Some folks just can't recognize a self-own. Same guy who referred to this administration as turning the Titanic around.

Trump’s DOJ sued Utah for every voter’s private data, then told the official who said no she was under investigation. A judge Trump picked threw it out. That’s 27 straight losses. 106 letters to 4,500. Make Congress shut it down: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

But that's what the attack on empathy is about. Your not supposed to feel bad for what you see happening to others.

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...

Honest question: Has anyone ever had success with a customer service chatbot with anything beyond "What's my balance", or "When was my last payment?"

Uday (or is it Qusay?) sure likes to play soldier. Reminder: nobody in the entire Trump family tree has served a day in uniform since arriving in the USA in 1885.

⚠️Meta’s alleged interference in Brazil’s election is a warning for democracy everywhere—including the USA. If platforms can shape political visibility in Brazil, they can do it anywhere. www.panamericandispatch.org/p/meta-emplo...)

Trump has only allowed the transfer of 24 patriot missiles to Ukraine over the last 3 months. That is only 2 interceptors a week. Rather than ending patriot deliveries, Trump is sending a tiny amount so people can't complain he stopped while 95% of Russia's missiles still get to hit their targets.

Have you voted early?

Don't expect to see big changes in Israel's behavior if Netanyahu looses. Israelis are mad with him over corruption, trying to change the courts, and Oct 7, but not Gaza, Lebanon, or Iran. If anything, they're pissed that he didn't finish the job.

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”

Thinking of songs that were popular in the past, but sound kinda creepy today: Till You Come Back To Me - "I'm gonna rap on your door, gonna tap on your window pane"

‘The truth, which Anthropic didn’t want to emphasize in the S-1, is that Q2, right at the height of tokenmaxxing was fantastic, but Q3, post tokenmaxxing and after the rise of low cost alterntive models, represented a slowing of their growth.’ garymarcus.substack.com/p/what-anthr...

They will say “vote biblically!” but when you vote for welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, and loving all our neighbors, they will call you a Marxist.

And Johnson says: Psych on you! You can't get the gavel if I keep the House out of session!

I've hated Bill Maher, the hypocrite, for a long time. He insists that everyone respect his right to be an atheist, but will mock your religious beliefs in a heartbeat. What ever happened to freedom to believe as/what you want?

Actually, many of them did both.

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

This was the right decision, but I think SCOTUS will have no problem overruling it on their Unitary Executive theories.

🔥KULINSKI: “Who’s more responsible for your life being hell: trans people, Muslims, immigrants or billionaires? You know... 2 years of an anti-immigrant regime, is your life better? As @jamestalarico says the minority destroying 🇺🇸 are billionaires.” (H/T @marco.foster)

He thinks *he* was part of the *we* that got Bondi and Noem fired. 🤣🤣🤣. I really don't think *we* did anything. Trump just got tired of them. Already taking credit for stuff that happened despite him, rather than because of him. Jeffries and Schumer must go! We need leadership with a spine.

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

"Paying to build the data centers you need would make your balance sheet look like shit, so instead, borrow the money. Better yet, sign up a bunch of companies to be your subcontractors, and let *them* borrow the money to build your data centers."

I'd love to see him forced into disclosure on that one!

Despite what the law says, and Republicans claiming they support the troops, their Leader vows to let veterans die if Americans don’t comply. #VetsAgainstTrump

I'd caution those looking for real change in Israel, even if Netanyahu looses. The people in Israel are pissed with him for totally different reasons than most of us. I don't hear any candidates running on "we went too far in GAZA", or "we need to change, cuz the world hates us".

Republicans couldn't define communism with unlimited lifelines.

Meta's $10 Billion data center in Indiana produced 300 permanent jobs That's $33 million per job In a typical manufacturing plant, a similar investment would create at least 300,000 jobs Data centers benefit wealthy investors, not communities

GUARDIAN: “Lula’s win is bad news for Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27-year sentence for that botched power grab… also a blow for Donald Trump, the Bolsonaro clan’s most important international ally.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Before the Brazilian election where progressive Lula beat right-wing Bolsonaro, Meta is accused of disrupting Lula's Insta and WhatsApp accounts Meta blamed "technical difficulties" That would be more believable if similar incidents had not happened recently in the US Tech billionaires are evil

“.. AI bubble across the entire infrastructure stack.” - FEDWATCH

People like Musk believe in movies, like Total Recall, where they build machines that transform the martian environment. No one bothered to tell them it's just a movie.

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.

The response is reality….

BOOM!!! Lula wins! Bolsonaro loses! So does Trump! In the end, it wasn’t even close.
