To avoid impeachment, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is “angling” for Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) to appoint him to her Senate seat if she wins the governor’s race. Some Senate Republicans hope Trump fires him to avoid the vote.

🚨Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee issued a 53-page report Monday alleging that FIVE WOMEN have accused President Donald Trump of rape or sexual assault while in the company of sex trafficker Jeffrey #Epstein, or shortly after meeting the men together, decades before his presidency

Watch and share this great ad! Tim Scott’s bigoted attack against Dr. Annie Andrews won’t erase the two Republican governors endorsing’s her!

🎁🔗 Not enough attention has been paid to Pete Hegseth’s pastor Douglas Wilson’s extreme views of Christian theocracy, nationalism and a biblical patriarchal system for America. The NYT coverage from 2025. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/o...

🚨 Disinformation trackers who analyzed the Talarico smear have attributed it to the same Russian outfit, Storm-1516, that targeted GovTim Walz in 2024. The Talarico hit is the latest indication that Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s disinformation agents are once again meddling in an American election

🔗 Excellent review of the “increasingly transparent, brazen, and disturbing efforts of the Department of Justice to use its authority to preemptively interfere in next Tuesday’s elections” with the the filing of two separate lawsuits—one in California and one in Alaska.

OBAMA: That just feels a little bit different… where people are so sick and tired of being sick and tired. After 2 years of chaos. and cruelty. and corruption. and incompetence—you get a chance to say enough's enough.

🧵 Oleksandra Matviichuk is the head of the Center for Civil Liberties in Ukraine and was awarded the Nobel Peace in 2022. “History will certainly record how American negotiators, who had the opportunity to save a huge number of people, refused to raise uncomfortable questions before "humanist Putin”

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

THE TRUMP DOJ IS ESCALATING ITS ATTACK ON CA’S ELECTIONS. Yesterday, federal prosecutors sent threatening letters to election officials across California, giving them just 48 hours to respond to demands involving voters they suspect are noncitizens. 🧵

"In total, since taking office again, Mr. Trump exempted 202 facilities in 39 states and Puerto Rico from clean-air regulations that were going into effect. Some were among the country’s worst industrial polluters, including chemical manufacturers, copper smelters and coal-burning power plants."

The question is: Why did Trump derail peace talks?

🚨🚨A new level of escalation in Trump’s DOJ election interference. Suing in advance to block the certification of the election if Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola wins is outrageous. If anyone is still in doubt, we no longer have a DOJ that upholds the Constitution and the rule of law.

🎯 We need media who does more than parrot White House claims. Suddenly Melania of all people is an “Exclusive Intermediary” who negotiated a ceasefire? So far Putin and Zelensky have not agreed to anything.

🎁🔗 NYT Editorial Board: “The investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar is a chilling example of the federal government using its immense power to silence a critic. It is an affront to free speech, the rule of law and American ideals. The tactics of authoritarian societies” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/o...

Mike DeWine’s condemnation of Vivek’s disgusting attack ad against Amy Acton isn’t heroic. He didn’t pull his endorsement.

🚨 A timely guide for anyone if you witness attempts to undermine election integrity. Know how to report it and what rights you have 👇🏽

This is a really good discussion of the obstruction a Dem Congress will have to fight.

The Trump administration is on notice: Governors across this country—myself included—are watching closely. Any attempt to silence Americans' voices will be met with fierce resistance from the states. We WILL defend the right to vote. fox59.com/indianapolit...

Anyone who can ridicule a victim of sexual abuse, like Vivek Ramaswamy is reprehensible. Trump and JD Vance support this monster.

🎁🔗 More press on Trump getting played. Putin has sought to separate the war in Ukraine from potential business deals and diplomacy with the United States. Its efforts now appear to be working. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/w...

🚨 Watch Chris Hayes’ interview with Rep. Ilhan Omar. She was already getting death threats because of Trump’s racist attacks. Now imagine being forced to move your family because the government published your address.

While the investigation into Virginia Democratic Senator Louise Lucas began under president Biden, unsealing this indictment so close to an election seems politically motivated.

🔗 Every word of this by Paul Krugman. It’s time to take Starlink away from Elon Musk. “Private individuals do not have the right to undermine national security. And if temporary nationalization is the only way to stop them from doing so, so be it.” paulkrugman.substack.com/p/its-time-t...

🧵 Good news: Thanks to the NAACP, a Judge rejected Trump’s DOJ defense of Elon Musk's right to ignore the Clean Air Act and continue powering its enormous data center with dozens of illegal, hazardous turbines in Black neighborhoods.

For more than 40 years, the U.S. Arctic Research Commission has advised Congress and the president on what to study in the far north. Trump appointed a venture capitalist and MAGA influencer with no formal science background — and ties to Russia — as its chair.

We are at a fire alarm fire in the science Infrostructure. It is not just NIH (although NIH may be the worst), the rot is at the USPTO, the rot is at NSF, NEA, and NEH, the rot is at CDC, the rot is at Universities. And when I say to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, we need a commission, boy oh boy.

🚨 This reporting from military families who were left as “sitting ducks” on the Navy base in Bahrain is another shocking example of the ineptitude of Pete Hegseth. They described living with their children through traumatic days under fire, moving between multiple continents draining their savings

🗓️ Mark your calendar for November 10th. Looking forward to this series focusing on recovery from Trump’s degradation of our democracy.

Vivek Ramaswamy chose to make a vile and abusive ad against Dr. Amy Acton forcing her to revisit childhood trauma of abuse. He’s unfit for office. Her brother sets the record straight.

This ad & Ramaswamy's doubling down speaks volumes about his character. To lie about the abuse Acton experienced is abhorrent. To use the abuser is despicable & sadistic. If this is how he behaves on the campaign trail, imagine his depravity with gubernatorial power www.axios.com/2026/10/21/r...

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

Mississippi AG Lynn Fitch, who just determined that a white police officer was justified in fatally shooting 1-year-old Kohen Wiley, has quite a record. Let’s review: 🚩 ROE V. WADE: Led the Supreme Court challenge that overturned Roe, ending nearly 50 years of abortion protections 🧵

🎯 It’s crazy. Public schools are so underfunded in this country that teachers have to pay for supplies out of pocket and yet MAGA believes they are paying for gender-transition surgeries.

Buckle up folks. There will be more of this. U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz posted a video threatening election officials in Texas. “If you violate federal election law, I will hunt you down and prosecute you.”

According to Republican Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, this shooting was justified 😡 Kohen Wiley’s mother allegedly stole a package of diapers! She held up her 1-year old baby in the car to let the police know a child was in the car. They fired anyway killing him and wounding her.

🏆to this Seattle #NoKings resister for this Trump has s**t for brains sign. 😂

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.

🎯 Apparently under Bari Weiss, you can tweet support for Islamophobic racism and keep your job at @cbsnews.com

Yes Scott Bessent let’s revisit the Biden-Harris policies. The Economist October 2024. Trump’s tariffs and illegal war in Iran has trashed a good economy. www.economist.com/special-repo...

🚨 The fact that president Zelenskyy of Ukraine has to “hope” that Trump changes his attitude about Putin is such a shameful indictment against every Republican in Congress who is allowing him to betray an ally and the will of the American people who overwhelmingly support Ukraine.

I don't know how CBS News can claim it's a nonpartisan news outlet when a prominent CBS correspondent like Jan Crawford goes after Abdul El-Sayed in such a ridiculous manner. Of course, Crawford attended the CBS owners' dinner in honor of Trump, so her MAGA leanings were already well established.
