Very happy to be a Contrarian subscriber!

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

Subscribed to this last year. Then learned of the sale to Sprjnger. 🤦🏻‍♀️ won’t be renewing.

It’s not too late to help. Vote early, then volunteer.

Our natural resources are under attack by the Epstein Class. We need people representing us who are not beholden to billionaires and trillionaires. Support Democrats to lead urgent climate action now.

Yay! Preorders of the book from @phoenixbooks.biz come with an amazing set of coasters by @mwuerker.bsky.social of modern-day “Founders” like Thurgood Marshall and Frank Kameny. phoenixbooks.biz/book/9781668...

Thune had almost 2 years to save his Senate majority. The GOP controlled both houses. They could have stopped tariffs, ended the Iran War, stopped ICE’s illegal searches and lowered taxes for all. They chose not to. Now look where we are. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/ATYB14lORTxC...

Leaders of the No Kings movement are already gearing up for the next major grassroots campaign: Making sure congressional Democrats don’t wimp out. My first piece at @newrepublic.com! (Reposted to update link card) newrepublic.com/article/2168...

Growing body of evidence demonstrates that Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women and "DOJ and FBI are doing everything they can to keep the American people in the dark about it." - House Judiciary Democrats democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Interesting context for Brazil’s election and governing prospects. Voter mobilization was fascinating. Brazil’s left-wing president won a historic fourth term in office. foreignpolicy.com/2026/10/26/b...

Yes, this is infuriating. It’s depressing as hell and the prognosis for accountability is poor, but it’s an important read. You don’t need this to fuel your desire to vote, but it won’t hurt. And we need to keep the outrage alive.

It’s not too late.

Well, thank god for the wisdom of Brazil’s voters. Is it too much to hope that Israel’s voters will deny their war-mongering war criminal another term (and years-more escape from judicial accountability)? I’m 🫣

If you're not already, really recommend you follow @katestarbird.bsky.social to unpack the election mis and disinformation.

And then the Russian company, presented with the evidence we had gathered, acknowledged in a statement: Yes, we are moving to take a large stake in the Polar LNG project in Alaska. Story was nailed. A bit hard to follow with all the names. But this is confirmation. Had not been previously disclosed.

You don’t have the luxury to vote ‘independent’ They are going to try to steal this election to continue the fleecing of America. The vote needs to be so overwhelmingly blue that they can’t steal enough ballots to change what the majority wants. A Congress that holds this motherf*cker accountable.

Found some voter fraud. Surely Blanche will make arrests.

So witkoff/kushner toadie sell out negotiations involves cutting Russian companies in on US energy deals? Are we giving Alaska back to Russia?

The Trump administration has signed an oil deal with a Venezuelan energy baron who has faced money-laundering investigations in three countries. ProPublica reviewed a copy of the 18-page agreement.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

This is the ninth (9th) major profile of Emanuel since December 2024 that failed to mention Laquan McDonald.

You’ve asked about contingency planning in case the Trump administration takes steps to subvert a free and fair election on November 3rd— @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @neguse.house.gov are talking about about this tomorrow at 4:00pm ET. Tune in live: www.youtube.com/live/xzyynbx...

Every bit of this 👇

If you live in a MAGA vassal state, make CERTAIN your voting machine is accurately reflecting your Democratic vote. They will do whatever they can to rig the election. Be vigilant. Don’t rush. Check your ballot before you call it good.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Absolutely.

The world’s richest man, a vast recipient of our tax dollars, is personally intervening in a war on behalf of Russia’s murderous dictatorship. Every public contract with firms he controls should be severed on national security grounds. This is legal & easy to do—> www.congress.gov/crs_external...

My god, how I detest these people. Abolish ICE. Prosecute, convict and imprison them.

Musk just warned Democrats he'll "come for" anyone who investigates him. Look, that’s not a threat. It's a dare. If Dems win the House and don't hit him hard on Day One, subpoenas in hand, every vote we cast drifts away in fear. He called the bluff. Now they have to call his.

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.

Now that Wedgewood Polls has been exposed as fakers, let's consider the odd fact that this year not one but TWO polling firms put out a fake poll and then claimed it had been a "social experiment" to see if fake data would enter the mainstream. Median Strategies used the same phrase in August. 1/

This is what leadership looks like.

However this game ends, the Niners need to get a new kicker. One who can make the extra point.

Three attacks on Starlink infrastructure supporting Ukraine have struck Lithuania, Poland and Bulgaria in under four weeks. Lithuanian and Polish officials blame Russian intelligence for the sabotage campaign targeting critical satellite communications.

October 17 marked a historic turning point with nearly 3,000 No Kings events nationwide. Now, we move to our next mission: protecting the count, and ensuring every vote is certified so winners are seated this January. Join our mass call to learn how you can help. #NoKings ❌👑

When ICE Melts documentary

This is an unbelievable betrayal. We need to stop this deliberate throttling, restore Ukrainian defensive capabilities and investigate who gave the order. (Hint: It’s almost certainly Trump, Musk or both.)

Well... sort of. "Eleven people with lawful permanent resident status were arrested in California Monday for alleged voter fraud. Hours later, First Assistant Attorney for California Bill Essayli admitted that they may not have even voted."

Polling shows Democrats could win 53–54 Senate seats — but control is still too close to call. This comes down to turnout. Period. Every Democrat needs to show up and vote like our lives, our rights, and our democracy depend on it — because they do. No complacency. No sitting this one out. VOTE.
