60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

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”

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

I spent last night writing about Trump's waterfront land grab in DC. Things are crazier than I thought, and MAGA has the National Park Service seriously gaslighting the public over it. 🧵

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

Trump: "We have been pretty happy with Russia that they have not gotten involved in Iran ... Russia and China have not participated or, participated in a much smaller way than they could have." (Both Russia and China have actively helped Iran fight America.)

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

So Marine Corps vets who were poisoned only get compensated by the draft dodger if Republicans win. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Yikes! Look at that Community Note!

An effective way to stop the detention-deportation industrial complex is to disincentivize companies from doing business with the Trump Regime. Hit ‘em where it hurts the most: their profits

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

In his first term Trump blocked congressionally mandated aid to Ukraine in an attempt to coerce them to investigate Biden. Many of the same Republicans who opposed his impeachment for that are now complaining that he’s doing it again - and now people are dying because of it.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

IRS refuses to publish report. Ahead of the midterm elections, the Trump regime is withholding detailed information that illustrates how King Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act hurt millions of Americans. The data from the IRS was originally scheduled to be released in July & updated in September.

NEW: The Missouri Supreme Court blocked Republicans' gerrymander last month. So now the GOP wants to change the system for picking judges to give itself more control over the process. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Loop Road is one of DC‘s best running and cycling tracks. It’s also one of DC‘s best picnic areas. And it also provided access to playgrounds and other public amenities. It’s a bit isolated, but that’s part of its character and charm, and renovating it won’t make it more accessible.

This is a lie. Abdul El-Sayed clearly disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood before delivering a masterclass on the First Amendment and religious freedom - a constitutional rebuke of Tommy’s Christian nationalism. Sen. Ted Cruz is lying.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

It's not "strikingly juvenile" and it's not a "personal broadside." It's hate speech. The Vice President is trying to get people to vote against a Democrat by implying that he's gay and/or a pedophile and/or a fetishist. Take it seriously. It is on a par with every other kind of hate speech.

The racist condescension of a goofy dork like JD Vance expecting "gratitude" from an accomplished, hard-working man born and raised in the US, who was a high school football star, a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, and an epidemiologist--all because Abdul El-Sayed isn't pallidly complected like Vance.

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

As a Milwaukee brewer fan, I am annoyed. I know this is still hypothetical but this is a huge deal to Wisconsin. How many tickets are set aside for bigwigs? Is this determined by MLB or brewers? Maddening that at some point I will see celebs on TV who are not a fan of either team.

My hopes for an all Lake Michigan World Series have been dashed☹️ But I’m hearing noise right now coming over the water from Milwaukee. Do me proud Brewers 🌊🌊

"CFTC staff began to investigate ... then were told to lay off." It's no exaggeration to say that the country is being run by a criminal syndicate.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Ken Paxton skipped 730 workdays as Attorney General, often traveling to luxury resorts. He left a combined two years empty on his calendar.

Absolutely stunning that in the NYT’s latest major story on Elon Musk single-handedly trying to save the GOP there is NOT ONE WORD about how he is the world’s most vocal white supremacist and advocate of ethnic cleansing.

My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

Putin is getting desperate... and so is Trump.

Phillips OBrien: Donald Trump is finally speaking his truth. He, and by extension the government of the United States of America, is Vladimir Putin’s friend and partner. Pure, unadulterated (and unfiltered) Russian messaging, being spoken with conviction by the President of the USA.

trump to a rally crowd in Nebraska: "Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego." The PRESIDENT said this. The crowd cheered. This should not be news-cycled away. 🚨LIVE on my YouTube at 6:30PM ET!

In the last 24 hours, Elon added $5,423,645.66. New totals include: $13,131,789.48 vs @jamestalarico.bsky.social $6,308,848.86 vs @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social $5,117,111.82 vs @abdulelsayed.bsky.social $1,991,872.98 vs @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social $1,176,301.42 vs @troyjackson207.bsky.social

The saturation of sports betting not just in ads between innings, but *during* the actual #MLB #Playoffs broadcasts is really turning me the F off. Sports Betting & Polymarket/Kalshi crap need Tobacco-level advertising regulations.

24 days after the 25th anniversary of 9/11, our president stood before a group of supporters stating that it would be a small price to pay if Iran took out San Diego or Los Angeles.

Democrats just need to go 1-for-2 in toss-up races in order to win control of the State Senate for the first time since The Gerrymander began in 2012. They could certain win both of those races. SD21 is looking like a "Lean D" contest. An 18-15 Democratic majority is in play.

Three elected Alabama public officials, all Republicans, were running a human trafficking ring. They were arrested and booked this weekend. weartv.com/news/local/a...

Exactly. As a friend of mine said, "I don't want AI writing my stuff so I have more time to do the laundry. I want AI to do the laundry so I have more time to write."

Since this summer, ICE has been arresting asylum applicants at airports. Many came legally, then applied for asylum. They have been here for years just stuck in a massive line, working and paying taxes while they wait. No prior admin would have arrested them. Their “overstay” is due to DHS delay.

The Big Ugly Bill adds $3.4 TRILLION to the national debt. Not to fund schools. Not to fix roads. Not to lower your grocery bill. To pad the wallets of people who already own most of the country. Your grandkids get the bill. The donor class gets the breaks.

I said this in a NY Times story last week about the WA millionaire tax, but let’s bring back shame. Even if billionaires don’t know it’s wrong to do shit like this, they should know it’s embarrassing.

"Trump voters voted for $7 diesel and $15 beef. You're smarter than that. Vote Democrat."
