Imagine my surprise when I found out that Elon Musk wants to send me to prison. I assure you I’m not going to be intimidated. My response. ⬇️ https://robertreich.substack.com/p/musk-wants-me-imprisoned

The Paxtons’ blind trust invested $600K in a convicted fraudster’s new company. Experts say the trust wasn’t truly blind as the Paxtons reported losses from it on their taxes. Angela Paxton also sat on an affiliate’s advisory board for several years. with @texastribune.org

Early voting just crossed 30 million That’s 30 million Americans casting ballots before Election Day, while Trump’s DOJ unsuccesfully runs around trying to throw ballots out The courts are one line of defense -- the ballot box is the strongest one, & your vote is how we hold it -TN

Elon apparently wasn't too happy about our latest episode of the Coffee Klatch — and my criticisms of him. Here's the full conversation, in case you missed it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa6g...

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

If you wanted one headline to explain what happened to us, this might do it: trying to make bank off a ten percent chance of killing us all

Most Americans abhor what they see, because what they see is abhorrent. This is how the great sleeping giant of America awakens, roars, and puts an end to it. This is how America throws the bums out on November 3.

Backlash to data centers might very well be the biggest issue in the midterms, with nearly 70 percent of Americans opposing them. Is it any wonder why?

No matter who wins Israel's elections, Palestinians are unlikely to see much change in policy. "The opposition is very much like Netanyahu," says Diana Buttu.

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

How has the Trump administration dismantled safeguards meant to protect the vote, and what does it all mean for the midterm elections? On Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 4 p.m. ET, join our election team to discuss what’s at stake. 📌 RSVP now: https://events.propublica.org/voting-guardrails/bluesky

Trump has a rally tonight in Mississippi, in case you're wondering how things are shaping up for Republicans

The Democrats’ focus on affordability seems to be a winning strategy. But we mustn’t lose sight of the moral squalor at the core of the Trump regime and the necessity of ending it. My latest for The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/oct/23/trump-moral-squalor

People saying Trump has no health care plan are wrong. This is it 👇🏽

These numbers are telling. CBS News projects Democrats at 229 House seats to Republicans’ 206. Look at what voters are saying: • 65% say the economy is bad. • 57% say Trump’s policies have hurt them financially. • DON’T MISS THIS: 83% say government corruption is a major factor in their vote.

GURMAN: “.. iPhone Duo screen-cracking issue is real. .. the company is investigating. Several people have sent me images and stories of their new $2000 device breaking within hours.” @markgurman.bsky.social $AAPL www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Dem Senate candidates have lost a little less than 0.5 pts of vote margin over last 2 weeks, while the generic ballot has trended up for them by about 1 point. Overall state of the race is unchanged: Dems have leads well below size of normal poll error fiftyplusone.news/forecast/sen...

The midterms are going so well for Republicans that Trump is campaigning in Mississippi and Vance is in Montana today.

Meat eaters will argue that plants feel pain while deforesting entire continents to grow crops to feed animals that definitely feel pain.

Trump’s DOJ sued Utah for every voter’s private data, then told the official who said no she was under investigation. A judge Trump picked threw it out. That’s 27 straight losses. 106 letters to 4,500. Make Congress shut it down: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

The resistance around the world keeps growing. Brazil and Serbia are thousands of miles apart, but people in both countries are standing up to authoritarianism. They’ve shown us what can happen when people refuse to give up.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

🚨BREAKING: Democratic candidate Mary Peltola and her party asked a federal court in Alaska to throw out DOJ's unprecedented lawsuit that seeks to preemptively block certification of Alaska’s U.S. Senate race if the Republican incumbent loses. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

NEW: Brent Taylor is the front-runner for one of Memphis’ congressional districts, recently redrawn from majority Black to majority white. As state senator, he repeatedly used his power to supersede local officials — and the will of the city’s voters. with @mlk50.com

This interview has almost 1 million views in four days and has generated a big new wave of interest in "The Nerd Reich." Here's how I explained tech fascism to DW News (German public media) on a windy beach near the Golden Gate Bridge. 🌉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=2176...

If the AI bubble bursts, "we need a people-first bailout," says writer @astra.bsky.social.

It's a very dangerous time for the economy right now. Here's why.

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

Serbia and Brazil. Let's keep it going.

Serbia's longtime leader Aleksander Vučić has been swept out of power by a historic student-led opposition movement, sparked by the collapse of a train station in 2024. The Student List "wiped out" other opposition parties, says journalist Lela Vujanić.

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

Attn: USPS changes mean your ballot may not be postmarked the same day you mail it. Don’t wait until Election Day! Deadlines vary by state. Some require ballots to ARRIVE by Election Day, not just be postmarked.

Trump says fraud is robbing America blind. He's right. Jamie Raskin's staff counted how much got wiped out, case by case, and whose signature did it. Trump's Republicans will never hold that hearing. Democrats will. The number is in here.

The only Planned Parenthood in the UP closed in 2025. Medicare for All means access to medical care for all, in every corner of the country.

I know that everyone is focused on Trump's attacks in California and Alaska. My team is fighting in court in both places. But understand the fight for free and fair elections is much broader. Elias Law Group is currently litigating 92 voting and election cases in 42 states plus DC.
