumpft and James David Bowman it’s time to go.

Tommy Tuberville pledged in 2020 to donate his Senate salary to Alabama veterans & families. An investigation found no evidence he did. The pledge is worth roughly $1 million. Asked about it, he had staff remove him, then called the media socialists and communists. www.huffpost.com/entry/tommy-...

Andy Biggs wants to be governor of Arizona. He spent weeks telling people the election was stolen. They believed him. They came to the Capitol. He has never answered for his part in it. www.standingourground.us/p/i-went-to-...

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.

Zuckerberg firmly against this just because it slightly inconveniences him, but also certain once he points out that it slightly inconveniences him everyone will stop asking him to do it.

Please vote, nobody knows wtf is going on anymore and the lies have the bit between their teeth.

🚨🚨🚨 Q: Is there any scenario in which DOJ would try to block states from certifying the election? AG TODD BLANCHE: Yes, of course. It is not DOJ's intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process, but ...

“Departures from these practices should never be countenanced because they risk allowing prosecutors to impact national elections.” -Todd Blanche on DOJ’s 60-day rule, September 2024

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."

NEW: The Trump administration committed the U.S. to taking a large stake in a Venezuelan company, some of whose owners and investors are shielded from public view. The exact details of the agreement over oil fields had remained unclear — until now.

Elected Democrats need to have Slotkin's back here because the last time she made a pretty routine call for accountability—namely, by reminding servicemembers to ignore illegal orders—Donald Trump took to social media to suggest that she should be executed.

AI shouldn't be able to fire you, fire a weapon, or deny you healthcare.

Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas. But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.
