Trump is considering mass pardons for his enablers. I have some ideas about how they could be undone. Liz Oyer

Alternet: Dr. Oz lashed out at a reporter after she challenged Trump's effort to shore up rural health care with a new $50 billion fund, despite the much larger Medicaid cuts included in the same law. Dr. Oz to self-quarantine following exposure to being fact checked. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Vivek Ramaswamy and his hair were on Fox & Friends this morning defending his vile attack ad

Folks, if you hate authoritarianism, you should be feeling good this morning. In Serbia, a student-led movement just ousted a longtime strongman, peacefully. And we Americans should be paying attention, because we have a chance in November to send a similar message. (link below)

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

“We made it, friend.” That’s what Harriet Ida Pickens said to Frances Wills on graduation day in 1944. Together, they became the first Black women commissioned as officers in the U.S. Navy. #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

David Jolly: "The problem in this environment is not that I used to be a Republican. It's that Byron Donalds still is one."

You can hear a woman screaming that ICE is taking her husband. This incident took place in Stockton, California on the evening of October 25, 2026 around 9PM Pacific.

I believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Mike Rogers believes in government of the billionaires, by the corporations, and for the special interests.

Insane. Actually insane. Let’s make his money this year a waste, shall we?

"Whatever dark power Trump has that has enabled him to become president twice while being quite literally one of the most morally despicable human beings on Earth, it’s not easily duplicated by your average Republican candidate for Senate, House, or governor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

In case facts still matter

ICE thugs are sending immigrants to countries that they have never been to, because there are orders by judges protecting them from being returned to their home country due to persecution. But these third party countries are sending them back to their home country, anyway. #ICELawlessness

Amy Acton spent 30+ years in medicine and public health. She shares her childhood story to give others hope. Vivek uses it to attack her. She offers survivors a reason to keep going. He offers them another reason to stay silent. Look at their choices. Then tell me who has character.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

Fact-check: true

Yet another entrenched authoritarian defeated yesterday in Serbia. As the United States approaches a critical midterm election, Serbia shows that we can win despite uphill authoritarian conditions. It can be done. It takes all of us, especially young people. Timothy Snyder

Inflation eating up worker pay. Household debt and student loan defaults at a record high. 8 million people have lost healthcare. 5 million people have lost food stamps — including 2 million children. Gas prices skyrocketing. Trump says, "Pretend I'm on the ballot." Please do.

Reuters: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S FIRING OF PROSECUTOR MAURENE COMEY WAS UNLAWFUL, JUDGE RULES

apnews.com/article/cong... “It’s a disaster,” Cammack said. “The entire system on Capitol Hill is really designed to create a chilling effect for victims.” The task force is expected to release recommended changes after the Nov. 3 elections with a goal of taking action before the end of the year.

“You’d much rather have Obama campaigning for you than Trump” 👀🤷🏼 (H/T @atrupar.com )

“The seismic shift came after two years of relentless organizing and sustained protests by the student movement” It’s wonderful to see young people waking up to the fact that they deserve a better future than what the far right is offering! #Sheshed apnews.com/article/serb...

Iran wasn't running out of firepower. It was holding back. Now vessels are being sunk, missile tests are accelerating, and the scale of attacks is expanding dramatically. What we're witnessing should terrify Trump's war planners.

NEW: A federal judge has now ruled that former SDNY prosecutor, Maurene Comey, was UNLAWFULLY fired by the Trump DOJ. He orders her retroactive reinstatement and back pay. Comey alleged in her lawsuit that she was fired for politically motivated reasons. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/26/m...

🚨 NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump DOJ ILLEGALLY fired prosecutor Maurene Comey, ordering retroactive reinstatement and backpay. The judge ripped the DOJ’s defense as bordering on “frivolous” and rejected its sweeping claims of executive power.

Okay now I’m really mad 😡 tell me their not attacking Latino’s?! WTF! ICE in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 #VocesDemocraticas #USDemocracy #Pinks

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it. Art. 13 of the UCMJ says no one being held for trial may be punished, and that pretrial confinement may be no 'more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence'.
