Enough said.

Governor Ned Lamont and Sen. Ryan Fazio will participate in a live, prime-time gubernatorial debate televised on WTNH and co-sponsored by the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities at Mohegan Sun at 7:00 P.M.

Perfect

…at first the impacts will gradually ramp up, then as we get deeper into fall and winter this parade of fronts and #storms will become more frequent and intense. #ElNino

And so it begins… El Niño Powered Pacific Jet is ramping up! Storms will stretch from #California to #Texas to eventually #Florida over the next week to 10 days. The SW will get hit hard again this weekend. For Florida…

Liquor store owners and the beverage industry have made their opinions known. Now DEM wants the public to weigh in on a report recommending a bottle bill. bit.ly/4iq3YPN

He may want to consider pardoning the complicit assholes who make his AI slop for him. In 2029 we'll be coming for them too.

More open racism from official Trump regime accounts

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

Yup, & RFK Jr lied when he said the Covid vaccine was "the deadliest vaccine in history" (in fact it saved tens of millions of lives pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...) & he spewed racist, anti-semitic BS when he said Covid-19 may have been engineered to reduce risks to Jews & Chinese people

It's almost time. You have the power to make a choice for America. youtu.be/ub9bkPRfU_w

In 2020, Ken Paxton’s office spent more than 22,000 hours on voter fraud cases. The result was 16 prosecutions. “That’s 16 cases in a state of 17 million registered voters,” Marc Elias says. The rules for voting keep changing. Follow us so nothing catches you off guard.

Are we supposed to believe that Scott Bessett always eats at Cheesecake Factory and he always orders a french toast cheesebuger?🤣🤣🤣

Fire departments. All those darn pesky paramedics hanging out on the government dime just waiting to come pound on your chest when you're dead, without even first checking to see if you're a US citizen. Frightening.

And who needs algebra. Or astronomy to the point of the first working observatories. Or the entire foundational conception of modern medicine and hospitalization. Or brewed coffee. Coffee alone is entirely enough to justify a civilization. Nothing justifies this shitpiece in our government.

New England has enjoyed a very nice stretch of quiet, mainly sunny and basically quintessential October weather for a couple weeks. The other shoe will drop eventually, and this may occur heading into November. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx newenglandstormcenter.substack.com/p/when-will-...

Election officials in Alaska are asking a federal judge to "immediately" dismiss the Trump DOJ's lawsuit seeking to block the Senate results, claiming it has "no legal basis." "[T]he United States lacks authority to intervene in state elections at all, much less in support of a favored candidate."

🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social: “Obama lives rent-free in Trump’s mind— everyone knows the decor in the Cheesecake Factory is gawdy… When Trump says ‘WE’ are making so much money on oil, the ‘WE’ he’s talking about is HIM.”

The medical community needs to do some serious introspection and acknowledge our role in allowing RFK to rise to power.

Pete Hegseth was confirmed 51–50 on a JD Vance tiebreaker. One more Republican with a spine could have stopped him. Hakeem Jeffries can vow to "run him out of town," but the time for that was before Hegseth openly turned Iran into a holy war. Remember that in the coming weeks.

The Trump/Republican agenda, in a headline. www.cnn.com/2026/10/27/e...

The Department of Justice on Wednesday told Washington state officials to segregate ballots from 400 people who it claimed were noncitizens registered to vote.

nymag.com/intelligence... Their fascism efforts are only exceeded by their gross incompetence. This is what happens when DOJ takes its orders directly from a demented psychopath serving as our POTUS who's hell bent on destroying our democracy to further his deranged impulses & corruption.

The lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft that @ecorinews.bsky.social has joined, alleges "defendants systematically and willfully stole copyrighted news articles produced by local publications [and] used that content to train and build commercial AI products...without permission or compensation."

In @ecorinews.bsky.social's newsletter, publisher Jo Detz announces joining a lawsuit vs. OpenAI & Microsoft for "essentially stealing our work." She writes: "it feels good to be standing with others against a trillion-dollar industry that shows little care for the work of writers and artists."

FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

this was the (very short) bit I think Imogen is referring to. I know @cvcev.bsky.social have been tirelessly raising this issue, but so many people still have too little understanding that there many people who don't have robust immune responses to Covid and need to stay very cautious.

This is it MAHA is entirely comfortable with RFK Jr’s extreme racism & anti-immigrant hatred & entirely comfortable with RFK Jr’s collaboration with ICE—who are kidnapping & torturing kids—because their dear leader says he will go after food dyes, and MAHA thinks this matters above all else 😢
