Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead

We’re going out on a limb and guessing @justinjpearson.bsky.social opponent Brent Taylor would be a “NO” vote on releasing the Epstein files. #TN9 😕

The parents of Alex Pretti, a US citizen shot and killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis in January, are accusing the Department of Justice of violating their rights under a federal victims’ rights law, as they demand transparency and justice in their son’s death. www.cnn.com/2026/10/26/u...

“The Brazilian newspaper Folha de S Paulo reported that allies in the Bolsonaro family’s inner circle had been told that he had indeed left for Argentina and intended to travel from there to the US.”

The election in Israel is today, and Gov Hochul makes an important distinction here: Supporting Israel doesn’t mean blindly defending its government. Netanyahu’s leadership has deepened divisions, prolonged suffering, and undermined the prospects for lasting peace.

The coverage has been disgraceful. Good on @marisakabas.bsky.social for holding the NYT accountable.

It was great talking to @milestaylor.bsky.social for my Substack happy hour this past weekend about his new documentary! Our democracy is NOT for sale. Watch and share (widely!) this documentary before you vote: CORRUPTIONLAND.org

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

🚨 FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA VOTERS! More than 7K voters had their registrations flagged over questions about their residential addresses, & the ACLU is raising serious concerns about errors. Check your voter status NOW. If it says “Challenged,” contact Fulton County Elections.

All other criticisms aside here, it’s insane because there’s one senate seat they can’t afford to lose the whole party is smearing 500 million people.

A lovely appreciation of Ann Hornaday from @tyburr.bsky.social this morning. Worth reading for a fuller glimpse of her as a critic and human being: www.tyburrswatchlist.com/ann-hornaday...

So far, remarkably high turnout by young Black voters in Georgia. Eye-popping chart.

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

Robert F. Kennedy Sr. spent his time in government fighting *against* racist bigots who said these exact same things, except their rants were against “Africans”

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald is still doing the heavy lifting on keeping the story alive. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

WATCH: A defense contractor CEO and his close associates donated nearly $900,000 to dozens of politicians and got over $40 million a year in government funding. He told the FBI that Sen. Susan Collins was his most important patron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

Both false and racist

Not on the New York Times home page apparently, but it is on the People home page.

Big Brother is watching, but now we can watch Big Brother right back. I love that MapQuest is flipping the script. Apple Maps, where you at?!

Wow!

🚨BREAKING: A federal appeals court rejected DOJ's extraordinary request to bypass the district court in its effort to bar California from counting the ballots of around 20,000 people the Trump administration alleges are “likely” noncitizens. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Sherrod Brown greets FIRED UP overflow crowd in Dayton 👏👏

I dont know if it's because they love republicans and want them to win but holy crap is this an embarrassment. the equivalent of reckless disregard in terms of journalism fuck ups. Just the simplest damn googling.

One man at a Jefferson County commission meeting this month said money budgeted for a now-ended contract with Flock should instead go to hiring another sheriff’s deputy. “That’s where we should have our money going. Actual humans solving actual crimes.”

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

From 2025: Chilling story of FBI agent targeted by FBI/DOJ for investigating Russian influence in MAGA. Fire everyone in the FBI/DOJ and start again. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

I guess he doesn’t disagree about the Saddam Hussein part?

Farmers across America are on track to spend an extra $2.4 billion on diesel alone this year, thanks to Trump’s unconstitutional war with Iran. Just plain wrong—one of the many reasons I’m working to rein in this illegal war.
