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.

The right can't seem to see the distance between "I just see trans people as people" and "I will force everyone to become trans whether they want to or not, so help me God"

Interesting approach by Mike Rogers to make his loyalty to Elon Musk & the oligarchy an explicit part of his campaign earlier this year. “When you stand with my Senate campaign today, you are directly shielding Elon Musk,” Rogers wrote. www.metrotimes.com/news/mike-ro...

We need to talk about rampant white nationalism a lot more.

Nearly eight months into a war that has destabilized the global energy system, the average price of gas during Trump's second term is now more expensive than it was during the Biden era, according to a CNN analysis of AAA data. https://cnn.it/4iExHpf

This is both a lot of money & <.0008% of Elon Musk’s net worth.

“An American energy company intends to buy Russian technology and use it to access a massive supply of natural gas in Alaska, liquefy it and export it to allies…But it turns out that the company was not an all-American affair.” But Russia, Russia, Russia!!! www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Check out how easy this is.

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

That oughta do it

Freshly back from Ukraine, historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social joins Bill Kristol and Tom Joscelyn to explain why Russia is losing on the battlefield, and why that makes Donald Trump Vladimir Putin’s best hope. Watch the conversation on the latest episode of It's Happening Here!

Christian nationalist Mike Johnson falsely smears the “other side” as “Marxists.” This is one asymmetry that deserves a lot more of a response: Extremist Rs are constantly smearing Ds as extremists while there is little focus on the very real extremism of the Rs.

Q: "Have you spoken to Elon Musk about the Ukraine situation?" Trump: "I have." Q: "Can you talk about that?" Trump: "No."

“Several conservative organizations …— including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment — have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits.”

I’m heading to vote early knowing… “I have friends everywhere.”

Home of the Brave's Sarah Matthews joined Deadline: White House to talk about the jan6memoryproject.org, our brand-new, searchable archive of files stemming from the January 6 attack that Trump's DOJ tried to erase.

The CIA followed Rubio’s lead except it’s the correct “discreet.” Still stupid though.

Advertising the opportunity for a, checks again, “discrete partnership with the CIA.” What tradecraft!

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.

The Texas GOP is sending panicked texts about "weirdo socialist furries" descending on polling places near you. Talarico has them freaked. But that also sounds like a fun party.

The greatest trick Sen. Susan Collins ever pulled was convincing people she’s a “moderate.”

Come on. This is completely insane. The John Roberts Supreme Court paved the way for oligarchs to try to destroy democracy. Obscene.

NEW, from Bloomberg News: “Elon Musk has now given more than $445 million in the current election cycle.”

Elon Musk just poured half a million dollars into this race to try to keep his puppet Mike Lawler in office, just like he did back in 2024. But the Hudson Valley can’t be bought. Mike Lawler has sold out to his trillionaire and corporate backers at our expense —

A Turning Point employee is seeking re-election to the Queen Creek school board to oversee care and instruction of children. Her 18-year-old son has come forward, telling LOOKOUT how she was verbally abusive and isolated him for coming out as gay.

Elon Musk has openly endorsed the white nationalist “great replacement” conspiracy theory. This is white nationalism - plain and simple. o

Transferring wealth from workers to managers and investors isn’t about enhancing productivity or efficiency. It’s just a wealth transfer. And the modern American economy is built on it.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

My investigation for @nature.com finds a surge of open records requests from groups with ties to the energy industry targeting climate attribution researchers. They come as the field plays a growing role in lawsuits suing big emitters for climate-related damages. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
