Putin is meddling in the midterms to help Trump by once again mounting a covert disinformation operation that’s spreading phony sex abuse allegations about a Democrat. Ought to be big news.

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...

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.

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.

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.
