While Republican Super PACs are dominant, Democratic candidates are leading their Republicans opponents when it comes to individual donations. That's a strong sign of Democratic momentum with voters. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart

The fucking audacity of this man. Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukrainians are fighting for their fucking lives. Defending yourself against an invading army isn’t warmongering. The sheer arrogance of playing God with other people’s survival while lecturing the world about morality is absolutely revolting.

Sorry, what element of the “renewed attacks and scrutiny” Al-Sayed has come under for his “ethnicity, religion and family” does the NYT think qualify as “pointed questions” rather than “ugly attacks”? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/u...

It features a huge ballroom with niches for portraits of the dictator and his wife and a sliding roof so that a helicopter can enter and exit. The building also had a nuclear bunker. The aesthetic sense of the two men is much the same but Trump’s construction will probably be even worse.

BREAKING: Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help.

It’s indicative of the failure of this whole Alberta separation referendum process that separatist leaders are saying that they’ve “already won” before any of the results come in. Everyone who had a role in forcing this referendum to happen should be ashamed at that.
As Canada awaits the Alberta separation referendum results, let’s remember how stupid this all is. Huge public money spent on a Russian & American-fuelled separation movement for an awfully-written and badly managed unbinding referendum on whether to hold a binding referendum that would be illegal.

"when the court develops an outsize sense of its own authority and when it uses that authority to impose its policy preferences and, increasingly, its partisan preferences on the rest of us, the arrangement becomes untenable. That has happened before, and it is manifestly the case now."
I’ve got a piece in the @nytimes.com this morning about why Supreme Court reform has to be at the top of any agenda for democratic repair www.nytimes.com/2026/10/13/o...
