Damn good question.

LinkedIn removed my post today for "hateful speech." I compared Todd Blanche to Nazi lawyer Hans Frank, quoting from book review: "Hans Frank, the Nazi lawyer who saw Hitler as a gift from God for the German people" Ruth Ben-Ghiat has compared Blanche to Frank. www.historytoday.com/archive/revi...

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

We'll see how far the attempt goes, even if it will clearly fail. But a constitutional system that sees such an attempt by its chief executive and then leaves him in office has already been shattered. Merely trying is betrayal enough and places him outside of constitutional or democratic legitimacy.

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

Trump and his enablers are creating tremendous downside risk

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...

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

one thing i find funny is that national political media spends untold amounts of time and energy trying to understand trump voters, but treats democratic voters as if they're functionally irrelevant to electoral politics

Furthermore—Alaska has ranked-choice voting! Anyone confused about the Sullivans can rank them 1-2, and the order doesn't matter, because the minor Sullivan will be eliminated before the final tabulation!

"Nobody knows anything." No you fucking ignoramus. We all know that Amy Acton was abused and raped and that her mother lost custody of her because the courts/law enforcement believed Amy Acton. You don't know anything because you are a fucking ignoramus who never fucking listens.

Elon Musk continues to throttle Ukraine and to enable Russian ballistic missile attacks notwithstanding supposed appeals from Trump that he stop. This is a charade to try to absolve Trump from blame over his decision to tilt towards Russia.

Turnout is surging in metro Atlanta's suburbs and other population centers around the state -- and lagging in much of rural Georgia. Republicans are worried. “We have to overperform in rural Georgia, or we're not going to win," says Rick Jackson. #gapol www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Q: The president is coming back to Georgia on Saturday-- OSSOFF: Good. It will remind Georgians of the president's failure

Elon Musk fully believes that the entire US Government is fully under his control. And he may be right.

IPEV is also superior because *any* registration issues can be cured on the spot. Not registered? No problem. Register and cast your vote same day. Tons of hours to vote, lots of voting sites, no lines, no reliance on third parties like the USPS or uncertainty over a messy signature.

Reuters: US SUPREME COURT DECLINES TO ALLOW TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO ENFORCE RESTRICTIONS ON GENDER-AFFIRMING MEDICAL CARE FOR TRANSGENDER FEDERAL PRISONERS

This never gets easier for some of us to see and we must keep speaking it out loud. #ICELawlessness

When we said women needed to vote like their lives depended on it, we werent joking www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/m...

Invasion, mass murder, rape, kidnapping of children - all fine

Texas hates voters.

These are the fourth US elections I've covered, and the Ohio governors' race has to be ugliest race within the ugliest cycle I've ever seen

The greatest challenge of our time isn’t to figure out how to get to Mars or become interstellar, but to figure out how to live sustainably on Earth.

Zuckerberg's own employees confirm that he directed an intentional effort to throw the Brazilian election in favor of Flávio Bolsonaro, apparently because he understood this is what Trump wanted. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Brb, disavowing the funk soul brother

Crazy this is not obvious to Wall Street: every democracy saw what Musk did to Ukraine last week and confirmed security need for Starlink alternative. Those alternatives will not just serve defense needs, but also be viable commercial alternatives, crushing any hope of SpaceX's monopoly projections.

A lot of non-religious libertarians during that time period often saw themselves as centrists because they weren't Christian nationalists & saw Bush 43 as a dumb yokel. They've always been anti-government ideologues who want to strip mine the state for profit--just like post-Cold War Russia.

The thing about Jan Crawford’s “diatribe” and CNN’s “heated” is, we all could see the whole exchange with our own eyes, but it suggests they’ve fucked up a lot of coverage of things we couldn’t see.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? "Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."

We've got to nationalize SpaceX. We have no choice. We can't operate our military without them and we can't trust them to serve our national interest. There is literally no other option.

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

one thing that would better position Democrats to win these tough races would be if co-founders of lavishly-funded "Democratic think tanks" cared more about winning than getting their name in the newspaper and so declined the opportunity to shit on Democratic candidates 3 weeks before election day

“Do you think that Trump is attempting to overthrow democracy?” I asked. “Because I do, and think it’s obvious that he is. And I think that the fact that mainstream media won't say it makes it more likely that it’s going to happen.”

The only topics the GOP can make gains on are those where no one understands anything because they've been misinformed on them their entire lives.

The sense of dread when SCOTUS is back in session .... What fuckery will ensue?

If there’s one photo to sum up the Trump era, this is it.

More insider trading and war profiteering from inside the White House Billions made. Investigators were then told to stand down. Off the charts corruption.

Almost like the boat strikes are just performative murder and not a serious counter-drug tactic. www.wsj.com/world/americ...

Billionaires who want to rig the rules to screw you are trying to buy this election. Don’t let them. www.reuters.com/business/med...

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.
