“We’re making a fricking fortune,” Trump said. Who’s the we? “We” is he…the Trump family…billionaire cronies profiting off of the corruption and crime…oil execs who gave him millions. This is the “we” who Trump cares about—always has, always will. www.americaamerica.news/p/showing-tr...

Potential election interference in Brazil www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...
Brazilians are voting on Sunday to elect a new president in a fiercely fought election that is the biggest test yet for an ascendant right-wing movement winning presidencies across Latin America. Follow live updates.

That's just not how it works. And AG Blanche knows it. He's not holding the line against Trump's attempt to subvert the election outcomes. He's facilitating it. The federal government remains the greatest threat to free and fair elections in November.
Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

But the ones that always get called violent are the ones that are, you know....violent. Saying that some people apply it to all protests doesn't mean that all protests are non-violent.
Every protest gets called violent no matter the degree or not that it was because the literally degrades whatever legitimate complaint that existed into nothing

Trump changed the policies on donations to Trump accounts to allow stock donations, which beneficiaries have to hold for 5 years. Shortly after, Elon Musk promised to donate SpaceX shares to all children. Why? donmoynihan.substack.com/p/automating...

So as I headed to Ingram for the first time in March, I wanted to know who the local faces of the national immigration crackdown were. Who was driving the black Dodge Charger? www.propublica.org/article/depo...

Without a doubt. I've been trying to come up with bumper-sticker-length things to convince people that midterms are important, like this one. Of course, I get all kinds of responses about how it's over simplified. Well, yeah - that's the point, because a lot of non-voters just don't get it.

This is charged on information, meaning a grand jury hasn’t indicted yet. These two agents have squeaky clean records. This case will go nowhere, but winning isn’t the point. www.npr.org/2026/10/23/g...

There are a lot of sick parts of our immigration system right now. One example is how *toddlers* are being forced to face immigration judges with absolutely no legal representation. It’s cruel and inhumane.

I think today’s a good day to drop the ACLU Defending Our Vote website. Filled with tons of good information as to how to join a task force for Defending Our Vote, to knowing your rights, to what to do when intimidated, and making sure you have a plan. #Pinks 🔥👇👇👇👇👇👇👇🔥 www.aclu.org/campaigns-in...
