“…I won Minnesota three times, but they didn't give me the Victories…”

Sunny day flooding in San Francisco amid the city’s highest October tide on record.

BREAKING: Another immigrant has died in ICE custody, the 28th death in ICE detention in 2026.

I’m sure this won’t incentivize the absolute worst people in the world to harass their neighbors by calling the fucking gestapo

The NBA has reached deals with Kalshi and Polymarket to make them the league's preferred prediction markets partners. The companies can now use NBA IP on their platforms, while the NBA gets right of approval on markets that they offer. That and more: www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

Lula Goes HARD

“That’s hard to miss…”

“That's the only reason this Race is close, if it is indeed close.”

“Ruthless” is a borderline psychotic way to characterize that Ramaswamy ad

“The truckers are protesting spikes in fuel costs since the start of the war in Iran. The price of gasoline in Italy has risen 27 percent and diesel 32 percent since February, according to government data.”

He’s such a racist piece of shit

I’m sure this has much more to do with the crimes they plan on committing in the next two years than crimes of the past. People will hesitate to follow Trump’s illegal orders if they get the sense they may actually be held accountable.

The Justice Department's last-second letters about noncitizen voting contain people with no history of voting whatsoever, and they're moving so fast they sloppily sent one county the wrong list of names.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

For fuck’s sake

It’s 2002 all over again. There are Judith Miller’s everywhere for those with eyes to see.

BREAKING: The Trump DOJ just sent letters to local election officials across California — every county in the state — demanding they identify potential noncitizens on their voter rolls and set aside their ballots. Local officials would "risk significant federal scrutiny" if they failed to comply.

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

"U.S. air fares rose an average of nearly 23% year-on-year in the seven months through September, far outpacing the 3.6% average ​increase in overall consumer prices, according to Labor Department data."

These feels like it could be a versatile screenshot

It's obviously dumb to apply how-to-win-elections logic to non-candidates who are reacting out of moral outrage. But standing by this position is essential because if Matt acknowledges that his ability to predict what makes candidates successful is wrong, it kneecaps his entire approach.

Q: Your ambassador to Turkey just said that 'absolutely, there could a strike on Iran this weekend.' Have you gone back on holding off until after the midterms? TRUMP: If that's the case, I don't know anything about it
