The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

pundits are basically bored by the idea that these democratic candidates are not meaningfully behind with black voters and so are trying to conjure a controversy into existence
he’s also given multiple speeches on this and has really been trying with outreach both during the primary and now. I think the media just really wants Black voters to abandon Dems. Talarico had more time to show this narrative was completely bunk but it really mirrors that coverage too

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.
If Democrats actually win big because people want a check on Trump corruption I expect every move to do so will be covered in the corporate media as being risky to their 2028 position.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

Susan Collins is falsely claiming she's won tariff exemptions, and media outlets are letting her get away with it. In fact, the admin is swapping some 50% tariffs for other 50% tariffs, as they did when they swapped out road salt. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

This is a great demonstration of the difference between actively malicious (not on display) and just absolutely morally bankrupt (which hoo boy)
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"

As an IT professional - don’t do this. A good phishing testing strategy involves not enraging your users. There’s a lot of better ways to do this that don’t make you seem like a huge dickhole.

in case you’re wondering how the vivek campaign is responding to the uproar (from even some republicans) over this, he’s now not only owned it, he’s done a $4 million ad buy to be sure MORE voters see a woman who stayed married to her daughter’s rapist calling her a liar

This design appears to completely eliminate the much-beloved loop road and public park at Hains Point, and cut down the cherry trees which line the road. The park is a public space used by tens of thousands of Washingtonians and heavily visited by tourists. /photos not my own.

Late to this Bloomberg piece on Marc Andreessen. This is one of the key things. Andreessen is *angry* about how he has been treated, when any objective observer might note he has benefited enormously from the institutions he now purports to detest. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

This is at least the fourth person with diabetes to die in ICE custody just this year. Many more have been hospitalized and/or reported starving themselves so they wouldn’t die after being denied care. Is anyone aware of any litigation specific to immigrants with diabetes?
A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

"There aren't that many trans people" is such a ridiculous defense of the failure to support them. Jewish people make up less than 3 percent of the population and few Democratic leaders would consider a failure to condemn antisemitism to be cost-free.
Unfortunately there are people who care about trans people having rights who are not trans people themselves and I’m sure that the number will suddenly grow exponentially post election when candidates have lost and you’re looking for someone to blame that isn’t the candidates themselves

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

Every book I write, I try to do something a little different to challenge myself, so my brain does not become weak and flabby. Here's how I handled that with the forthcoming Eternity's Tomb!

You think this is about implying that El-Sayed is an immigrant but no, it's about El-Sayed not being white. A person of color could live here for a thousand years (indeed, some have) and still be told to be "grateful."
JD Vance calls El-Sayed "a little weasel who should shut his mouth and show a little gratitude"

Look, two things can be true at once: 1) Women are being disproportionately forced out of the Trump administration for things that men have also done; and 2) Every single individual mentioned in the story deserved to be shitcanned. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/u...
