Trump in Mississippi: "I'm here because Cindy is doing great" (He's there because Cindy is not doing great)

Barack Obama is back on the campaign trail, and he isn’t holding back. He hit Trump on the grift, the war, and the clowns he’s put in charge. Trump’s comeback was to lie about the crowd size. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Remember when Ted Cruz and other Republicans swooned over Russian military ads to mock Biden and our “woke” troops? An estimated 1.5 million Russian casualties later, Ukraine is still standing. Turns out cosplay tough isn’t real tough

House Majority PAC, which supports Democratic candidates, argues that the House battlefield is expanding in the final week of the midterms The group says the GOP-authored gerrymandering appears to be backfiring and opening up new opportunities to flip GOP seats

Last week, I met with young leaders from the My Brother's Keeper Alliance at the Obama Presidential Center. They shared more about the work they’re doing at school, their goals for the future, and even gave me an update on their class elections. Take a look!

Congratulations, Lula! @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom and all of California are proud to stand with Brazil and partners around the world who share our commitment to defending democracy, protecting our environment, strengthening workers’ rights, and building an economy that works for working families.

This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years. No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

These numbers are telling. CBS News projects Democrats at 229 House seats to Republicans’ 206. Look at what voters are saying: • 65% say the economy is bad. • 57% say Trump’s policies have hurt them financially. • DON’T MISS THIS: 83% say government corruption is a major factor in their vote.

Backlash to data centers might very well be the biggest issue in the midterms, with nearly 70 percent of Americans opposing them. Is it any wonder why?

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.

Gov. Shapiro delivers a blistering assessment of Trump's Iran war: “He had no idea why he was going in. Never made the case to the American people.” Shapiro points to 21 American families who have lost loved ones, skyrocketing fuel costs, and a $3,100 “CHAOS TAX” hitting Pennsylvania households.

The truest thing JD Vance has said in a long, long time.

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

NEW: I'm in the Comey docket now. Comey petitioned the court to unseal this case, which Judge McFadden granted today. That's why we're getting this news now 1/

Obama wrecked him. bsky.app/profile/atru...

BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.

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.

The 9th Circuit rules 2-1 to dismiss DOJ's effort to force California to remove 20,000 purported noncitizens from the voter rolls based on data CA officials view as faulty. Majority: Bennett (Trump) Sanchez (Biden) Minority: Bumatay (Trump) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

One thing people are missing from the new Jim Comey charges. They came 2 days after Aakash Singh was promoted to PADAG. Comey has been arguing that Trump keeps hiring people for the primary purpose to prosecute him, and this is consistent with that. emptywheel.net/2026/10/26/t...

535 in Congress, 27 hold doctorates. 140 Serbia MPs, 73 hold doctorates. In the 119th Congress, 23 Representatives and 4 Senators hold doctoral degrees (such as a Ph.D., D.Phil., Ed.D., or D.Min.), for a total of 27 members.

ICE thugs are sending immigrants to countries that they have never been to, because there are orders by judges protecting them from being returned to their home country due to persecution. But these third party countries are sending them back to their home country, anyway. #ICELawlessness

Scott Presler is one of the GOP’s most famous election integrity guys. He spends all day reminding his followers to “report any suspicious activity.” The Bulwark did, and an election lawyer said it isn’t a close call. Remember this next time MAGA starts up the voter fraud nonsense. Link in reply.
