Ok, so she doesn’t want to run for president I guess.
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

Elon Musk is spending an unprecedented, absolutely disgusting amount of money to help Republicans. By some counts, it’s well north of $400 million in this cycle. Money matters, but Elon’s money comes with a political price. www.messageboxnews.com/p/why-elon-m...

Microsoft’s stock rose on the news that it’s getting rid of 1/4th its people. That’s nothing new. Disposing of human beings in favor of “productivity” has always been a favorite move for Wall Street. However fires the last human gets to turn out the lights.

RIDES! A huge amount RIDES on the story we tell about why elections turn out the way they do.
It really is too bad that more high-profile Dems didn't come to Elissa Slotkin's defense last week. A huge amount rids on whether the narrative we propound about the election is 1) Dems won to hold Trump accountable or 2) Dems won because prices are too high. 🧵 www.offmessage.net/p/wheres-the...

I just love these Trump supporters calling for the smelling salts over Obama's Cheescake factory quip saying he's mocking middle America. These are the very people who worship the man who vomits gilt gew gaws everywhere like he's Louis the XIV and brags about how much money he's making as president.

Trump-Putin scandal in Alaska. "Joel Riddle, chief executive of the company, Polar LNG, until he resigned in September, said he had been misled...The true source of at least some of Polar LNG’s money was Novatek, a Russian energy giant under partial U.S. sanctions." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Weird and frankly disappointing video from Ezra & Leah. They imply support for impeachment, but seem to deliberately avoid saying so explicitly. They also create a false choice, implying impeachment is unrelated to the goal of holding other officials accountable. The opposite is true.
Trump should be impeached — and real accountability will require more than impeachment.

So witkoff/kushner toadie sell out negotiations involves cutting Russian companies in on US energy deals? Are we giving Alaska back to Russia?
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...

yes. and this is why people need to can it with the "we can't afford XYZ because of Trump" routine I hear on here sometimes. we could dial up the tax take by 10 points of GDP and not even be close to the Nordics
I also think this is a very powerful graph. Most people don't know it, but the US is a *very* low-tax country. We tax below average and we spend below average, among rich nations. Fixing our fiscal situation entirely through taxes would still leave us *very* low tax. bsky.app/profile/bren...

Trump’s Justice Department filed a preemptive lawsuit to block a possible Democratic win in Alaska’s Senate race. It’s a dramatic escalation, which comes a month after Trump publicly directed AG Todd Blanche to pursue the matter. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The deeper reason Trump, Vance, and Ramaswamy are backing the vile rape ad is they think MAGA politics—the cruelty, the depravity, the viciousness—is still ascendant. They think doing this esesentially puts Trump on the ballot. Me and @jimswift.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2169...

i'll take this as confirmation of my argument that had Epstein lived he'd now be a major MAGA influencer
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

this is a key point. if rates go up by a third or something but you got an EV and heat pump and zeroed out your fossil fuel consumption at home, that is a fantastic deal for most
In other words, we desperately need to be investing in electricity infrastructure. That means spending a lot of money. It probably means electricity rates rising. Those rates rising is fine & good *if* it means we're spending less on gasoline for transport, natural gas for heating, etc.

The clear implication of this is that the U.S. military is also at the mercy of Musk’s whims. He cannot be allowed to keep control over Starlink. He has demonstrated that he can’t be trusted with this power.

Dems play the expectations game by, e.g., saying private polls are closer than public ones. What they should say (because it's true) is that they're up against aggressive cheating by the richest, most powerful people in the world, and winning in spite of it. 🧵 www.offmessage.net/p/donald-tru...

Another one: Gov. Phil Scott has owned Democrats in Vermont for a decade. But he's nervous this year that his agenda of doing little to nothing might not pan out. Amanda Janoo, a milliennial economist focused on a "wellbeing agenda," could really win. Great report from Will Solomon.
