After the recent Trump rallies, it's a novelty to see a president able to fill a venue again.

Trump's waiver of energy sanctions on Russia has an even darker, more corrupt, side that initially thought. Trump is planning to allow a Russian energy giant to control a big chunk of energy exports from Alaska. Trump and his cronies profit; America loses. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Attn Seattle voters: Two mail bins containing undelivered ballots were found in a dumpster at Golden Gardens Park, according to King County Elections. All ballots have been reissued to the affected voters, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service is investigating.

🎶 Bought me a Senator over in Texas 🎶got me a judge down in New Orleans... 🎶Can't say the old man didn't warn me 🎶When he's bringin' me judgment day... 🎶Then one little thing I forgot to remember 🎶There's a matter of some hell to pay Gonna be Hell to Pay, Elon Musk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG_p...

In his defense of Ramaswamy’s vile ad, Trump called Amy Acton a “defective” candidate. As a former rape crisis counselor who has worked with countless survivors of childhood sexual assault, I want to speak a bit about how profoundly damaging that is. 🧵

Amy Acton isn’t defective. Survivors aren’t defective. Survivors are beautiful whole complex people who hold so much inside them. And none of that is defective. Sending love to every survivor who is hurting because of this whole awful incident and this whole awful presidency. I see you.

The Budapest Memorandum was signed in 1994 giving security assurances to Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and borders in exchange for surrendering 1,900 nuclear warheads to Russia for dismantling. The U.S. pledged to seek United Nations action if Ukraine became the victim of aggression.

In Nevada, they claimed 16,000 noncitizens were registered. Then they produced just 185 names. Nevada checked every single one. All 185 were U.S. citizens. Even the DOJ admits its accusations are only based on people who are only “likely” or “potentially” noncitizens.

Went to bed thinking about that Amy Acton ad and ultimately unsurprising it is. This is not the endgame of the GOP’s casual degradation of women, it’s a stop along the way. Yet I’m glad we retain the ability to be shocked and disgusted by it. That’s the only foothold for change.

My fellow New Mexicans and I would like POTUS to go fuck himself. He's just trying to deflect off Zorro Ranch.

Bet you'll watch this more than once...

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

Dude thought he had a flawless gotcha and he ran into a rhetorical woodchipper

One last thing about X tonight: noting X has 10x the number of regular users than Bluesky means jack shit when a) a shitload are bots, b) the algorithm boosts right-wing content over everything else so actual engagement there sucks, c) 10 million active accounts is more than enough to hang out with.

Egads! I just got a text from a neighbor that someone is posting that they took “poll manager”training and were told this was true. Tip off is that there is no such term “poll manager” in NM. Just someone trying to scare voters & cause a problem. We have to debunk the misinformation being spread!

I shed no tear for Kimberly Guilfoyle, Katie Zacharia, or Kristi Noem et al. I just want to point out that the women get no grace or support when they mess up. Kegsbreath, Kash Patel, and Worm Head still have their jobs, and their incompetence is far more dangerous and costly.

There is a BAD FLU going around, and these candidates are out there in crowds now everyday exposing themselves, FFS. It's not even remotely unlikely that Talarico caught it - and then behaved entirely responsibly about it. Geezuz.

Air pollution from gas-powered AI data centers is expected to add at least $20 billion in health care costs per year. This finding is part of a report, The Hidden Health Costs of AI Data Centers, from a group representing 800 former EPA employees. Get the report: safernotsicker.org/take-action/...

Since the '80s, I've seen school shootings increase and grow more horrific, with Republicans pooh-poohing each occasion with "thoughts and prayers." I hate them for this. I hate everyone who's furthered this. We've been sacrificing our children to the gun-Tophet for decades.

And deport his ass back to South Africa.

And this is the guy Trump wanted for attorney general (Gaetz)

Nailed it.

I love him

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

In chilly, windy, rainy Arizona this morning. Will explore Hoover Dam - there’s a free museum. I plan to hit some shops in Vegas, Christopher Columbus style!
