🚨 Gov. Josh Shapiro rips into JD Vance in a new interview. “The only smart thing it seems like [Trump] did was not endorsing Vance. That guy is just a profoundly and PATHETICALLY WEAK human being who wants to preach morality every day.”

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

🤣🤣🤣

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Nicki Minaj seems like the perfect spokesperson for MAGA Republicans….

"There’s not enough room in my chest for all this joy". What incredible news to wake up to. First Serbia, now this www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

🖕🧔🏻🛋️

In 2023, the Senate invited John Roberts to testify about Supreme Court ethics. He said no. Clarence Thomas spent years taking luxury trips paid for by a billionaire. Roberts sent a letter. Republicans call that independence. It’s a lifetime hall pass.

You see how stupid this sounds, MAGA? Stop worrying about how everyone else lives their lives and focus harder on not being a piece of shit.

Congratulations to Brazil. The cool cats won!

9 days until the election. Trump's message to America, "We're making a freaking fortune." George Carlin said it best. It's a big club and we're not in it. Get registered and VOTE.

My friends, can you please offer prayers and send some good energy to the Navajo Nation Reservation and surrounding communities. Pilamaya — thank you 🙏🏾 🪶✨

"*Disgusted*? Not by the pedophilia, the abuse, the mother who proffered her own children as sacrifices to her lover? No, JD wasn’t 'disgusted' by any of that. He was 'disgusted' by Republicans who wanted no part in Vivek Ramaswamy’s lies."

A moment of silence for the international far-right propaganda machine, which spent millions trying to export American-style election denial to Brazil, only for the working class to look at the Bolsonaro family and say, "Nah, we're good." The US propaganda machine and tech

This is Ed Sheeran speaking tonight he leads with I'm not political before talking about the 'humanitarian crisis' and then starts with October 7th was a horrific antisemitic attack... It is just Israel speaking, genocide washing.

Bernie Sanders: "If you believe as I do that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States, we need to get rid of that rubber stamp Republican leadership in the House and Senate."

No one is ever going to live on Mars. It’s the dumbest fucking idea in history. The. Planet. Is. Uninhabitable. Translation: that shit ain’t happening. Ever.

Ok. I accept the blame. #VoteThemOut

Trump says if Republicans lose the election it is voters’ fault

See now we're fucking talking One of the only weapons we wield in this fight is our money and attendance, and if everyone involved with an event says "I'm not going unless you stop using AI" there's only two outcomes: *No AI or No Convention* Conventions are made by and for the community

I was having conversations with journalists just a few months ago about whether democracy was doomed. Look at this year: Orban defeated. Vukic defeated. Bolsonaro Jr defeated. Trump heading to likely defeat in midterms. That’s the beauty of democracy. Voters can respond. Don’t count it out yet.

Amid all the Republican pearl-clutching over election integrity, ERIC was the single organization best equipped to help states ensure exactly that. And suddenly MAGA Republicans wanted nothing to do with it.

Until this moment, Vivek, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness… Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

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

Both Czarist and Soviet history teaches that battlefield defeat, not diplomatic victory, cools Moscow’s foreign adventurism and turns Russian attention inward; economic hardship, not commercial success, does the same.  www.thelowdownblog.com/2026/10/why-...

Grown as men harassing women, smh

18 year old Mick Jagger with Keith Richards. They met 65 years ago and decided to make music together. The Rolling Stones just released their latest album, “Foreign Tongues,” and will be taking their songs on the road.

The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

This is horrific. And unsurprisingly the work of a "conservative" multimillionaire. Other adjectives might include creepy, prurient, dictatorial and abusive, not to mention, of course, transphobic. Once more with feeling: we need to get the money out of politics. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

AK Dem Senate candidate Mary Peltola and her family suffered minor injuries Saturday in a car crash while driving to a campaign stop. Wishing @marypeltola.com a swift recovery 🙏🏼💙 Protect this woman at all costs! apnews.com/article/alas...

🤣

First Hungary, now Serbia. We can do this. Please get out and vote so we can start our path back to dignity, self-respect and democratic norms. Enough of being fleeced.
