Bobby Pulido, running for Congress in Texas, is more than a quinceañera singer. The 53-year-old Tejano music legend is the Democratic nominee in a freshly gerrymandered swath of Texas. While the race to unseat his Republican opponent once seemed an uphill battle, polls now consider it a toss-up.

Humbled to have the 44th president with us in our movement to demand more for working people in Michigan. Change is in the air. 🤝

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

5. "The kind of religion that says you can treat people however you want as long as you have a personal relationship with Jesus is an abomination," he told Jimmy Kimmel last month. "It is a cancer on the body of Christ." youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

They’re not paying me for this but go look at memeorandum.com and scroll down. There. You’ve seen literally every political news story that will be on CNN, MS Now, Fox for the next 24 hours. And you did it without goofy anchors and panelists yelling at you. Now go live life.

Grok fact-checks its master 👇🏽 👀

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'

Building on @tbonier.bsky.social's terrific analysis below it is pretty clear now we are seeing a national surge of blacks, young people, and Hispanics in the early vote across the country (all data via TargetEarly):

Hahahaha

At a time when fascist tech zillionaires are using their obscene wealth to fund the entire Republican Party, it's absurd and self-defeating for any Democratic politician to oppose this. This isn't rocket science. They're the bad guys! The people want you to fight them!

So a volunteer IT engineer from Czechia has fixed the PHP issue that blocked 70% of all websites. Imagine if this guy was working for Elon Musk instead…

DHS described the arrests as the “opening salvo” of what it said would be a sustained, large-scale ICE operation.

Trump takes Putin's side as the most unpopular president of our lifetimes. If there's a way to reverse this, it's by convincing his supporters he's Putin's puppet. They already think he's a crook. From there, it's not far to thinking he's a traitor. www.editorialboard.com/why-gop-vote...

there are too many big skeletons in yards during halloween season now. it's too much. everywhere i look another fifteen foot skeleton. we have to stop the sale of giant skeletons until we figure out what the hell is going on.

In 1934, we added a gender-neutral pronoun for a single third person. ‘Thon’ was short for “that one.” It didn’t catch on.

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

NEW AD: “Ken Paxton says I don't have his experience — and he's right. I’ve never been indicted for fraud. I’ve never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I’ve never been impeached by my own party. And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

look man. I realize we live in an era of repulsive politics but this is some low-down shit right here bsky.app/profile/eric...

Approaching the crazification factor.

Oh, Donald . . . That's not a gym. It's a gay bathhouse. And you have *never* looked like that.

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

Trump’s “human printer” sounds an awful lot like the tear-jerking tragic romance novel. trib.al/THDmvta

I’m pretty mad about the drip, drip, drip of guidance on HRT. It’s left some of us out in the cold, reversing the firm “uh huh” to an “of course !”, but just a little too late . If you can use it, absolutely do!

What if you see ICE at the polls? (Don't worry! Read on for the plan!) @indivisible.org roped me in to design and illustrate a new zine! Check it out in this 🧵 - and visit linktr.ee/wewillvote to sign up for the Election Protection Program and find all the resources you need!

Trump started a trade war with our biggest ally and gave a handout to our biggest enemy.

I double dog DARE you to point out ONE thing in this statement that is inaccurate, untrue, misleading or morally warped. I’ll wait.

Bryan Cranston posts about RJ Mitte’s death on Instagram: “It is especially devastating to hear that he took his own life.”

Friends, I'm turning 40 tomorrow. I can't celebrate now because I'm too damn busy with the election. I'll celebrate afterward. So, to help me celebrate now, please--oh, please--check your voter registration. It takes a few moments. It's easy. Do it for me: midterms.voteamerica.org/vote/verify/...

It’s that time of year for my 2010 joke.

David Sedaris, on ridiculously unserious people (I'm editorializing):

Nope. "Artificial intelligence agents created by Anthropic, acting on their own, tried to gain access to a range of government websites, filled out visa applications on the State Department’s website and sent a fake homicide tip to Philadelphia’s Police Department." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

Warrantless stops and violent roving patrols by masked federal agents across California, especially the Central Valley, have been terrorizing farm workers for the past 5 days. The chaos is escalating. full statement: www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

These farm workers are not criminals. These are hard-working, long term members of our communities, being unlawfully and violently targeted simply for looking Latino and working class. The reckless and chaotic tactics being used are a danger to public safety and in clear violation of the law.

So tragic.

And I present to you, ladies and gentlemen, the US Congresswoman from the great state of South Carolina, Nancy Mace! 

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.
