“covert surveillance inside houses of worship… “interrogations of churches’ staff… “ICE agents hauled off a nun who was wearing her habit and walking down the sidewalk en route to Sunday Mass… “suing a Catholic diocese in New Mexico to seize 14 acres of their land…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

ms.nowThe Trump administration keeps clashing with faith communitiesLast year the White House said Joe Biden and his administration “abused and targeted Christians.” A year later, the hypocrisy is staggering.

Some of the most meaningful moments on the campaign trail have been spending time up in the Sault with the Bay Mills and Sault tribes. We must protect tribal sovereignty, protect our Great Lakes, and ensure everyone can get a good job and know that our basic rights and dignities are preserved.

Zelensky is the most popular foreign leader in the United States; his 53 percent approval rating is far higher than Trump’s. So insulting Zelensky, as Trump does with distressing regularity, isn’t a smart strategy for reversing the president’s crumbling popularity. wapo.st/4zQY9Si

Trump is right that the war with Iran hasn’t lasted as long, or caused as many U.S. casualties, as previous wars such as Vietnam. But, his Iran conflict has already caused more economic pain than previous conflicts. Those disruptions are further exacerbated by his trade wars. wapo.st/4zQY9Si

If, as expected, Democrats sweep this election,the already growing movement in MAGA to repeal the 19th amendment will get louder. It's tempting to dismiss this as just talk. But while they can't just end women's suffrage, this movement is dangerous. www.salon.com/2026/10/26/m...

salon.comMAGA attacks on women voters are no jokeEven if they can't repeal the 19th Amendment, opponents of women's suffrage are gaining power in the GOP

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

In state election boards & county offices, GOP officials have been closing polling places and making it harder to vote. The bet is that enough people will get tired, give up, and stay home. But this month, a group of college students made it clear that their gamble will backfire. (link in comments)

I know that everyone is focused on Trump's attacks in California and Alaska. My team is fighting in court in both places. But understand the fight for free and fair elections is much broader. Elias Law Group is currently litigating 92 voting and election cases in 42 states plus DC.

These devolved, greedy pricks have set this country back to the 1970s, at least. It's gonna take decades to unfuck everything they've fucked up. And some of it, like the climate crisis, will never be undone.

Trump pushes gutter racism: "The guy in Michigan is pretty bad too -- Mohammed, as I call him ... if you have any question about somebody from that part of the world's name, just call him 'Mohammed,' you'll be right 64% of the time."

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

In case you needed another reason to vote for Congress to check a lawless, rogue president. “The U.S. and Israeli militaries have developed specific plans for renewed strikes against Iran after the American midterm elections,” the New York Times reported. Not a dime more for this war.

All Republicans must be voted out of office now. We cannot abide a moment more a fascist, pro-pedophilia, pro-Kremlin political party that appears to be *explicitly* focused on collapsing the American economy, betraying all our friends, and stealing hundreds of billions from us.
