It's weird how Barack Obama can get through an entire speech without blurting out weird noises, lying, or admiring other men's backsides.

An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is a textbook example of voter fraud.

Kind of exciting when a big court decision cites one of your cases. Kind of not as exciting when the case is one that you lost.

As someone smarter than me said, the Democrats are the Uvalde cops sitting on their asses while the GOP shot up the school we call America

I'm upset at myself for not keeping better track of the people I was following on X before I bailed, and now I fear I've lost track of some great content. Kinda same for TikTok actually, but that was YEARS ago and I only followed a small handful of people, so less of a loss.

Wut

Does he hear himself

Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad. "This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

It's hard to find creative recipes for one-button rice cookers. Lately all the cool rice dish recipes are for fancy ($$) rice cookers with different buttons/settings, or for instapots or something. I just have a simple one-button buddy that I've had forEVER.

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

Nonexistent "problems" the GOP insisted need immediate attention: - "Voter fraud" - In-school transgender surgeries - Large hordes of marauding invading refugees - Immigrants eating cats and dogs Real problems the GOP utterly ignores: - School gun violence - Gun violence in general - The economy

In 1990, when Iraq attacked Kuwait unprovoked, the sitting Republican president understood that wars of conquest have no place in a decent world order. Today, when Russia attacks Ukraine unprovoked, the sitting Republican president helps out. And kinda wishes he could do that to Canada.

Just saw a pair of MAGA hats (couple with a baby (!)). You kinda know they're just pushing buttons for the No Kings event. That's another difference between MAGA and libs. MAGA can try to start shit at No Kings rallies and expect to not be assaulted. Libs at MAGA events can't be so sure.

Donald Trump's proudest accomplishment is taking food away from working families to give his donors another tax cut.

There's a town I know where the hipsters go, called Bedrock! Twist, twist

Honestly I can't tell where this adminstration's lines are. She's an embarrassment and has to go, but Patel, Hegseth, and Kennedy are perfectly fine?

Thinking about GOP lawmakers who probably thought "hey, but I signed the Epstein files discharge petition so clearly I care about women and hate PDFs" would be a compelling campaign line, until the WH was like "nah, still not gonna release them"

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Waaaaaaay back in the day I had a friend who tried, a few times, to pass the bar and never did. We discussed whether he could call himself a lawyer on his resume as he looked for jobs. We easily decided No, and settled on just calling himself "[Name], J.D."

A GOP-linked super PAC is boosting a socialist in Ohio to peel votes from Sherrod Brown. @jimswift.bsky.social on this deceptive direct mail campaign: “Suddenly, the people who spend all year warning you about socialism would like you to consider a socialist. How thoughtful.”

We've lost track of how very un-ordinary ICE's current reign of terror is. We’ve already gotten used to a level of fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption that would be unthinkable and shocking to us just a short time ago. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-ty...

"You didn't meet our deadline," says the administration that STILL HAS NOT RELEASED THE EPSTEIN FILES abcnews.com/Politics/doj...

Me, I'll be just fine

Me: Yeah, I'm cancelling your service. I've been paying too much and it's way cheaper somewhere else Them: Sorry to see such a longtime loyal customer go! I can cut your costs down to $40/month Me: Um, okay, so why don't you offer these good rates to me before I threatened to quit?

My name is not the reason we're paying $5/gallon for gas. My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name is not the reason you can't afford your mortgage or rent. My name is not the reason you can't see a doctor. Their policies are the reason.

I truly don't recall any prior election year where I received quite so many emails and texts asking for money. IDK if it's just because my info has somehow become more widely shared, or if it's truly an uptick in the volume of asks.

Unpopular opinion: I feel bad for you if you insist that "one space after a period" is the ONLY CORRECT WAY because it's SUPER DISTRACTING to find two periods there. If two periods is enough to distract you from the content of the document, yikes.

Performance fleece? I'll be there at 9!

Wait what? He's breaking with the big man?

I'm actually seriously shocked that this was a line in the sand for them

Progressives need to stop pointing out pronouns in response to the "I don't do pronouns" set. It's old and kinda pedantic. You know it means the speaker refuses to accept another person's stated pronouns that don't align with what they perceive to be their gender. Address that directly.

I have multiple devices alerting me about things like texts and emails and I swear they all sound off at different times

I feel like this anti-trans wave harmed way more cis women who don't look traditionally feminine than it has helped women from being attacked by men in women's spaces

They're televising the execution of a guy named Hasan. I'm shocked.

There are just a few tickets left for our two-year anniversary party on Thursday at Urban Garden Brewhouse! Will we see you there? You could snag a copy of our first-ever print edition 👀 Free tickets here: www.eventbrite.com/e/the-51st-i...

Artificial Intelligence

Hours later, Trump posts that the US has just had “productive talks” with Iran and announced the US will not attack Iran before the midterms.

Yeah, the US criminally prosecuting foreign heads of state, in a US court, for alleged violations of US law, seems highly suspect, especially when they would not have been on US soil if they hadn't been kidnapped and brought here www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/n...

Typical GOP heartlessness: If it doesn't affect me or my interests directly and personally, I don't care. Even if what we're talking about is the death of millions of US citizens.

Leaked audio of Michigan Republican Sen. candidate Mike Rogers mocking Americans struggling with skyrocketing prices: "Oh my gosh, coffee went up. You know, horror!"

Wow, with the midterms this close I'd really like to donate to the Democratic Party, but gosh golly, I can't seem to find a link or something to do that through

GOP: We need to protect women from men trying to get into women's restrooms! Also GOP, re Cornell rapes: [crickets]
