Classic Trump MO and Epstein MO for that matter.

Yeah I don’t wanna hear anything about the Dan Sullivan scandal. The GOP does this all the time. Peltola didn’t know about it. The main source was fired and retracted their story. And even if the campaign DID do it, fight fire with fire. It’s legal. Just like gerrymandering.

The President was credibly accused of rape this week.

When a society allow so few individuals to accumulate such an unfathomably enormous hoard of wealth that they can spend over $2.7 billion to influence an election, and not even put a dent into their bank accounts you don’t have a democracy #dsa #news #editorialcartoon #midterms2026 #eattherich

Sounds familiar.

When this is all done I'm going to write a Netflix comedy about how incompetent Trump's prosecutors are.

Lina Khan on Mamdani: "One thing we saw the mayor be very attentive to is all sorts of daily nickel and diming -- taking on junk fees, subscription traps. Those can seem very micro and targeted, but in the aggregate I see those as really designed to take on unfair methods of competition."

Spoiler Alert: He didn't have legal authority to do so

If that’s not enough, the county was forced to raise property taxes by 15% overall to try and pay the difference. Cut the ballroom and help communities like Bricelyn.

Because raping children wasn’t a red line for enough of the electorate.

This is great.

Scary Lawyerguy: "Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein"

You can win every election up and down the ballot and if you don't use the power you have aggressively and at every turn it's useless

Okay, I deleted the original post because people didn't check the link at all and mistook my typo of "young men" seriously. I clearly meant young women. Not sure why this isn't a bigger story, but I read this entire report today. It's gutting. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Very blunt, but clearly Ossoff knows truth is a defense.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

🚨 A bombshell new House Judiciary Democrats report details allegations from 11 women linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, including five who accuse Trump of sexual assault. The report also alleges a sweeping DOJ cover-up. We broke down the explosive findings.

Bluesky is acting funky in Firefox? When I click repost, it resets to the top of the page and doesn't let me repost?

So how did Lula come from behind to defeat Bolsonaro? In short, turnout. Bolsonaro's vote share barely moved. But Lula banked millions of votes from those who didn't vote in the first round & won eliminated candidates' votes. A remarkable mobilisation. Second round turnout is usually below first.

Vučić ❌ Bolsonaro ❌ Netanyahu MAGA

I don't know, maybe Democrats could spend years actually organizing there and investing the way Republicans do? But we're talking science fiction now.

Huge problem is that even if you pay high premiums on ACA exchanges, denials of coverage persist--so that you have to spend so much time on the phone fighting, for what is clearly supposed to be covered. The insurance companies are getting away with murder. And theft. Literally.

Elizabeth Warren Is 💯% Correct...

seriously, this is really important - the board says the change was necessary to ensure Zuck stayed in California. But Brian's point is, even if he left, he'd still be subject to the tax. Which means "i need to leave bc TAX" never made sense.

Pretty nearly the whole actual point of getting white college students to go to Mississsippi for Freedom Summer was to draw national media attention

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

The New York State Police are “ignoring, enabling” and “excusing” domestic violence by some of their employees. That’s what one expert told me after hearing details from records we obtained about domestic incidents involving State Police employees. 1/5

“Raises questions”?? In this Kavanaugh Stop, ICE agents swerve to hit a US citizen, knock him off his bike breaking his arm, tase him, cuff him as he screams in pain, blame him, lie about everything, threaten to charge him for damage to their SUV. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

Often "powerless" is used as a synonym for "lazy".

one of the things that's going to be really important once we get out of this is telling the story of what actually happened in 2025 and 2026. There are going to be a lot of powerful people who were very wrong who will depend on society memory holing what happened in this period.

Navigating changes to Medicaid and SNAP shouldn't mean navigating a maze to get help. Today, we're launching HART, a new outreach team helping New Yorkers keep their health coverage, food benefits and get support on everything from housing assistance to eviction prevention.

She's a national treasure. Huge thanks to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for the clarity, context, and fortitude she brings to this moment. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-17...

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

IT APPEARS... abc.com nbc.com cbs.com SHOWED ZERO ON THEIR LEGACY NETWORKS... REGARDING AMERICA'S NO KINGS RALLY TODAY!!!!

CBS News reports that former US Army Chief of Staff General Randy George warned in December 2025 that critical Patriot and THAAD missile defence shortages would persist until 2030. Trumpseth kicked him out in April during the Iran war. If no one’s saying it, it doesn’t exist.

~300 patriots protesting in Ellsworth, Maine out for #NoKings Day. “Hey hey! Ho ho! Susan Collins has got to go!”

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.
