A reminder for Corporate Democrats: New research from Yale found that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. It's no surprise why the majority of Americans — including 90% of Democratic voters — support it.

The Lula election may be the most significant of our time. Brazil will be the vanguard against an even more apocalyptic environmental deterioration. Overjoyed that the Amazon remains steadfast.

Every Texas bar has that one guy. He’s loud. He’s obnoxious. He makes all the women feel uncomfortable. He adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Ken Paxton — and I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

Let’s forget about dickering with Cleveland-Cliffs. Just nationalize their Stelco assets now at today’s fair market value, and let the 🇺🇸USA’s steel industry stew in its own juice. We can move on to other markets, including our own. 🍁🤷🏼😠🤷🏼🍁

Seems like this should be bigger news from the USA's media stand point. Go look around their headlines. NOT a fucking word about it! America does not want to heal! Period! #cdnpoli

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

It's time to take our power back! Doug Ford is allowing US tech billionaires to take our water, raise our bills and pollute our air. Join us in calling for a provincial moratorium on AI Data Centres in Ontario now.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

❗️Zelensky says Starlink and Starshield speed restrictions are still in place and interceptor deliveries needed against Russian ballistic missiles remain delayed. “This is a real problem, because the Russians attack us almost every day,” he said. #Ukraine

Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump are responsible. Hint, they both are!

The contribution limit for an individual is $3,500. Elon Musk, a government contractor, is trying to purchase Congress. Billionaires are smothering our elections for their personal gain. Get big money out of politics.

Gov. Bill Lee’s voucher scam, which will divert $1.3B of public dollars to private schools in the next five years, was spared by the GOP’s rigged chancery court process. Public schools receive less state 💰 per student. Under Republicans, TN’s public schools have the worst per capita funding in 🇺🇸

Mark Carney responds to US allegations of election interference by ministers: "The United States initiated these trade actions. We have responded to those to protect Canadian jobs, protect Canadian companies, and to develop our economy."

No one elected Elon Musk to oversee foreign policy. Yet he was able to unilaterally slow down Starlink in Ukraine — because his enormous wealth gave him enormous power. Now he’s using that enormous wealth to buy another election and amass even more power. See the problem here?
