“Oh, he won’t really do THAT”

As promised @maddow.bsky.social

Alan Shore — brilliantly played by one of my favourite Actors, JAMES SPADER — takes apart Scientology in BOSTON LEGAL (2008)

We saw reports of "machines switching votes" in TN & TX. These are typically real issues — a calibration problem w/ older touchscreen machines — but not intentional efforts to rig the vote. Always good for voters to check that their vote is being recorded correctly. www.cip.uw.edu/2026/10/22/e...

Obviously, Obama isn't as down-to-earth as the guy telling you that high gas prices are a small price to pay to make the oil companies rich.

Never believe anything anyone in the Trump Administration says. Never. Not anyone.

Keep your holey socks people. The law is a comin!

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?

I hope it’s entirely wasted

Wow... "Armed and in uniform, federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors in several states to ask residents about their immigration status — and to inquire if they have registered to vote or cast votes in past elections, a CBS News Investigation has found."

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. When Trump touts the stock market as a sign of a good economy, remember who is benefiting the most.

This is an incredibly important point. According to both Acton and her mother, their last meeting was after Acton testified against her stepfather in court. Her mother fled the state with her stepfather and they’ve had no contact since. Acton’s mother is raging against a 12 year old abuse victim.

Incentivizing Trump voters to call in their suspicions about about black and brown people? What's the worst that could happen?

just QTing this for easier location when people tell me Dems didn't run against Musk

But Crawford is in trouble for giving the game away- as Bari Weiss at Ellison's CBS has been systematically promoting MAGA conspiracy stories about Talarico and El-Sayed non-existent ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. All part of oligarch intervention in our elections. bsky.app/profile/just...

Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.

Three weeks before Election Day, Trump’s DOJ is trying to stop California from counting ballots based on unproven claims about noncitizen voters. Is the real goal to win in court—or to lay the groundwork for claiming another stolen election? My analysis: joycevance.substack.com/p/doj-v-cali...

Wow this is quite impressive.

👇 spread this news far and wide

I don't think most Americans understand yet what a global laggard the USA is turning into here. Media instead told us that electric vehicles were a fad that didn't work.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Carl Quintanilla: Real average hourly earnings down 0.7% on the month, that's the sixth straight month... Jim Cramer: Look, rich people are making a lot of money. God, I sound like Marx. I really don't want to sound like Marx. It's just, look at the data.

Yes, absolutely. For example, if in the next few weeks, Trump sends ICE officers to polls, you know what you do? You go anyway, you throw them a middle finger, and you walk into the ballot box and don't let them intimidate you. What you don't do is despair and stay home.

you quite simply love to see it

there's a lot going on right now, but the ability to buy elections in order to stay out of prison is on the ballot whether you realize it or not

Someone did some most excellent debate prep. Impressive

Holy shit.

Over a dozen states have important voter registration deadlines today. Check your registration and make a plan to vote at IWillVote.com. Then ask friends and neighbors to do the same.

Bingo. Even if they flip the Senate AND scrap the filibuster, Trump can veto anything he wants until noon on 1/20/29. Edit: Yes, they should pass positive policy stuff anyway, I just meant that people need to understand that it's possible NONE of it will actually be implemented due to his veto.

Every time one Democrat does something bad it's "the Democrats" and every time a Democrat does something good it's "finally one Democrat who gets it." "The Democrats" is one of the most annoyingly ill-used verbal tics across the entire spectrum of hellsites.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you ignore that Dems voted 206-2 & 47-0 against the trans athlete bill & attribute a post by some rando as the position of the Democratic Party you are a fucking dishonest hack

WAPO is reporting that at least four more service members have died in the war in Iran than DOD is publicly acknowledging. CNN is reporting that the US almost seized a Chinese vessel because AI incorrectly identified it as containing Iranian nuclear material. Clown show.

the price of oil surging means you can burn your shein clothes, extract the oil, and make more money than you paid

footage is making the rounds on Facebook of a canvasser wearing a Stronger Maine shirt (a super PAC that supports Susan Collins) stealing a package yesterday

President Trump weighs whether to annihilate either Iran or the Kennedy Center.

🚨NEWS: So this is totally crazy. A Republican candidate in Texas is sending texts that say "Attachment: $5,000 Check … Pres. Trump just authorized it," and a link to the "portal" to get the money goes to a fundraising page for him to pay off a personal loan he made to the campaign!

Starting in 2027 Dems need to respond to almost everything w some version of “why should I answer this question when you never asked Trump this question?”

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president we've ever had, and it's not even close.
