NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Barack Obama just endorsed Angie Nixon for U.S. Senate! She may not have the full backing of the Democratic establishment, but she’s building support from the biggest names in the party. LFG! 🔥

Here’s something you should know about minks: They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people. They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19. Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

🚨 NEW AD: Where is Mike Johnson? Not in Louisiana. He hasn't held a town hall here in years. Not in Washington either. He shut down the House rather than let it vote on releasing the Epstein files. Mike Johnson forgot Louisiana. I never will.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

VoteVets is closing out the midterms with a new ad in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District. Tom Kean Jr. disappeared from Congress for months. He missed votes to end the Iran war, but he never missed an opportunity to trade stocks. It's simple: Kean’s got to go.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday… oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one endured two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its five month high.

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

When we face abuses of power and corruption of this magnitude, literally unprecedented in the history of the American presidency, as members of Congress, we have an obligation to investigate and to ensure that those facts become public and that there's accountability for misdeeds.

It’s *interesting* to read that six days ago the Trump admin told a federal judge it was working to “facilitate” Ahmed Soliman’s return to the US…then watch ICE removal planes fly right by the island where he’s being held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and probably again tonight. www.npr.org/2026/10/09/g...

ICE is refusing to return personal items to people who've been released, including driver's licenses and passports, proof of immigration status, employment authorization documents, cell phones, wedding rings, cash, and more. This is illegal. The ACLU of DC and ACLU of Illinois are suing.

This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.

“Let him talk!” Watch how @abdulelsayed.bsky.social handles this heckler and then think about how Trump mocked that woman’s weight as his supporters punched her in the face👇🏽 “You can pray how you pray, I’ll pray how I pray — The book that matters is the 🇺🇸 constitution.” 🔥

Holy shit. Rick Jackson didn’t just duck a debate with Keisha Lance Bottoms. He left her debating an empty podium. And the moderator made damn sure everyone knew it. Moderator Jeff Hullinger: “Mayor Bottoms, you may now ask a question to your opponent represented by the empty podium.”
