@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

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

I am the America First candidate. But you don't have to take it from me... See our new ad, airing on TV exclusively on Fox News and Newsmax.

Trump has made more stock trades in his second term than all 535 members of Congress combined.

Trump’s personal Attorney General Todd Blanche doesn’t rule out challenging election certifications in various states (You are not alarmed enough)

Oil hits $115 a barrel for the first time since May, adding to the economic strain just 11 days before critical midterm elections that may turn in part on affordability. @iankmsmith.ft.com @urbandirt.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/8948...

GREG IP: “.. Trump called ‘tariff’ the most beautiful word in the dictionary. He somehow made it the most hated word in politics.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

NEW, from Bloomberg News: “Elon Musk has now given more than $445 million in the current election cycle.”

Remember, Republicans made George Soros an international boogeyman when he was giving Democrats a *tenth* of this Now... {crickets}

Incredible sequence for the Thunder, Chet stuffs a dunk at one end and Jalen Williams slams home an alley-oop at the other. Building goes nuts

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: MeidasTouch obtained NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN photos and videos revealing devastating damage to U.S. bases from Trump's Iran war. Troops and military families describe being abandoned by their own government. “It’s so much worse than people realize.”

James Tallerico goes after Elon Musk on Twitter. 👌

"Vote for us or we won't pay Marines and their families restitution for poisoning them" is one way to go.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

This is sad. General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s historic World War II globe was broken when Pete Hegseth’s team dropped it while trying to move it into his office.

Trump’s economy is bleeding working families dry. The average family has paid over $4,700 more for essentials since he took office. Gas has topped $4 a gallon for more days than in any year on record. Nearly 7 in 10 Americans say gas is unaffordable. Had enough? Show up. VOTE.

Q: The president is coming back to Georgia on Saturday-- OSSOFF: Good. It will remind Georgians of the president's failure

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

Girls! Girls! You're *both* right! Bask in the novelty.

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."

NARRATIVE BUSTER: After months of anti-trans ads by Republicans, the latest ABC/Washington Post/Ipsos poll shows... Democrats have a +9 advantage on "transgender issues." abcnews.com/Politics/dem...

NBC News poll: 71% of U.S. adults think the country is on the wrong track. For the first time in Trump's second term, 'right track' has sunk into the 20s. Trump's approval is just 76% with Republican adults. His approval is 21% with independents.

Pete Buttigieg Is Correct.......

As inflation hits a 4-month high and the Iran war keeps driving up gas prices, Trump unveils his big plan with the midterms two weeks away: a "World Class Championship Golf Course" in D.C. Work starts Nov. 15, closing a public course for about 15 months, he says.

I know the NYT gets a lot of criticism for its headlines but you have to admit that this one is amazing www.nytimes.com/2026/10/17/u...

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

COOK, after shifting 18 races toward Dems this month, moves 11 more. “.. Republicans’ troubles this cycle are particularly pronounced in Midwestern red states, where voters are frustrated by both the federal and state governments’ handling of economic issues.” www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/hou...

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

This is awesome. If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.

In case facts still matter…

SULLIVAN: We weren't supposed to get these questions beforehand, were we? MODERATOR: No, neither one of you got questions beforehand PELTOLA: I'm prepared!

Real wages are shrinking year-over-year for the sixth month in a row. The Iran War brought an end to three years of real wage growth.

September's national average price of gasoline was $4.332/gal according to GasBuddy data, up 6.8% from August's $4.056/gal level, the second highest monthly average in 2026- it was the most expensive September *ever*

* WHITE HOUSE: HAVE ASKED AMBASSADOR TO GREECE GUILFOYLE TO RESIGN @reuters.com

gas prices see tiny 0.4c/gal weekly drop, diesel down 6c/gal, Trump pulling every possible lever to put downward pressure on fuel prices, but a President has little control over global economics- markets skeptical. and why are we trying to buy Russian diesel? we're exporters.

ELECTRIC!!!!!! Es bueno! Es bueno! Es bueno!!!

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

“.. Democratic Midterm Sweep Odds vs. U.S. Diesel Prices” @bloomberg.com

Crooked Susan Collins took thousands of dollars from a medical company before giving them a $4.5 million contract. This is now her 3rd alleged pay-to-play story in the last 2 weeks. https://bit.ly/47LYauM

🤣

Best of the best! What a joke.

“.. The role of a president is to protect the country, not to actively threaten it and encourage attacks on American lives,” she said in a social media statement. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/w...

JUST POSTED: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have pushed a multibillion oil deal with Russia as part of peace talks that will bring profits to their family business partners. A new front for Trump-era conflicts of interest. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)
