Pete Hoekstra is blaming Canada for the upcoming losses in Michigan and Maine. C'mon peeps, we can do better than that. Let's take down a dozen MAGA states.

Of course they are.

Astute observation. A serial rapist not only shouldn’t be clutching the levers of power, he shouldn’t be free to roam the streets.

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar, with degrees from the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Columbia. 84% of Rhodes Scholars are Democrats or Independents, compared with just 14% Republicans. It’ll be great having Abdul in the Senate.

Trump claims Canada is willing to give him “anything” to end his trade war! Really? No deal has been announced, and Carney’s government says Canada’s interests must be respected. Trump doesn’t get to dictate Canada’s future. #CanadaStrong #USDemocracy

Voting is more than a civic responsibility. It’s an opportunity to have a voice in decisions that affect our healthcare, financial security, rights, and daily lives. It’s important to recognize the weight of those consequences, especially for those of us who will experience them firsthand.

🇧🇷🇺🇦 Zelensky: The election campaign in Brazil was intense. For us in Ukraine, it is important that Brazil remains active in international affairs and continues to contribute to the effective protection of human rights, the rights of peoples, and the rights of states.

Fun Fact: Teachers often have a cap on school supplies they purchase themselves for tax deductions. In my state they can only deduct 250 dollars, a sum most teachers blow past. But if you buy a yacht and hold one "business" meeting per year you can deduct it from your taxes as a business expense.

Yes, this. But also, importantly, Popular Mobilization. As opposed to sending State Police to protect ICE right-wing death squads against protesters.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

I think it's simpler than that. The GOP is 95% owned and controlled by Russia. Musk is a Republican and is just following Russia's orders.

1/ Russian warbloggers are applauding Elon Musk for being sympathetic to Russia. They suggest that he crippled Ukraine's Starlink/Starshield connection for fear of Russian retaliation, dislike of the Ukrainians, and a desire to make Ukraine pay more for using it. ⬇️

The Kremlin is already “hoping” that the new power in Serbia “will understand how beneficial cooperation with Russia is.” Serbia is still the only EU candidate country that has not imposed sanctions on Russia.

Precisely! I recently listened to an interview with Gordon Campbell, and it was pretty much a 25-minute infomercial for Lorne Doerkson. Gordon Campbell, certainly wasn't over 90 years ago...

It would be nice if news headlines/reports stopped saying “BC Conservatives win first majority in a century” when the BC Liberals and Socreds won plenty of majorities and were, you know, conservative.

Follow the money. Most of that $30 billion (really 46 at this point) goes to defense contractors who kick a percentage of it back to republican politicians

Trump has exempted 202 facilities in 39 states and Puerto Rico from clean-air regulations that were going into effect, including some of the worst industrial polluters. About 3.3 million people live near such a facility. Eric Lipton @maxinejoselow.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

nytimes.comHow Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free PassThe president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

Not a day goes by without the russians committing horrific war crimes. Yesterday, they attacked public transport in Kherson with a drone, injuring six civilians, including three women aged 63, 67 and 21, and three men aged 52, 67 and 68. The 67-year-old man later died from his injuries in hospital.
