Science works.

It was nice when former or wannabe authoritarians fleeing justice went to Russia instead of Florida. That felt better, as an American. At least Assad still picked Moscow.

Ousted dictators used to flee to Moscow. Now, apparently, they flee to the United States. www.cnn.com/2026/10/27/a...

We’re going out on a limb and guessing @justinjpearson.bsky.social opponent Brent Taylor would be a “NO” vote on releasing the Epstein files. #TN9 😕

Did you know we’re below the minimum recommended amount of oil, and just barely above the *statutory minimum* in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve? Lowest level since 1982, and gas is still through the roof. What happens when the war in Iran kicks back off?

A former Miss Switzerland beauty pageant contestant has accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her at New York's Plaza Hotel in 1993, according to her account to Congress. Trump has denied the allegations.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Damn good question.

House Dems Report: “A growing body of evidence demonstrates Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the 1990s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the 🇺🇸 people in the dark about it.” The report: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

There are so many different credible allegations about Donald Trump being a rapist, you can almost understand how The New York Times missed the new charges here, but uh, this is supposed to be The New York Times.

this man is a gotdamned patriot

This heckler is all of us ✊🏾

If only there were a Nobel Prize for heckling

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

Woody Harrelson has done an ad "for Exxon". Well worth watching

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

The only thing they like more than handouts is pretending they don’t like handouts

The Republican Party AND The Far Right…? The Republican Party IS The Far Right. They abandoned anything other than extremism when they put their full, unmitigated support into aiding and abetting the entirety of this fascist MAGA regime and all its cronies, and they KNEW the consequences.

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

yup.

conservatives in washington state want freedom and small government in the form of state-mandated genital exams for high school students: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

New ad from The Lincoln Project: At every turn, Trump puts Russia before America. Why?

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

After the recent Trump rallies, it's a novelty to see a president able to fill a venue again.

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

NEW: A woman featured in a Republican attack ad accusing a Democrat of being “dangerous” for children actually PLEADED GUILTY TO CHILD ENDANGERMENT after driving drunk with her own kids in the car, per the Washington Post.

Nailed it.

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

Good on Monica Alba for persisting with a thoroughly legitimate question. Trump’s attack on her answered the question: Sexual abuse means nothing to Donald Trump. Zip, zero, zilch.

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Pete Hegseth wanted Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke it because they refused to wait for a team of specialist historians to move it.

Hamilton: "He just said the war in Iran is not the problem, the war in Ukraine is. The Ukrainians trying to defend themselves are why we have record diesel prices? Nobody believes that. This happened in response to the war in Iran. Roger Marshall supported that. I support the Ukrainians ... "
