New in PN: Living in the long, stupid shadow of the Big Lie "Elections where Trump — or any other Republican — wins are fine, but elections where Republicans lose are corrupt. The only solution, of course, is to let the DOJ intervene both before and after any elections that Trump has fixated on."

USPS workers’ greatest concern about Trump’s mail voting plan was a requirement that they reject ballots for an array of reasons. “That’s not what we do. We deliver mail. We don’t decide what goes and what doesn’t.”

Perfect

WASHINGTON (AP) - US consumer confidence recovers in October after falling to a 14-year low last month. @apnews.com

(Reuters) - Americans have paid more for their gasoline and diesel at the pump on average during President Donald Trump's second term than they did under his Democratic predecessor, Joe ​Biden, according to the AAA. ⛽️ @reuters.com www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

House Dems Report: “A growing body of evidence demonstrates Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the 1990s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the 🇺🇸 people in the dark about it.” The report: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

WATCH: A defense contractor CEO and his close associates donated nearly $900,000 to dozens of politicians and got over $40 million a year in government funding. He told the FBI that Sen. Susan Collins was his most important patron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

Middle East dictators created a massive slush fund for Jared Kushner. trib.al/fXvwuJt

Off the charts Trump family corruption. Kushner got Billions of foreign funds, while spearheading foreign policy. And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn

The Cal State LA bachelor's degree initiative just launched at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center. With 81.5% of students who earned rehabilitative credits remaining conviction-free after release, we're setting folks up for success after incarceration and creating safer, stronger communities.

Missouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its ads focus on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors. The campaign website never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.

🚨 A bombshell new House Judiciary Democrats report details allegations from 11 women linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, including five who accuse Trump of sexual assault. The report also alleges a sweeping DOJ cover-up. We broke down the explosive findings.

People saying Trump has no health care plan are wrong. This is it 👇🏽

If you haven’t yet had a chance to see or read Barack Obama’s speech in Cleveland Saturday night, please do both. And then share it as widely as you can. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/wise-and-important-words

Attn: USPS changes mean your ballot may not be postmarked the same day you mail it. Don’t wait until Election Day! Deadlines vary by state. Some require ballots to ARRIVE by Election Day, not just be postmarked.

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

The report alleges Donald Trump was an “active participant” in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse. trib.al/r158uvt

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

In case facts still matter

GOLDMAN: “.. we are starting to see clearer signs that the AI impact is spreading beyond the technology sector. .. the share of US firms that have adopted AI in regular business functions now shows a statistically significant negative correlation with employment growth ..”

I can save you some time. He doesn't name ONE SINGLE ISSUE. When asked to name what people are concerned about, he's got NOTHING. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Trump again talks about Husted’s ass, then talks about Nicki minaj’s ass and asks her to stand up so everyone else can look at it So presidential 😕 (h/t @acyn.bsky.social )

Donald Trump was heading towards his helipad when he suddenly stopped to acknowledge a nonexistent crowd. trib.al/z9cawI1

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Attorney General Todd Blanche is open to blocking states from certifying the November midterm elections. trib.al/HBARO60

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

conservatives in washington state want freedom and small government in the form of state-mandated genital exams for high school students: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

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

Before Trump arrived, it was the Republicans who professed to stand for the Constitution, principle, truth, honesty, integrity—even honor. Republicans were the proud party of Lincoln and Reagan. That was then. None of this is true of today’s Party and this Republican Congress. trib.al/1uSUSl5

The fact that striking Iran can be put on hold for weeks in an attempt to sway the midterms clear proof that Iran doesn’t pose an imminent danger and this war is an evil charade

Attn: The Trump administration is attempting to violate a judge’s order again. A judge blocked the reorganization of the Forest Service. Now Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the Trump administration is “full-bore ahead” with its sweeping Forest Service reorganization.

There it is. Elon Musk admits it. “That loophole was closed last week.” In a deranged post on X, Musk openly acknowledges that SpaceX recently restricted Ukraine’s ability to use Starlink.

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.
