Re-upping this photo of my pumpkin from 2 years ago, in loving memory of Tim Curry this year... who will ALWAYS be Pennywise. #RIPTimCurry

Healy was one of the primary reporters in the 2016 campaign. His coverage then and earlier was criticized for misogyny. (He popularized the derisive "Clinton cackle.") The nyt 2016 coverage was deeply flawed, obsessing over Clinton's emails while only glancing at Trump's evident predation.🧵

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

the ADL is more mad about Zohran calling a neighborhood Eastern European than Elon giving a Nazi salute Zohran derangement syndrome is real

🇮🇱 🗳️ Israelis flocked to the polls on Tuesday in turnout unseen in decades, with a deeply divided electorate delivering a verdict on veteran right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the first election since the October 7, 2023 attack ➡️ u.afp.com/SyTR

voter turnout in israel at highest by midday since 1977 normally a good thing. for netanyahu, high arab turnout is an ‘emergency’ (…and an excuse to claim election was stolen, of course)

Election Day is only the beginning of a long process in Israel, which starts with parties recommending a candidate for PM, and continues with negotiations between the parties. It will be weeks before a governing coalition is formed — if one is formed at all. @lahavharkov.bsky.social reports:

Media has been largely silent on this until last day or 2, but today is election day in Israel & NETANYAHU is the main target. www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s our money.

This is what I meant when I said in 2024 that when I looked at the incoming administration, all I could see was rape. It’s the heinous act itself, yes, but also a mentality, as deftly explained here:

Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan? JD VANCE: People are busy. People have lives. People have jobs.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

does anyone have an archive file about former tpusa contributor rebecca brannon getting a restraining order against her because she was stalking her editor, who she was in love/obsessed with? seems to have been scrubbed off the internet

Went to the NYT homepage to see if they have anything on the new rape allegations leveled at Trump (they do not), saw this, and noped out.

Unbelievably vile 1920s-style scientific racism coming from the pinnacle of US government

BREAKING: DoorDash is in advanced talks to acquire its delivery rival Instacart, per WSJ. The mega-merger could be finalized as soon as this week, and it would value Instacart at around $17 billion.

@jesseduquette.bsky.social

another big one today - polls show neither Netanyahu's current government nor the opposition coalition with a majority

🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social: “Obama lives rent-free in Trump’s mind— everyone knows the decor in the Cheesecake Factory is gawdy… When Trump says ‘WE’ are making so much money on oil, the ‘WE’ he’s talking about is HIM.”

If Bolsonaro had won, Brazil would be the enforcer of Trump's 'Donroe doctrine' in Latin America. It would have withdrawn from BRICS, & sold its critical minerals to the US Lula's win ensures Brazil's advocacy of a fairer, more multipolar world and more rhyming of development with decarbonization.

Ok, we're officially a week out from US election day, it's time to put my marker down. Given where everything is at, I see three decently plausible scenarios. You will notice none of them include the GOP keeping the House, as I think nothing short of a miracle would be needed for that.

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

At least 18 early voting centers in rural Alaska have not opened as of Friday, state Sen. Bill Wielechowski says. The commonality? All the affected areas have at least a 60% Alaska Native population — with nearly a dozen having Alaska Native populations upwards of 90%: https://demdock.com/4yTW5Ze

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

For my last Better Win a District, I wrote about TN-09. Republicans gerrymandered Memphis, the Blackest city in Tennessee, out of a seat in the House. Or at least they tried. Then along came Justin Pearson. Now TN-09 is a real fight. www.liberalcurrents.com/better-win-a...

Netanyahu going full Trump. Must be looking bad for him.

Robert F. Kennedy Sr. spent his time in government fighting *against* racist bigots who said these exact same things, except their rants were against “Africans”

"There's six dozen Kennedys in this 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. And they make really shitty public servants."

Polish FM Radosław Sikorski: "There is a myth that has been successfully planted in the West that Russia always wins. But things don't always go their way. They lost the Crimean War. They lost the war against Japan. They emerged from World War I with their tails between their legs.

Georgia is one of the main states to watch for Republicans to redo their WI/NC playbook of using the lame duck session to entrench power after losing elections. New reporting on what they might do if they lose: www.ajc.com/politics/202...

If they lose power, expect Republicans in several states to strip powers from incoming Democrats, pass voting restrictions, and new gerrymanders. They did it after losing governors races in NC in 2016 and 2024, MI and WI in 2018, and KY in 2019. They preemptively did it ahead of losing IA this year

Very skillful lede-burying, New York Times.

And, oh yes, there's apparently another alleged Epstein accomplice. Subpoenas will fly in January. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

It's not just California: The Trump admin just asked Washington state to set aside ballots received from more than 400 people it claims are suspected to be registered to vote without U.S. citizenship.
