I predict that one or more leaders of the U.S. protectorates in the Middle East will be in exile within the next six to twelve months if this conflict is not resolved soon.

ONE WEEK OUT — and Democrats have the wind at their backs. Both parties now expect a Democratic House. The Senate is still a knife fight. The stunning part: Dems now think they could lose as few as ONE House incumbent. But momentum means nothing if we stay home. Vote early. Donate. Volunteer. 💙

It turns out punishing coup plotters actually is an effective deterrent!

This post is unavailable.

The election is only about a week out but the cracks are beginning to appear in the Trump fellatio crowd starting to put distance between themselves and the failed president. This includes the talking head class who spent a decade being cucked by Trump/Vance who now see the writing on the wall.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

The Cheesecake Factory “controversy” is nice because it’s a rerun of the exact kind of stupid shit we had to sit through every day of the Obama administration. Now Zoomers don’t have to feel left out of having their own Obama “controversy” to reference.

It’s never been more clear that racism is a scam perpetrated by wealthy elites to convince working people to blame someone other than the wealthy elite.

One of the most effective things Obama could do for the party is let it rip like this all year long. He's so good, but he saves it for rallies a few weeks before elections like it's a severely-limited resource and that's just not how the modern communications environment has evolved.

Telling a woman to shut up when she’s asking about the attack ad you’ve backed calling a pedophilia victim a loser is like a turducken pf misogyny

This is horrific on its own, and also instructive since Ramaswamy himself has been the target of really racist attacks. He hasn’t learned anything from them. This, and his persistent anti-blackness, show us he can’t see his way to empathy for others. He can’t be taught. He can only be defeated.

The looting of the country by Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, the Trump sons, and their orbit of aides and friends is directly tied to *your* inability to afford housing, health care, child care, and more. It's their illegal wealth versus our ability to live.

ICE causes man to wreck while his children are in the car, then tries to pry his kids from his arms. They got the wrong guy. Toward the end of the video, an ICE officer says law requires the person recording to back up 25 feet and threatens with pepper spray. (There is no 25-foot law.)

Today, while protecting Palestinians, Brad Lander & a group of American rabbis & others were taken by the IDF. Releasing Brad isn't enough, the Israeli govt must release them all.   If this is how they treat Americans, imagine how they treat Palestinians. Trump & Rubio's silence fuels this impunity.

This is a disgrace, and it directly impacts our military readiness. Some 1,300 Navy family members were evacuated from Bahrain during the Iran war. Months later, families are still displaced, separated from loved ones, struggling financially, and waiting for answers. #SupportTheTroops 🧵

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

So many choices. “A young man.” OR “A longtime Republican operative” “A former aide to Republican Senator Josh Hawley” “A young man with deep ties to Republican candidates” But, “a young man.” We see you @wsj.com.

A young man asked Abdul-El Sayed if he would disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. The tense exchange has turned into a highlight for the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan. Here’s what happened.

Replying to @jamisonfoser.bsky.social

just for the record, I do not believe Susan Collins failed to anticipate that. I believe Susan Collins voted to confirm Kavanaugh knowing he would vote to overturn Roe, because it was fucking obvious and because her whole career is built on denying knowledge of the consequences of her actions.

SpaceX got almost $6 BILLION in taxpayer-funded defense contracts last fiscal year. Meanwhile, SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, has spent over $360 MILLION in our elections this cycle. This should be illegal — but it isn't. I'll be introducing a bill to close the loophole that allows it.

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.
