Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

The president is demanding that Republican Senate candidates stand next to him at rallies where he talks about asses (mostly one man’s) and brags about making gas prices higher. If his candidates lose, it’s because the elections were rigged.

Trump on DC: "Nobody wanted to eat out. They were afraid. Even if you were in the restaurant, people would walk in and like the Wild West, 'Hold it up!' Everybody is standing there. Can you imagine? A fancy restaurant. They were robbing the whole restaurant. It's crazy."

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.

Donna Arthur — aka Amy Acton’s estranged mother, and the person whose testimony Vivek Ramaswamy devoutly trusts — has been living with her cats, in a car, in a church parking lot, having declined housing assistance. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...

Just deeply embarrassing. The US Ambassador continues to insist that Canada is interfering in elections by saying things like "tariffs are bad" even after the State Dept met with Alberta separatists. @splawinski.bsky.social ca.usembassy.gov/fact-sheet-m...

New from @splawinski.bsky.social at Can We Still Govern?: Albertans vote today to decide their future with Canada. American right-wingers have been joining Russia in promoting Albertan separatists, while accusing the Canadians of US election interference. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/republican...

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.

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.

That $366 million Elon is spending to try and convince voters that Congress should stay Republican? It's more money than McCain's 2008 campaign spent. But it's also, relative to Musk's net worth, the same as a household at the median income spending $32.

Today Russia celebrated the lifting of sanctions on diesel exports by dropping five glide bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. At least 15 people are killed, among them 3 children. The number may rise as rescuers check the rubble‼️

Question reporters should be asking every Republican elected: Your president trusts Putin, praises Putin, is beholden to Putin, and wants to help Putin annex more of Ukraine. What are you going to do about it?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

“America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine…Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine.” — Mike Pence I briefed him as Vice President. He’s right. Lifting sanctions doesn’t buy peace. It funds the war. Slava Ukraini.

Troy Jackson: "The gentleman's name was Johan Sebastian Guerrero. He had a 3 year old daughter. The only mistake he made that morning was going to work. Because Sen. Collins is not willing to stand up to Donald Trump, he was murdered in the streets of Biddeford for doing nothing wrong."

Democratic candidates up and down the ballot take note: when your central thesis is "i have scraped dogshit off my shoe that has more moral fiber and respect than my opponent" you can land some real body blows on the other guy across a VARIETY of topics

Ossoff: "Tonight, a united Georgia will hear the trial the Mike Collins. Mike Collins has brought dishonor to our state through his personal bigotry and his widely documented ties to white nationalists. And he's sold out Georgia in his pathetic child-like devotion to Donald Trump."

I know this isn’t useful but it’s weird how “the president should be coherent” was a Very Important Thing just a few years ago and then suddenly wasn’t.

Trump: "I take an aspirin a day. I don't know if it works but psychologically I need it. It thins the hell out of your blood I guess ... They want me to go down to the 80. I take the 386. I don't know what the hell it is. It's a monster. They said, 'Sir, you don't need that!'"

How do you advance a minority religious belief after perjuring yourself before God and country? Courage. If Dems win Senate, Aileen Cannon, or someone equally unqualified, will be a Supreme Court justice before Christmas.

Trump has now refunded $128 billion dollars from his tariffs to corporations. Tariffs he created, made Americans pay for, and then returned right back to his donors. We paid, and his friends cashed in.

House GOP leaders cancel votes on Thursday - sending lawmakers home later today until after the elections. That means the House can avoid a vote on the Hegseth impeachment plan from Rep. Thomas Massie R-KY.

What's going on is that they are all terminally-online weirdos speaking to other terminally-online weirdos in a language only understood by terminally-online weirdos. It's like we made the most obscure dysfunctional reddit thread into a presidential administration.

I think people catching measles then dying is bad, and that the govt should see zero measles deaths as the goal—like America had until recently—rather than see measles as a positive, culling the population of people with other health conditions. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

There’s lots of empty land in and near Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster, and for that matter at the very spacious estates of the tech oligarchs and the nice campuses of the tech companies. Those seem like easy places to put data centers.
