Gratified to see widely respected journalist Margaret Sullivan endorse my view that major media must depict Trump’s abuse of power as a “five-alarm fire” – because it is.

This took three people? Truly embarrassing shit.

caring about other countries politics is good actually: fascism is an international threat, the response must be too

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

read a story today about dem senator supposedly in consultation with the trump-appointed intel agency heads about what to do if trump disputes the election results and i ask again: why are senate democrats so brain dead?

Damn good question.

Nothing funnier than DC republicans, the fucking elite of the elite, pretending to take umbrage on behalf of Joe Sixpack in flyover country

Well… this seems like our future

i think "vote dem across the board, but for the 4 very worst dems on trans rights you can leave them blank" is a reasonable position (& a reasonable compromise between vbnmw & fears about dems going full uk labour)

yup.

Yep. This is how I read it as well:

Today is a good day for lovers of democracy and haters of fascist assholes.

As a GOP legislator in North Carolina, Sarah Stevens helped her party adopt gerrymanders and strict voter ID rules. Now she’s running to unseat Democratic Justice Anita Earls, who voted to strike down those laws.

How Republicans find a new, fun hoax every election year www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

hm. lula succeeded by out-shouting the right and not begging for the press to do the lift for him and his supporters? wow, wonder who has been saying something like that in america for almost 20 years?

it's looking like the first decade of the trump-era will end with a string of victories & partial victories for our side: orban out, wins in brazil & serbia, republicans will do badly in the midterms, netanyahu will be weakened & *may* be removed, the uk got rid of an uber appeasement focused pm

Dump META. Seriously, what are you waiting for.

Trump lose Brazil.

Can you imagine...oh nevermind

And don’t even get me started on Pelosi and the “strong Republican Party” bullshit or Obama/Biden and their “Republicans will have an epiphany” delusional talk.

Wether it’s Vivek attacking a sexual assault victim or Acton being assaulted as a 12yo, both sides are at fault. Thank you for having the courage to say this Joe Manchin

lol

You mean “A Democratic Congress could make life more affordable, but not if Trump vetoes everything”. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

and to all of creation.

Matthew Yglesias continues to say that talking about ICE and excessive force in immigration enforcement helps Republicans. He is obviously wrong about this and refuses to acknowledge the data. Way past time for everyone to update their priors on this.

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!

NEW: Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Department of Justice is looking into launching more California-style lawsuits to block “a number of states” from counting ballots for the midterm election. Under the Constitution, states — not the president — run elections, including counting ballots.

attracting media attention with "stunts" was literally the entire core of the civil rights movement. visuals of cops and other officials harassing, beating, killing organizers was pivotal. the civil rights movement would have gone wild for selfies and tweets.

The State Board of Elections’ last-minute changes to voting by mail are leading to thousands more absentee ballots being rejected this election - at a rejection rate twice as high as in 2022. It’s infuriating. North Carolinians, please make a plan to vote this year, in person if possible.

🧵🧵🧵 If you think Putin is a “humanitarian,” vote for Republicans. If you don’t, DON’T.

lmao what a loser

when you clearly say what we're up against, what the stakes of our elections are, both the anti-lib left & reactionary centre suddenly become these messaging consultants that's not the way to make your point, that's not "useful discourse"

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

The IDF just detained the man who’s about to be elected US Congressman for NY’s 10th district, per his social media.

the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!

“Raises questions”?? In this Kavanaugh Stop, ICE agents swerve to hit a US citizen, knock him off his bike breaking his arm, tase him, cuff him as he screams in pain, blame him, lie about everything, threaten to charge him for damage to their SUV. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

I want to hear less about the polls and more about the consequences. The media should be focused on what the next 2 years will look like if Trump continues to be unchecked by Congress.

James Carville, Please Go Away, a column by me: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

One good thing has come out of the rise of MAGA fascism: complete moral clarity. It's obvious what's the right thing to do, and it's to vote against all Republicans.

Stephen Miller is using the Nazi playbook in a campaign of ethnic cleansing. If there is any justice left in the world, there will be punishment for those who allow this monster to pollute the White House. Which means: the entire Republican Party.
