You can thank Republican ownership for that.

Not only a vital defeat of the far right, but also a win of inestimable value for the planet.

Let’s all pre-order @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social ‘s MUSK documentary. It’s essential viewing and certain “powers that be” want it to disappear.

It's time for a change. Vote for leaders like @abdulelsayed.bsky.social and @jocelynbenson.bsky.social who will work every day to make this country better.

Because evidence is not enough for concern. That's crazy.

Oh, no, whatever you do, Do Not Vote for a Socialist.

In state election boards & county offices, GOP officials have been closing polling places and making it harder to vote. The bet is that enough people will get tired, give up, and stay home. But this month, a group of college students made it clear that their gamble will backfire. (link in comments)

Camels are so greedy.

Vivek just released a new ad with Acton’s estranged mother that cut out the part where she claimed Acton lied about living in a tent after proof came out that she did live in a tent, so basically the bitter old hag is now just saying Acton lied at 12 about being sexually abused.

Most people don’t realize this: the stupid ballroom is much larger than the actual White House. Trump is like just, trashy

Uhm, who, exactly, can make a fortune? People living next door?

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Interesting energy in the speculative market: D sweep 67%; D House, R Senate 26% polymarket.com/event/balanc...

All this time I never knew Clinton in 2000 could have directed DOJ to sue to make sure Florida election officials in Broward county were allowed to question voters on if they were confused by the ballot design when they voted for Buchanan.

And the folks that double-down with him. That remark that JD dropped, "something something someone may have mentioned alcohol..." will bite him.

This is important. Over the last few years, Putin had established 'unilateral deterrence': NATO was afraid to do things that might provoke him to use nukes, but he wasn't afraid of NATO's nukes. This is a step towards re-establishing the credibility of UK & FR nukes, regardless of what Trump does.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

In the wake of all this, I hope that at the very least, we never see another think piece lambasting adult children for cutting off ties with their parents.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

The plain fact of it is thus: the Trump administration wants to re-segregate higher education. It is a racist project straight-up-no-chaser. Accommodating any of this puts you on the wrong side of history, makes you a collaborator in this project. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

I’m glad Congress isn’t alive to see this.

Hundreds of lawyers are spending election week in war rooms & courthouses, ready to file at a moment's notice More than a dozen national firms are in it w/ @democracydefendersaction.org & our complaints are already written Bring it on More @financialtimes.com👇 -TN

$168 million. That’s what Elon Musk has spent trying to buy Texas a senator named Ken Paxton. Let’s show him Texas is NOT for sale. 🗳️ #JamesTalarico #VoteBlue #Texas

The Somali guy hopping on the school bus to save the children even as Stephen Miller wants to denaturalize and deport him is a metaphor for our time.

988,000 people bought into Trump’s crypto scam. Maybe start there.

a deranged Peter Navarro lies on Newsmax of covid that Fauci "created the virus himself"

There goes whatever shred of hope he had for the presidency. Wonder what Usha thinks?

Now that Wedgewood Polls has been exposed as fakers, let's consider the odd fact that this year not one but TWO polling firms put out a fake poll and then claimed it had been a "social experiment" to see if fake data would enter the mainstream. Median Strategies used the same phrase in August. 1/

It's time to defund Elon. robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

I don't think any state would want to do business with a company run by a capricious megalomaniac. Good luck on making that India sale, Elon.

Welcome to East Germany.

Forbes describes how Trump used an environmental easements on Trump National Golf Club in Florida to dodge $825 million in taxes, "give or take a couple hundred million." This is how Todd Blanche is helping Trump cheat on his taxes. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

A despicable ad from Vivek Ramaswamy who is a despicable person. Desperate Republicans have run some horrible, dishonest ads to distract from their failures in office, but maybe none worse than this one.

Ted Cruz's former intern and organizer for the largest conservative youth summit in Texas has just confirmed he voted for James Talarico.

They are the bestest

Good fucking god, did you just "not relevant" a direct question from the judge?

Early voting complete.
