RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
At the beginning of the general election campaign Glengariff had Mike Rogers up by 11 points
If you take it at face value, Abdul has gained 18 POINTS since the primary
Making sure that large swathes of Biden's non-economic hires never work in a Democratic admin again is going to be a big project but one that needs to happen.
NEW: The group behind Cornel West's 2024 ballot push was wholly funded through Elon Musk's dark money network, according to Sludge's review of tax documents. readsludge.com/2026/10/26/m...
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka AOC, has softened her tactics and pursued voters and lawmakers in both parties. To reach her biggest goals, she‘ll need the far-left base—and everybody else. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4zVmvul
as a trans activist from Kansas, some of the most vehement pro-trans activists in the state are genuinely Christian pastors. the Dems in the State Legislature have way more pro-trans takes than this. he's saying this after my trans activist friends have spent like a week @'ing him. he can do better

Kamala Harris to me, backstage last week in Mississippi, on her thinking about running for president again -- which she acknowledges can only go on so long:
“I go back and forth. I honestly go back and forth ... There’s so many factors.” www.cnn.com/2026/10/26/p...
Both of New York’s senators refused to endorse Zohran as the Democratic nominee and a year later he’s one of the most popular politicians in the country lol
Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"
I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go
The fuck is Matthew even talking about? Other countries elections affect the global economy! Global health and security! International relations and trade!
This take is so fucking elementary and stupid
I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.
If Josh wants our help to win the race, he can recant.
Otherwise, he better hope his "electorally pragmatic" bigotry was worth it.
Don't spit in my face and demand I love you for it.
Turek is running for Senate in Iowa, a conservative leaning Republican state.
And it is a very close race.
You have every right to criticize his position on this issue and in a perfect world I’d join you.
But let’s put that aside and help him win this race. Turek is still better than his opponent
I think Sarah McBride's presence in the caucus has been extremely important in preventing Labourization because most of these people are kind of dumb and she can explain what's going on in small words.
It’s on us cis people to do it. We can’t tell trans folks to vote blue if we aren’t willing to make sure that Blue is materially better for trans kids and trans folks writ large
I have voted many times for Democrats who didn’t go anywhere near where I wanted them to on black issues. It’s par for the course if I don’t want much worse Republicans to win.
But I also expect some white siblings to hold those politicians accountable when I don’t have the energy to on my behalf
Lula ran a very aggressive and grassroots campaign. He campaigned everywhere and after the first round mobilized supporters to get the word out to lower propensity voters who would’ve voted to abstain. They started a WhatsApp called “Lula’s Army” lol
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.
Wild to have Latin America (hopefully and prayerfully not Brazil) and Western Europe falling to the far right and fascism while the US, Canada, and Eastern Europe are rebelling against it (the first is TBD til November 3rd of course)
We normally trace comparative politics to domino effects. But Blue Tide in Latin America, anti-authoritarianism in Eastern Europe, Liberal dominance in Canada, and the US getting ready to pounce on the most fascist element of American politics ever can only be reduced to "Kick the bastards out".
