Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

imagine if a democratic candidate anywhere said something like this about a jewish candidate, would be a ten-alarm fire in every media outlet for days. but the literal president promoting this sort of insane bigotry against a muslim won't even merit a story

Your all-too-regular reminder that the Supreme Court's opinion gifting criminal immunity to presidents is an anti-constitutional abomination... www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

brennancenter.orgSupreme Court’s Radical Immunity Ruling Shields Lawbreaking Presidents and Undermines DemocracyThe Court’s opinion in Trump v. United States is a dangerous attack on the rule of law.
Nathan Newman@nathansnewman.bsky.social

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

NEW: Judge Mike Bennet, a Trump appointee on the 9th Circuit, just told the DOJ he doesn't think they have jurisdiction as the district court was prepared to rule after he already knew 331K ballots were processed.

Dr. Amy Acton testified before a Grand Jury at 12 years old about the horrific conditions and abuse her mother and stepfather inflicted on her and her brother. She had more courage at 12 years of age than ALL the Republicans combined had during both of Trump's Impeachments. #VetsAgainstGOP

Thankfully, it seems our donations to progressive candidates go further: “Mamdani had consultants, too. But…once he reached the public-financing cap…he told donors to stop giving and volunteer—the one thing a candidate can do that pays a consultant nothing”

Our Citizens United-fueled political system is money laundering for oligarghs and crypto criminals like our current president.

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

"I came away convinced that the mayor’s focus and determination are the most crucial factors. Policies that work in one place fail in another because officials can replicate the law or the money but not the leadership — the force of will — behind the original success. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/13/o...
