Fuck the consultants who are telling him that this is how he'll win. (It isn't.)

F--- this guy. And f--- Schumer for recruiting this guy and supporting him over a much better candidate in the primary Schumer needs to be removed as Majority Leader, like yesterday www.erininthemorning.com/p/iowa-dem-j...

its odd to me when liberals insist trump is executing some master plan. the latest version of this ive seen is arguing that he is propping up the acton ad because republicans think it works for them and its good to have the story in the news.

VOT has deployed $1.5M across over 100 campuses this year. And we’re not just organizing to win this election — we’re organizing to win in 2028, and to push back against groups like TurningPoint USA.

I’m appalled by how close these midterms are. How sleazy, stupid, cruel, corrupt, and immoral do Republicans have to be before people quit voting for them?

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

thehandbasket.co'Tommy' from viral El-Sayed video is former Sen. Hawley staffer with Christian nationalist tiesThomas Teepell is the son of a former long-time Bobby Jindal staffer who's close to Sean Feucht.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

If verified the next question is obvious, did the US just coordinate a military attack with Russia on Ukraine?

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

Two US officials and a Western official say Trump’s White House instructed Pentagon to slow Ukraine’s Starshield. The sabotage took effect as Russia launched 39 ballistic missiles at Ukraine’s power grid, disrupting defensive drones & military operations.

An attempted attack on a Hindu temple came amid a weeks-long right-wing frenzy over "The Indian Question"; police found a manifesto from the alleged shooter "containing statements expressing white supremacist and extremist ideologies."

Republicans bribing votes. Prosecute.

Mike Rogers’ wife is handing out $10 gas cards in Michigan while asking people to vote for her husband. Republicans made gas unaffordable. Now they’re offering $10 to keep them in power. #BlueWaveIn20Days

"Democrats are especially likely to believe he has broken the law, with about 8 in 10 saying that." What's wrong with the other 20% of you?

The facility in Ohio where Republican disinformationists say James Talarico was receiving mental health care has issued a statement saying he's never received care there. I wonder how many death threats the people there have now received from Republicans who think tHeY'rE iN oN tHe CoVeR-uP!!!!

He's right. Calling people Nazis is not what we do in this country. The result is that Nazis took over one of our two major political parties and seized control of our government without firing a shot, because they got no pushback from right-thinking people like David Brooks.

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

Is it really too much to ask to have even ONE Trump administration official go to prison for Bribery? Really? One of the only crimes enumerated in the Constitution, and we just don't enforce it? Even when we pay these people to serve us and they OPENLY serve themselves? Why are they not behind bars?

Never thought i'd see the day when a US president called for a foreign nation to destroy two major American cities and people cheered.

Not voting isn't an option! But you can't vote if you're not registered. Oct. 5th is the last day to register here in Texas if you want to vote in the upcoming Midterm Election. Go check your status and confirm your name & address are current. #LetsGetVoteReady #NoMoreExcuses #TexasSizedTurnout

I just voted. Went over my ballot twice. Wanted to make sure that I didn’t vote for anyone with an R after their name. I was hoping to have to wait in line but I was one of 5 people there at that time. But it’s early days of early voting so I remain hopeful!

Have you heard of 1789 Capital? The venture capital firm founded by Don Jr? They obtained a stake in a small company named Vulcan Elements-and quickly got a $620 million deal from the Pentagon Why? “The call came from the White House: We have to get this done” #PaytoPlayPresident

Some of the wrongest in politics are “popularists,” who say public opinion can’t be changed, so politicians should never try to lead, only follow polls. This meant treating 2024 as permanent, conceding on immigration and other things. But as @gregsargent.bsky.social writes, the opposite’s working.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

The Guardian: survivors allege girls as young as 15 were exploited in a group Trump's FCC chair belonged to for years. Carr denies knowing. Ask Republican senators if that's good enough for the man regulating your family's airwaves. Silence keeps him there. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

A nursing home boss stole his workers' Social Security and Medicare money. He got 18 months and $4.4M restitution. A Mar-a-Lago dinner erased it. If pardons go to whoever can afford a plate, workers get robbed twice: once by him, once by the system. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

Susan Collins was at the center of a major bribery probe for steering millions in contracts to a company whose CEO illegally funneled thousands to her campaign. Then Trump took office and gutted the FBI and DOJ units investigating her. Is this what "being moderate" looks like?
