SUPER cool map that shows which party is getting small donor funds, broken down by county. There are tabs for the big Senate races too. votehub.com/2026/10/24/2...

…wasn’t like some raging liberal, they were just a normie member of the focus group who was so outraged by it that they leaked it. That is actually a good microcosm of how this ad has gone over in Ohio — but not among Dems. Among indies and swing voters and even some Republicans

East Potomac Park has 3 golf courses, mini golf, a playground, picnic spots & a road locals run & bike on Trump's plan could swap most of that for a single 18-hole course @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are in court to keep it public More @nytimes.com👇 -TN

Another day, another Trump press advisor forced to resign. Britt McHenry, a State Department press adviser who previously worked for ESPN and Fox News Media, caught on camera throwing her drink at a fan during a basketball game and blowing kisses to the crowd while being escorted out. Only the best.

I believe Amy Acton. I was 8 years old when I was victimized. Survivors need to stick together!

The Republican outrage over the Epstein files was complete bullshit. Now they openly support the behavior. We live in a grotesque and evil world. I wonder how much they paid her mother?

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.

Very pleased to share this final installment of our By The People series, a live show on reclaiming constitutional meaning for the people themselves. Much needed insight and inspiration from @staceyabrams.com and @ilyseh.bsky.social and @daphnarenan.bsky.social.

Trump’s DOJ admitted that some people on their “likely noncitizens” list will turn out to be citizens, saying, “We’re not perfect.” “They’re not perfect,” Marc Elias says, “but they are insisting that the election officials need to be.” Follow us to keep an eye on the people rewriting the rules.

"You sir, are a humanitarian, and the fact that you have murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Ukraine, Chechnya, Syria and within your own country should not detract from your humanitarianism." Dim Witkoff is another Russian asset, bared out for all to see.

Zelenskyy demands US Patriot interceptors as Russia attacks Ukraine’s power grid. He says US has restricted military support, warns of Russian influence operations across Europe, and outlines growing defence cooperation with Italy.

At some point we have to talk about how Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for far less than what Donald Trump did and is still actively doing.

Election officials in Los Angeles County say their preliminary analysis of the federal government's list of 20,000 "likely" noncitizens registered to vote in California shows the list is "unreliable." n.pr/3Ubmnrj

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.

DOJ's woeful attempt to disqualify Judge Reyes in the golf course case is rightly DENIED We will see the Trump administration in court bright and early Monday morning on our preliminary injunction motion!

Sen. Angus King says he sat down and made a list of everything Putin could possibly want from an American president. His conclusion about Trump? “This guy, this president, is doing almost all of them.” King then goes through the list. WATCH.

Obviously, a person who has broken immigration laws should not be allowed to obtain government contracts, right?

Brenden Cuni, an ICE supervisor, has been accused of excessive force and tackling a pregnant woman to the ground. Several of his arrests were later found to be unlawful in federal court. buff.ly/X56Ntfz

Gonna say it again and again until y’all get sick of me: America has become an authoritarian state.

Wut?

7 shots fired. 4 pm in afternoon. At a car with 5-year old in it. Can’t use deadly force except in response to imminent threat of death of serious bodily injury. As in, from what we know, a blatantly illegal shooting. That’s without regard to victim’s criminal record. 7 Shots Fired.

“Alive” but is he mentally competent?

President's Treasury Secretary confirms that the president's trade policies will blow up the global financial system

So creepy

David Rohde says that the major logistics problems for the Navy largely come from the fact that the Navy's chief resupply station in the Gulf of Oman was completely destroyed in an Iranian attack, and Hegseth decided to keep it secret, from the public, Congress and the White House.

Why did I write about this? One: It's aggressively annoying and stupid, so I needed to tell everyone. Two: Who wrote the language and how it got in the DOJ brief in the first place matters. Three: Note Sauer's pivot at SCOTUS stands in sharp contrast to Trump. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-trut...

If you have enough money that you can blow $100,000,000 on avoiding taxes, you have enough money to pay $100,000,000 *on* taxes that will help your fellow citizens, you self-centered prick.

Can I get an amen?

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

ICE has decided it’s now going to attack the global press, including the Associated Press (AP), because they are reporting the truth. This administration will stop at nothing to prevent the press from telling Americans what’s actually happening.

In the Trump era, the expression of such hateful bigotry is widely accepted.

😳 Kevin Hassett gets schooled by Jake Tapper 😳 Hassett's talking points about how Trump's economy is "the greatest of our lifetime" were completed dismantled by Tapper, to the point where Hassett was reduced to stammering "Right, well, okay, so, uh" by the end of the interview Here's whole thing:

I keep seeing that Conryn wants Blanche to “rewrite” the Trump tax immunity provision in the slush fund agreement. Does anyone know what he wants it to say? “Rewrite” is a lot different from “rescind.”

This.
