One of the most competitive House races in US is Wisconsin’s 3rd. Democrat, Rebecca Cooke, is ready to kick out incumbent and 1/6 insurrectionist, Derrick Van Orden. She joins me for the latest in her race, including Van Orden’s repeated use of AI-generated deepfake ads. youtu.be/vaWfahm9NLQ?...

I still feel like all the street parties when Biden was declared the winner were just memory wiped. But we could have that again.

If only there were a Nobel Prize for heckling

A recent court ruling dealt a significant blow to the Department of Justice under President Donald Trump, as federal judges dismissed an emergency request tied to the administration's self-proclaimed crisis....

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

This report has a lot more information than that one less-than-credible accusations against Trump. If people read (I know, it's an impossible ask), you'll see there are three more I would deem extremely well-evidenced and credible.

CAP: Trump war "raised prices across the board, increased inflation, and costs about $2,000 per household.... a broader range of costs and high burn rate for munitions … suggest the cost of Operation Epic Fury could have reached more than $100 billion.” Then there's fuel and food costs.

El-Sayed: "If you, like me, are sick and tired of wondering why we had to dodge lettuce all summer, wondering why the guy who leads HHS literally takes his grandkids swimming in shit's creek? I think we all could agree we probably need a public health senator right about now."

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

Ken Paxton is a shameless crook. Only someone with incredibly low standards would vote for him.

In a dramatic twist, President Donald Trump's strategy to replace dissenting Republican lawmakers with loyal supporters has backfired, leaving him to navigate a minefield of discontent as key allies turn their backs when he needs them most....

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I keep saying this: Stephen Miller is trying hard to preemptively scapegoat someone ELSE in case the GOP loses Texas. But they're naming him by name. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

At some point, all but the least-recoverable cultists are going to realize there is nothing behind any of the curtains. The last two years are leading up to that point: next Tuesday. Vote!

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.

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

Nature is crazy.

Maurene Comey must be REINSTATED to her federal prosecutor job with backpay, a federal judge has ruled. He adds that accepting Trump DOJ's position would "unsettle the very equilibrium established by this Nation’s constitutional system." Doc buff.ly/CDtADgH

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

"On a scale from 1- 10, how are you worried about the disappearance of our remaining forest and it's resources?"

Embassy staffing is being reduced in Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar and the UAE. Nonessential personnel and families have been ordered out of Saudi Arabia. All that and Trump is still threatening more attacks on Iran.

Eight months into Trump’s war, Americans are facing growing threats beyond the battlefield. US Intelligence is warning that Iranian plans to kill Americans overseas have reached “advanced stages.”

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Trump Unleashes Racist Tirade That should be the headline in every newspaper.

Lula has called for the arrest of two officials in connection with the election sabotage and asked to extend voting hours in places where the vote was suppressed

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

The transportation secretary in Salvador, where a lot of the fuckery is happening, just happens to be in Paris already as his arrest is ordered

Donald Trump promised to defeat inflation, bring down prices, and reignite explosive economic growth in 2024. The reality? Inflation is still rising, costs are too high, and instead of you feeling the “Golden Age,” only the well-connected are.

Interesting what overseas kids Elon sympathizes with and which he throws in the woodchipper.

Interesting signals coming from #Ukraine. I don’t recall Ukraine previously setting demands ahead of potential negotiations. If this is accurate, we may have reached the point in the war where #Russia can no longer come to the negotiating table without making concessions.

Trump says he “doesn’t give a damn” about gas prices being high because the US is “making a fortune” from tariffs (which he still doesn’t understand or won’t admit are paid by American companies. The election should go swimmingly for Republicans!
