"the federal government has made false accusations against states. In July, officials from the Department of Homeland Security publicly told Nevada officials they had found nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the state’s voter rolls, but ultimately, they could not provide evidence of even one."

"Bloomberg reported on October 22 that billionaire Elon Musk, whose companies depend on U.S. government contracts, has poured at least $445 million (not a typo) into the Republican effort to keep control of Congress. Democratic candidates are holding on to a significant percentage of the vote."

"The report offered new information from Beatrice Keul, a former Miss Switzerland, who says Trump used a pageant at the Plaza Hotel in New York City as a “hunting ground” to prey on young victims and that Trump raped her there in 1993, leaving her bleeding and bruised."

"a growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s. The DOJ and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are doing everything they can to keep the American people in the dark about it.”

"Trump’s hotel in D.C., opened ten years ago, and Republicans’ refusal to condemn the flood of money into that enterprise convinced him that there would be no repercussions for grifting off the presidency. Years later he has made more than $1.4 billion off crypto; investors have lost $4.8 billion."

"Rather than painting Acton as a liar, the ad reveals both Ramaswamy and those who supported the ad—including Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and MAGA influencers—as men willing to weaponize the rape of a child if it helps them win power. Donations to Acton surged in the wake of the ad."

"As the political winds fill Democrats’ sails and they are picking up momentum, MAGA is doubling down on what has worked in the past: a false narrative undergirded by cruelty. But that false narrative is now so out of sync with reality that it does not seem to be attracting voters." H. C. Richardson

"we can’t prove that Mark Zuckerberg deliberately tried to deliver Brazil into the hands of a right-wing authoritarian. However, there is no question that Elon Musk intentionally and strongly intervened on the side of Vladimir Putin in his efforts to conquer Ukraine." -Paul Krugman

"Is it a mere coincidence that in the United States, Meta suspended the No Kings Day Instagram account right in the middle of the day’s protests? Again, it’s funny how Meta’s technical problems always seem to tilt the political field in the same direction." -Paul Krugman

Elon Musk has dumped almost $450 million into the midterm elections. Tesla paid 0% in federal income tax last year. We should tax the billionaires.

I don’t think trump has ever told the truth.

FLORIDA VOTER ON FOX: “Everybody on my block is Republican. They told me for the first time they’re voting Blue, straight down.”

"It took a year to convince a disabled 20-year-old that he could walk to Santa Maria High School by himself. On Wednesday, ICE agents tackled him on the way and broke his wrist." A Native American. Where are the real police when ICE is breaking the law?

"former secretary of state Hillary Clinton told Kara Swisher: “I continue to believe that Putin has things on Trump. I continue to believe that he is holding photos, videos, whatever it might be.” Clinton reiterated that Trump “is a willing Putin puppet to help Putin." -Heather Cox Richardson

"... noted in Fortune last June, Musk’s trillion-dollar fortune is not real. Almost all of his net worth is unrealized equity in companies he runs. His wealth is simply the market’s estimate of the worth of his promises to deliver in the future, and those promises depend on government contracts."

"Paul Krugman: 12 million Americans have lost healthcare under Trump, and those who still have it have seen the cost of their premiums rise sharply. The situation will get worse. When they wrote their One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Republicans put the worst of their cuts off until after the midterms."

"Starting this month, more of the costs of SNAP will fall to states.The amount of their payment will be based on their error rates, causing them to err on the side of denying benefits and cut costs, leading more to lose benefits in the future. Some states may have to withdraw from SNAP altogether."

"Economist Justin Wolfers explained: “Washington has discovered a brilliant financial strategy. Cut benefits for people who need them, cut taxes for people who don’t, and borrow the difference from people who aren’t old enough to vote.”

"the Republicans’ 2025 extension of their 2017 tax cuts will reduce government revenues by $4.5 trillion over the next ten years. Their cuts to Medicaid and SNAP reduced spending by $1.1 trillion... a growing deficit that climbs to more than $4 trillion as the cost of servicing the debt grows."

“The question for all Republicans is whether this type of attitude is what we want leading our party going forward. For the last decade, our party has been infected by a corrupted moral center." -New Jersey’s Republican former governor Chris Christie

"I have been a Republican for most of my life. But character matters more than party affiliation. Our democracy depends on leaders who respect our institutions, tell the truth, accept accountability, and unite rather than divide.” -Neil Bush, brother of George W. Bush, voted for James Talarico

"to make this economy work, we need to respect property rights. But we are, first and foremost, a democracy. And in a democracy, the rights of private property don’t and never have included the right to act against the nation’s interest — Capitalism is not an excuse for treason." -Paul Krugman

"Musk will surely be the focus of many investigations if Democrats win the midterms. But don’t expect this to chasten him: His response to the prospect has been to make menacing threats. Which reinforces the point that control of Starlink must, one way or another, be taken away from Elon Musk."

"Proposition 40, known colloquially as the billionaire tax, would impose a one-time 5% levy on the assets of the roughly 250 billionaires who are California residents. It would be the first U.S. wealth tax aimed expressly at billionaires," www.huffpost.com/entry/califo...

"And there will be much more of this to come. Trump can’t and won’t make America great again. But he can betray everything America stands for, and he’s doing it as we speak." -Paul Krugman
