News organizations carrying water for Republican fluff while suppressing genuinely newsworthy stories that could help Democrats is... I'm just going to say this: It's corrupt. There's no excuse for it. It's rotten, decaying, stinking of cronyism and overly close ties to a partisan machine.

It would be unfair to remind voters the all of the Republican candidates are completely in thrall to a man credibly accused of multiple rapes and found liable by a jury for sexual assault. You can see the conundrum for the press.

Evan Urquhart@evanurquhart.bsky.social

The one defense I can think of for downplaying shocking new rape allegations against the president from redacted portions of the Epstein Files is that it's an attempt to swing the midterms, and journalists shouldn't let themselves be used that way. So what's the Cheescake Factory controversy, then?

ZenLoon reposted

The NYT devoting two pieces to the Cheesecake Factory "controversy" and none to the latest rape allegations against POTUS is a good reminder that there is no attack against Obama bad faith enough that the press doesn't amplify it, while with Trump when the charges are horrendous, caution abounds.

I am Clayton County, Georgia and have been talking to older Black voters outside a polling place and ahead of this Obama rally and can confirm: older Black voters to a tee are FURIOUS about the Supreme Court killing the Voting Rights Act. This is the home of John Lewis and MLK.

One thing I've been noodling on is why is the Dem wave seemingly way bigger in the south than the upper midwest and the answer I keep coming back to is that Black voters are fucking pissed about redistricting and the end of the VRA.

An American hero. Dolores Huerta spent more years on this planet fighting for justice and human dignity than most of us will be alive. Until the very end, she continued to stand up and speak out for a better world. She was indefatigable. Let's finish the work she started. May she rest in peace.

Also - this guy was not some random software bro who had no idea about laws. He is a Harvard law grad. They were just high enough on their own supply that they felt the rules did not apply.

Ignore the polls. Do not become complacent. Do not give in. Vote early — and get your friends and family to vote. Do not let Elon, Big Tech, Big Oil, AI, and the billionaire class buy this election. We outnumber them — and we're the only ones that can put an end to this nightmare.

His opponent, Caitlin Rourk, said she thinks he’s downplaying his Musk and AI industry connections because he doesn’t want constituents to focus on that amid a huge data center & tech backlash, and serious concerns about the impact of Terafab on Texans living next to it in district 10.

If you believe Melania Trump negotiated a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, you're the reason "DO NOT EAT" labels are put on soap. If you believe Donald Trump is going to give you a check for $5,000 if Republicans win, you're the reason irons have "NEVER IRON CLOTHES WHILE BEING WORN" warnings.

At this point, no-one really believes these cases will go anywhere (thank God). This makes it all the more galling that taxpayer resources are being used to baselessly harass the President's enemies. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

The thing is Democrats really don’t need to even talk about impeachment right now, just promising regime accountability and consequences would be a fine campaign message.

Trump: "He said, 'Why does he keep calling me Muhammed? I said, you know why? Because I'm president of the United States. I can call you whatever the hell I want."

I voted for her too and I think much of the criticism is unfair considering all of the headwinds she faced, which is why I don't understand what she's trying to do here. I can only guess there's some consultant out there saying moderates must be assured the party isn't swinging too radical.

The US government poured all its resources into fabricating evidence that day laborer Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a criminal (all because he embarrassed the despot) even as it now rolls out the red carpet for an actual criminal who happens to be an ally of Trump

Donald Trump is a court-adjudicated r*pist. This is not speculation. It is not conjecture. It’s not a Left-Wing talking point. This is documented, established fact. It was unequivocally declared by a judge. It has been repeatedly upheld in the courts... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

I'm not sure what I find more distressing a week before the election, cynics who are already writing off a Democratic majority doing the hard work to stem the rising fascism, or those Democrats preemptively confirming that the cynics are absolutely correct.

Today we learned that it was a 28-year-old DOGE operative who gutted USAID, and HR had no record of him working there. Totally normal stuff.

So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too

Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."
