Our favorite quote from last night! Obama really roasted Trump, and it was glorious.

Amy Acton: As a young child, my brother and I experienced a lot of child abuse and neglect. We moved countless times as kids, and even wound up living in a tent in the middle of winter. And now my opponent has chosen to exploit my childhood to save his struggling campaign. But it's not going to work

What’s going on here?

A baby girl was killed in her stroller today by a Russian drone strike in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv Region. Her name was Anhelina. Her mother died as well. ​An absolutely barbaric strike on a park full of families with children. ​6 people have been confirmed killed so far, including other children.

NEW AD: Ken Paxton knows Texas… And Italy India Malta China Taiwan Iceland Greece Albania New Jersey South Africa Disney World The Caribbean Dubai (with fugitives) And London on America’s 250th He’s taken nearly 1,000 trips while serving as Attorney General — costing taxpayers $3.3 million.

We did this by electing a monster. WE did this.

Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall

7 dead in Texas concentration camp.

Damn.

Ossoff: "If you're involved in any of this, next year you'll be raising your right hand and swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God, in front of Congress!"

Wow Sign me up. Going hard in the paint and naming names.

More people showed up to No Kings rallies than today's Trump rally in Kentucky

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Traitors.

The crowd absolutely erupts when Carney says the Pacific Link pipeline will reduce Canada's dependence on the U.S. Mark Carney: "Careful. They might think that's election interference. They're a little touchy down there. We're not. We're getting on with it."

Billion dollar babies bounced.

SUSAN COLLINS: My heart goes out to the family of the man who was shot in Biddeford. My Duran Guerrero TROY JACKSON: Well the man's name was Johan Sebastián Guerrero. That was his name.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

So many things wrong with this "deal," but also: it's not a "massive" amount. If we actually receive 1,800,000 tons of diesel from Russia, that's equivalent to: * 3.3 days of US consumption, or * 10 days of US *exports*. It's a drop in the bucket. We send more than that overseas every two weeks.

Soulless. Quotas.

A GOP schism over the Texas candidate Bo French’s social-media post reveals the limits of the party’s defense of a color-blind meritocracy, @jonathanbchait.bsky.social argues.

A new poll suggests Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is in a reelection battle that’s too close to call. https://mrf.lu/20fP5

I never ever thought I would see such a dangerous unhinged psychopath running the US military. We’ve had some bad ones, but never like this.

Trump: Sleepy Joe Biden, have you heard of him? *a few moments later* Trump: 😴😴😴

Good times for Ken Paxton and Roger Marshall

NEW: Food banks across America are being overwhelmed by surging demand. Scott MacFarlane went inside to see the crisis firsthand. Here’s what he found:

Baseball is best.

Sons of father shot by ICE: We still haven’t gotten straight answers from DHS about what happened. What are the names of the ICE agents who killed our dad, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo? Why do they get to be protected behind anonymity?

Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’ It’s our duty to know.

His response to everything. More tariffs. More war. Per WH news sources: The US is preparing a large-scale military operation against Yemen's Houthis in retaliation for their strikes on Saudi Arabia....

Murder. Not a word from Congress.

Testimony revealed ICE agents randomly ran license plates of cars in Walmart & McDonald's lots in Medford this summer, looking to detain people. Judge says he’s ‘deeply concerned’ about inaccuracies in ICE reports & post-arrest justifications for stops. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/0...

MARGE: “The war in Iran has got to stop. This should not be this high. This is Trump’s fault. Ridiculous.” ⛽️ 🤷🏼

Mitch McConnell nearly voted “no” with Democrats until Republicans stepped in and reminded him which way they wanted him to vote.

We lost the war.

Mike DODGERS is too cowardly to show up to debate me.

Trump is burning our house down. And he, Kushner, & the rest are walking away with billions while they burn our house down. You don’t sit down with them. You defeat them. You put the fire out. You put them in jail. Hakeem doesn’t get it. He wasn’t built for this moment. He should not be Speaker.👇

I mean if Trump can do it why not them.

“They treated us like we were criminals” 😕

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) told a federal judge Friday it’s appealing a scorching court order against President Donald Trump’s attempt to sue himself to create an almost $2 billion fund for his political allies. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
