I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

From @jamellebouie.net's lips to Democrats' ears 🙏
"If Democrats win Congress this November, they should use their investigative powers to scrutinize Musk’s companies, question his relationships to foreign governments and ensure his compliance with federal law." We couldn't agree more, @jamellebouie.net 🔥🔥🤘🤘 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/17/o...

Elon Musk is desperate to buy a Senate seat for Ken Paxton—a lying, bigoted, philandering fraudster, who is as obsessed with punishing trans children as Elon is. www.liberalcurrents.com/hell-is-empt...
Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

I've spent nearly a decade researching and writing this book, so I'm going to be excited to show it off. I guess I could've fed my research into AI and had it quickly shit out something that sort of resembles a book. But it's not as good as the real thing and I don't get to take pride in the work.

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

It's already pretty obvious what Xi thinks of the Orange Chicken here
Sen. Mike Lee: "I won't be a bit surprised if President Trump decides at one point to say, 'You know, President Xi, let's go visit Panda Express and see what you think of their broccoli beef.' I'd love to see that happen. That's the kind of thing President Trump likes to do."

Like @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social said, Mamdani just pushed the button.
My entire life I've heard centrists scolding leftist candidates with "oh, but how will we pay for all that? isn't your agenda unreasonable? shouldn't we run on a modest proposal for means-tested tax rebates?" Then Mamdani gets elected and makes it all look pretty easy. No wonder they hate him.

If DOJ can extract $8.5m from Langone under bogus False Claims Act assertions relating to gender affirming care then I expect the next Dem admin to extract nothing less than $850 billion from GOP slush fund vendors like Palantir and SpaceX.
They keep dropping these on Friday afternoon for a news dump. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/doj-s...

I guess I am somehow not online *enough* but I didn't know that Steak n' Shake was white nationalist. Husted is the guy who just had to fire his aide because it was reported the aide <checks notes> used SS soldiers as his Facebook profile pic and had a Spotify playlist celebrating Rhodesia.
I mean listen, you shouldn't have been going to Steak 'n Shake in the first place, but also holy shit.

So not only must universities host speakers who are hostile to their mission and members, but they've got to guarantee their safety while doing so? Kirk made a career off the Professor Watchlist, leading many academics to fear for their safety. Do they get to send TPUSA a bill for their troubles?

Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result. Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE. www.npr.org/2026/09/11/n...

It's fine if someone isn't personally interested in studying dolls, but anyone who proudly announces that dolls are unworthy of study is just plain stupid. And they're extra stupid if their own field revolves around a thing with more symbolic value than genuine functionality. Y'know, like Bitcoin.

I think French ignores the many aspects of traditional GOP ideology to which Trump has acceded, including the most central, such as tax cuts for the rich, which has been the major legislative accomplishment of both of his terms, climate change denial, conservative judges, deregulation, and so on.
“What Trump did is not really replace one G.O.P. ideology with another,” David French says on “The Opinions.” Instead, “he took the G.O.P. ideology that existed around 2015, nuked it from orbit, and then turned the glowing ruins into nothing but his impulses and desires.”

If Democrats retake the House, the Judiciary Committee needs to revive the Hatch Act in a major, major way. Remove these criminals and hacks before the 2028 cycle begins.
There could not be a more blatant violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits any executive branch employee from "Using his or her official title while participating in political activity." Unlikely to be prosecuted, however. Will any news org even mention this? www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/5/7...

I'm loathe to share this man, but this one is personal. My masters thesis was on the MMR controversy, so believe me when I say that this path of separation of the MMR will result in nothing but increased sales of too-small coffins, and children with life-altering medical conditions.
Trump: "The MMR I think should be taken separately. This is based on what I feel."

In recent weeks, congressmen like Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) and Rep. Michael Rulli (R-OH) have leveled racist attacks against immigrant communities in their districts. As I note in CAMPAIGN TRAILS, a century ago those same racist attacks were being made against people named Emmer and Rulli.

Democrats need to do this because it's what's happening. Trump officials are not only behaving outside the law, they're behaving as if they'll never be subject to the law. Dems must introduce friction to slow them down: Start announcing that blanket pardons for uncharged crimes will not be honored.
Democrats should publicly commit to not recognizing pardons for crimes not yet indicted. If they don't, this will become a crime free-for-all. Trump is telling staffers laws don't apply to them.

Why the fuck is the Department of Homeland Security allowed anywhere near our election records? DHS was created specifically to protect against "terrorist acts." Even if the lies about China were true and they were meddling in our elections, the thugs of DHS and ICE have no role investigating it.
Mullin claims DHS will “scrub all election records” and asserts that dead people are voting
