You can't expect the New York Times to give any attention to a story about the president being credibly accused of violent rape when the story breaks so close to an election. It's not like we're talking about something *really* important, like email security protocols.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

uhhhh

Reuters: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S FIRING OF PROSECUTOR MAURENE COMEY WAS UNLAWFUL, JUDGE RULES

SHOW ME THE DOCUMENTS>>>>> We did something sort of crazy at The NYT this year, as we look for ways to dig into what has happened at the Environmental Protection Agency since Trump returned to the White House. We collected more than 466,200 pages of federal and state documents.....

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Good morning. Sunday morning. zeteo.com/p/venues-sta...

OBAMA: He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. It's gold everywhere.

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.

Medium Buying reported late last night that Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign is converting all its ad buys to 30-second hits, and that TV stations were "scrambling" to confirm with the campaign. The Hag from Hell ad is 60 seconds long. So he's likely pulling it.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

The ~$600B he gained since Trump won has everything to do with the money he spent in 2024. Now, keeping it does too. That’s why extreme wealth is incompatible with democracy.

📣 ONCE AGAIN: When you donate to a campaign via any Blue26.org page, 96% goes DIRECTLY to the campaigns you choose. 4% goes to the cc processing fee. NOTHING goes to anyone else, including me (unless you choose to throw a buck my way separately to support my efforts).

Vance seems to admit Starlink throttling is result of Trump policy👇 Q: Musk said any decision on Starshield would come from the govt. Should there be an investigation? JD: Elon runs a private company & it's understandable he doesnt want to get in the middle of a war without the govt directing him

BREAKING: SCOTUS rejects Trump admin's request to allow it to end gender-affirming medical care in prisons — a significant, if tentative, rejection of one of the admin's most extreme anti-trans arguments. Only Thomas and Alito noted they would have granted the stay. More to come: www.lawdork.com

i don't think i've ever seen a campaign do a murder-suicide before (decent chance this drags down the entire GOP ticket in the state)

tommy did not get paid $250k to disrupt el-sayed's event. tommy's dad TIMMY's LLC was paid that amount. whether timmy gave tommy a cut is unknown at this point.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall

Conman’s companies popped for using H1-B visas. That should about do it. www.thedailybeast.com/vances-must-...

I have called my representatives and demanded that they stand up for Ilhan Omar. It's not just the proximity to an election. If Trump is able to weaponize DHS/DOJ to take out sitting members of Congress without backlash, that's it, that's the whole game.

statler and waldorf but it’s al-sayed and ossoff heckling republicans

"I do think they're going to lose Ohio," Erickson said in a clip shared by independent journalist Aaron Rupar. "The polling in Ohio for the GOP is pretty bleak." … "You have the Max Miller situation that is actually dragging down the ticket.” www.rawstory.com/erick-ericks...

SEN. SCHMITT: You deny seeing Bon Jovi at State Farm Arena that night in Atlanta? You just perjured yourself. JACK SMITH: I don’t even like- SEN. KLOBUCHAR: There was a Bon Iver thing that night in Eau Claire. SMITH: That’s right, Amy. I saw you there. KLOBUCHAR: Living room deal. It was nice.

lol my flight got diverted because of a medical emergency and they landed us in reykjavik in the middle of the night and deplaned us and sent us through passport control and then the crew vanished and then british airways sent us links to book an overnight hotel room but for a hotel at heathrow

Maybe the most important political story of our time. People just want the bullshit to stop.

I think MAHA is very straightforwardly the triumph of the snake oil salesmen and the way we beat it is the same way you always beat snake oil salesmen: regulate their claims

Rough Draft vs Final Draft

MAGA has dumped a lot of absurdity on us, but I don't think they'll ever top "Health and Human Services Secretary who believes diseases are fake"

Because the behavior of the parties is not symmetrical. If we genuinely brought back shaming of shitty, cruel, deceptive behavior, the shame would overwhelmingly fall on the right, and the whole elite political & media system has shown again & again that it values symmetry over decency.

the year is 2027. gas costs $83 and lettuce is at war with us. however every location on every map now says AMERICA

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

Algorithms killed the spectrum of emotional valences. Everything now is set to 10. Bring back the eyeroll, the exasperated sigh, the hand wave, the shoulder shrug. Some stuff is just mildly annoying or blandly dumb. You don’t need to blow every emotional outburst on the mundane.

This is not a secretary or assistant for the local flooring company... when Trump's account posted ‘bomb the shit out of them’ that was Natalie's fingers that typed that

Natalie Harp is one of the most powerful people alive. I'm not joking or exaggerating. Controlling what information the US president gets and publicly communicating on behalf of the president give someone significant influence over policy of the world's most powerful country, all the way up to war.

You’ve spent six years trying to do this. You literally placed my city under siege and it never budged, but you did lose your DHS secretary and your stormtrooper-in-chief. Don’t you remember? You’re never going to win this issue, you old fool.

Trump To Order Redesign of Aircraft Carriers Because They Don’t Look Right talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

First, this whole story is completely crazy. Trump wants to redesign already in production new class of aircraft carriers so they look more like the ones from WW2. Let's put a pin that absolute insanity. But there's an aspect of this that if anything this .. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Prediction markets are not predictive and should not be covered as news

🚨🚨🚨 WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: You have the right to declare a national security emergency for elections. If you do this in the next month, we will get photo ID, proof of citizenship, and a limit to mail ballots TRUMP: Let me just say stranger things have happened. I'll leave it at that

Is any high-profile media outlet going to run a story contrasting how Platner was treated by the Democratic Party (run out on rails) with how Max Miller is being treated by the GOP (protected, supported) and drawing the obvious conclusions?

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump has lost this war. America is weaker, Iran is stronger, the price to reopen the strait increases by the day, the supposed 'deal' that's on the table right now would pay Iran $100 billion a year in order to reopen the strait ... what a victory for Iran."
