i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Whether it’s Republicans openly demanding bribes or Democrats investigating the payment of bribes, both parties have created a tense and politicized environment for CEOs.

David Graeber explained that one of the ways that Neoliberalism functions is through hopelessness. Our hope is killed until we think there is no point anymore and we just give up. Lula's amazing victory shows there still is hope. We should never give up!!!

TRUMP BEGINS TO STEAL MID-TERMS: launches Weaponized DOJ against Alaska Senate ballot Trump claims approval is "really 60%"; "doesn't give a damn" that big oil is making "a freaking fortune" off you AND I APOLOGIZE for the World Series New Podcast drops at midnight

Texans can not afford the basics. Want an affordable country? Want to end corruption??? Vote Talarico. Repost. Share with friends.

Many of you are asking how you can help me in these final days before the election. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

James Talarico: We are still very much the underdogs. We're going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas who is backed by the most powerful man in the world and the richest man in the world — both the president and Elon Musk are backing Ken Paxton.

Today is the first day of early voting in New York! My office's Election Protection Hotline is ready to answer questions and address any problems at the polls: ☎️ 866-390-2992

Talarico: You want to know why they are spending $200 million against me? Because I don’t take their corporate PAC money and I never will. I don’t work for them. I work for you. When we flip this seat in Texas, I’m going to vote to ban corporate PACs so billionaires can’t buy our elections.

Top health care companies in the Fortune 500: United Health: #3 CVS Health: #6 Cigna: #14 One way they did it? By buying up every part of the health care system—and squeezing you dry. You shouldn't have to worry about going broke when you get sick. Let's break up Big Medicine.

1. I am very tired of being asked to be stupid. I know that is not the most important thing right now. There are many more serious consequences to electing a criminal president who is burning up the economy.

Today’s Letters from an American 🇺🇸 by @hcrichardson.bsky.social reminds me of Russell Vought saying Trump 2.0 would rapid fire Executive Orders to outpace the courts. “By the time they figure out what's going on, we will have already done it" 👉🏼vote heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-23...

Donald Trump has sent his DOJ cronies to file a bullshit lawsuit to try to steal a Senate election in Alaska. They will fail. When we fight, we win.🗳️⚖️💪

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

Running against Musk isn't only good politics right now, it's good patriotism.

I confess that even at this late date I'm surprised we are going to permit Witkoff to return to this country

Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Trump claims he is sending 1M $500 refund checks to people who were enrolled in Obamacare because they were overcharged. However, those people only live in red states or states where elections are close. Sounds like an effort to influence the election and an impeachable bribe.

The other day, Talarico leaned hard into the case for immigration as a positive good for our country in a way you rarely hear from Dems. He has a real theory of the case: Trump's cruelty and barbarism have opened space for new moral arguments, a new consensus. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2160...

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

1. NEWS Mayor Zohran Mamdani announces a municipal strategy to combat antisemitism. “Antisemitism is real, and it is growing. Here in NYC, while our Jewish neighbors make up only 12% of the pop, NYPD statistics show antisemitic hate crimes account for more than half of all confirmed hate crimes..

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

Talarico isn't in the pocket of tech bros, crypto bros, or data center bros. Talarico doesn't have elite donors telling him what to say or how to vote. He'll help us Texans have clean air and water and shut down these data centers. Vote Talarico. 🔥❤️💙🔥❤️💙🔥❤️💙

Filmmaker Alex Gibney has shared the first trailer for 'Musk,' a two-part, four-hour deep dive into Elon Musk that Rolling Stone called “a nonfiction horror movie” following its film festival debut earlier this month. Watch ↓

Ken Paxton keeps dodging debates. So I called his cell to invite him to a debate on Fox News. He didn’t pick up.

All these elected officials do is go on cable news to blab about problems we know really well because they dedicated decades of their lives to not solving them.

Onward. Forward. With your help. Happy birthday to Democracy Americana! One year ago, I started this experiment. To keep it going, I need your support. This is my once-annual pitch to everyone reading. I hope you’ll indulge me:

1. I suppose we have Natalie Harp to thank.

Talarico wants data centers to pay for their own grid upgrades, recycle their water, create real jobs, & get a community's consent before moving in. Paxton took nearly $500,000 from the industry. Texans need a senator who fights for them, not corporate cash. #BlueWaveIn40Days

CNN is about to travel the same dark path of WaPo and CBS News. They will say it's not true. They will ask you to ignore what you see and disbelieve what you hear. Instead, I suggest you support independent media. You can start with Democracy Docket but there are many others. demdock.com/4w6emld

Since Trump took office, the richest 0.1% of Americans have gained more than 8,000 TIMES as much wealth as the bottom 50% of households.
