As always, Trump is right. “Incumbent” is like “dumb.” Unless you’re a stable genius like the president, you’d never know it has a “b.” Obviously the election must be cancelled.

WOOOHOOOO!! Serbia, now Brazil. Next? USA and Israel!

Trump’s crowd in Michigan looks on in bewilderment as he decries the fact that Michael Whatley is doomed in North Carolina

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

what a night

Remember that DOJ wasn't sure they had the voting file at one point.

Tonight Students Saved Democracy in Serbia. 🇷🇸 They won the election. The Student List movement unites youth, academics, and civic voices across Serbia. Grounded in anti-corruption reforms, democratic integrity, transparent governance, this movement brings hope to many. Vučić conceded defeat!

Super surprised that CBS didn’t expose Tina Peters. Did you know there’s a FREE news podcast that answers to no one? @dailybeanspod.com

I’m in California. I have a car.

Are we over?

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.

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

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

In case facts still matter

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…

“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.” Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:

Jon Husted voted against the release of the Epstein files just weeks after receiving a maximum campaign contribution from an Epstein co-conspirator. Ohioans deserve strong leaders in Washington, not pedophile protectors.

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.

Today, 62 former U.S. ambassadors and national security leaders endorsed my campaign for U.S. Senate. Their service spans five decades under Democratic and Republican presidents. Many were confirmed by Senator Collins herself.

🙂 YES, IT'S TRUE: Both of these amazing women are my friends! Allison interviews Gillian on The Daily Beans 🫘 @muellershewrote.com & @gillianbrockell.com

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

What a disgusting pig.

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.

I believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Mike Rogers believes in government of the billionaires, by the corporations, and for the special interests.

BREAKING: The DOJ has charged JAMES COMEY (on information, no grand jury indictment) with violations of the ESPIONAGE ACT going back to 2016. They charged this exactly 10 years after they allege the "crime" occurred: equal to the statute of limitations. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here is the link to the docket: www.courtlistener.com/docket/75021...

I normally include links but so far, I only have access through my PACER account and haven't been able to locate the Courlistener links. I will post it here when I get it, or if someone else has it, please reply with the link below. Thanks! END/

NEW: I'm in the Comey docket now. Comey petitioned the court to unseal this case, which Judge McFadden granted today. That's why we're getting this news now 1/

HUGE, GOOD NEWS: In total reversal from Friday’s stonewalling, perjury-flirting “status report,” ICE now says it has secured a one-way travel document so Ahmed Soliman can return to the US via a commercial flight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Comey did NOT waive his right to a criminal indictment:

I believe that DOJ has 30 days to get a grand jury indictment after charging on information unless Comey waived his right to a grand jury indictment, which I kind of doubt. That 30 days would expire 11/4. Is that correct @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @barbmcquade.bsky.social @rparloff.bsky.social ?

BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.

House Majority PAC, which supports Democratic candidates, argues that the House battlefield is expanding in the final week of the midterms The group says the GOP-authored gerrymandering appears to be backfiring and opening up new opportunities to flip GOP seats

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

Some ground rules that have helped us: - Go outside your bubble, try new social media channels - Don’t underestimate the power of WhatsApp (although less so in the U.S.) - Post on the Instagram grid, not just stories - Watch every Instagram video until the end before sharing - IGNORE THEM
