Republicans have no answers for how this Illegal war in Iran is helping the American people. There are real issues at stake here that they should be focusing on, but they just won't.

Off the charts Trump family corruption. Kushner got Billions of foreign funds, while spearheading foreign policy. And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn

BREAKING: Preliminary injunction granted in the golf course case by Judge Reyes! The threat to close & destroy this historic property is the latest act of Trump corruption that the courts have responded to Kudos to our wonderful clients & cocounsel @democracyforward.org & Lowell & Associates

COVID under Biden and the associated supply chain problems weren't discretionary but Trump's war with Iran was completely discretionary, starting with the cancellation of the JCPOA.

Me: "You've said 'because of the war' maybe 7 times..." Ex-Trump adviser: "Because it spiked prices..." Me: "But you're treating the war like it's a natural disaster... like it fell from the sky. The war was started by your guy, deliberately, a war of choice." Full: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLJV...

ALERT: Federal judge finds Maureen Comey was unlawfully fired and must be reinstated with backpay to her position in Justice Dept Judge: "Comey’s removal was not authorized by any statute; to the contrary, it violated (civil service law)" Here's the ruling: www.nysd.uscourts.gov/sites/defaul...

Donald Trump and his Republican party have lied time and time again. They lied about lowering grocery prices, they lied about nuclear weapons in Iran, they lied about halting forever wars in the Middle East. Lies and deceit are all we can expect.

My exchange with a former top Trump adviser who says it is totally "inappropriate" & "irresponsible" to use the word fascist when talking about Trump. Then I reminded him of his own use of the word. Watch/enjoy/share: (Full 'Head to Head' show with Steve Cortes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLJV...)

So apparently the scumbag who made Vivek’s disgusting ad against Amy Acton is married to prolific liar Tricia McLaughlin, who falsely attacked Alex Pretti and Renee Good after they were murdered by ICE. Here’s a video of me calling her a goddamn liar to her face ⬇️

Come think with us! Nerve Center is live RIGHT NOW. https://bit.ly/3TRmo3N

You know what doesn’t matter? What Kamala Harris said on a campaign stop. You know what does? Watching Republicans pull money from competitive races in order to protect what should be easy wins & seeing Trump forced to go to deep-red territory. That’s what tells you something about the midterms.

MINNESOTA: “I don’t think about myself. The youth are the most innocent. Anything you can do to save them is worth it.” ♥️ Endless stories attack the MN Somali-American community— but Ebro Ahmed🦸🏽‍♂️saves a bus 🚌 full of kids and stories mostly leave out that he’s Somali? 🤔

Awesome fun

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's comms director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped (published Oct. 2025):

Hey folks, I'll be on C-SPAN over the next hour talking about the midterms and taking your calls. Come join us!

🔥 “Answer the question, Tommy — I think you’re the one who needs to read the constitution, not me.” @abdulelsayed.bsky.social skillfully handles a bigoted Islamophobic heckler and exposes him as the true religious zealot in the room.

Vote Mess With Texas!

Nidal Hasan will be the second public execution carried out under Trump's second term. The United States of America was the first.

A new Ukrainian interceptor drone, developed jointly by Pavlo Yelizarov, founder of the highly effective drone unit Lasar's Group and former deputy commander of the Ukrainian Air Force (was responsible for developing short-range air defense), along with Ukrainian military and engineers,

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

If Kid Rock fears his grandkids fighting a civil war over religion, he should defend separation of church and state instead of fearmongering about Muslims. The answer to religious extremism isn’t Christian nationalism. It’s secular government that protects us all.

Poland’s Interior Ministry has reported a possible assassination plot targeting Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. A meeting of the country’s security officials is scheduled for today.

I really *want* Boulder, CO to win its SCOTUS argument against Suncor and Exxon over climate change. But the Supreme Court will never let that happen. In part because Boulder’s glorious, RIGHTEOUS argument… is also bullshit, legally speaking. My latest in @thenation.com

@leahlitman.bsky.social on Alito recusal: Vergogna occasionally still works.

Holy shit.

@saletan.bsky.social makes the case against Trump and looks at evidence Jack Smith brought up in a deposition last year: “  If you think that Trump believed the election was stolen…DOJ officials told him that they didn't believe it was stolen…He knew he was telling them to lie.”

In a win for digital rights, a federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction blocking Utah’s draconian anti-VPN age verification law. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Excellent interview.

Seconded and posted. Everyone else get aboard and let it fly.

Kaja Kallas on the US inviting Putin to the G20 summit in Miami: "It was very hard to hear. Considering that even a few days ago, there were Russian intelligence officers charged for murders of Americans on American soil.

I will write this more in days ahead. But it is really important to know that (on Xitter) Stephen Miller is trying to stave off being blamed for the catastrophe that is now predicted to happen to the GOP. Frantically. [ahem] I'd like to prevent this from happening.

🧵Lauren Boebert had sex with three of her staffers. Two of them were women. Her sex partners were Clarisse Navarro, Jeffrey Small and Raven Finnegan. Navarro's husband Jace Ratzlaff: "I assumed this would eventually surface. I’ll have no further comment on this topic.”

@crampell.bsky.social fact-checks Bill Pulte’s claim that Trump made new homes 30% cheaper, and explains why a housing crash that large would be more like an economic disaster than a victory.

it's so stupid, and yet I love it

"The stock market is absolutely hitched to this AI boom right now," says @eamonjavers.bsky.social. "If the AI bubble bursts, you're going to see huge collateral damage throughout the financial markets, and a lot of Americans are going to feel that."

BREAKING: We won! And we get discovery into this crazy demolition threat to boot. Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social and to my colleagues at DDF and WLG. Formal statement to follow.

This nightmare for education loan recipients makes me think of the MO of private equity firms—getting the benefit of cash while someone else is saddled with crippling loan debt. www.npr.org/2026/09/16/n...

Maxine Waters is not putting up with Bessent's filibustering

You have until mid October to request a mail in ballot in Florida if you want to vote by mail. After that you need to plan to vote in person instead. Chop chop. Do it today while you are thinking about it. 📝📬🗳️
