FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

If only there were a Nobel Prize for heckling

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Mayor Mamdani and Councilmember Kayla Santosuosso visited the New York Aquarium to meet some seals and celebrate the impact of the administration’s $2 million investment in the aquarium.

I wonder if Trump will talk about Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith’s ass at his rally in MS today?

Breaking News: A Manhattan judge ruled that Maurene Comey, a former federal prosecutor, was unlawfully fired last year by the Trump administration. nyti.ms/4swdPby

David Jolly: "The problem in this environment is not that I used to be a Republican. It's that Byron Donalds still is one."

Well alrighty then.

It is kinda funny that Bill Maher keeps trying to be Trump’s friend while Trump continues to shit all over him on a regular basis.

GUARDIAN: “Lula’s win is bad news for Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27-year sentence for that botched power grab… also a blow for Donald Trump, the Bolsonaro clan’s most important international ally.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Hope it was worth it @billmaher Trump also mocks Maher for forcing his audience to laugh at his bad jokes — guess Trump’s right about something after all🙃

“Bill: Don’t call anymore… complete and total loser… turn your laugh machine off…” Hope it was worth it @billmaher www.cnn.com/2026/10/25/m...

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

I don’t get it. If the tariffs are great for America and are bringing back manufacturing and are one of Trump’s signature policies, why won’t the Republicans who refused to overturn them even mention them?

Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: “A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

I voted yesterday at our local community center. There aren't competitive races in our CD or state (VA), but fwiw turnout seemed robust, voters energized and eager. In the sewer of Trump's smears and Elon's money, voting is the great disinfectant.

“Accountability is rarely pleasant, but it makes us better. Congressional Republicans need to be held accountable. That's not retribution. It's tough love. And for every faithless incumbent we vote out, a Republican will run in 2028 having learned the lesson.” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Freshly back from Ukraine, historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social joins Bill Kristol and Tom Joscelyn to explain why Russia is losing on the battlefield, and why that makes Donald Trump Vladimir Putin’s best hope. Watch the conversation on the latest episode of It's Happening Here!

Enjoy these sky-high oil prices, America... ...because they may soon *double*. Trump and his crazy Republicans are promising to restart the Iran War the second you leave the voting booth. Only Democrats can stop them. Maybe that’s something to consider while *inside* the booth?

One is a good guy, and the other is Trump’s guy. Of course. 🚫🍊🍆🥔😑

PM Carney sharply criticized the decision to restrict Ukraine’s satellite access: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision or group of people took this decision against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of the citizens against naked aggression.”

Hey Texas: James Talarico needs your vote. He's the good guy!

At Least 59 People Have Died in ICE Custody Since Start of Trump’s Second Term #TruthOut

if you believe that Melania Trump negotiated a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, I've got a $5,000 Trump dividend and some Melania memecoin to sell you

I’m glad Congress isn’t alive to see this.

All these so-called “independent” Republicans will go right back to voting for Johnson as speaker, confirm every Trump nominee, vote with Trump on everything, and continue doing zero oversight on his corrupt regime. A vote for any one of them is a vote to continue all of that.

In 2020, Jared Kushner was senior advisor to the president of the United States, a full-time employee of the United States government, and was subject to numerous disclosure requirements and ethical restrictions under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978.

😳 here's pictures taken today of Trump's right and left hands. Both are looking really bad, and he's using makeup on each of them to try to mask it (note how the left one is now looking just as nasty as the right one -- that's new) (Aaron Schwartz/Getty)

I just want to state clearly that I don’t think there would be anything wrong with the president being gay and it absolutely would not change my opinion of him.

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"

Peter Thiel has — privately, not publicly — broken with Trump on the Iran war. "I think we should not have done it." "There were a lot of mistakes that were made."

"So there it is, the morbid phenomenon of late Trumpism on full display: Smearing a survivor of child sexual abuse; running an ad featuring a primary enabler of the abuse; and complaining that some decent people in his party are offended by this." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-monste...

Trump's Justice Department goes after blacks & Muslims. ICE goes after Latinos. Trump's allies at Meta try to undercut No Kings. The forces of authoritarianism are using racism, nativism, & intimidation to try to affect the 2026 vote. The public seems unimpressed. But will timid elites speak up?

It’s time to arrest Elon.

I can’t agree more.

Vote Jerri Green and help end Marsha’s political career so she can stay focused on other people’s genitals

Neil Bush: “I see in [James Talarico] the qualities I admire most in public servants: integrity, civility, humility, and a willingness to listen to those with whom he disagrees... a principled, pragmatic leader who understands public office is a responsibility to serve, not an entitlement to power.”
