The Democratic party is not up to the task at hand.

Senator Dick Durbin@durbin.senate.gov

Republicans are not “Nazis.” Democrats are not “evil.” Democrats are not responsible for the murder of Charlie Kirk. Republicans are not responsible for the murder of Melissa Hortman. Opponents are not enemies. We’re Americans.

BREAKING: Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help.

Ah yes, I remember when Trotsky wrote about how Russian workers should be replaced by low wage immigrants from China so that strong Russian boys would have more time to play girls ice hockey. It's right there in the manuscript.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

"If I had to turn over all of my emails and Teams messages to either my current boss or to the person that's going to replace my boss and fire me, I would probably rather turn that all over to my current boss," Bailey said. Maybe don't work in a position that has requirements for transparency then?

NEW: DOJ says presidential records belong to the president — not the people — but an appeals court panel today said that argument would lead to perverse, and even dangerous, results. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

A voter at tonight’s debate asked Susan Collins if she thinks our democracy is under attack. Her answer: “I think our democracy will be just fine.” Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act before the midterms, and Susan Collins thinks we’re fine. Maine deserves better.

Maybe the least American aspect of the current immigration regime is the number of people who have lived here for 20, 30, 50 years, yet are still liable for deportation thanks to bad law. The right of the people to be secure in their persons cannot change because they were born somewhere else.

In a functioning judiciary this would yield many useful precedents on the order of "you can't strip members of Congress of their citizenship" & "you can't strip adults of their citizenship regardless of how irregular their parents' paperwork was"

I think it was Bouie who said that even if they DO somehow remove her (they won't), that won't change the fact she's a congresswoman! the house controlls it membership!

He’s mad our country is run by crooks and murderers and so am I. I’m no longer interested in negotiating with these people and neither is he.

Bill McKibben@billmckibben.bsky.social

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

Meredith Shiner@meredithshiner.com

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

This is a wild misapplication of the test for a stay, sure, but it’s also just disconnected from how the real world works. In Alito’s mind, the only factor for determining whether something is legal is “Does Mister Trump want it.” A little bobblehead for fascism. Vile, stupid, get out of my face.

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

If the law stated REAL DAMN CLEAR that a frontier lab is found liable for punitive damages if its model escapes its sandbox and hacks shit, and if that law was robustly enforced, then the frontier labs would figure out how to build better sandboxes. This really isn't rocket science.

it’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports

Only 2 countries people overwhelmingly favored war: India (72-28) and Israel (77-19), both of which had been at war with Muslim neighbors off-and-on for generations. The fact that they wanted us to follow their failed path should have been a HUGE red flag.

It isn't quid pro quo because there's no way he's going to pay *after* he has gotten what he wanted. It's quid pro fell-for-it-again

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump’s claim that his $5k payoff isn’t a quid pro quo for voting Republican is undercut by the fact he’s not pushing to do it now, when Republicans already control Congress
