The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

What a well-done job chronicling record high Republican corruption! It's a good week to share it. www.corruptionland.org

Hero.

A patriot speaks out on behalf of all of us.

It’s going to be interesting to watch many Americans come to terms with the fact that Netanyahu is not The Only Problem

What a game!

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Wow.

Impeach Hegseth.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I don't think I ever watched an episode of Star Trek (science fiction isn't my thing), but I thought casting a Russian while the Cold War was still raging, to make the point that humans would get along better in the future, was a lovely touch.

In Michigan, Musk paid for calls targeting Muslims that painted Democrats as pro-Israel, and also paid for calls targeting Jews that painted Democrats as pro-Hamas.

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

Good one!

Opinion | Damaging constitutional amendment is on Nov. 3 midterm ballot captimes.com/opinion... #wipolitics #wigov

So well done!

Republicans are polluter protectors, as well as pedophile protectors. Vote them all out.

Enviable clarity from Der Spiegel: “It would be an understatement to call this year’s midterms in the United States ‘crucial.’ A blue wave could slow Trump’s worst impulses. A renewed White House effort to contest the results could further erode US democracy.”

Here's how private equity killed your local mall.

Why do they do that all the time?

Don’t fall for the sneaky language: Why you should vote NO on Question 3 This constitutional amendment question and its intentionally confusing language makes it seem like it’s anti-discrimination, but the devil is in the details. www.therecombobulati... #wipolitics #wigov

Watch this 👀

Great news that Starlink will take a business hit for helping Russia against Ukraine. But there should be more pushback from the business community. #BoycottTesla

He’s Exhibit A on why billionaire wealth should be taxed, why we have to get big money out of politics, why billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to buy up major media, and why our government shouldn’t give them huge military contracts.

Senator Elizabeth Warren Is Correct.......

Dems play the expectations game by, e.g., saying private polls are closer than public ones. What they should say (because it's true) is that they're up against aggressive cheating by the richest, most powerful people in the world, and winning in spite of it. 🧵 www.offmessage.net/p/donald-tru...

Anthony Scaramucci: “I'll stipulate that Trump is an agent of Putin.”

Bari Weiss is such a horrible person!

New documentary Elon Musk doesn't want you to see. The new documentary "Musk," directed by Alex Gibney, tries to take stock of this gigantic, troubled figure, chronicling everything from his innovations to embrace of far right politics. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

embracing guffawing chud dipshit podcasters was a lot more fun when their political program hadn't jacked up the price of gas by 60%. it turns out Donald Trump is a fucking moron who ruins everything he touches in the real world, who knew www.axios.com/2026/10/20/j...

Israeli settlers are the KKK of Israel. They're vicious, bigoted, thugs with police and military backing. Is this what Jewish Holocaust survivors wanted?!? It's good to see more Jewish people oppose - instead of defaming Goys as Antisemitic for opposing mass slaughter if civilians.

Republicans are morally depraved and sick in the head.

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...

Spot on. Tesla sales have tanked, the cybertruck was a massive failure worse than the Edsel, Tesla cars are dangerous and cause accidents and he fails to deliver on his promises. The stock price makes no damn sense. #TeslaTakedown

Absentee voting starts today in Wisconsin. Let's vote early to send a message and to avoid Republican interference. Make your plan to vote, take someone else, and let's get it done! And then get more people to vote! Let's do this! 💪

david axelrod busy taking a democrat to task for civility

the natural, automatic reaction anytime a Republican candidate for office says or does anything whatsoever: "jesus CHRIST what a loathsome prick"

Elon Musk says Italians should stay in Italy and the Japanese in Japan. Then why is this South African in America?

That's right! Call out Musk's role in Republican campaigns! He and other billionaires are trying to buy Congress.

WTF

Good for Talarico. As I said a few days ago, the Democrats need to run against Musk. Everyone with a brain knows that he’s the enemy.

I set out for a career in renewable energy way back in 1982 after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan and we were told we needed the draft to defend our oil supplies. RE was and is the intersection of environmental protection and opposition to war. How many oil wars since then?

Aw, man, this is beautiful. And so well done. We have candidates with courage and political chops. YES!

Together with other scientists I’m suing the 🇺🇸 US National Institutes of Health for violating our 1st Amendment rights & censoring our health science. I’m ready to shine a light on the darkest days. Buckle up, read on. This gets pretty wild… THREAD

Great job by Abdul El-Sayed! And the questioner is Tommy Teepell, a former Senate staffer to Josh Hawley, whose father is a big Republican donor. Apparently, also, a Christian Nationalist who wants the government to carry out his extremist version of Christianity.

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.
