This morning, Michelle from Boothbay sent me this photo of her heating oil bill: nearly $1,300.

this is just insanely damning stuff when you lay it all out democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Lol congrats to all the chuds who spent the past 24 hours clutching their pearls pretending that Obama insulted Cheesecake Factory just so Trump could actually insult it.

Is it because the strongest allegations come from women who were technically adults at the time of the alleged assaults? E. Jean Carroll once suggested as much to me: that because Trump preferred adult victims, no one cares. I don't want that to be true, but sometimes it feels true.

Even setting aside the two accusers whose stories are shakier, we have three strong and credible direct accusations. Then we have three more young women who have evidence of Trump participating in Epstein's trafficking ring.

This report has a lot more information than that one less-than-credible accusations against Trump. If people read (I know, it's an impossible ask), you'll see there are three more I would deem extremely well-evidenced and credible.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

We have about 2 more hours of IPEV in Washoe & 3 hours in Clark County, NV left today. And to say today has been a complete fucking disaster for the GOP would be an understatement. Recall that entering the day, the GOP was already down 17k in the state. Dems have already netted 1.2k in IPEV's today

Had so much fun meeting Iowans and celebrating America's 250th at America's Harvest Festival in Des Moines!

Headlines that call it an “attack ad” featuring “Acton’s estranged mother” obfuscate the aberration. How about “Ramaswamy ad revictimizes Acton, who was raped as a child”? presswatchers.org/2026/10/depr...

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

If Elon Musk did not force feed his absurdly overvalued companies' garbage stock into the portfolios of unknowing index fund investors with 401k's and IRA's, I would be much less concerned about all his endless lying, stock pumping, and fraud.

What the hell? Per WSJ, Ukrainian drones have been forced to fly more slowly because of new limits on Starshield, the military version of Starlink,put in place at Elon Musk‘s personal direction. Zelensky told Rubio the speed needs to be restored. How in the world are we letting Musk call the shots?

ngl "this twelve year old rape victim is a duplicitous harlot" is not exactly how i expected this to go ambitious double down, even for Vance

Q: Do you regret going to war with Iran? Trump: I think it's one of the greatest things we've done.

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

Trump owns it. Collins co-signed it. Thanks for clearing that up, Joe Manchin. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/10/21/p...

Vivek is doubling down and doing a $4m ad buy for the Acton Mom ad which has been widely debunked and faced bipartisan backlash www.axios.com/2026/10/21/r...

Either the President was lying or Musk was lying, but the decision to slow down satellite speed and access has life or death consequences for Ukraine. This deserves a full investigation by the Senate. Elon Musk should be compelled to testify before Congress and under oath.

Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters "We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."

Suddenly, Trump's corruption feels like a salient political issue. I don't know why it took this long, but it's happening. Even Republicans are telling pollsters they're souring on Trump's grift.

Keep Trump on the road! Maybe we can get to 17-18 points!

Ossoff: “Trump begged Putin for diesel. Meanwhile, the White House is brokering the sale of billions in Russian energy assets to people who fund the Trump family and campaign. Oil fields, refineries, and gas stations worldwide are being sold to Trump cronies in a deal backed by the US government.”

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

those states are a lot harder than Georgia I think. Different universe of racial polarization. BUT I agree with him. Dems should lean in in Mississippi. Mobilize as much money as possible. Of course, it's zero sum. That money cld go to Kansas and other states. but still. Play everywhere.

Don't know if Trump or associates asked Zuckerberg to disrupt No Kings; or if Zuckerberg saw it as a chance to curry favor with Trump; or if Zuckerberg so believes in Trumpist authoritarianism that he decided to help out. But it's urgent to stop this from happening again--e.g., on election day.

👇 spread this news far and wide

Lots of good news today for Dems. Don’t get complacent. Check your registration. Go vote - early if you can. Let’s win this fucking thing.

Yet another issue where the only reasonable position is "everybody goes to jail." Anything less is incompatible with the rule of law.

Did James Talarico tell his grandmother that he thought he might be gay? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Has James Talarico been in a 15 year mentor-protégé relationship with gay billionaire Peter Thiel? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Did James Talarico pose in drag? Oh, no! That was JD Vance!

This might be the most embarrassing post of all time. Guaranteed every one of these people complained about the @kendricklamar Super Bowl halftime show. Shameless. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty @timburchett @GlennJacobsTN @BrentTaylorTN

She done lost her damn mind.

Republicans have now triaged CA13, their 6th seat of the day

Darline is dum(b).

X is the platform of choice for these smears. Musk himself pushed this conspiracy from his own account three times. Democrats need to go to war against Musk because he's already attacking them. He's deeply unpopular. And, as we saw in Wisconsin, voters recoil when he becomes an issue in a race.

For those pushing Dems to start making a stink about Elon's fundraising @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social is now doing that.

⚡Third Yandex data center in Russia shut down following reported drone attack. Russian technology giant Yandex's data center in Vladimir Oblast has been completely shut down following a reported drone attack, Russian state news agency TASS said on Oct. 11, citing the company.

I'm losing my mind, the Kansas City Star literally did a review of other litigious Kansas doctors and found that none of them charged Marshall's insane 18% interest

Starting Monday morning every candidate who Elon Musk is spending against should hold an event where they tell everyone Elon Musk has their Social Security number & he’s funding their opponents’ campaign so he doesn’t have to give it back.

8 time Texas HS football state champion coach knows what’s at stake this November.

I am personally not sure what Trump's approval rating floor is, but it's definitely lower than pundits were predicting in early 2025. It is a possibility that he never gets above the mid-30s again (among all adults) fiftyplusone.news/polls/approv...
