Keeps happening! @wyden.senate.gov can you send a nice little letter to our friends over at The Facebook?

We're coasting towards the biggest Black voter turnout in Virginia history; it's already the biggest early vote Black turnout.

Your daily reminder that progressive Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny is an American citizen and MAGA lunatic Nicki Minaj is not.

There is truly nothing you could do to make fun of the NYT covering the Obama Cheesecake Factory quip instead of Trump being accused of rape. It’s completely beyond parody.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

This point from @emilymbender.bsky.social surfaces something that’s been nagging at me: the “stochastic parrot” phrase seems to mostly be used by people trying to say it’s *not* an appropriate term. Why? Why does the term live rent-free in their minds?

corporate media routinely describes Tim Scott as a moderate and celebrates his "relentless optimism"

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Three days after the August primary, election workers in one Washington county went to check for late mail-in ballots. They expected no more than a few dozen. Instead, there were more than 500 — each a vote that wouldn’t count.

Vivek Ramaswamy's wife: Apparently, Vivek does not support women. Apparently, he is pro-child abuse. Apparently, he doesn't respect doctors.

my god

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, all three of these guys are talking about Jews

In Michigan, Musk paid for calls targeting Muslims that painted Democrats as pro-Israel, and also paid for calls targeting Jews that painted Democrats as pro-Hamas.

Here’s something you should know about minks: They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people. They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19. Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

Susan Collins is falsely claiming she's won tariff exemptions, and media outlets are letting her get away with it. In fact, the admin is swapping some 50% tariffs for other 50% tariffs, as they did when they swapped out road salt. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Just crazy reporting by NYT—Kushner and Witkoff making a secret deal with a sanctioned Russian company to control a huge gas project in the US. Good for this guy for getting the heck out and talking to the Times

They bought the company that was distributing the new Musk documentary and pulled it from theaters. Living in a global fascist plutocracy is wild.

Herzog is an artist, but he's also a faker—the most dangerous kind, possibly, because he doesn't know how to use fakery except to make himself seem more holy than other people. (1982)

Who paid for Vivek Ramaswamy's pro-pedophile ad campaign? Here they are

Telling a woman to shut up when she’s asking about the attack ad you’ve backed calling a pedophilia victim a loser is like a turducken pf misogyny

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!

"So the guy called himself a king" *muffled gasps from the panel* "and he sent thousands of soldiers to quarter in my city" *Washington audibly whispers "what the f-"* "and so we, like, formed this system where we'd call up people within a minute or two if they showed up" Paul Revere: hell yes

The American civil religion is getting really fucking weird.

Great story from @texasmonthly.bsky.social on the rise of "neo-mccarthism" at UT www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

This guy was caught on video committing one of the worst road rage incidents I've ever seen, plowing into a group of riders—and then he left the scene. Seriously, fuck the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for framing him as some sort of a victim. You are complicit assholes. www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

The Republican speaker of the Ohio House is calling out JD Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy for their morally depraved closing arguments attacking the Democratic candidate for governor based on the fact that she was raped by her stepfather.

i don't think we can come to a reasonable compromise with this

Today, while protecting Palestinians, Brad Lander & a group of American rabbis & others were taken by the IDF. Releasing Brad isn't enough, the Israeli govt must release them all.   If this is how they treat Americans, imagine how they treat Palestinians. Trump & Rubio's silence fuels this impunity.

He stopped Ukrainian interceptor drones in flight, letting Russian missiles and drones through that were aimed at civilians.

This is an absolute nonsense paragraph from Platformer. 1) Kaplan is a hard-right partisan; he is not representative of the median American. 2) Zuckerberg and Kaplan *routinely* favored one political group -- conservatives, who they often allowed to violate Facebook's established rules.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

The nice thing abt Musk having SpaceX takeover Xitter is when we nationalize SpaceX we'll end up owning Xitter as a side deal. Also a robot that makes Child Sexual Abuse Material out of school photos, for which reason we can shut down Grok on day one.
