Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

I always found DOV an insightful and righteous voice, speaking out for her community and our country from a broad perspective and deep experience. Very sad to see this news that she has passed. We lost a great one. My condolences to the family. May her memory be a blessing

Have to take a break for a bit. Somehow the sad news about DOV still hitting me hard

Eight days before every election is hereby Denise Oliver-Velez remembrance day

The persecution of @repilhan.bsky.social just days before an election is vile and politically-motivated. I'm leading 175 House Democrats in denouncing this. When we retake power, we have to seriously look at how we can stop these abuses of power — starting with the power of the purse.

The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.

Election Day is just over a week away! South Carolina’s early voting locations are open this week Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Election Day polling places will be open Tuesday, November 3, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Hungary, great. Serbia, great. Brazil, great. But also Alberta secessionists getting absolutely kerbstomped to the point that Danielle Smith told them “new phone who dis” was also great.

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.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

Former presidents are just roasting the hell out of the White House redo today and it’s going to drive Trump absolutely insane

For my fellow denizens of Maine. "Musk" is playing at the Maine film Center in Waterville.

It's a long movie, and I thought I'd set aside some time and watch it in the next week or so. But it really looks like all the showtimes for the Musk film are vanishing. AMC previously had a lot of options, and now seems to have none in my area. Same for numerous other venues

“It’s not only unlawful, but it’s not in the U.S. interest to have Russian technology controlling the commercialization of Arctic gas in the North Slope,” Mr. Riddle said in a brief interview."

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

UPDATE: Pro-voters filed an updated request to block Trump from pressuring California into comparing its voter rolls against federal databases to identify alleged noncitizens. The new request seeks to block the larger policy to "browbeat, cajole, and intimidate California voters."

This gets the risks we face correct and identifies how incompetent and misaligned political leadership is exposing us in all spheres.

Trump has utterly failed the country. He's acted lawlessly, damaged our economy, our reputation, and directly caused so much death and destruction. He is incapable of performing the job and cannot keep us safe. Trump needs to resign. The sooner he's gone, the better for us all

Nichols has this right. Trump should resign, and failing that, it should be the easiest call for our politicians to impeach and remove him. He didn't deserve the second chance. He's already a massive failure. He can't do the job, can't keep us safe. Every day he weakens us more. Trump needs to go

Treachery and sabotage. Trump absolutely cannot keep us safe. He doesn't even care to. He is actively depleting our defenses and leaving us vulnerable. He should resign or be removed

Yes! The war has been a disaster for Russia, and it may have ended much earlier if not for the possibility of Trump's friendly policies in 2024

This is why Russia is still fighting, why the war continues and why people are dying: Because Trump and Vance encouraged Putin to believe he could win

Its war against Ukraine has been a disaster for Russia. It should have quit and pretended it achieved victory in 2024, but the prospect of Trump was too attractive. Even an America corrupted by Trump can't bail out Putin

The Trump administration is extending the war in Ukraine and making it worse. It has been a disaster for Russia, but they continued because Trump had a chance to win in 2024 and would collaborate with them. Now the targeting of civilians has worsened and no end is in sight

Yes, the political situation in the US ensures the war in Ukraine will continue to 2025. It has been such a disaster for Russia. With a different Romney- or McCain-like GOP candidate and US House, Russia might have cut its losses and ended the war. But Trump running means more years of slaughter

I had not realized PHP was so widely deployed. I thought it was from another era

🚨 BREAKING: Democrats have filed a new lawsuit against Trump, asking a federal court to block his administration from: 🔺Threatening election officials with criminal prosecution 🔺 Pressuring states to remove voters from the rolls The suit comes just a week after Trump’s DOJ sued California.

Just a few hours ago, President Trump said in the Oval Office that I should be tried in court because I dared to talk about the corruption coming out of the White House.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Nothing good can come from this. Ukraine's presence isn't even contemplated. Trump will be in his worst shape after a resounding election defeat. It's another sign there is clearly some corrupt bargain lurking, and we still don't know what Trump thinks he's getting

I think Trump's apparent urgency to deliver a lot of goodies for Putin before the election is ominous. We are going to beat these guys, but the tricks will be relentless

Supporters describe these sanctions as “tough" "historic" "punishing" etc, and worse, “mandatory.” The most accurate word to describe these sanctions is "optional." They are NOT "mandatory," it's 100% at the president's discretion, and he can undo them at will. I will return to this point.

Why are we seeing this and so many pro-Russian actions right before midterm elections instead of laying low like they did on anti-abortion and -healthcare? Does Trump have to deliver pre-election for something he wants from Putin?

More pro-Russian actions by Trump in the run up to the midterm. We are sadly accustomed to this type of thing, but I would naively think he would lay low during this time period and delay the treachery until post-election. It's like he wants something from Putin and has to deliver now

Tonight, we received confirmation that a suspicious letter was intercepted en route to our office in Detroit. Everyone is safe, and the matter is being investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the FBI.

It's ominous we are getting a steady stream of this pre-election when he should be laying low. They delayed the anti-abortion and -healthcare stuff for post-election. Something urgent about this election regarding Russia

More pro-Russian actions by Trump in the run up to the midterm. We are sadly accustomed to this type of thing, but I would naively think he would lay low during this time period and delay the treachery until post-election. It's like he wants something from Putin and has to deliver now

The Department of Homeland Security and Los Angeles US Attorney Bill Essayli took time out of the day to fact check me, and in so doing appear to suggest that their own lawsuit is wrong. I hope the California is paying attention; they are saying online what they weren’t willing to say in court.
