BREAKING: We're asking the Office of Special Counsel & State Dept IG to investigate reports that diplomats' promotions hinge on how they vote & who they donate to If true, that's a political loyalty test & the law bars it @democracydefendersfund.org complaint 👇

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

Under Bari Weiss' direction, CBS News falsifies Angie Nixon's response to a simple question about Cuba. It's not the old CBS News.

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

Voted today! Fuck Republicans.

The fact that Trump keeps claiming voter fraud in the 2026 midterms before a single vote has been counted is wild to me. Reminds me of how he won all seven swing states in 2024. If you and I were planning to cheat, we’d say, “Let’s do five, not seven. It’ll seem more believable.”

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

No wonder he doesn't "give a damn" if you're paying more at the pump. HE is making a fortune.

The Trump administration's $25bn Polar LNG project on Alaska's North Slope will be turned over to a Kremlin proxy, the Financial Times and New York Times report, quoting former Exxon executives. For Alaska voters, this is the big October surprise as they head for the polls.

The central issue in the US election and elections worldwide is corruption writ large-a system that only works to serve the rich at the expense of everyone else, a system in which politicians and the rich are in bed together and yet screwing the rest of us. Affordability and corruption are the same.

Trump's assistant, Natalie Harp & the KC CEO swapped 11 texts the day the board voted to close it Lots of chatter about a building he wants "ripped down." Now he claims privilege?? @democracydefendersaction.org & @washlitgroup.bsky.social are in court for @repbeatty.bsky.social to get them👇 -TN

"Relative to the disgusting Acton ad, most of these policy choices have gotten scant attention. But they all deliver the same closing message for the midterms: It was never about helping the kids." Let @crampell.bsky.social tell you what they are:

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

This is the terror our communities are experiencing. #waleg and the Governor are not doing enough to protect our neighbors. The mask ban was such a waste of legislation. Stop sharing data with the Feds!

El-Sayed: "My name and my faith are not the reason you can't afford your gas. My name and my faith are not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name and my faith are not the reason you can't see a doctor."

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.

It can’t be understated as to how brilliant it was for President Zelenskyy and Ukraine to bomb Putin’s Russian data center bot farms right before the US midterms as well as how much damage that will do to propaganda messaging for fascist republicans going forward. A beautiful day for democracy.

It’s peak Trumpism when Republicans blow up a school full of Iranian Muslim girls and then call an American politician a terrorist because he’s Muslim.

An op-ed appears over the name of Mitch McConnell in today's WSJ warning Trump over his concessions to Russia. No one thinks McConnell actually wrote this piece. It's a mystery who did. Maybe WSJ will tell us some day. www.wsj.com/opinion/codd...

To all you seniors on fixed incomes who disproportionately voted for Trump thinking he’d protect your healthcare interests. I will not lie to you about your chances of surviving his negligent abandonment but, you have my sympathies.
