it feels truly insane that it’s not

#VivekRamashwamy is Despicable anr that Doesn’t Begin to Cover It www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/o...

I, for one, think it’s great that the online right has decided to make the president‘s expensive and largely illegal renovations to the White House the focal point of the election

Do not grant Trump and his inner circle powers that don't exist. He has no ability to "cancel" the election or declare martial law and make the results go away. It's not a question of "who's going to stop him." It's that there is no mechanism to do it, and any order to do so has no validity.

The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.

In MAGA, parental estrangement is a big issue — and parents are held out as blameless victims. I suspect that's one reason why Vivek Ramaswamy ran an ad celebrating Amy Acton's vile mother. And why MAGA — including Vance and Trump — are backing him. www.salon.com/2026/10/23/r...

You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

BREAKING: MIAMI (AP) - Federal judge orders Trump to sit for a deposition in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC by Dec. 11.

Wow! Amy Acton’s new ad is shocking. She’s talking about the issues Ohioans are concerned about and not trashing her opponent. To be fair, she doesn’t need to. Vivek already trashed himself.

This ad is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Help us make this happen in #Kansas! Here is a list of key races statewide mentioned below and a few more that could flip enough seats from red to blue and break the state supermajority. secure.actblue.com/donate/bluek...

Unearthed video: Vivek Ramaswamy mocks Amy Acton for being raped by her stepfather and abused by her biological mother, saying she "complains about what someone else did to her"

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Hallelujah! Extremely important article just published by Constitutional Law prof at UPenn Marci Hamilton. Opus Dei, Leonard Leo, Catholic Integralism tied to Aquinas. It is all there. Please read and repost. verdict.justia.com/2026/10/21/t...

He was a Long Beach city employee for almost a decade and has no reported criminal record, but none of that mattered to Trump’s ICE agents. In Trump’s America, if you simply look like Ricardo, if you look like me, they’ll arrest you and throw you to the ground.

Great @jamellebouie.net piece. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/o...

treason

That Vivek Ramaswamy ad might end up being the worst own goal we've seen in a major race. Platforming the estranged mother of your opponent to attack her, only for everyone to discover that the mother protected the rapist of her 12-year-old daughter and stayed married to him, is beyond despicable.

MAGA have been drunk on power for years, and they simultaneously cultivate victimhood. They laughed as their families turned away from them. Now the intoxication is wearing off a bit and they realize they may need their family’s help with bills or care, so they’re reaching for the victim card.

Ok. So it is Federal officials. I’m still trying to figure out which ones.

There's a direct line between conservatives who are "just asking questions" and people who don't respect "no" as an answer.

I want everyone to wrap their heads around this. ICE interviewed a random blogger in MN about Omar's immigration status. I really want to see a 1983 civil rights claim against the fed govt here. www.newsnationnow.com/politics/ins... Inside the monthslong federal investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar

if you were wondering whether Alito's book is an embarrassing crock of shit, I can now officially answer your question with a resounding yes ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Family estrangement over MAGA is real. And it should be. We MIGHT be there for them if they ever decide to LEAVE THE CULT. Depending on the amount of damage done. Each person will have to decide. Until then, they’re a danger to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

New Column: This attack on Ilham Omar, and the Somali community in general, is repulsive. newrepublic.com/article/2167... via @newrepublic.com

The department has done institutional damage to itself by targeting a congresswoman just weeks before the midterms.

Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff is leading the rise of the rude Democrat. More should follow his lead. trib.al/aYQpRfk

When people show you who they are, believe them.

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.

BASH: There was a protester during your debate with Susan Collins. She responded by saying 'this must be a Troy Jackson supporter' and you told the senator 'shut up.' Do you regret saying that? JACKSON: No. I'm not going to be talked down to by Sen. Collins. I'm not going to apologize for that, no.

If most dems had spines they could absolutely dog walk everyone disingenuously asking about "boys in girls sports" just like this

Katie Phang makes the case for presuming the Trump regime acts in bad faith in all DoJ matters. Can’t argue with that.. www.facebook.com/share/v/18KD...

@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social posits that Trump’s deal with Putin to buy Russian diesel, alongside actions weakening Ukraine’s defenses, amounts to aiding an enemy. Trump is a traitor who endangers U.S. security and democracy. #Blues open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Oh I'm so glad for a new generation of Democrats. I'm so sick of Democrats who are afraid of their own shadow. Stand up for yourself, don't be afraid of a hard question. Answer truthfully. Answer with integrity. Don't be afraid of what the media is going to say about you. Think on your feet.💪👏

I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.” If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.

This piece is 100% accurate. A political party deserves the consequences of its self-inflicted wounds. They have no one to blame but themselves.

Good luck to everyone if Susie Wiles leaves. As broken as she is, she's the only glue holding the White House together.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

If Russia stops fighting the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting it ceases to exist. Zelenskyy has but one choice: fight. www.nbcnews.com/world/ukrain...

NEW: The order to throttle Starlink (Starshield) came from the White House to the Pentagon. I still think Elon was involved, though. He’s currently a Pentagon employee as well www.reuters.com/world/europe...
