Huge headlines around the world. In major US corporate media, complete silence. Something fishy here.

In Maryland, just 50 miles from DC, a sheriff has relentlessly targeted local immigrants for over 20 years. He is running for reelection next week in a county that went for Harris over Trump. Make sure to share story: boltsmag.org/frederick-co...

Steve Collins with the most important Maine political column of the year. Big credit to him for covering a dark story the rest of the Maine press is studiously ignoring. Couldn't have been easy for him -- he was boosting Susan Collins as recently as last year. #MEpolitics

NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

Attn: The Trump administration is attempting to violate a judge’s order again. A judge blocked the reorganization of the Forest Service. Now Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the Trump administration is “full-bore ahead” with its sweeping Forest Service reorganization.

Govt succinctly lays down its marker: POTUS can gut any citizen's lawsuit to enforce federal environmental laws, despite Congress's express intent. (From filing to dismiss NAACP's Clean Air Act suit against Musk's gas-turbine-powered Colossus datacenter near Memphis.)

When Jon Husted cast the deciding vote to cut Medicaid for half a million Ohioans, he betrayed families like Sarah and Audrey's.

“Basic Islamophobia… open racism in the Republican Party… a really disgusting performance by Mike Rogers…”

Wow! Make Amy Acton governor. “I am making a promise to Ohioans...that no one in my state will ever, ever be invisible to me."

The state of Illinois has $125M in contracts with Deloitte Consulting LLP. Deloitte is backing a candidate in Ohio who is siding with a pedophile and his defender, punishing a woman for speaking out about sexual abuse. In Illinois, we’re paying them $16M to advise DCFS. cc: @politico.com

What the hell? Per WSJ, Ukrainian drones have been forced to fly more slowly because of new limits on Starshield, the military version of Starlink,put in place at Elon Musk‘s personal direction. Zelensky told Rubio the speed needs to be restored. How in the world are we letting Musk call the shots?

The fact that Amy Acton was removed from her mother’s care and went on to obtain an MD and flourish in public health makes her even more of a hero in my eyes. This type of trauma never really goes away. Yet when there was a fork in the road, she chose the one where she helps others. Hero.

Doctors and hospitals that treat people in immigration detention have gone about a year without being paid. Now ICE plans to keep the company hired to fix that problem for up to four more years, without taking bids from anyone else.

Two thoughts: This false, despicable ad is proof that Vivek Ramaswamy knows he is about to lose to Amy Acton. No mother who loves her daughter would do this. Her complicity reveals her.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Energy Secretary Wright is campaigning with Ken Paxton today in Texas. A reminder that government officials partaking in campaign events should not be normal.

A despicable ad from Vivek Ramaswamy who is a despicable person. Desperate Republicans have run some horrible, dishonest ads to distract from their failures in office, but maybe none worse than this one.

This week I’ve seen men ridicule women for dressing “too provocatively” & other men ridicule Muslim women for dressing “to conservatively.” A reminder that men should shut the hell up, stop worrying about how women dress, & instead expend their energy on getting men to stop raping & abusing women.

Have not independently verified this. #MEpolitics

Abortion—and democracy—are on the ballot. Here's what you need to know

Per Bloomberg, since 2025 began, initial US jobs reports have been revised down in 16 of 20 months, erasing 793,000 jobs. That’s nearly 40,000 jobs a month that were reported, then quietly erased. They just vanished like the donations for the Kennedy Center. unusualwhales.com/news/us-jobs...,

This story

Per SEMAFOR, CBS News(Max) Editor Bari Weiss pushed their outlet to tie @AbdulElSayed to 9/11 and peddle the lie that @jamestalarico was in a mental health facility. www.semafor.com/article/10/1...

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

Trump doesn’t care about the general public. His only concern is walling off public lands into private enclaves and business opportunities for himself and wealthy cronies.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Zacharia? We hardly knew ya. I grieve the lies left untold. My column on the end of a (five-day) era: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

AI shouldn't be able to fire you, fire a weapon, or deny you healthcare.

Lisa Demuth was the chief author of an extreme bill that would have banned abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest, and punished doctors with up to a year in jail. Unlike my opponent, I will protect a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions in Minnesota.

Can we please not nominate another “neutral” attorney general in 2029? Go scorched earth.

"I'm a pro-choice Republican," Minnesota GOP Senate nominee Michele Tafoya claims in a new ad... ...except she's hailed the demise of Roe v. Wade, vowed to confirm conservative judges, routinely backed a 12-week abortion ban and gaslighting anyone, what? www.huffpost.com/entry/michel...

"Central Casting, send over another dummy who looks like my hot daughter."

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Did James Talarico tell his grandmother that he thought he might be gay? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Has James Talarico been in a 15 year mentor-protégé relationship with gay billionaire Peter Thiel? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Did James Talarico pose in drag? Oh, no! That was JD Vance!

Pre-Columbus

Ossoff: "The last time Trump lost the presidency, he tried to seize the presidency and overturn the election. That's why it's so important that we vote in unprecedented numbers. This is up to the people."

We need more men like Dan Levy and fewer men like Shane Gillis. Stop being complacent. Stand up and call this shit out when it happens. www.instagram.com/p/DeYSYNXMcbH/
