Republicans, they're not like us.

The truest thing JD Vance has said in a long, long time.

Google was really trying to hide its water use figures, to the degree that it got the council to try to keep its water use figures secret. The community finally got the actual numbers and found out Google was using 29 percent of the water in the community. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

let's fucking go

Donald Trump’s closing message for the midterms

Larry Kudlow looks like he's about to cry as Trump rants and raves on the phone like a complete lunatic

Trump wanted to create an Orban style autocracy & take away everyone’s liberties. But Orban knew u need to be popular when u put that into effect. But in just 20 months Trump failed so hard he’s more unpopular than any midterm Prez in 80 yrs. Chump just doesn’t have the cards. 🤣

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration’s campaign to obtain states’ unredacted voter rolls suffered its 27th consecutive district court loss Friday, this time at the hands of a judge appointed by President Donald Trump. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

2) The video is not only being attached to false allegations of election rigging — it's also outdated. www.snopes.com/fact-check/v...

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

The important thing about the growing "Republicans are losing" headlines and polls is that it sets expectations for this to be so, which measurably impacts the regime's ability to sway folks susceptible to their lies about the election.

NEW: A new poll shows 56% of voters believe Trump is pushing to influence state election rules because he wants to "ensure Republicans win elections" at all costs. And despite attempts to peddle baseless claims about elections, most voters don't believe his lies. https://demdock.com/3Wr7KRr

They're throwing spaghetti at the wall. It doesn't mean it's not really dangerous - and whatever they try, we'll be prepared to counter - but folks should be clear that this is not some well-orchestrated highly competent plan unfurling.

The time to pass mandatory industry-wide AI guardrails is now.

More on MS, for those who are surprised. It makes a ton of sense: Colom is a great candidate. Hyde-Smith is a shitty one. No one knows what Black turnout will be like due to Callais. MS has 40% Black voters. www.npr.org/2026/10/22/n...

Still more on MS. edition.cnn.com/2026/10/22/p...

A telling version of this was Dan Sullivan accusing Mary Peltola of getting debate questions beforehand because he doesn't realize that he's an idiot.

Update on the Hispanic voter surge we are seeing across the county, noon TargetEarly update. Here's % increase over 2022 on this day in the share of the electorate so far that's Hispanic: US - 34% (chart below) AZ - 14% CA - 40% FL - 8% GA - 54% NC - 89% NM - 23% TX - 33% VA - 84%

i mean, here is vance defending the ad. and how does he sound? petulant and annoyed. bsky.app/profile/fact...

like vance, ramaswamy is a hateful, resentful orc of a human being, and the reason i think this will hurt him politically — where this stuff didn’t hurt trump — is that ramaswamy, like vance, is also profoundly unlikeable. he has no charm or charisma or anything. just a dipshit.

coding my ai agents to do everything fun and worthwhile in my life so i can spend more time trying to get attention from strangers by posting

It's the stupidity, stupid. Shut up and go away.

No one needs to listen to James Carville about anything. But I'll keep saying this until I'm blue in the face: It's not the lefties who hold Democrats hostage in Congress, IT'S THE MODERATES. Bernie Sanders never killed a Democratic bill he didn't like. You know who did? Joe Manchin. Many times.

Crazy this is not obvious to Wall Street: every democracy saw what Musk did to Ukraine last week and confirmed security need for Starlink alternative. Those alternatives will not just serve defense needs, but also be viable commercial alternatives, crushing any hope of SpaceX's monopoly projections.

A great source of info for years and an outfit that is very worth supporting with your dollars.

I don’t even remember how movies used to show that someone was a douche before you could just have them vape once.

Donald Trump is a traitor.

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Meta's BS excuse about knocking down No Kings for 4 hours (x.com/andymstone/s...) is not going to fly or stave off serious Democratic congressional oversight

Death by malicious negligence is a defining characteristic of concentration camps

If lefties continue to makebelieve what actual Dems are actually doing based off Beutler posts rather than learning what they are doing and magnifying it, they are the ones protecting corruption.

Over the past 5 weeks right-aligned pollsters have released 67 polls into the Senate battlegrounds. Here they are broken out by state and date:

Hard to get more "let them cake" than this. Wars everywhere, the economy going to shit, the health care system is getting battered, energy/interest rates/inflation soaring and this is what Trump is spending his time on.

very odd to me that a lot of these guys think that because they got some numbers right they have therefore unlocked the door to understanding all political outcomes

If you’re wondering what the vibe is going into the midterms the New England fall fair I went to today had a crochet guillotine for sale.

They're not even trying to be slick about it anymore. Billionaires are full on flop-sweating about the ass-whipping they're about to get.

If that seems too big a task, remember that Democrats basically did this to the big bankers of the 1920s -- also long seen as masters of their era, invulnerable from oversight. They reduced them to rubble, setting up the New Deal era. Here's advice Biden ignored from me but I hope others heed:

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

Trump has to go. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

Tech leaders flocking to a platform owned/operated for white supremacy & deepfake child porn is not an incentive to go to that platform, but rather a warning about tech leaders.

Given the news that Meta throttled Lula in Brazil and stories like this one below every Dem state legislature should open an investigation into whether the platforms have attempted to influence elections in their states.

Sometimes, what — or, who — isn’t pictured is just as important as what is. Watch research reporter @amierjeski.bsky.social explain how ProPublica figured out a Russian oligarch bankrolled much of Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding.

Absolute towering masterpiece of a film by the best to ever do it.

who collectively - and beautifully - illustrate the coalition that assembles clumsily, creakily, humanly to fight evil. INVALUABLE watch as we assemble the popular front to vanquish Trump, the GOP & corporate Dems who aren’t up to the task.

Watched Powell & Pressburger’s 49th Parallel last night. From 1941. Essentially some Nazis run around Canada & in an odyssey of sorts & meet ppl from different walks of life (Christian communists, wacky fur trappers, a selfish writer, an Arctic First Nation tribe, customs officers, a draftee)

If Democrats in Montana continue to consolidate behind Bodnar, this could be a real coup. I mean, not a *real* coup, like Republicans do. But like, a joyous overturning of a heretofore foregone outcome.

That sentence made me tingle.
