Life was already hard enough before Donald Trump lied us into war, before his tariffs made everything more expensive, and before he doubled your health insurance premiums and slashed Medicaid.

Hakeem Jeffries has already spoken to Mike Johnson about the transfer of power WHEN Democrats take the House. ☠️ “The elections are going to be decisive enough that it’s going to be clear that Democrats are going to be in control of the House of Representatives.”

When Donald Trump launched his campaign, he was caught hiring paid actors to pad the audience. (I also happened to be the one that busted him doing so). www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Yesterday, Brazil and Serbia secured major wins for democracy. In 8 days, it’s our turn. #NoKings ❌👑

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

People don’t understand why I keep noting that BlueSky is not a bubble, it is a counterpublic. It serves its own organizational function: you can see in realtime in January 2025, on multiple types of social media, shouting that an executive order is instruction to an agency. This one stuck.

I really like the point made here: Dems should be making a public case right now for novel tactics like defunding Trump's corrupt prosecutions, to make them more intelligible later:

BREAKING: Another immigrant has died in ICE custody, the 28th death in ICE detention in 2026.

lol, ok

Todd Blanche botched the Epstein cover-up, and he’s still not releasing the files. Survivors deserve answers. It’s time to get more aggressive, and that starts with winning the majority.

Trump’s campaign “red state blitz” is turning into a traveling disaster. Hecklers, angry voters, Vivek’s disgusting ad, Ashley Hinson’s weak-ass embrace. Republicans are supposed to be closing strong in red states. Instead, they’re unraveling and the backlash is becoming the story.

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

"Both top-shelf reporting and top officials in the Trump administration, including Trump himself, have said that Musk made this decision on his own. That would be treason. The traditional way to figure out the truth of such a matter is with a trial." prospect.org/2026/10/26/d...

The Valkyries stretched their lead to 12 points with a 10-2 run in the first half of the fourth quarter and controlled the rest of the game from there.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Remember when Ted Cruz and other Republicans swooned over Russian military ads to mock Biden and our “woke” troops? An estimated 1.5 million Russian casualties later, Ukraine is still standing. Turns out cosplay tough isn’t real tough

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

Corporate Media: we cover fake Democratic scandals & ignore real Republican scandals because Republicans spoon feed us lies and we must take their lies seriously. Democrats: here are details of Trump raping & sexually trafficking girls. Corporate Media: don't say that about our Special Little Boy!

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.”

Dayton showed up! John Legend, thank you for coming home and getting in the fight.

The Daily Show finds a group of Texas Republicans and discovers that they don't know what the word "nonbinary" means, but they like to say it a lot. bsky.app/profile/thed...

The legend himself 🇺🇸 Grateful for the support from Shotgun Willie!

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald is still doing the heavy lifting on keeping the story alive. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Under Bari Weiss' direction, CBS News falsifies Angie Nixon's response to a simple question about Cuba. It's not the old CBS News.

Listen, when I said the tent was big enough for all of us, this is not what the fuck I meant. Thanks for the publicity or whatever, but Neo-nazis need not apply.

Not on the New York Times home page apparently, but it is on the People home page.

Trump's heavy campaigning in Michigan has a predictable effect: the Democrats have opened up much larger leads over their opponents.

TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

David Jolly: "The problem in this environment is not that I used to be a Republican. It's that Byron Donalds still is one."

I've already seen some effort to bury this as "there's not a lot new here." As if, "What's one more rape victim?" is sound editorial judgment. Republicans kept the Benghazi story going for years on nothing new, but that didn't stop to press from covering every nothing burger they served up.

Trump’s presidency is a wealth transfer from the bottom to the top

Republicans who defended Vivek Ramaswamy's disgusting ad showed us the moral collapse of the GOP. Watch LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens on MSNOW:

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

Here's the schedule for briefing in Trump's attempt to steal Mary Petola's win. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Neil Young Rocks Trump With $10M Suit Over Using That ‘Free World’ Tune Again https://deadline.com/2026/10/neil-young-sues-trump-copyright-1237205848/ via Deadline (on X)

@gtconway.bsky.social unloads on Trump, Vance, and Ramaswamy over the vile attack ad against Amy Acton. "These people are so infected with Trump's sociopathy that they actually turn down any possible opportunity they have to demonstrate to the world that they have any decency."

🔥 BEN MEISELAS ERUPTS: The Cheesecake Factory faux outrage exposes the propaganda machine. They brainwash Americans into fighting each other while oligarchs steal our healthcare, send our kids to endless wars, and buy more yachts. Divide the people. Enrich the oligarchs.

You never know who you might run into when you show up to volunteer for the Democratic Party! Randi Whitegarden, President of the American Federation of Teachers, joined our phonebank to flip the House.

Our students and our labor movement in Michigan are ready for a BLUE WAVE!

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

By November 3rd: Vote !! It’s our turn.

Tina Peters attacked our elections when she gave an election conspiracy theorist access to Mesa’s counties voting equipment. I then stepped in to remove her from direct elections oversight and ensure Mesa County’s elections remained secure.

Heckler SCREAMS at Trump: ‘Shove That Ballroom Up Your A**!’

Sen. Sanders: I have a suggestion for Trump. Instead of lying and throwing hatred against Abdul and his family, why don't you explain to the American people why you threw 15 million Americans off their healthcare to give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1%?

Minnesotans know that you get what you organize for. President Obama knows that too. We stood up to Donald Trump once. On November 3rd, let’s do it again.

MICHIGAN: Early voting has begun! Voting early is the best way to make sure your ballot is safe from suppression efforts and election sabotage. Not in Michigan? Help drive historic early vote turnout by sharing this post. Visit 866ourvote.org for more info.
