Dana Bash! Tell it

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

A social media video purporting to show a former student accusing Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico of sexual misconduct is the latest example of how Russian groups are generating false information to influence U.S. elections, researchers say. politifact.com/factchecks/2...

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

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...

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

This is the record of the depraved demented wife of a pedophile Vivek Ramaswamy used in his vile attack ad targeting Dr. Amy Acton That ad came on the heels of another Ramaswamy ad that used a registered sex offender!

Larry Tenney@larrytenney.bsky.social

VIVEK RAMASWAMY IS A SLEAZE BALL And Ohioans of all stripes think so! Even Ohio Republicans are condemning Vivek’s ads: One featuring a registered sex offender and another the depraved demented wife of a pedophile. When this election is over, Ohioans need to run Ramaswamys out of Ohio!

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.

Josh Hawley staffer and political operative Tommy: You are supposedly a Christian. Have you disavowed Christian domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh, The Aryan Nation, the KKK, Eric Robert Rudolph, and Dylann Roof, etc., etc., etc.? If not, what are YOUR allegiances?

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

“No, it’s not a failed system- it’s called what built 🇺🇸 and won World War 2.” 🔥 A Fox host panics and scrambles to change the subject as Tennessee’s own @corbintrent.bsky.social explains how *SOciAliST* programs like the TVA, highways etc. have always helped regular folks.
