HHS wants a new Medicare code that pays doctors extra only when they attribute a patient’s symptoms to a vaccine. Vaccine critics say doctors are paid to push vaccines. We aren’t. Under this code, we’d be paid to blame them. My new piece in @cidrap.bsky.social: www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

Good news: Maurene Comey is back at SDNY after a judge ruled her firing unlawful Who trusts a case if the prosecutor’s job hangs on pleasing the president? Rules keep the answer simple, & today they protected more than one person -TN

The Democrats’ focus on affordability seems to be a winning strategy. But we mustn’t lose sight of the moral squalor at the core of the Trump regime and the necessity of ending it. My latest for The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/oct/23/trump-moral-squalor

A win! Another defeat for Trump’s DOJ. A federal judge ruled that prosecutor Maurene Comey was illegally fired and ordered retroactive reinstatement and backpay through December 20, 2025.

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

West Virginia’s Republican Attorney General JB McCuskey is demanding a decade of records from environmental groups, including their internal communications and statements about climate change. Now West Virginia Rivers Coalition and 350. org are suing,

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

If we’re willing to organize and mobilize, if we’re willing to turn out in big numbers in Ohio and across this country, if we’re willing to vote for change and vote for Democrats up and down the ballot, then this election might just mark the moment this country began moving in a better direction.

Ohio, let's do what we can to elect @amyactonoh.bsky.social as your next Governor and @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social as your next U.S. Senator! They’ve dedicated their lives to fighting on behalf of all Ohioans.

This month, 18 women graduated from the Northwestern Prison Education Program, marking the first time incarcerated women students in the U.S. have earned a bachelor’s degree from a top 10 university.

This is absolutely horrible! A nonverbal student with special needs was walking to Santa Maria High School when ICE agents tackled him, restrained him, and left him with a broken wrist requiring surgery, according to witnesses and school officials.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

BREAKING: We're challenging the DOJ’s attempt to preemptively block Alaska from certifying their election results if President Trump’s preferred candidate doesn't win.   The Trump administration doesn't get to reject election results it doesn't like.

@drneilstone.bsky.social

NEW: The DOJ sued to block certification of the results in Alaska's Senate race if a Democrat wins. Experts are already saying its argument "is one of the worst ones" seen — and that's saying a lot for a department that has gone 0-26 in its voter data effort. https://demdock.com/3WJRBXm

Trump has pocketed billions of dollars from crypto schemes as he deregulated the industry. He's also pocketing millions of dollars buying stock in corporations that he's actively helping. Wondering why he doesn't care about affordability? It's because he's doing better than ever.
