“Racist billionaire Elon Musk appears to believe that dumping nearly half a billion dollars into weird, bigoted campaign ads is the equivalent of saving a civilization.” www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Nothing funnier than DC republicans, the fucking elite of the elite, pretending to take umbrage on behalf of Joe Sixpack in flyover country

no kidding

the DOJ is basically acting as if the president’s delusions are true

“We’ve turned a group of people into a campaign issue because it polls well. I just don’t think that’s OK. I think we have to treat people decently and humanely. And that’s all people.” secure.actblue.com/donate/ksvf-...

Just saw that “liberals are new racists” ad and it’s just a reminder that hate is the only argument they have.

Trump himself is America's actual enemy

bald-faced lie

striking how WaPo can write a headline with such moral clarity when they want

of course Trump's Russian allies are trying to stop Democrats from winning www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/u...

Nearly 2 in 3 U.S. adults younger than 30 who plan to vote in midterms say their main motivation is to oppose Trump and his policies, according to a new Harvard Youth Poll. 77% disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy — including about half of young Republicans.

This is great news. But everyone needs to vote like pro democracy candidates are 10 points behind. Do not take your foot off the gas.

Pete Hegseth, the repulsive degenerate cosplaying as "Secretary of War," wanted the globe of Dwight Eisenhower, a real American war hero, for his office. of course he broke it. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

accurately describing Trump and his administration can make anyone sound like a partisan lib - until you realize that Trump really is that corrupt, malicious, mentally ill and stupid.

Vivek is vile. It’s a horrible ad. But the good news is that the ad will destroy him.

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

Voter suppression in Texas is working exactly as it was designed to work. Republicans closed 92 voting locations in the state's largest swing county and now voters are waiting in line two hours to vote.

Being prepared is part of the job, Dan.

"You made us all get the story wrong," is, perhaps, the most pathetic stance that anyone pretending at journalism might offer. That GOP hacks might offer it up is standard. That Fox now runs out the string is, also, sadly quite standard.

obviously true

this is so obviously correct it is deeply bizarre and corrosive how many people who should know better are unwilling to simply say it

Americans reject Trump's economic record because, by any measure, he has made things worse. higher inflation, higher unemployment, higher mortgage rates, higher deficits, slower growth my @zeteo.com column please read, share and subscribe open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

It's really remarkable how in race after race, Republicans are saddled with the worst candidates imaginable - Paxton, Whatley, Husted, Rogers, Marshall, Moody, M. Collins, Graham... Some of them may win, but my god what a collection of losers, crooks, and dumbasses

This is actually really striking. The Republican candidates are genuinely quite bad!

Vance is such a sleazy, disreputable person

I remember the "Second Amendement people" bit from August 2016. I Tweeted out, then, "The Party of Lincoln is now the party of John Wilkes Booth." Only gotten more real.

And then they staged an insurrection at the capitol and everyone was like "oh wow, where did that come from?" and my question was "what the fuck did you think was going to happen?" Still is.

during his previous term I had a running thread on the old site of examples of Trump inciting violence against political opponents interspersed with occasional reminders that no American newspaper had ever called for his resignation or impeachment over it.

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.

We’re dealing with a psychiatric case who should be removed from office.

JUST IN: 'Furious' Judge Ana Reyes (Biden/DC) goes almost medieval on Trump admin for cutting down more than 400 trees at East Potomac Golf Course despite her understanding w/DOJ lawyers for advance notice of any major renovations. w/@kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Archbishop of the US military says Catholic soldiers should not serve on firing squad politi.co/4B1TePT

Tom Emmer is so embarrassingly stupid

Fox is garbage.

Not only should brooks and others shut up. But Ossoff is the best example in the country of a Democrat playing dominance politics and using it to control the whole terms of his race.

wtf David

terrible PI call on Robertson #Commanders

Pew Research Center with very large sample on how Americans rate Trump's job performance: approve...........30% disapprove......68%

🤪

latest CNN polling average for how Americans feel about Donald Trump's presidency: approve...........33% disapprove......66%

has been true from day one, but always worth reminding: Russia bought an American president. and got the Republican Party and "conservative" movement as part of the deal.
