Ossoff: "I have no interest in running for president in 2028, and to be very frank, with just 16 days before the polls close, I want to urge everybody out there to remain focused on the task at hand.

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

I’ve been really vocal about my concerns re: AI (particularly autonomous weapons) - that’s *starting* to get more attention now that the people who fucking built it are speaking out, but there’s still a lot that isn’t being talked about.

This breathtaking NYT story about Trump's Russian entanglements includes three people who've been part of the operation to cultivate Trump since 2015: Bryan Lanza, Sheikh Tahoon, and Kirill Dmitriev. This is literally the culmination of the original plan. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

Only if we let him. Musk absolutely stole 2024 for Trump, but not in the way people think. He spent hundreds of millions. He manipulated the X algorithm. He literally bought votes in multiple states. He didn’t - and can’t - change any votes, and nobody is falling for his bullshit this time.

Directing DOJ to slow-walk politically damaging decisions until after people vote would be a major scandal under any normal administration. Here, it’s just Friday.

The White House is coordinating with the Justice Department to hide its abortion agenda from voters until after they've voted in order to try to influence the results of the election.

The same Brendan Carr who wanted to investigate NBC because Kamala was on SNL? The same Brendan Carr who wanted to dismantle independent fact checking and accused them of being a “censorship cartel?” Periodic reminder that the corruption is a feature, not a bug.

The Iowa GOP's candidate for lieutenant governor is currently the target in a major fraud investigation. It's clear that he's done an awful lot of dodgy stuff. Where it ultimately gets charged and prosecuted probably depends on how far the Iowa GOP will use its power to protect him.

They’re likely trying to prevent defections, but I understand why everyone thinks this is ominous - there’s a lot of intel out there that Putin is planning a major escalation, likely in the Baltic States. Which would be an absolutely moronic thing for him to do, but here we are.

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting." Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

The official GOP position on the Iran War: it doesn't really exist because it's so far away... bsky.app/profile/atru...

Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson, running for Senate in Iowa, claims the Iran war is "thousands of miles away. It is out of sight, out of mind for so many Americans.” (Hinson has defended the war and voted against war powers resolutions.)

Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson, running for the Senate in Iowa, minimizes the war with Iran because it's "thousands of miles away." But two soldiers from Iowa, Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien and Sgt. Declan Coady, died in a March 1 drone strike in Kuwait. Their families' pain isn't thousands of miles away.

Just because US democratic institutions are a little stronger than their 1933 German counterparts and American Jews aren't the current priority scapegoats, doesn't mean that we aren't in a pre-Reichstag-fire situation; your word policing seems a little out of touch with the moment

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

I think we have more than a chance. By any realistic metric, we should be the favorites. But they’re also going to try to cheat. So we have to vote like we’re the underdogs. Deal?

We can, and we will. One he’s gone, I suspect a lot of folks are going to pretend like they never supported him. Eventually, this is going to get really embarrassing for them. The issue for us is that we have to STAY focused. We can’t treat this like ‘we won in 2026 and 2028, we’re good now’

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General. It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.
