i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Obama lives rent free in Trump’s head. Always has. Always will. Besides this being the ‘gayest midterms’ ever (according to Jesse), Trump saying ‘I don’t give a damn. We’re making a fortune’ when stock trading more in 1 day than Pelosi did in 12 years, is what voters are hearing from the President.

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

Police ran more than 1,400 searches of Denver’s Flock cameras marked “ICE” or “immigration” in under a year. Most of them weren’t even from Colorado. Lafayette, Colorado, saw that and voted 6-0 to unplug all 30 of its cameras. If you have them your town should be next.

Colton is 19 months old, severely disabled, & Ohio denied him Medicaid. What kind of country makes a baby fight for medical care while politicians slash the programs families depend on? Remember Colton when you vote. He deserves better. So do we. Vote blue early or on Nov. 3.

It is now 311 days since Epstein Files Transparency Act mandated full release of Epstein Files—and they're still not released. Never before has an innocent person refused to release facts that would exonerate them from accusations of rape, sex trafficking, and being a PDFile. Sounds quite guilty.

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

I’d love to know who this fiery, patriotic young woman is, so I could follow her social media or Substack. This is EXACTLY how the fuck we should all be feeling about the corrupt, criminal regime that’s infested the White House. This shit has to end. And people like this woman will lead the way.

interestingly this interest in black voters doesn’t extend to the republican effort to deprive them of federal representation, nor do they seem interested in asking whether republican candidates are burdened by the fact that trump talks like a klansman

Trump talks about how he "got Greenland" at every rally now, and people in Greenland, Denmark and around the world take note of how he signed agreements and then announced in campaign rallies his intention to violate them. This is not a joke.

Actually, Todd Blanche, President Trump has twice stated at campaign rallies that he instructed you to file this suit to help ensure that Dan Sullivan would be reelected. This is one more reason why you are likely to be disbarred after the Disciplinary Committee is acquainted with all the facts.
