The New York Times just put out this credulous bullshit that claims Iran is getting ready to attack, citing Trump officials. This is clearly a way for Trump to justify more heavy bombing. It’s so fucking irresponsible to position it like this.

🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Hitler, in his bunker as Soviet forces closed in on Berlin, blamed the German people for not being worthy of his greatness

It's going bad when the strategy is to blame the voters in advance. The crowd behind him is hilarious.

Sometimes, you can even smell them panicking.

@marcelias.bsky.social : “Mr. Blanche... we have beaten you and your team in court like a drum. So I hope you don't do what you are threatening or insinuating you might do. But if you do, I will see you in those courtrooms. I will win. And then I will dance on your head for those victories.”

Yesterday we brought the spirit of the beautiful game to life at the Cost of Living Classic, where New Yorkers came together for an afternoon of free soccer and friendly rivalries.

“This is what we always do we go in with our ideals and we ‘change the world’ and then we leave. We always leave. But that ball though, it keeps on bouncin’.” CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR (2007) #TomHanks #MikeNichols

The man who has spent more money on politics in the last 2 years than George Soros has in his entire lifetime never says anything positive about his guy Ken Paxton. But he does serve up a steady diet of this stuff.

Trump says he’s still deciding whether to re-obliterate Iran or make one of his famous deals with the mullahs. If the latter, count on it to actually match the description he tried to stick on the multilateral 2015 nuclear agreement, which he panned as “horrible.” www.cnbc.com/2026/10/26/u...

If you love HOLLYWOOD, if you love HOLLYWOOD history, if you love the dark underbelly of HOLLYWOOD - then you’ll love SUNSET STRIP (2012) A terrific documentary on that very special 1.5 miles of Sunset Blvd. Even better, it’s free on YouTube.

Today, my office held our first-ever creator roundtable on election protection.   We invited creators to discuss voter intimidation, AI disinformation, challenges to voter eligibility, and more.   We want every eligible New Yorker to be able to vote with confidence.

Any wagers on how long it will be before AI-heavy companies’ jaw-dropping voluntary buyouts are replaced with even larger involuntary layoffs without compensation? apnews.com/article/micr...

🚨 THE HOUSE MAP IS BLOWING WIDE OPEN. House Majority PAC is now pouring money into districts Trump won by DOUBLE DIGITS: 🔵 $2.2M against GOP Rep. Brad Finstad in a Trump +12 seat 🔵 $380K against GOP Rep. Victoria Spartz in a Trump +17 seat It’s striking how strongly Democrats are playing offense.

The midterms are going so well for Republicans that Trump is campaigning in Mississippi and Vance is in Montana today.

Clearly, we are working hard on it.

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

@anthropic.com Get the fuck out of our voting records. You need to be sued for every penny you've got. TRAITOR!

Breaking News from News Week: U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman, appointed in 2012 by former President Barack Obama, ruled that Comey’s July 2025 termination violated federal law and granted her retroactive reinstatement and back pay through December 20, 2025.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “The GOP shouldn't be counting on a poll miss to win the Senate (though it's possible!). Democrats have actually been slightly more likely to outperform the polls in close Senate races since 1998. Same in 2018 (Trump's first midterm) and Dems outperformed in all 2022 close races.”

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Melania taking credit for something the Pope did? I’m shocked.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

Conan O’Brien’s take down of HARRISON FORD pointing a lot in his Movies is my favourite thing today.

It is kinda funny that Bill Maher keeps trying to be Trump’s friend while Trump continues to shit all over him on a regular basis.

Donald Trump, who began cozying up to Vladimir Putin in his first term in the White House and has during his second term enhanced his embrace of Russia’s wannabe tsar while frequently siding with him over Ukraine, has an immense amount of gall calling into question the loyalty of Abdul El-Sayed.

Earth averaged about 5 heat storms a year in the 1960s, the largest of which covered 6% of the planet and lasted for 46 days. The average today is 102 heat storms per year, the largest of which affected 85% of Earth’s surface. Just turn up the AC the deniers say. newrepublic.com/article/2170...

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

Yet another reason to vote for Democrats!

Here is the TLDR of the 9th Circuit hearing: DOJ will lose. It will be either 2-1 or 3-0. It will be on jurisdiction and perhaps on the merits. The argument was a debacle for Trump and the DOJ lawyer who argued it. Watch for details. www.youtube.com/live/EsuYPbm...
