When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

Why is the modern GOP struggling with a Nazi problem? John Oliver lays out the case in a simple, powerful, hilarious way, connecting the inability of today's Republicans to denounce white supremacy to a long tradition inside the party. WATCH: https://loom.ly/y1gqvds

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

Tomorrow we will be one week out from the most consequential midterm elections in our lifetime.

A week from tomorrow is the beginning of the END of the Orange Atrocity! 🍊 💩 #voteVoteVOTE

The more people feel oppressed, the stronger their desire for freedom and change. So, we organize and engage in peaceful protests, strikes, boycotts, civil disobedience, or impeachment movements just like we do at @goodtroublesquad.bsky.social Please consider being part of our team DMs open

This Andor quote reflects the state of our politics today. People feel their rights and freedoms are threatened with the rampant abuses of power and corruption AND PEOPLE BEING KIDNAPPED OR KILLED IN OUR STREETS. Fear, control and attempts to silence people actually creates more resistance.

Recycling one of my first memes Fore the cause ✊✊✊✊

I had a religious education alongside my secular education up until age 16, so I'm intimately familiar with the idea that what gives a religious leader gravitas is the sense that they have admirable judgment. The day any religious leader I ever looked up to did something like this, we'd be through.

I'm well known for always accepting apologies, but I 100% do *not* accept any apology given by anyone who was involved with this—because I 100% don't accept that they didn't realize they were giving a religious imprimatur to the American who's closer to Satan than any American of my entire lifetime.

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

He's hallucinating in public again None of this ever happened

Trump: "I thought the price of oil was gonna go much, much higher, and I was fully prepared to do it"

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most

Trump: "We'll never be a manufacturing c**t, company -- uh -- country again"

HUGE, GOOD NEWS: In total reversal from Friday’s stonewalling, perjury-flirting “status report,” ICE now says it has secured a one-way travel document so Ahmed Soliman can return to the US via a commercial flight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Comey did NOT waive his right to a criminal indictment:

I believe that DOJ has 30 days to get a grand jury indictment after charging on information unless Comey waived his right to a grand jury indictment, which I kind of doubt. That 30 days would expire 11/4. Is that correct @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @barbmcquade.bsky.social @rparloff.bsky.social ?

Thank God the courts are pushing back! Our firewall. 🚨 A federal appeals court just rejected Trump’s emergency attempt to set aside 20,000 California mail-in ballots.

***Harford County Sheriff's Office

MD PG County PD is piloting license plate reader technology that also collects data from devices in passing vehicles to create "a digital fingerprint for devices that routinely travel together.” Harford County is in the research phase and plans to start using the tech as well.

This should be an open and shut violation of the Fourth Amendment, but the Patriot Act blew that door wide open and we haven’t had a congress with the integrity to shut it since.

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

This is the story. www.nytimes.com/2016/10/06/t...

Charges have been declined in this case twice before -- once by John Durham, once under Bill Barr. Todd Blanche just took his dick out and said, well, then I'll do it. Without a grand jury.

So back on October 5, DOJ charged Jim Comey via information for information about a FISA story that Jim Baker tried to correct. They didn't get an indictment before the statute of limitations expired. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Note: Comey accepted a job in the private sector on Dec. 20, 2025, and her backpay will be calculated from her firing through that date.

Maurene Comey must be REINSTATED to her federal prosecutor job with backpay, a federal judge has ruled. He adds that accepting Trump DOJ's position would "unsettle the very equilibrium established by this Nation’s constitutional system." Doc buff.ly/CDtADgH

Comey responded on Substack open.substack.com/pub/jamescom...

“James Comey charged for a third time by the Trump administration” NBC reports that the case has played out under seal in DC since Oct, 5–and Comey hasn’t been indicted there. buff.ly/BypEFNv

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

NEW: The DOJ argued a legal doctrine that courts should avoid last-minute changes to election rules isn't relevant to its bid to disenfranchise 20k Californians it alleges are noncitizens. Why? Because doing so weeks away from the midterms should be "simple." https://demdock.com/47MUk4P

“20,000 for 2 weeks… we don’t want a handout… farmers are having auctions and quitting quit…” When will @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn stand up for Tennessee farmers?

BREAKING: The DOJ has charged JAMES COMEY (on information, no grand jury indictment) with violations of the ESPIONAGE ACT going back to 2016. They charged this exactly 10 years after they allege the "crime" occurred: equal to the statute of limitations. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Best way to fight back? Vote. Minnesota: You can vote now or cast your ballot by November 3.

Mike Rogers doesn't know what he's for. Oh wait...it's himself.

Trump is on the ballot. Don’t believe me? Take it from them…

‼️ This is important. If you can, don’t wait until the last minute to vote. Check when early voting opens in your state at vote.org/early-voting-calendar and plan accordingly.

Donnie didn't like that one bit.

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George
