This release of Meta documents is a deeply shocking look at how tech tries to steer & control science. It's normal for crisis comms teams to ask how to counter scientists who criticize their employers. But here's what's especially shocking in these docs: cailinoconnor.substack.com/p/its-now-of...

RNC Chair: The reason Trump has a low approval rating is because the mainstream media spends 99% of its time saying what a bad guy he is. Reporter, laughing: You think that's why he has a low approval rating?

This is scary! vote.org

Washington Secretary of State on the Trump administration's demands that they set aside over 400 ballots: "The timing of this request — one week before the General Election — is no doubt intended to cast unfounded suspicion on the results."

The Alexander brothers have paid Trump ally Alan Dershowitz up to $1 million to try and obtain pardons for sex trafficking convictions.

New Epstein report from the House Judiciary Committee and a reminder that Blanche and Trump are still withholding a TON of information that is almost certainly damning on them, and definitely not exculpatory. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

The Justice Department is drawing up contingency plans to potentially intervene in next week’s midterm elections, three national security officials tell me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-prep-...

Is this a joke? Or … ? We live inside The Onion now. It’s fine. This is fine.

No wonder he doesn't "give a damn" if you're paying more at the pump. HE is making a fortune.

petty bullshit that’s wasting a TREMENDOUS amount of resources

Just need it a *little* louder until NC ends up at D+8 with D majorities in both chambers

Obama lives rent free in Trump’s head. Always has. Always will. Besides this being the ‘gayest midterms’ ever (according to Jesse), Trump saying ‘I don’t give a damn. We’re making a fortune’ when stock trading more in 1 day than Pelosi did in 12 years, is what voters are hearing from the President.

Feds prep for election "doomsday" scenario, three national security officials tell me:

The Department of Justice (DOJ) claims a legal doctrine that courts should avoid last-minute changes to election rules to avoid confusion isn’t relevant to its effort to bar California from counting the votes of 20,000 people on a list of alleged noncitizens. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It’s been a wild 24 hours for me on BlueSky and I’m getting so many messages asking what can be learned from Brazil and applied globally on top of the below. Once again, I’m not a political expert but this is what I’ve seen as a consensus amongst specialists and voters so far 🧵

Timeline cleanse...

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.

In speeches, Obama hit Trump on gas prices and a war nobody asked for. Hours later, Trump bragged at a rally that the country is making a fortune on oil and he doesn’t give a damn what people pay at the pump. Interesting strategy. My write-up in the link in the comments.

Ya know what's funny... none of the people who pretend to give a shit about women's sports care about women's sports. If they did, they'd be outraged by *THIS* shit. Airing a finals game in this time slot is overtly, maliciously disrespectful to WNBA athletes. Where's Riley Gaines now?!?

This might be the angriest I have ever been about anything in my life.

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

"Both top-shelf reporting and top officials in the Trump administration, including Trump himself, have said that Musk made this decision on his own. That would be treason. The traditional way to figure out the truth of such a matter is with a trial." prospect.org/2026/10/26/d...

OTD in 1921, President Warren G. Harding spoke in Birmingham, Ala., and surprised many by pointedly condemning lynching of Black Americans. Here's a piece I wrote several years ago that mentions Harding's speech that day and explores the history of anti-lynching legislation in the United States.
