"Energy independence"

It's well-documented that the president maintained a years-long friendship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker. It might strike you as odd there aren't direct allegations of Trump engaging in child sex trafficking.. except there are. There are SO MANY. They just never get reported!

Around 175 House Dems just called on Trump's DOJ and DHS to end "weaponization of law enforcement" against Rep Ilhan Omar. The letter is signed by numerous ranking committee Dems, showing depth of support for Omar in leadership and signaling how Dem House will act. newrepublic.com/article/2171...

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Trump’s team urged him not to celebrate higher oil prices ahead of the midterms. He ignored them — again. The guy seems convinced that consumers will celebrate Big Oil cashing in, even as they suffer at the pump. This probably isn’t what Republicans want voters to hear. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The abstract existence of rich people is frustrating but you know what is more frustrating? The idea that they control me and my country, because they're rich. No they don't. That's not something I agreed to. The arrogance of believing they do is unforgivable and must be penalized, harshly.

I know people try to whip up fury against these guys on these kind of material and class war grounds - they're very rich, they have so much - but I think there's a more fundamental question of WHO PUT THEM IN CHARGE OF US? I vote for my leaders, and I never voted for David Ellison or Elon Musk

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

"The director won’t protect even our most respected analysts when they tell hard truths, so they stopped telling them and learned to avoid topics the White House didn’t want to hear,” newly retired CIA official tells @shaneharris.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Thanks, Susan Collins! She engineered a tariff swap to help win reelection, & we'll pay new 50% tariffs on shampoo, paper & paperboard, air conditioners, freezers, power hand tools, & more. Multiple types of flooring, carpet, & rugs are hit. #MESen Complete list: www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

has mmfa or someone like that compiled a comparison of airtime and front page headlines given to hunter biden vs jared kushner, given that kushner's alleged corruption is about 1000x larger, you would expect it to receive more coverage than Hunter's, right?

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Of course, the sexual predator in chief defends mocking 12 year old rape victims

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Blanche had a very different view of that rule when he represented Trump.

Fascinating that as even as other Republicans who long ago sold their souls to MAGA still have enough baseline political acumen to see how poisonous this is, Vance is completely oblivious. It isn't just that he has no principles, decency, or moral compass, he's also really fucking bad at politics.

Mike Rogers was just caught on tape talking about how he wanted to make sure that there were retired cops who could intimidate voters in the city of Detroit. We deserve the right to vote. People have fought and died for that right. No more election deniers.

Trump is openly bribing and extorting voters, including on issues of immense local importance. Musk is doing all kinds of stuff. He and the other tech barons are biasing their platforms. It isn't terribly subtle. www.offmessage.net/p/donald-tru...

All in the same direction… www.offmessage.net/p/donald-tru...

honestly there should one day be an entire federal agency dedicated to investigating musk and his sprawling criminal enterprise. hire ten thousand people to investigate DOGE and X and SpaceX and everything else. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Also the *specific* thing the mother claims Acton lied about was that the family lived in a tent during part of her childhood. The court records show that the stepfather was arrested... in the tent where they were living.

It really needs to be emphasized that the woman Vivek is featuring in these videos fled with an accused & indicted child rapist and successfully helped him avoid trial for 20+ years.

No way…

This Al Jazeera reporter does what mainstream media never does: 1) asks the real factual question to vet a person’s racism, and 2) leaves it in the clip that airs instead of removing it

Main takeaway from the NYT Iowa focus group is that none of these voters really know what’s going on and they barely know anything about the candidates running in either statewide election lmao

nobody who says this has ever actually researched a candidate. the vast majority of the public does not. they also dont really want to hear common sense solutions or have candidates meet in the middle. what people want is at best for pols to simply say how theyre going to fix it, whatever it is.

I am sure that the investigation, led by her wedding guests, will be thorough.

I don't know how you do it, but this sort of fraudulent troll mailer really ought to be discouraged by law somehow. This mailer attacks Amy Klobuchar on "police accountability." Meanwhile, here's what the GOP-and-Lisa-Demuth-aligned people who sent it were doing a few months ago:

This needs to be said openly: This is what happens when the government is led by someone who attempted a coup d’etat, and his agencies are run by his stooges.

The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so. What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.

the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!

They both did it, it was a joint effort, it’s one of the crazier things to happen in the national security space (which is really saying something) and every government should be scrambling to reduce dependence on—and as soon as possible get off—Starlink/shield or any Musk product, including the US.

This has been the fundamental mechanism through which political media operates my entire life. The right makes a bunch of noise about a fake scandal, the mainstream media "covers the controversy," & normie voters get the vague impression that Dems are constantly involved in scandal.

Second all of this from @gregsargent.bsky.social. Every Democrat should back Slotkin up and reiterate her point. Don’t come work in government if you’re eager or even willing to participate in Trump corruption. newrepublic.com/article/2168...

Talking to people who are on the doors I cannot tell you how true this is. Voters hate Trump, they hate Republicans, but they also think Democrats are the biggest bunch of spineless jellyfish on the planet. They barely believe we’ll do half of what we say we want to do. But they’re desperate.

Basic common sense should tell you that nearly all of the trivial number of noncitizens who attempt to vote do so out of ignorance rather than fraudulent intent. It’s easily caught & risks serious criminal penalties for no personal benefit. No rational person would do that deliberately.

Running against Musk seems smart.
