Good Monday evening. Netanyahu is out!

Oh, man, he's so close to getting it.

No comment

Jon Ossoff’s closing argument went in for the kill.

Republicans, they're not like us.

How racist and desperate do you have to be to look at this and say, “Got ‘em!”?

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

Lula wins, Vucic loses. Good Sunday night people!

“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.” Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

The Article I branch should act to curb lawless behavior and abuses of executive branch authority

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

The report alleges Donald Trump was an “active participant” in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse. trib.al/r158uvt

South Carolina's former governors Jim Hodges, a Democrat, and David Beasley, a Republican, shoot a joint 60-second ad endorsing Annie Andrews for Senate. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARZ5...

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

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Lula wins, Vucic loses. Good Sunday night people!

boy it sure seems like the main threat to democracy everywhere across the globe is right wing media and certain social media companies

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

The MAGA influencers weren't enough to save Putin's favorite candidate in the Serbian elections. Vucic has just conceded.

Historian here I did not know Eleanor Roosevelt but Melania Trump is no Eleanor Roosevelt!

Ohio candidate for governor Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is attempting to reframe his controversial ad featuring Democratic opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother as protestors have started gathering at his events. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/25/r...

Is this the justification/rationale for tech accelerationism??? If the “Antichrist’s arrival is a necessary precursor to the 2d Coming of Christ,” then “[s]hould we even be looking to delay the end of the world? Maybe we shld just accelerate, put the pedal to the floor &… get it all over with…” 1/

NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com

This was like his 3rd glitch during the speech where he just randomly stops mid-sentence and makes a weird noise or, in this case, just opens his mouth and freezes for 3 seconds while saying nothing, then continues. Pretty sad that TV networks refuse to cover this situation.

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

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:

Grok fact-checks its master 👇🏽 👀

Voted. Fuck those guys

Donna Arthur — aka Amy Acton’s estranged mother, and the person whose testimony Vivek Ramaswamy devoutly trusts — has been living with her cats, in a car, in a church parking lot, having declined housing assistance. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...

I like how Vivek is saying attacks on The Ad are politically motivated because yes ofc what else would they be

“Several conservative organizations …— including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment — have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits.”

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

Pete Buttigieg is campaigning with Ossoff and indicting Collins and Trump for their corruption

A GREAT way to punch Nazis is to vote them out of office. GO VOTE!

When the Dems return to power. they must say no to impunity.We need a moral and legalreckoning.

I'm asking my fellow Jews in Michigan to help elect the first Muslim American to the U.S. Senate—a devoted dad, a scholar, a visionary thinker, and a genuinely good dude. Let's be the people we hope others will be. Islamophobia and antisemitism feed the same beast. Let's starve that MFer.

Historian here I did not know Eleanor Roosevelt but Melania Trump is no Eleanor Roosevelt!

DOGE was a coup, DOGE was a coup, DOGE was a coup. I will always weirdly be “ok” with Sean Duffy b/c he was the one Department Head, along with a roided out Scott Bessent, who pushed back at DOGE with a hearty, WTF?

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"
