"I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious -- which is, who are we, as a country? And what values do we stand for?"

NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

8 days, y’all. Y’all know rent is too damn high. Tuition keeps going up. That’s why y’all need to come out and vote for me on or before November 3rd. Rattlers, let’s finish this. Find your early voting site at Angie4Us.com/early #AngieForFlorida #FAMU

Americans will cast ballots based on issues like affordability. But what's at stake is far, far more -- it's the pillars of the model that led the US to become the world's most powerful country. As Bono told me, "everything we love is on the line." A gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/o...

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

The GOP campaign ads in Florida are filled with disgusting slander and lies. @davidjolly.bsky.social is clearly the better candidate -- and Floridians should worry about what will happen to their state if Donalds is elected. But first they'll have to cut through the noise to hear the truth.

Zach Lahn, the Republican nominee for governor of Iowa, has pitched himself as a self-made businessman in his campaign. But there is a more complicated tale of Lahn’s rise that is interwoven with the Koch family, one of America’s richest and most influential political dynasties.

Political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security wanted CISA, an agency that protects election systems, to acquire and hack a voting machine, which shocked staffers. “This goes against everything CISA represents,” a former official said.

Three days after the August primary, election workers in one Washington county went to check for late mail-in ballots. They expected no more than a few dozen. Instead, there were more than 500 — each a vote that wouldn’t count.

Now that’s a headline

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam opened up a Cheesecake Factory" Obama just spoke to an ELECTRIC audience in Ohio, skewering Trump & Hegseth and making the case that while we may be stuck with the same POTUS until 2029, we are not stuck with a spineless do-nothing Congress Highlights:

If these threats are seen through, an administration that has proven to be hell-bent on reopening California to dangerous offshore drilling and other environmental hazards would get the sole jurisdiction over our golden coast.

This is a five-alarm warning to every job and industry that relies on our sandy beaches and beautiful bluffs for its livelihood. Soon, you too could see your environment for sale to Big Oil, Elon Musk, and any other high bidder that buys its way into the White House ballroom.

More than 200 complaints regarding sexual violence at schools have been filed with the Education Department since the start of Trump’s second term. The department has investigated only 29 of these, finding fault with a school district only once.

If we had thought for one second that our dystopian metal death machines would be used for evil we never would’ve made them and then released videos showing how terrifying they are

Give this a listen. It’s becoming par for the course. And Democratic candidates - especially female candidates - now get it from both sides of the political spectrum.

Trump: "Why wouldn't you listen to a mother that says that?" Monica Alba: "She stayed with a stepfather who was charged with raping his stepdaughter in 1978, sir." Trump: "You just keep talking." Alba: "I am answering you, sir." Trump: "I don't know anything about stepfathers."

Trump has made more stock trades in his second term than all 535 members of Congress combined.

"Mahoning County Court records we obtained show that Cledith Arthur was arrested & charged with sexually abusing Acton, then 12 years old" Local news like News5 in Cleveland is doing a helluva job revealing the facts behind this vile Ramaswamy campaign ad. www.news5cleveland.com/news/politic...

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

Once again, children: When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Mike Collins is unfit to serve. The people of Georgia deserve better. #VoteBlue #Re-electJonOssoff

What will make this even more delicious is if Jared Kushner's felonious father-in-law is only finding out about this from reporting. Trump has just sicced DOJ on Corey Lawandosky, probably for not wetting Donald's beak with Corey's own shakedown schemes.

@kaitlancollins.bsky.social confirms Trump was told Acton was sexually abused by her stepfather. He knew authorities removed her from the home. After being indicted, the stepfather fled & the mother stayed married to him. His depravity is no surprise. But every GOP rep should have to answer for it.

Retired cop Victor Romero was angry at being cut off. So he drove alongside Koran Irvine, pulled out his gun and fired into Irvine's car, killing him -- and causing an accident that endangered every other driver on the GW Bridge. That's not manslaughter. That's murder.

California voters: Don’t fall for billionaires’ tricks. Vote YES on Prop 40. Vote NO on Props 41 and 42. Let me explain.

This is what that grotesque MAGA crowd is laughing it up about: “Mahoning County Court records we obtained show that Cledith Arthur was arrested and charged with sexually abusing Acton, then 12 years old. The abuse went from ages 10-12”

Carte blanche for Trump

Hey @schumer.senate.gov how do you feel about your beloved AIPAC now?

This is the most corrupt President in history. Trump is trying to extort voters—saying he won’t help veterans if this state doesn’t vote his way. We’ve already seen him illegally withhold funds from “blue” states. We can send this crook a message with our votes and our voice.

In the early days of Trump's war on Iran, Hegseth evacuated troops but left their spouses & kids in harm's way. When asked about it, JD Vance said he knew nothing about it. Even though many of those spouses are now living in limbo in Germany -- at their own expense. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8orX...

Excerpt from today's column on Vivek Ramaswamy's sickening ad against Amy Acton. Please read the whole thing. It's a GOP trend of wretchedness: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

TRUMP: We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages. TRUMP LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER: If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn't be coming out right now.

About 90 volunteers, including rabbis, went to help Palestinian farmers harvest olives on land the farmers hadn’t been able to reach for three years. After two hours, Israeli troops arrived. One of the people they detained is running for Congress in New York.

This guy gets more deplorable by the day.

"I was doing my job," writes Andrew Feinberg, White House reporter for the Independent. Thta enraged Trump, and led his press shop to sling a revolting insult. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

If only some of these "the leopard is eating my face" people had tried to fight back from the start...

“.. the document .. cements the power of a small group of people handpicked by the Trump administration to govern and profit from the deal. The role of the Venezuelan government and the potential benefits to its people are largely absent ..” @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/trum...

So we are "fighting fraud" by establishing a NEW slush fund where Trump personally decides payouts? What a grift. Trump is serious about fraud—serious about committing it!

While your costs continue to rise, the President and everyone around him are getting rich — selling pardons, selling contracts, pilfering your taxpayer dollars. It is a veritable den of thieves. The GOP could not care less. But an accounting is coming.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

@amyactonoh.bsky.social was raped by her stepfather as a child. Her mother refused to protect her so Amy & her brother were removed from the home. They've been estranged from her since 1978. Vivek's latest ad features Amy's mother calling her a liar. Just another reminder of how vile the GOP is.
