This could be the best chance to take out Stephen Miller since SPLC reported on his emails.

emptywheel@emptywheel.bsky.social

I keep saying this: Stephen Miller is trying hard to preemptively scapegoat someone ELSE in case the GOP loses Texas. But they're naming him by name. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

In the MAGA mind, Trump's vicious abuse of female reporters is simply of a piece with the rape ad itself: It's all a bet that MAGA misogyny and depravity are still political winners. Flagged by @atrupar.com:

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

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...

This Saturday: No Kings. This isn't a protest, it's a threat to the status quo. We're taking the fight from the streets to the ballot box. Democracy doesn't belong to the spectators; it belongs to the ones who show up and demand it. Vote early. 🗳️🔥 #momsky#sheshed

I learned that Parkrose Hardware is owned by Central Network Retail Group, which is owned by Orgill, a huge hardware distribution company based out of Tennessee. They love what Trumps been doing with the "Big Beautiful Bill" and recently hosted a GOP hearing at their building.

Next weekend’s NO KINGS rallies are about more than protesting. They’re about ORGANIZING. With early voting underway, the mission is clear: Know your rights. Make a voting plan. Turn protest into ACTION. And on everyone’s mind: #RepublicanAffordabilityCrisis

Republicans are spending close to $200 million to hold Texas. Cook Political Report’s Senate editor wrote that the question “isn’t whether Democrats will gain seats, but how many.” Early voting starts October 19.

AP: The Council of Europe said Tuesday that the US formally notified it a day earlier that it would leave the Group of States against Corruption, or GRECO. Only two other countries have left GRECO before — Russia and Belarus. This comes as a surprise to no one. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

#IA voters, did you miss the clapping choir of wealthy oligarchs celebrating kicking people off their healthcare because they are not using it? Apparently, it didn't even occur to Ashley Hinson & her ilk that PEOPLE AREN'T USING IT BC THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT! Elect Dem JOSH TUREK to the US Senate!

THIS SHOULD BE NATIONAL NEWS This has been public for more than a week, and I can’t find a single national TV report. Just local. Why? REPORT: A female Cornell student alleges she was pressured into taking ketamine, then sexually assaulted for hours by multiple Chi Phi fraternity members in 2024.

The horror has come to our city: ICE has shot a person in Austin this morning. As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.

Pedophilia is incurable and a threat to all children. The US must make sexually assaulting or raping children a federal Capital crime that's punishable by death with no plea deals or pardons. Children victimized by these beasts suffer for life! Their abusers must be executed!

joe rogan is a warm-up for what every maga in the country is going to try once the Big Beautiful Obituary comes to fruition. There will only be a handful of people who admit they supported him. Call them out - every fucking time. You don't get to destroy the country and play innocent.

Joe Rogan suddenly acting like he was an innocent bystander for years and had no idea what Trump was all about until now and did nothing to help get him elected is pretty weak and pathetic. Just own it.

These are humans with families. This is a national story and, if you don’t have time to visit a detention facility, please take 2 minutes to listen to this story from NJ Senator Andy Kim @kim.senate.gov who can put real faces to these stories that are going "unnoticed" for some reason. #DV1

Karim Daoud was detained by ICE on the same day he went to pick up work authorization documents. He was then held in the Elizabeth Detention Facility for over 9 months. It is a testament to his community that he is home with his children today.

Washington County didn't vote to be surveilled by their government 24/7. These cameras log people going to work, school, church, the doctor—everywhere they go. It's a huge invasion of privacy and a breach of our 4th Amendment. All done without warrants, guardrails, or oversight.
