Good company have they Who by themselves do walk If they have learned on blessed themes With their own souls to talk. Mrs. Sigourney

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

On who betrayed Ukraine and America, Trump or Musk, or Musk at Trump's order, to quote Churchill we can ascertain later which was the Monkey and which was the Organ Grinder

Thoughts and prayers, asshole

So move over, my friend Larry David: somebody pulled the ashes of Bill Maher's career out of the fireplace and somehow re-burned them anew. His new friend Trump, dinner with whom he keeps boasting about, just had Bill for dessert Sleep with Trump, get fleeced

This could be the best chance to take out Stephen Miller since SPLC reported on his emails.

People in rich countries are unhappy. In the US they're truly miserable. Sentiment fell more in the US since 2019 than any other country. US sentiment at the 0th percentile of pre-COVID history, others generally around 25th percentile. And our economy doing better than most!

Administration has a real data manipulation problem: - DHS exaggerates immigrants who’ve left US - Patel's FBI pads crime stats - IRS hides tax cut data until after midterms - Census excludes immigrants www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Ireland has some responsibility on this. One of the greatest contributions we could be making to collective EU & global democracy & security (far more useful then disastrous attempts to remove the triple lock) would be having the courage to step up to our role as digital regulator in a serious way.

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.

Big Angie Angie.  8 days to go, and Absent Ashley keeps going further into hiding.  Y’all know what to do. Let’s send Moody home.  Vote on or before Nov. 3 for ANGIE NIXON: Angie4Us.com/early

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...

This is wild. Scott Perry seems to be loosing his reelection race. And now he’s up with an ad with a fake affidavit accusing his challenger of walking around naked. x.com/brett1231/st...

Russia is stepping up the number of Africans it recruits to counter a personnel shortage in its military and is targeting some of the continent’s most dysfunctional states for manpower. Read more: bloom.bg/4AeYSxd 📷: AFP/Getty Images

NEW: Brent Taylor is the front-runner for one of Memphis’ congressional districts, recently redrawn from majority Black to majority white. As state senator, he repeatedly used his power to supersede local officials — and the will of the city’s voters. with @mlk50.com

GOLDMAN: “.. we are starting to see clearer signs that the AI impact is spreading beyond the technology sector. .. the share of US firms that have adopted AI in regular business functions now shows a statistically significant negative correlation with employment growth ..”

“My Catholic Latina opponent wants to impose Sharia Law” is a hilariously desperate closing message. thehill.com/homenews/617...

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy

lol Trump wants to take J6th wussdom global www.barrons.com/news/trump-s...

You know it's true🎶 Everything Mike does🎶 He does it for Trump🎶 Hey Mike Rogers, when you see Trump today, show him this!

my main takeaway from the cheesecake factory thing is that I remain extremely sad we never got an obama versus trump general election matchup obama would have broken him in half, rural dipshit whispering powers or no

each pic is donations from one state to the state in the center of each picture. Some Ohioan republicans are donating to the Michigan race basically

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

This is true. Qatar is widely believed to be the biggest financial backer of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Put this under nature of the problem. From an axios piece by Jim Vendehei about the growing multiple risks of cascading crises. You’d say the same about Biden? Not politics? lol

lol

Take this for what it's worth but mainly lol

it's the degenerate racist version of going to see 90 year old Frankie Valli belt out teen tunes from 1960

lol

I’m happy to write this argument and standard op-ed form for any publication in Michigan.

Here's the NYT story about how Trump is inviting Russia into AK to drill for oil. Literally selling out Alaska to Russia. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

In Michigan, Musk paid for calls targeting Muslims that painted Democrats as pro-Israel, and also paid for calls targeting Jews that painted Democrats as pro-Hamas.

"REPURPOSE" They have a prebuilt facility that they have a shit load of money invested in. They want to ship it to the site on barges and set up camp.They want to pawn this off on Alaskans. This sucks for American workers. This should be built by American workers with American steel.

Earlier I meant to share the NYT version of the story about Trump stealing Alaska's natural gas and giving it to Russia. Here's that story, the same story as FT. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

NEW on @zeteo.com — Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his bus tour across Ohio in the closing days of the election. “We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.” From @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social:

Trump wanted to create an Orban style autocracy & take away everyone’s liberties. But Orban knew u need to be popular when u put that into effect. But in just 20 months Trump failed so hard he’s more unpopular than any midterm Prez in 80 yrs. Chump just doesn’t have the cards. 🤣

This really does take it to an entirely different level. The woman has a lot to answer for (morally not legally). But it doesn’t seem like she competent to answer for it. And with this new info it’s clear she’s reading from a prepared script.

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.

👇

Does not seem like she is in a position to provide informed consent. I would guess they got her to sign some kind of release but… It’s just so disgusting on a whole new level. Total scum.

They somehow tracked Acton’s birth mom down, found her living in a car with her cats, in a church parking lot, and took her to a video shoot to make vague accusations about her daughter, who she hadn’t seen in 40+ years, being a liar. Borders on elder abuse.

Obviously we don’t even know who wins the Ohio govs race. But assuming Vivek is defeated I think this newest revelation will turn him into electoral and reputational roadkill, where his entire public rep will be condensed into this single egregious and unanswerable morality tale.

A lot of dictatorships try to make these kind of arrangements when things go south. Important to remember there are other kinds of criminal, civil and reputational accountability pardons can’t touch. And if you’re pardoned you have no 5th amendment rights.

To avoid charges of politicized prosecutions of Trump officials, Dems should also revive the independent counsel act to ensure that officials of any administration are prosecuted not by the DOJ under any President but by an independent prosecutor. www.pilotonline.com/2023/08/24/o...

In regard to sending Trump and company for prosecution at the ICC, Trump issuing pardons is actually what makes them eligible for prosecution under international rules regarding the ICC- something this thread from a month ago highlights. bsky.app/profile/nath...

All of this means any Dem who wavers on the need to expand the Court and replace the lawless MAGA majority are siding with the end of constitutional rights. There is no "reform" short of removing the power of that MAGA majority that restores the rule of law.
