Another person has died in ICE custody — this is the 28th known death this year. The cruelty of this rogue agency is beyond unconscionable. Abolish ICE.

Sarah Kendzior's *Cosa Nostradamus* reminds me why I've followed her work for so long. Reading her prose evokes memories of experiencing watercolors. Scholarship, grief, indignation, and irreverent humor flow together without losing their individual character. And “Midol Metal”? 😂 Brilliant..

Attn California voters: The Trump administration is escalating its pressure on local election officials demanding cooperation with a federal citizenship review and threatening potential legal consequences.

Wild how I can post something about missing Obama and there are STILL people in the replies telling me bad things Obama did. Was he perfect? No. Was he a billion times better than Trump? Yes. Stop comparing apples to incoherent fascist oranges.

This is hands down the dumbest defense I've ever heard of Trump's economy by one of his own advisors. Stacey Abrams and I discuss.

Hey ‘Bama: you didn’t like him as a football coach. Don’t vote for him to be your governor. #vote

A trust owned by Texas AG Ken Paxton and his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, invested in a company led by a convicted fraudster. The firm and its affiliates later sent the trust 15 payments totaling $83K before and during the AG’s impeachment trial. w/ @texastribune.org

Bernie Sanders. Ro Khanna. Chris Van Hollen. Angie Nixon. Four major voices join Jack Cocchiarella for a big conversation on Trump’s midterm blitz, the future of the Democratic Party, and the battle already brewing over 2028. WATCH: www.youtube.com/live/WT6jf56...

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: 25-year-old Argentinian biologist Pilar Ferrer has developed an injectable gel that helps repair damaged heart tissue after a heart attack

We all knew who Blanche was— he covered up the Epstein files. Republican Senators confirmed him anyway. The corruption of our Justice Department is on them.

The great Oleksandra Matviichuk is absolutely right to draw attention to the horrible humanitarian crisis in Oleshky. All Putin, Witkoff, and Kushner can do is invert and traduce the meaning of “humanitarianism,” in the best traditions of Russian propaganda.

conservatives in washington state want freedom and small government in the form of state-mandated genital exams for high school students: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Are any of you making a “freakin fortune” off higher gas prices?

Washington state: it’s time to make your voice heard. Fill out your ballot and bring it to a drop box near you now through Election Day – the earlier the better.

All senior fossil fuel management belongs in prison for the rest of their ghoulish lives for their crimes against humanity. Greed destroying humanity cannot be tolerated

Folks here in Georgia are working hard to send @ossoff.bsky.social back to the Senate and elect @keishaforga.bsky.social as their next Governor! Proud to see so many volunteers show up yesterday to get out the vote in the final days ahead of the midterm elections.

This “ship” is being turned into a storm. Both Trump and Vance are totally out of touch with people on the economy. And people have had enough.

Sen. Adam Schiff tells NBC that Pete Hegseth and "anyone who has knowledge of what happened" should testify before the Senate on Ukraine's Starlink disruptions. "Somebody is lying here. Maybe they're all lying in different ways, but we need to find out."

A letter sent to Trump Chief of Staff Susie Wiles by several House members, incl. Ro Khanna, demanded “an immediate, govt-wide investigation into the decision to restrict SpaceX's Starshield satellite-based intelligence & military support services in Ukraine.” www.americaamerica.news/p/how-long-c...

Trump says Alaska’s ballot is illegal because people don’t know what “incumbent” means

Young people realized Trump and the MAGA influencers all lied to them. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/u...

"The expansion follows a landmark diplomatic shift led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, who recently brokered a deal with Beijing to reduce trade barriers." Wild when 'returning to 2023/2024 norms with punitive unit caps to keep EV adoption down' is considered 'landmark' but hey, it's yahoo 🤪

Q: What are you hearing is the top issue for voters? Trump: I’m hearing we turned the whole thing around.

Trump is unable to name one issue voters care about in this clip. Not one.

I can save you some time. He doesn't name ONE SINGLE ISSUE. When asked to name what people are concerned about, he's got NOTHING. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

The next 10 days will test our democracy. Trump hasn’t been able to suppress votes systemically like he wanted to & now there's a lot going on, especially in courts. Get caught up on what you need to know now, like recent developments in California and Alaska. joycevance.substack.com/p/trumps-las...

"We're going down and getting gasoline below $2 a gallon." —Donald Trump (September 5, 2024)

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández credited our reporting as the catalyst for the Justice for Citizens Wrongfully Detained by ICE Act. We revealed that 500+ U.S. citizens have been detained in warrantless arrests since Trump returned to office.

Elon Musk and the other tech oligarchs who want to control our lives are trying to buy this election for Republicans. Because our voter outreach is more effective than their ads, we don’t need millions of dollars to win — but we DO need grassroots support.

I don’t think the young people (ie if you’re under 25 you don’t really remember Obama) realize just how electric a speaker he is

Former presidents are just roasting the hell out of the White House redo today and it’s going to drive Trump absolutely insane

Sherrod Brown: Elon Musk Crowd: BOO!!! Sherrod: Peter Thiel Crowd: BOO!!!! Sherrod: Donald Trump Crowd: BOOOOOOO!!!!

This is C-O-R-R-U-P-T-I-O-N.   Remember World Liberty Financial? The Trump family crypto venture that’s generated more than $550 million for Trump while in office, run by the son of his Middle East envoy, and nearly half-owned by UAE-linked investors? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Early voting starts now! Help me get out the vote. mobilize.us/randyvillega

UPON FURTHER REVIEW: Mike Rogers is Big Pharma's MVP.

Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

HILLARY CLINTON: "I continue to believe that Putin has things on Trump. I continue to believe that he is holding photos, videos, whatever it might be... "When we finally see all the Epstein files, I think even the people who supported Trump are going to be shocked by what it shows about Trump."

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

Kelly Loeffler claims Trump works 20 hours a day (does sleeping on camera count as work?)

“Abdul El-Sayed’s middle name is Mohammed… Why doesn’t he share his real name?” “What’s Mike Rogers’ middle name?” “🤷🏼‍♀️”

Today is the first day of early voting in New Jersey. That’s why I’m taking action to ensure our elections remain free from federal interference. 

In a democracy, voters choose their leaders, not the other way around.
