Well, given that we already knew that he took money from Harlan Crow, this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone... www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...

Would this, 2024, be congruent or contrary? Or the actual run up to the fraud, deploying fake-fraud-creating canvassers? www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

And of course, here is the story. These documents posted via these threads are a companion of sorts to the story. They also show the kind of work that goes on behind our reporting. You don't just go out to the field. You dig. For months Turn every page, Caro said. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

Gov. Beshear: I am living, breathing proof that Democrats can win anywhere, and we should be fighting everywhere. We have 3 southern Democratic governors and we're going to have a 4th when we elect Keisha Lance-Bottoms. This election is absolutely critical.

This has been devastating for this small town in Texas, and the other towns in the area watching this happen.

SHOW ME THE DOCUMENTS>>>>> We did something sort of crazy at The NYT this year, as we look for ways to dig into what has happened at the Environmental Protection Agency since Trump returned to the White House. We collected more than 466,200 pages of federal and state documents.....

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

Yes We Can

#ProudBlue #GTS #RU Abdul El-Sayed, at a rally with Bernie, responded to Trump’s attacks,saying , “I don’t even care that he remembers my whole name because he can just go on and call me ‘senator’ after November,” adding, “I will be Senator Muhammad to you, bro.” Michigan, please #VoteBlue

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.

Really well done.

Why were the room rates at the Trump DC hotel jacked up the week of Jan 6 & who was paying them? From Zach Everson's 🧵 on the Trump DC hotel (Zach's reporting from the hotel was a must-read during Trump 1.0)

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

Fascists lose in Brazil, Serbia, and Hungary. Rising protests in Albania, France, and other European countries against billionaires and corruption. Very encouraging...

My reporting on the student movement in Serbia last summer. They kept at it, amazingly, for two years. And they won. snyder.substack.com/p/youth-prot...

Even more great news and I have to say, I didn’t think it would happen but Democracy won again. Lula won and defeated Trump puppet Bolsonaro. A great week for democracy. Canada first and then Serbia and now Brazil. Next Israel and the US. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Lonnie Rouse worked at the Hanford nuclear site for nearly 20 years. It was so toxic, he said, that the floor once melted the rubber off his boots. Now he needs 24-hour care. The DOE has appealed his workers’ compensation claim more than 20 times.

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

Folks here in Georgia are working hard to send @ossoff.bsky.social back to the Senate and elect @keishaforga.bsky.social as their next Governor! Proud to see so many volunteers show up yesterday to get out the vote in the final days ahead of the midterm elections.

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

Outrage as 18 voting sites in rural Alaska 'key to Democratic hopes' were advertised online but stay closed: report www.rawstory.com/midterm-elec...

Obama points out that while we may be struck with Trump for two more years, we are not stuck with a spineless Congress

The toxicity that @ericlipton.nytimes.com and his colleagues have uncovered is everywhere but if you live in Texas, Louisiana, or Alabama pay special attention
