Putin is meddling in the midterms to help Trump by once again mounting a covert disinformation operation that’s spreading phony sex abuse allegations about a Democrat. Ought to be big news.

Rightwing politics is a smash and grab operation. Crude, violent rhetoric to get attention. Grandiose promises. Chest-pounding to convey energy. Menacing the polls. Once elected, bullying and defiance of all restraint in order to hold power. People are sick of it.

1. A group formed last week called “Progressive Alliance of Wisconsin” is attacking David Crowley, the state’s Democratic nominee for governor, with hundreds of thousands in attack mailers. A Popular Information investigation has linked the effort to GOP operatives.

Without question, the defense attorney in the Jan6 election subversion case is aware and prepared to defend his clients' intent to overturn a lawful election. Blanche's loyalty lies with Trump not the US Constitution, rule of law or the people. An untenable conflict of interest.

Thread 🧵: the fraudulent transgender mailers have a connection back to Dallas, Texas, where a local Republican megadonor used a similar playbook years ago when he funded a fake BLM group to send letters to wealthy white parents that were designed to discredit the BLM movement.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

Trump must be punished for his consistent pattern of lying about elections. The impunity has to end. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...

I’ve already come up with a half dozen conspiracies after seeing this.

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are

Political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security wanted CISA, an agency that protects election systems, to acquire and hack a voting machine, which shocked staffers. “This goes against everything CISA represents,” a former official said.

"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. .. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage .. But nothing flourishes in that world." This is very well articulated A fascinating read:

Sen. Wyden said Donald Trump is putting kids at risk of falling into "horrific cycles of trafficking" and the new ICE facility for unaccompanied children in Louisiana "will be another black box location for the Trump administration to disappear migrant children" www.thequeenzone.com/new-ice-faci...

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

This is C-O-R-R-U-P-T-I-O-N.   Remember World Liberty Financial? The Trump family crypto venture that’s generated more than $550 million for Trump while in office, run by the son of his Middle East envoy, and nearly half-owned by UAE-linked investors? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Sternenko is a credible person. Elon Musk has been found to have a pathological disregard for the truth and repeatedly gives perjured testimony under oath. Who would you believe? In any event, the truth is easily discernible through objective means.

The guy is batsh*t crazy. Just print the truth in a headline @ajc.com @bluestein.bsky.social

probably you shouldn’t say that yeah

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Will the @ajc.com editorial board condemn Trump for this #GA speech & the Republican Party for ever normalizing this lifelong business buffoon, crook & self admitted serial sex offender? Sec Clinton was right about EVERYTHING. Cc @bluestein.bsky.social

Crazy grandpa is talking about Russian spies in the White House? Please continue.

Remember when Media & Political Elite promised US that Trump was tapping into “economic anxiety” not racism?

Anyway damn everyone who over the last 10 years tried to gaslight us into believing that we were not seeing what we were obviously seeing.

Trump says that when Rick Jackson is governor of Georgia and Mike Collins is senator, the first thing they will do is call him and say "please send in the National Guard" to Atlanta

Trump: Atlanta is a hellhole

This guy?

Reagan talked about welfare queens in Cadillacs, Trump talks about Somalian thieves in Mercedes Benzes, because being *real* racist has been a core strategy Republican politicians for a very long time, even if prior to Trump a lot of folks who should have known better enjoyed pretending otherwise.

ICE yesterday formally awarded Acentra $163,125,147.01 to operate its medical claims processing system until Oct. 24, 2030.

MICHIGAN, BRING IT HOME! 🔥 Barack Obama reminds voters to vote Democrat all the way down the ballot. From the top of the ticket to the very last race. No skipping races. No sitting this one out. #BlueWaveIn10Days
