Our team is putting out articles faster than I can promote them. Here’s our latest, from yesterday afternoon, anticipating how the betting markets might contribute to rumoring in this cycle.

and this is what a functioning state does. you try to do a coup or you try to steal an election and there are fucking consequences. you don't get to retire to your ranch and paint or go on to run again.

This Day in Labor History: October 27, 1948. An air inversion trapped the pollution spewed out by U.S. Steel-owned factories in Donora, Pennsylvania. The Donora Fog killed 20 people and sickened 6000 others. Let's talk about this deadly legacy of industrial pollution. That photo was taken at noon!

I don’t think we should get used to a man this wealthy, this full of hate and this willing to demonize a small minority having so much power in our economy and in our politics. To defend democracy, we must defeat the oligarchs.

I do think when historians look back the period the exact moment where it flipped and started going the other way won’t be anything any politician did but my Minneapolis neighbors weathering the worst of the regime in the streets, rallying together, fighting back, and winning

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

I’ll save you the hate click to note that the author is an interior designer with a podcast and a new book to sell, so just keep on walking

Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.

here's Monday's post: "Obama dissed the Oval Bordello, and MAGA completely lost its shit" — boo fucking hoo, crybabies. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

Brazil. Absolutely amazing. Let's do it here next.

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Russia continues its war against Ukraine, yet the IWF has awarded Moscow the 2030 World Championships. A disgrace to Ukrainian victims and a dangerous message to aggressors: international rewards can follow invasion. #Ukraine #Russia #IWF www.kyivpost.com/post/88127

It really is striking how pushers of AI insist its overarching value is to liberate us from tedious work so we can spend time on life’s meaningful things only for rich tech people to repeatedly share how they use AI to outsource the work of bonding with their kids.

Let’s do this in America.

People don’t understand why I keep noting that BlueSky is not a bubble, it is a counterpublic. It serves its own organizational function: you can see in realtime in January 2025, on multiple types of social media, shouting that an executive order is instruction to an agency. This one stuck.

Protest works. Organization is decisive. Draw your own conclusions. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

last night, Preznit Fuckwit actually said that high gas prices were a good thing, because — and I quote — "we're making a frickin' fortune." why would this demented fuck even admit that out loud? thank you for your attention to today's post, in which my head explodes. link is here: bit.ly/4sssynQ

here's Sunday's post: "Let’s all watch Barack Obama and Jon Ossoff use Preznit Fuckwit as a chew toy" — They’re so good at this. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

Today marks the deadliest mass shooting in Maine’s history. In 2023, a gunman armed with a Ruger AR-10 rifle and high-capacity magazines opened fire in a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston. Eighteen people were killed, including four deaf people, and 13 others were wounded.

I don’t get it. If the tariffs are great for America and are bringing back manufacturing and are one of Trump’s signature policies, why won’t the Republicans who refused to overturn them even mention them?

to be fair to trump this isn't because he's lazy this is because every republican candidate in the entire country asked him to stay home and play golf this weekend

OBAMA: The big trade war he's starting now is with that well-known evil empire: Canada. These are the people who gave us maple syrup and Martin Short.

Trump said he had to takeover Greenland to keep China and Russia out. And then he snuck Russia onto the North Slope. Literally just ... inviting them in. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

Say @marypeltola.com? Did YOU know that Trump is stealing Alaska's oil and giving it to Russia?

He’s spent $158 million pushing Ken Paxton on Texas,; and we’re all still waiting for one single post about Paxton’s positive virtues.

I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.

in today's post: Todd Blanche won't rule out trying to steal the midterms, Piss-Drunk Pete breaks the Eisenhower Globe, and Abdul El-Sayed breaks every Republican's brain. thank you for your attention to this matter, in which I break it all down. link is here: bit.ly/4yCqTNO

hmmmm...not sure one person giving half a billion dollars to one party is a great sign of a healthy political system just not quite on board with that

NEW: We obtained doorbell video of Castle Rock Town Council candidate Chris Phelen stealing his opponent's campaign literature from a voter's porch Phelen, who is running on "conservative leadership" and "preserving Castle Rock's small-town character," admits he's done it before

Trump's celebration of the vile Ohio ad is part of his larger embrace of toxic parenting. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

In Kharkiv today, russia struck an ordinary commuter train. Killing kids, striking markets, Killing dogs, burning trains - everything is possible if you are a great "humanitarian"

The humanitarian Putin bombed more civilians today. Maybe Witkoff should spend a couple weeks in Kyiv to see first hand how much of a humanitarian his friend in Moscow is.

Accurate.

In normal times, the fact that government officials at HHS blatantly lied to the public and got caught would be a scandal of unusual size. Everyone involved in this disinformation scheme against the people of the United States should be held accountable.

the integrity of the rank and file (e.g. refusing to take part in the live stream, now this) continues to impress me. They deserve a secretary and commander in chief of integrity. Sadly, they are having to defend the military's honor against these reprehensible figures.

All these so-called “independent” Republicans will go right back to voting for Johnson as speaker, confirm every Trump nominee, vote with Trump on everything, and continue doing zero oversight on his corrupt regime. A vote for any one of them is a vote to continue all of that.

Glad to see more Democrats recognizing that if Elon Musk donates to your opponent, it is an absolute *gift* to you as long as you draw attention. He's a deeply unpopular, dorky white supremacist asshole who's using his billions to try and buy off politicians. Light. Him. Up.

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

"Vote for us or we won't pay Marines and their families restitution for poisoning them" is one way to go.

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.
