Michigan is one of America's easiest states to vote in, after being one of the worst. And Jocelyn Benson led us there. Proud to soon have a governor who'd crawl across the Mackinac Bridge covered in broken glass to protect my vote.

The White House put an AI video of Hillary, Chuck, Hakeem, Kamala, and Ilan jamming out to The Gap Band’s “Outstanding” like a Tiny Desk concert and described Democrats as “washed up,” but damn they never looked cooler. Total self-own.

See? There is no secret “defeat fascism once and for all” belief system. You just do the work, every election. Far left, center left, it doesn’t matter. Learn the lesson: Stop pretending you’re special and just fucking vote for Democrats.

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Our democratic systems were not prepared for a criminal president to turn his administration into a fully functioning criminal organization. We need have a plan to address this. All Trump pardons must be rescinded. All of them.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

BREAKING: The Trump DOJ just sent letters to local election officials across California — every county in the state — demanding they identify potential noncitizens on their voter rolls and set aside their ballots. Local officials would "risk significant federal scrutiny" if they failed to comply.

It's just what dictators do, and Donald Trump is a dictator. Our only saving grace is that he is an insanely greedy, extreme narcissist and ignorantly unaware of his stupidity, exposing himself daily.

As others have written this golf course is also a large public park w/roads, parking, and bike lanes. It is a top destination for the region's cyclists. My son used to train there. All that will be gone, and the public will lose access unless golfing. No city would ever propose a plan like this.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

As inflation hits a 4-month high and the Iran war keeps driving up gas prices, Trump unveils his big plan with the midterms two weeks away: a "World Class Championship Golf Course" in D.C. Work starts Nov. 15, closing a public course for about 15 months, he says.

This design appears to completely eliminate the much-beloved loop road and public park at Hains Point, and cut down the cherry trees which line the road. The park is a public space used by tens of thousands of Washingtonians and heavily visited by tourists. /photos not my own.

He’s destroying a huge swath of public property, including a golf course used primarily by those new to the game, for this monstrosity that is as garish and gross as it is historic. It’s the Mar-a-Lago face of “restorations.”

Democrats don’t just need to win, they need to win by margins that make Republican ratfucking ineffective and pundits‘ efforts to downplay a mandate laughable. Pour it on. Do not let up.

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

Democracy is not something we inherit. It is something we protect, election by election, vote by vote. Early voting is already open in many states and Election Day is just 18 days away.
