It was the worst crime spree in US history. All these DOGE fuckers need to go to jail. 

Whether Netanyahu wins or loses the Israel election, there is no upside. Replacing a criminal with another while maintaining a policy of genocide and apartheid is no victory. Changing the face of power means nothing if the system of oppression remains intact. There are no "gentle" genocides.

AIPAC's super PAC funded attack ads through groups with progressive-sounding names. Here are a few of them: 👩 Elect Chicago Women ⚖️ Pro-Choice Majority Action 🗳️ Elect Democratic Women None of the ads disclosed AIPAC’s role.

Trump's assistant, Natalie Harp & the KC CEO swapped 11 texts the day the board voted to close it Lots of chatter about a building he wants "ripped down." Now he claims privilege?? @democracydefendersaction.org & @washlitgroup.bsky.social are in court for @repbeatty.bsky.social to get them👇 -TN

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

ICE thugs are sending immigrants to countries that they have never been to, because there are orders by judges protecting them from being returned to their home country due to persecution. But these third party countries are sending them back to their home country, anyway. #ICELawlessness

We can't count on social media platforms controlled by MAGA billionaires to get out urgent alerts. As censorship of the No Kings Coalition Instagram account proved, Mark Zuckerberg's Meta may suspend or throttle accounts anytime.

10 years ago today, Trump’s DC hotel opened. It taught him people will pay a sitting president, and there will be no repercussions. Want to understand the second term’s corruption? Start with the hotel:

Thank you, Ed Miliband. And let's not forget that the Emiratis sit at the core of this tragedy, and Trump's buddy Erik Prince is also mysteriously fluttering around it.

It’s peak Trumpism when Republicans blow up a school full of Iranian Muslim girls and then call an American politician a terrorist because he’s Muslim.

There has been an extraordinary effort to get low propensity voters to cast ballots this election and it appears to be working. 42% of the voters in Harris County TX yesterday skipped at least one of the last three elections. And you can see that number is growing daily.

Voters have the power & Trump admin is AFRAID of you That's why they brought their B.S. lawsuit about noncitizen voter registration last week--& that's why they arrested a tiny handful of folks in CA today Don't be deterred by these pre-election stunts. VOTE EARLY! We at DDF r fighting back👇

No one needs to listen to James Carville about anything. But I'll keep saying this until I'm blue in the face: It's not the lefties who hold Democrats hostage in Congress, IT'S THE MODERATES. Bernie Sanders never killed a Democratic bill he didn't like. You know who did? Joe Manchin. Many times.

If this report is right that Musk is trying to engineer Ukraine's defeat, then his motivations are more complex than just making money and avoiding liability. This move is not the way to make the GOP win. So Musk cares MORE about hurting Ukraine than about winning races. Ask why - who he answers to.

Success in our @katiephang.bsky.social case: DOJ has finally produced to the court the handwritten notes from the Epstein Files referencing Donald Trump. We're making progress.

The Department of Homeland Security and Los Angeles US Attorney Bill Essayli took time out of the day to fact check me, and in so doing appear to suggest that their own lawsuit is wrong. I hope the California is paying attention; they are saying online what they weren’t willing to say in court.

Meta should be broken up—at the least—if Dems retake White House

i’ve been writing about crypto for a while now, but this new addition to the $TRUMP memecoin website fine print may be the most blatant “lol you suckers are our exit liquidity” i’ve seen so far

There is nothing he won't lie about because he is completely disconnected from even the concept of truth. He makes up whatever he thinks will make Trump look good with absolutely no consideration for whether it has any basis in reality. And it makes him very angry anytime this is pointed out.

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

ADAM JOHNSON: “The raid on @repilhan’s home has thus far received zero of the above media interventions. No editorials, no opinion columns in the Times, Post, or Journal…” theintercept.com/2026/10/15/i...

Texas sued after glitch delays almost 600,000 voter registrations

Has Trump said anything presidential about the shooting?

1/ It's wild that we're already halfway through October!🍂 I'm back with your weekly infectious disease roundup. The TLDR: Flu is sweeping across the West, the summer Covid wave is still lingering, and ticks are making their fall comeback. Here’s what I’m watching 👇

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

🚨BREAKING: DOJ’s demand that California prevent an unverified list of alleged noncitizens from voting or face legal action “appears to be a plausible threat that DOJ will attempt to engage in warrant-based ballot seizure,” the DNC said in a new court filing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

So in the past few days Trump has taken sanctions off Russia’s energy, asked to buy diesel from Russia, restricted SpaceX Starlink, stopped sharing intel on incoming missiles, & asked Europe to unfreeze Russian assets to give to Russia. Hope Americans aren’t confused on who he works for

As I said 5 months ago, diesel going up makes everything more expensive for everyone, which is reflected in this month’s inflation numbers coming in above estimates. They will get worse next month and worse the month after that.

Donors of $333 million to the ballroom include "contributors who have benefited from regulatory decisions, government contracts and, in one case, a pardon for a family member." From @washingtonpost.com wapo.st/4yiUDPx

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Oh, well... this is just a coincidence, I'm sure...

ok i’m kind of miffed that the russian bot farm problem was this easy to mitigate against and i really wish ukraine had done it years ago now

Know why Meta's research write-offs have skyrocketed? They're claiming their data centers as "experimentation." Total BS. Multi-billion-dollar corporations should pay their fair share to the country that makes them successful. Instead, they manipulate endless loopholes.

"Groimes, they kilt my preecious bahts!"

May we explore the wonders of the cosmos without exterminating the majesty of our own backyard. Musk: No.

come 2028 vance will be cutting ads specifically denouncing his in-laws for coming to the united states

The First Amendment wasn’t actually “first.” The original First Amendment was meant to ensure that the House of Representatives grew in loose proportion to the country. Instead, the House’s size hasn’t changed since 1911. Today’s “One First” on that history—and the problems a capped House creates:

The Trump regime wants to dismantle the International Criminal Court because it plans to continue committing war crimes. The Trump regime is refusing to allow international election monitors because it plans to continue committing election fraud. They are not being subtle.

NEW: Maybe it's time to take a good look at all these deaths in the Epstein-Trump orbit. jkbjournalist.substack.com/p/dead-men-t...

He will still be president…

The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

And we still can take this shit seriously! In fact, we *must* still take this shit seriously! If we don’t grind this kind of conduct into a fine powder and fire it into the depths of space then it is going to continue.

All these tech guys going 'look, you don't need musicians anymore! We can just generate whatever music you want!' and it's the fucking POPE who has to explain to them that art occupies a space not replaceable by the products of machines.

"I’m just thinking out loud here, but maybe a political party that has dedicated the last forty years to taking away women’s rights could also give some thought to how to protect girls and women after they’re born?" buff.ly/K3eqEvg

The minute anyone tries to hold Susan Collins accountable for her contradictions, POOF! She's gone
