With so much at stake—Musk himself has billions of dollars in government contracts he wants to protect or land—it would be surprising if the final days of this campaign were free of disinformation skullduggery and campaign-cash chicanery.

Protest works. Organization is decisive. Draw your own conclusions. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

My reporting on the student movement in Serbia last summer. They kept at it, amazingly, for two years. And they won. snyder.substack.com/p/youth-prot...

“Americans deserve a Congress that works for them, not for special interests or personal portfolios,” the Florida Republican said in 2025. Then the federal contracts started rolling in.

With Orban six months ago, Serbia today and now this, sanity is actually having a good run. May it continue through November 3rd. (Fingers crossed for Israel and France, as well)

As I've said, this is either an impeachable offense that Democrats act on or it's a new precedent.

Our favorite quote from last night! Obama really roasted Trump, and it was glorious.

Here's Lula celebrating tonight with Erika Hilton, a transgender politician who led the drive to end the six-day work week in Brazil. Erika showed workers solidarity, they showed her solidarity back. Solidarity is how fascism loses.

Nearly two hours of oral arguments just concluded in the California election case, and it looks very unlikely that the Trump administration is going to prevail in this early stage of the litigation. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/just-...

I hope that a defeat of Flavio Bolsonaro and Darline Graham drives a stake through the heart of nepo-politics, leaving Don Jr. worried and sad.

Billionaires want you to believe taxing their extreme wealth is too radical and that it can’t be done. Baloney. Economist Gabriel Zucman debunks their lies. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNg2Uea6uUs

John Roberts has spent his entire career trying to kill the Voting Rights Act. Now his Republican-appointed majority is dusting off arguments once used to destroy Reconstruction to roll back the gains made during the civil rights era.

It’s the second-most used material on Earth. It’s an environmental disaster. And it’s falling apart all around us. Meet concrete.

has mmfa or someone like that compiled a comparison of airtime and front page headlines given to hunter biden vs jared kushner, given that kushner's alleged corruption is about 1000x larger, you would expect it to receive more coverage than Hunter's, right?

It's weird how Barack Obama can get through an entire speech without blurting out weird noises, lying, or admiring other men's backsides.

Things Melania Trump Definitely Did Negotiated a ceasefire between Russia & Ukraine Invented Post-Its Solved The Riemann Hypothesis Kayaked from LA to Capetown, South Africa Translated Proust into five languages she never speaks Got a degree in architecture Unlocked her bedroom door at night

After the recent Trump rallies, it's a novelty to see a president able to fill a venue again.

He's just letting his racist freak flag fly now. In the past he only said this in private.

Talarico for Texas, in other words, is a messaging machine. His ability to efficiently frame an argument and deliver it to an audience is why he is leading the scandal-plagued Republican attorney general Ken Paxton in the polls (the plague of scandals has also helped).

This chart about data center construction blew my mind. Watch.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

I knew this man was in there somewhere. Praise be

The Supreme Court’s decision decimating the Voting Rights Act threatens to return the country to a pre-1965 America, when white supremacy was the law of the land, and Congress contained no Black members from the South. “This has sent us back, in my view, over 60 years.”

Barack Obama doesn't need to lie about an uncle inventing radar to make us think he comes from a more intelligent family than Donald Trump's. He just needs to open his mouth and speak a complete sentence.

There's never been a better example of "Fool's Gold."

In 2024, a Russian disinformation network spread rumors about the then-vice presidential Democratic candidate Tim Walz assaulting a student while he was a teacher. Fast forward two years, and the same network spread similar rumours about James Talarico before midterms.

What's interesting about these obviously White Supremacist remarks is that both Donald Trump and his Klan-supporting father Fred are on record claiming that the Trump family is originally from Sweden. It wasn't. It was from Germany. But I guess Germany wasn't white, blond, and blue-eyed enough.

Oh, honey . . . your own mother shipped you off to a reform school (with cute little military costumes) after you were caught throwing rocks into a baby carriage and she realized you were too twisted to deal with.

Musk’s influence in the midterms is unparalleled, and there’s a lot that could happen in the waning days of this election.

This is such a stupid thing to say. Because if it were true, we wouldn't need a Constitution and Bill of Rights written by humans. And every country would have had the same Constitution and Bill of Rights from the beginning of time.

There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.

The military wouldn’t use it because it looked like torture. Border Patrol is going to try it anyway. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

the dEmocrATs DoN'T HAvE ANY monEY

the democrats have plenty of money. hundreds of millions. its not just waiting on tom steyer. its a disinterest in playing the game AT ALL.

Democrats have done an excellent job of convincing their base that they are hopelessly outraised by gop and it’s just not true

New SEC filings show that Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to pay California’s billionaire tax without losing control of Meta. So billionaires can afford to pay the tax? And they won't lose control of their companies or flee the state? Don’t fall for billionaires’ propaganda. Vote YES on Prop 40.

Seems like a good time to mention that we had to do layoffs at the Barbed Wire a few months ago because we were already operating on a shoestring budget and promised funding fell through. (Read: donor backed out.)

Gas is still more than $4.00 a gallon on average in the US, yet our president is posting about...this.

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

We asserted a common law and First Amendment right to the immediate release of Jack Smith's Mar-a-Lago report. It's a good argument but we're having a *lot* of trouble getting the Eleventh Circuit to schedule argument, even though it granted an expedited appeal. I've never seen anything like this.

This is capitalist propaganda. Billionaires don't care about employees; they care about profits. Which is why they are far more likely to use cash on hand to buy back stock than hire more employees or give the employees already there a raise. This is just "Trickle Down Economics" in corporate drag.

Protesters carrying pink flamingos turned that fight into the “Flamingo Revolution.” Students have since joined them, demanding better education, opportunities, and accountability. Their message is simple: “Albania is not for sale.”

Then fencing went up, restricting access to the sea. Think about that. Families fighting for their land and coastline while politically connected investors get welcomed with open arms.

Albanians have spent months fighting a luxury resort tied to Jared Kushner. Now that anger has grown into a much larger revolt against corruption and a government they say stopped listening.

This is the racism publications like the New York Times constantly edits out
