Did you know we’re below the minimum recommended amount of oil, and just barely above the *statutory minimum* in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve? Lowest level since 1982, and gas is still through the roof. What happens when the war in Iran kicks back off?

The percentage of working-age adults without health insurance has increased in the past two years, largely because many people can no longer afford Obamacare coverage after Congress allowed federal subsidies to expire at the end of last year. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/10/26/r...

House Judiciary Democrats have released a 50-page report examining Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, including accounts involving 11 women and a new rape allegation that the White House denies. With just 8 days until the midterms, the report is raising explosive new questions.

Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.

As his policies bankrupt them, Trump-supporting farmers fully embrace socialism. But only if it’s for them.

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?

Here’s another example of abuse. Same as the Dana Bash clip, he attacks her for not giving him time to speak, then gaslights her about what’s in his lawsuit. I bet a lot of women recognize this behavior.

It’s never been more clear that racism is a scam perpetrated by wealthy elites to convince working people to blame someone other than the wealthy elite.

Using AI to take her out of her hijab (and then pretending she’s bald) is fucking sending me to a level of molten rage I never knew existed

So proud of the “Discover What Makes You Special” episode of Reading Rainbow. Fills my heart with joy to see the library kids talking about being autistic, about their neurodivergence, about their disability. It’s a blessing to witness children believing they are special ✨ youtu.be/-T9rkthr5is?...

Taxing the rich is absolutely essential to saving our economy and our democracy. Don't believe me? Look at this chart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHmiaRj_voY

US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

NEWS: Robert De Niro delivers a blistering rebuke of Trump and the Supreme Court in a new video condemning threats to voting rights. “I’ve got a message for them: no f**king way.” He urges Americans to vote early and protect their right to vote. Watch.

BREAKING: ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico sues Jeffrey Epstein's attorney and accountant, accusing them of concealing his sex trafficking operation.

Thanks for always having my back ❤️ see you on the campaign trail.

Do not trust the polls. Do not allow yourself to become complacent. Vote early — and get your friends and family to vote. Do not let Elon, Big Tech, Big Oil, AI, and the billionaire class buy this election. We outnumber them — and we're the only ones that can put an end to this nightmare.

Study finds over 40% of mass attackers had a history of domestic violence. Parsing out the 50 subset of workplace attackers, that number goes up to 53%. Nearly all of the attacks were carried out by men who acted alone. abcnews.com/Politics/per...

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.

AI shouldn't be able to fire you, fire a weapon, or deny you healthcare.

I can think of a few things I need to report. 1. Trump’s reflecting pool scam 2. Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel’s use of government assets for personal matters 3. Kristi Noem’s DHS contracts to friends

In Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the BBC, the BBC is playing hardball: subpoenaing fmr Special Counsel, Jack Smith, for his depo. Meanwhile, the court demands Trump explain why he is avoiding his own depo. Why it’s likely Trump will drop the case to avoid his depo: youtu.be/QD6uqvNNd-k?...

FYI: Bailing out farmers is socialism.

saw someone compare mamdani to goku and el-sayed to vegeta and that seems right to me

Trump is the one who filed this lawsuit. Now he refuses to participate in discovery while his sons and daughter duck discovery subpoenas.

ironically, a program seemingly designed to just give money to the regime's friends and allies is textbook fraud

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Federal, state, and local officers conspired to carry out an unlawful and discriminatory raid to detain hundreds of attendees at a predominately Latino family event in Idaho. Our new short documentary tells the story of our clients who were detained and the impact it had on their families.

Poverty is a policy decision. Concentrated wealth is a policy decision. Inequality is a policy decision. Economic inequality is not some naturally occurring phenomenon. It is the consequence of choices. One question I always urge my students to ask: who is the market organized for — and why?

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Watching Vance light his 2028 prospects on fire in real time is something

Donald has no problem pronouncing the names of people who give him lots of money. He won't even make fun of your name with crass, racist jokes.

Nixon infected the modern Republican Party with a sickness that would ultimately kill it. Trump applied the coup de grace. The Republican Party is now officially dead. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-tragic-death-of-the-republican

If Gavin Newsom runs for president in 2028, remember whose side he was on in the fight to rein in the wealth and power of billionaires in California. With @wkamaubell.bsky.social

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

This is a really striking tweet.

A career Supreme Court reporter revels in a Christian nationalist attack from a Republican politico portraying himself as just some guy asking questions

🔥 “Answer the question, Tommy — I think you’re the one who needs to read the constitution, not me.” @abdulelsayed.bsky.social skillfully handles a bigoted Islamophobic heckler and exposes him as the true religious zealot in the room.

“I hope this fuels people’s internal fire to get out the early vote.” I chat with @ezralevin.bsky.social about META taking down the No Kings Instagram account. This demands an investigation. Listen to our whole conversation here: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

Abortion stigma matters—not just so people who get abortions aren’t made to feel like shit, but because it actually can affect quality of care, per this study. It’s not just a language choice.

The language was tuned to maximum inbound “signal.” That’s what they do. It comes from the top. They’re a data harvester. A 21st century data broker. Their revisions and press statement close to midnight last night don’t resolve things.

The president of Brazil has won a court case against Meta, after accusing them of restricting his posts and algorithmically favoring his opponent, Flavio Bolsonaro www.nbcnews.com/world/south-...

BREAKING: Katie Zacharia FIRED from her job as press secretary. An official has told Peter Doocy of Fox she is currently “transitioning out” of the role.

Ultra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?
