50501 strongly condemns the transphobic policy positions espoused in Josh Turek’s campaign ad. We’re calling on @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social to stand with the trans community & attack the real threat to the safety of women & girls: the Trump administration’s cover-up of the Epstein trafficking ring.

I know it’s really distasteful and dispiriting and gross to think about, but you won’t understand Trumpist politics or the status of women if you don’t understand that a lot of people aren’t just in denial about the prevalence of rape; they are affirmatively pro-rape.

A liar, a coward, and a traitor walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What'll it be, Speaker Johnson?"

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

“My Catholic Latina opponent wants to impose Sharia Law” is a hilariously desperate closing message. thehill.com/homenews/617...

I agree with this in broad strokes, but the underlying connective tissue here is more of a character problem: this administration is simply bad at authoritarianism. Their policy judgment and execution has been ham-handed and incompetent because *they* are ham-handed and incompetent

OK, but seriously… Take your ballot to an official drop off site, do not trust the USPS to postmark it correctly. Find the official ballot drop off near you and take your ballot there.

Servers at the Cheesecake Factory all over the country are mentally preparing for a night flooded w bad tippers

Here’s another example of abuse. Same as the Dana Bash clip, he attacks her for not giving him time to speak, then gaslights her about what’s in his lawsuit. I bet a lot of women recognize this behavior.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels. In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.

Family members and close friends remembered Megan Lambert, the 25-year-old school teacher and volleyball coach who dedicated her life to working with children.

Yeah like I think people can sometimes be A BIT pearl-clutchy about age-gaps between consenting adults but I don't much see the logic between "NOW that I'm 45 suddenly women ny age aren't impressed with me" and "so I have NO CHOICE but to date ones 25 years my junior who are ALSO my students"

Josh Turek’s rank bigotry is a betrayal of American values. His stance on trans rights is to the right of West Virginia, Alabama & seven other red states’ laws. Dems are +9 on trans issues; there is no moral or political reason to take this stance except to oppress trans people. Turek is a traitor.

What is she talking about?

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Don't give in. Instead, get out the vote. ⬇️ www.inequalitymediacivicaction.org/gotv

I don't agree with this. Even though Elon Musk received over $38,000,000,000 in corporate welfare from the federal government, he should still be allowed to vote. Once. What he should *not* be allowed to do is to interfere with *our* votes.

Mail early, or use an official ballot drop box where available. If mailing close to your deadline, ask for a hand postmark at the post office counter.

"Lord, we pray that you lift up this venal adulterer who constantly bears false witness so we might continue not to pay taxes and hate all the same people he hates in your holy name. Glory!"

Reporting traced the operation to a Wyoming LLC created just last month called “Texas Transgender Student Union.” Who is paying for it and who is behind it remain unknown. This deserves a thorough investigation. Voters deserve to know who is trying to manipulate them.

Someone is impersonating a transgender rights group in Texas as early voting begins. This raises serious concerns about an attempt to interfere with the election through deception.

A strong woman standing up for another strong woman in the face of an amoral man is a wonderful sight.

Lying about everything and calling other human beings "illegals"—It's the Lord's work, y'all!

You know Ashley. She's fighting Stage 4 cancer, and her insurance won't cover critical testing. We're still $900 short of helping her stay on schedule with care! Goal: 36 donations of $25 will do it! Please chip in $18, $25, $36, $50, $72, $100 or more? Click: www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-mom...

A rule announced Friday reverses the Biden administration’s 2024 ban, allowing sport hunters to lure black and brown bears with food. This teaches bears to associate people with food, putting hikers, campers and the bears themselves at risk.

Republicans: "If Democrats win, they will prosecute President Trump for his many, many crimes."

No Kings should sue Meta for throttling their account for 4 hours today during the largest early voting drive in US history. It was not an accident.

Poor Tommy. That was a public execution.

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Breaking: Trump has fired his White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia after just three days on the job.

The blame for having an incompetent press secretary rests solely with Donald Trump, not Katie Zacharia. She can’t help that she’s incompetent, *he* chose to appoint her anyway. Just like he chose to appoint incompetent Pete Hegseth and incompetent RFK Jr.

ADAM JOHNSON: “The raid on @repilhan’s home has thus far received zero of the above media interventions. No editorials, no opinion columns in the Times, Post, or Journal…” theintercept.com/2026/10/15/i...

All these years later.... I'm STILL a member of The Resistance.

statler and waldorf but it’s al-sayed and ossoff heckling republicans

She fought apartheid, defended Nelson Mandela, and helped change how the world prosecutes sexual violence. Today, at 85, Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. What an extraordinary woman. 💜 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

He doesn’t even have a 99% approval rating among people he ate dinner with this evening…

Marry us

“Christian” pastors cheering on public executions when the whole Christian faith is based on the abhorrence of the gruesomeness of a public execution shows how far Christian Nationalism is off the rails.

Wow, good on the "law" for actually following the law. "A law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the situation described the confrontation as an intense showdown."

Every active registered voter in Colorado automatically receives a mail ballot. You do NOT need to request one or confirm anything through America PAC to receive it.

Very VERY glad to see Jon Ossoff leaning all the way the fuck away from the centrists trying to tell dems to "reconcile" or "tone it down" or "find the persuadable republicans." This is the shit, right here. Hammer down and make them have to say on live TV that they love Nazis. The end.

Tax billionaire wealth. I frankly don't care if a billionaire can make a second billion. I'd rather have the average person be able to make their first $100k.

Absolutely repulsive. JFDA…

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.
