Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

Independent journalist @marisakabas.bsky.social shares what she learned about “Tommy” — the heckler featured in Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s viral video — and his ties to the GOP, Republican Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, and prominent Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht.

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...

Brett Meiselas: The American people are not concerned about how good Husted's backside looks, even though Donald Trump wants to bring that up at every rally. They're concerned about high prices. They're concerned about the price of gas. They're concerned about the war.

🚨 WOW! Brett Meiselas absolutely RIPS into Trump: "This is someone impeached for an extortion scheme. And now he's extorting the American people." "He is a PREDATOR. He is now being a predator against the American people."

Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.

🚨🚨🚨 THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT WOMEN‼️

#WhereIsMitch

An opinion columnist for Mitch McConnell’s hometown newspaper has written a pre-obituary outlining the “detestable” senator’s legacy. www.thedailybeast.com/mitch-mcconn...

This is the state of the current Republican leadership in our country:

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

He's hiking the Appalachian trail...

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

ETTD

Making it up as he goes. 77 million Americans voted for this dumbass.

MacFarlane: What do you think your constituents think about this slush fund? McGovern: They think Trump is a corrupt son of a bitch who doesn’t give a shit about them.

There are normal republicans. Moderates not crazies. This is an open letter to any real decent Americans that identify as republicans.

Stop teasing us.

Now do Hunter Biden vs Don Jr

Trump has the most aggressively ignorant Cabinet in American history.

Not all super heroes wear capes.

"The pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs, because the human person is an end, not a means, and the economic order must remain subordinate to human dignity and the common good." —Pope Leo XIV

Read this article. Then, please share it with as many people as you can - we are living in very dark times.

The fact that Thomas Massie lost a Republican primary because he wants pedophiles to face justice tells you everything you need to know about the state of the Republican party.

Hey, Mitch. You could have prevented ALL THIS by voting to convict him and bar him from holding office again. Asshole.

1/ Nobody changes their mind because of an ad or a viral post. They change when someone they trust looks them in the eye. Research proves it. Most of us were never taught how to use that power. But we can. And right now we need to. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Cyndi Lauper has something to say. Listen up!! #USDemocracy

Voting Rights Act is a fed. statute prohibiting racial discrimination & secured the right to vote for racial minorities.  It  is viewed as the most effective piece of federal civil rights legislation ever enacted.  Devastating that this Supreme Court has decimated it

Republicans want you to believe that the 2020 election was stolen, the insurrection was justified & their voter suppression laws are about election security. That's because they know they can't win if we all vote and they've embraced fascism to stay in power. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Sorry HogsBreath, We're Sticking With Mark Kelly, Senator, Astronaut And Navy Pilot.......

I think with everything happening in 🇨🇦 with the CONservatives and the GOP/Republicans in 🇺🇸 I post this often 😝

We let the worst people on Earth become the most powerful people on Earth, at a time when the most powerful people on Earth had ready access to the tools to destroy Earth. Those words will be on humanity's gravestone—should any of a dozen rolling disasters cause global collapse.

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

I’d like to live in a country where a grandma doesn’t have to work as a Door Dash driver to pay for her husband’s cancer treatment

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

That "smart black man" was the classiest president in my lifetime. Erudite, truthful, dignified, analytical, detail-oriented, and well-read, Obama represented the very best of America.

“How lucky is the United States that everytime they look for democracy in other countries they find oil instead”- Spain Deputy Gabriel Rufián

None of this had to happen. Republicans can stop it all right now, but they won’t.

I didn't know that this was included in that voter suppression bill they've tried rebranding ...save act. Call Senators. Call them every damn day to save Democracy!

THE BOSS!!!

Just like the mess President Obama had to sort out.
