I would also note that Dems are not even unified in impeaching Trump. The 3rd time this session that Green forced the vote, 46 Dems voted 'present' and 18 voted AGAINST impeaching Donald Trump.
Today, Al Green (D-TX) forced a third vote to impeach Donald Trump. 18 Dems voted against it. 46 voted present, aka, the Coward's yea.
Feels appropriate to note that the only reason we even had impeachment votes against Trump this last session is because Al Green used special privilege to force the House to vote on it. Al Green also lost his primary.
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

When I include voting for pro-AI bills in my summaries of fascist legislation, this techno-eugenicist propaganda is precisely why.
RFK Jr says Sam Altman told him it's "malpractice for a doctor to make a diagnosis or to make a prescription w/o at least checking AI.” RFK Jr says AI “can give you a second opinion that is much better informed than any doctor in the country." I asked OpenAI+Anthropic if they agree; never heard back

Also, as someone who is disabled: 1) Dems who have proven they will sacrifice anyone in exchange for victory do not make me feel safer & 2) keep my community out of your mouth. If you can justify sacrificing trans people now, I know you'll do exactly nothing when we're the next target.

Every Democratic senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio.

Glad to see one day after the filing deadline the Chicago mayor race is starting with just an absolute pile of disgusting nonsense.
Mayoral hopeful George Cardenas’ campaign inadvertently exposed 1.5 million Chicago voters’ personal data through his campaign site, which appears to have been largely built with AI. Experts agree the move was a “complete lapse” in security. illinoisanswers.org/2026/10/27/m...

Final note on this: seeing a lot of people in the comments claiming that West was a 'spoiler' candidate. All I have to say is dude's campaign was effectively done by the summer of 2024. By the fall it was just a lawsuit to get on the ballot in NC and nothing else. He spoiled nothing.

Sadly, this is who Cornel West has been for years. If you're nice and cordial to him, no matter your ideology, he's on your side. The second you question him, the man's an absolute ghost.
Why would Cornel West, a man who serves on the board of a far right education group with Christopher Rufo, do this?

I'd also add that West's 2024 run might be one of the most hilarious bad attempts to run for president. He started out as the nominee for the People's Party & made his announcement alongside alleged rapist and party founder Nick Brana. This came after accusations against Brana emerged.

What followed was West discovering what all first time candidates discover: that getting on every state ballot is complicated and ridiculously hard. Some states it's easier to be an independent, others its easier to just start your own party (such as his Justice for All Party).

For those of you who have never heard of Shiva Ayyadurai, this lawsuit is the just the tip of the iceberg. Dude is definitely in the running for the most unhinged guy on the far right.

Trans people are fighting to keep rights they had ten years ago—in 2016. It is not the same as fighting for rights in the first instance. So please I beg of you, knock it off with this “purity test” horseshit.
You know, the purity tests when trying to change society only make things worse. Im old enough to remember the fight for gay rights starting in the 80’s. We didnt change hearts and minds by demanding 100% adherence to everything. It came by increments. All you are doing is helping the magats.

In case you need a quick rebuttal to anyone who says that Dems have to resort to anti-trans bigotry in order to win.
"Dems have to say anti-trans things to win" Turek edition: Turek made his first batch of anti-trans statements from September 8th to 11th. On 9/8, Turek has polling an average of 46.4% As of today? 46.1% Once again, it looks a lot like anti-trans policy doesn't help.
Same for Mary Peltola
Mary Peltola released her anti-trans ad on September 21st. On that date, RCP's poll average had her leading 50.2% to incumbent Dan Sullivan's 48.1%. As of today, those numbers are 48.5% for Peltola, 47% for Sullivan. Really looks like going anti-trans gained Peltola absolutely nothing.
Same for James Talarico.
"James Talarico has to say anti-trans things in order for him to win" is so utterly divorced from basic reality. It didn't help Colin Allred win when he did the same thing in 2024 and, based on polling, it hasn't resulted in Talarico increasing his polling numbers whatsoever.
