Gillibrand was right about Al Franken and it is now her turn to leave the Senate. We can't win a battle against fascist oligarchs while fighting off corruption in our own ranks. #GillibrandResign

First lie told before she even got to the podium

New in PN: The fascist spectacle of streamed executions "Hegseth & Trump are embracing a livestreamed execution bc the America they prefer is one in which vaunting hate & communal violence are the norm. That isn’t a new vision. But it’s one we need to defeat this November, & every day after that."

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING FIVE ALARM FIRE. The President is weaponizing DOJ to go after an opposition leader. It's a massive completely unjustified abuse of power by his secret police to shut down dissent and we won't stand for it. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

the entire Trump administration makes sense when you realize the animating force is just state violence as content

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

He won't say what "monuments" there was a push to have "torn down" because they are literally the exact opposite of monuments to American nationalism.

Why I had to stop watching “The Righteous Gemstones” — laughter stuck in throat

She was embarrassed to tell us. Shame MUST change sides.

Weird, creating friction with an odious republican generates coverage? Nobody could have predicted

🔥 @katiephang.bsky.social (With Deniro behind her): “I’m suing A.G. Todd Blanche — Trump’s cosplaying personal lawyer — for the unredacted Epstein files… as an independent journo 🗣️ I don’t have a corporate oligarch telling me what to say… Trump has been violating federal law every day.”

I can’t believe it’s already the

Not impeaching him, refusing to even discuss impeaching him, empowers and encourages more theft, more corruption, more murder, more war, and more illegal activity of every kind. Where are Thune and Schumer? Why the silence on this? They swore an oath.

For shame, America

The ppl who tell you migrants are a threat to women’s safety are the same ones who will resist banning frats, even as frat bros display a 300% increased likelihood of committing rape vis a vis non-frat-affiliated men

I'm not naive enough to actually believe this will happen, but Democrats could be preparing, right now, lists of impeachment charges against (at a bare minimum) Hegseth, Kennedy, Mullin, Patel, Blanche, & Trump, as well as Bondi, Bovino, & Noem (still worth doing!) that rely purely on public facts,

Really burying the lede here on this one lol "The Democratic Party's unfavorable rating was the same as the DSA's at 55%, but its favorable rating was higher, at 44%. The Republican Party's unfavorable rating was higher than the Democratic Party's, at 58% & its favorable rating was lower, at 41%."

I just called my Senator Tammy Duckworth and told her very kind staff that the Senator’s position on NOT holding the administration accountable is completely unacceptable and frankly demoralising

"The US has grown used to the swift and dramatic erosion of women’s health and status that has followed Dobbs," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social, "to the horror stories and upward ticking body counts, grown into ease, and even a kind of compliant boredom, with women’s death and indignity."

Truth bomb

Never pass up a chance to help Rob Delaney

That’s 1am for me, still might tune in

With Data Center Don deciding to marry the GOP to AI by whatever name you call it, Democrats have the opportunity of the century. And they need to seize it by standing up for local communities, clean water, and stable power grids instead of letting corporate tech giants pillage the public good.

DOGE committed a lot of federal crimes and the only thing I have to say about this piece is: If Tyler Hassen was involved in any of the crimes (likely, given the scope of DOGE criminality), I hope he is prosecuted and goes to prison. The damage to science alone is devastating for our kids’ future.

My friend Steven has it exactly right.

Between 2025 and August 2026, the Trump administration deported over 25,000 people to countries other than their country of origin. Very few of these removals were publicly announced by the US. The Deportation Project tracked them. forbiddenstories.org/the-deportat...

The SS United States, the fastest ship ever built, is about to join the Titanic at the bottom of the sea after rusting away in a Philly harbor for decades in full view of an IKEA restaurant. The metaphors write themselves.

Crypto companies are the largest donors in American politics. Very few Americans use crypto at all. Journalist @gilduran.com calls it a gun to the head of American democracy. If a politician goes against them, tens of millions of dollars land on their head.

It was a catastrophe for this country that the media/pundit establishment overread 2024 as a deep, seismic cultural shift in favor of Trumpism. On the pod, @amandamarcotte.bsky.social is so good, noting that this was a key cause of institutions folding to Trump: newrepublic.com/article/2151...

us: democrats should make noise about their rivals fuck ups and harp on the gross boogeymen funding the party blue maga: shut up dont criticize precious theyre doing their best
