Hugely good and positive news. Will do a lot to dispel his inevitable “it was rigged!!!” Claims.
Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election. This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side. But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX
Americans OVERWHELMINGLY HATE RUSSIA. And a large majority LOVE UKRAINE. Do not be deceived by what our rogue POTUS would have you believe about America.
Do you consider Russia to be an ally or an enemy of the United States? Registered U.S. voters: Ally 3% Friendly 7% Unfriendly 30% Enemy 48% The Economist / YouGov Poll

BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.
Fuck yes. Major win for democracy. One of their anti democratic election sabotage attempts down. Dozens more to go.

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.
Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
reminds me of the celebrations after Biden beat Trump in 2020. of course Biden then went on to pussyfoot around accountability and reform so as to not hold Trump accountable for his insurrection and we're still paying the price.
If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

Who does the ocean belong to? I asked Otto Spijkers of Leiden University to explain the law of the sea, from territorial waters and fishing rights to deep-sea resources and international disputes. We also built a glossary to make the key terms easy to follow. ⬇️🌊

I’m very glad to see more republicans endorsing democrats running for office. This is the movement we hoped to create in 2024. The time apparently wasn’t quite ripe then. It seems so now. The new, reinvigorated American democracy begins soon. thehill.com/homenews/sta...

We've peacefully protested, now vote blue up and down the ballot in overwhelming numbers to counter Pedonald's attempts at cheating and to stifle the GOPedophiles in Congress as well as the oligarchs. Your. Vote. Really. Matters. Your vote is your voice, your choice. Use it!
well, they protested AND VOTED. the two must be used in combination.
Raskin is really on a roll today. I called his office and thanked him as one of his constituents today. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

They absolutely don’t and I never made that claim. You on the other hand, claimed that voting can inherently defeat fascism, which it usually can’t especially when the citizenry of the United States is the most brainwashed and propagandized of all the “first world” countries.

Fuck yeah. Thank you Mrs Comey for fighting back. Keep on please.
NEW: A federal judge has now ruled that former SDNY prosecutor, Maurene Comey, was UNLAWFULLY fired by the Trump DOJ. He orders her retroactive reinstatement and back pay. Comey alleged in her lawsuit that she was fired for politically motivated reasons. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/26/m...
This kind of thing is happening nationwide. Texas newspapers have endorsed Talarico. The tide is turning against the fascists. It is our job to crest the wave upon the shores of democracy.
The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

Every fucking time someone smarmily says "DICTATORS CAN'T BE VOTED OUT", Tell them to get utterly fucked. Brazil. Poland. Hungary. Serbia. There are mounting examples of just such a thing being true. Fight for every inch of democracy.
Yet another entrenched authoritarian defeated yesterday in Serbia. As the United States approaches a critical midterm election, Serbia shows that we can win despite uphill authoritarian conditions. It can be done. It takes all of us, especially young people. Timothy Snyder

Very good. Keep this up, Democrats. We demand accountability. If you do not deliver it, we will search elsewhere for capable representatives in government.
House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.
THIS is why he lifted sanctions, btw.
The Trump administration's $25bn Polar LNG project on Alaska's North Slope will be turned over to a Kremlin proxy, the Financial Times and New York Times report, quoting former Exxon executives. For Alaska voters, this is the big October surprise as they head for the polls.
