This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

How racist and desperate do you have to be to look at this and say, “Got ‘em!”?

The White House put an AI video of Hillary, Chuck, Hakeem, Kamala, and Ilan jamming out to The Gap Band’s “Outstanding” like a Tiny Desk concert and described Democrats as “washed up,” but damn they never looked cooler. Total self-own.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Actually, a Congress that allows this lawless administration to continue for another 2 years is a spineless Congress. A complicit Congress. And an oath-breaking one. Investigations are an insult to buy them time while more people die! Screw investigations. We’ve seen enough. IMPEACH!

Probably the guy who's going to come out of this one looking like a hero is André Janones, a deputy (congressman) from Minas Gerais who just kind of... decided to take the reins of the situation, more or less, and people were feeling so aimless after the first round that they went along with it.

The mobilization itself was already not something I ever expected to see, but to actually win? Hell, to double the winning margin from the 2022 runoff? Genuinely surreal. Maybe child raping billionaires *don't* have to run the world with a shit-eating grin. Maybe that can stop.

One benefit of holding leaders accountable for crimes is that if Flávio Bolsonaro tries to overturn this election, he knows exactly where he’d end up. In prison, next to his father.

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.

We cannot end the fascist regime without removing Trump, and we cannot remove Trump without impeaching him. Impeachment and removal must be the top priority.

But the weight of what Alexander was doing started to settle on him late last year. He said he gets flashbacks about a specific traffic stop, when he handed ICE the husband of a woman he knew. It was between Christmas and New Year’s. She was less than 2 weeks postpartum.

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

Replying to @francescadnunz.bsky.social

The cop was handing them off to federal immigration agents. As early as a month after the flood, laborers were adding an extra 90 minutes to their daily commutes, just to avoid Ingram’s five-minute stretch of highway.

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

This shit is why we fought this tooth and nail in my town. And we won.

NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

If Democrats actually win big because people want a check on Trump corruption I expect every move to do so will be covered in the corporate media as being risky to their 2028 position.

“We don’t want to impeach if we can’t secure a conviction in the Senate.” No presidential impeachment ever has. That isn’t the point. The House’s job is to say: unacceptable. You are not fit to hold this office. Impeachment serves a purpose. 🏛️ @flareusa.bsky.social

Also, as I have recommended multiple times: Go vote with someone vulnerable to the voter fraud conspiracy theories. Friends with a trans person who will be under suspicion bc of their ID or a brown person who speaks mostly Spanish? Don't make them go to the polls alone.

Celeste Pewter@celestepewter.bsky.social

If you haven't already, 1. Make a plan to vote, 2. Study your ballot this weekend, 3. Help your family and friends make plans too (e.g. can you take them to the polls/vote centers or drop off their ballots?) 4. Ask them to pass it forward.

ICE seems to think writing “that mission” instead of “that plane” magically absolves them of perjury, but the judge was asking about the plane’s availability. It was available. There is no difference between a deport and a TCR flight. Both happen on the same plane all the time.

Straight to jail. Not even a joke.

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...
