The extrajudicial killings will continue until poll numbers improve.

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

I've already seen some effort to bury this as "there's not a lot new here." As if, "What's one more rape victim?" is sound editorial judgment. Republicans kept the Benghazi story going for years on nothing new, but that didn't stop to press from covering every nothing burger they served up.

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

Jake Bauers is just gonna nonchalantly high five his teammates who combined for 8 runs in the 5th, after he combined (with himself) for 2 fly outs to left. <whistling>

I feel an urge to point out that the San Diego Padres put up a helluva lot better fight in the division series than either the Dodgers in the NLCS or the Rays in the World Series. It does me no good, but I’m giving in to that urge anyway.

The Jackson Chourio stop hitting singles challenge—impossible!

Update! Bishop apologizes for allowing himself to be tricked. ⤵️ www.archmil.org/posts/a-publ... The WH duped Catholic clergy into what they were told would be high level meetings & private prayer, took secret video, & released it w/o permission! heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-25... ⤵️

I'm quite willing to forgive this from a 27-year-old. Welcome to adulthood! A little late to it but happy you're here regardless.

Me: "It cannot be stated often enough or vociferously enough: the Trump Administration is helping Russia to conquer Ukraine. The United States of America has taken the side of an aggressor against its innocent victim. We are helping our actual enemies" www.aei.org/foreign-and-...

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

Remember when the President directing the DOJ to do literally anything would be a months long scandal that would almost certainly end in impeachment? I miss those days.

Democrats should really feature these creeps their extensive ties to this administration.

This would be the most any person has donated in any election cycle. And #2 is also Musk, in 2024.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Since there’s no statute of limitations on murder, there’s really no such thing as a “former” hit man.

100% this and proud to have @lydiakauppi.bsky.social on our team.

AI billionaires are trying to buy elections... but when voters know who's pushing ads, it backfires. One of the most important things we can all do right now is make sure our friends and family know which candidates are being backed by freaks like Musk and Andreessen www.inc.com/sam-blum/ai-...

The “once great” state of Minnesota is now full of Somali immigrants… like this one. www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

In August, Trump announced the “BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!” But is it? The text of the accord — which grants the U.S. sweeping access to Venezuela’s oil reserves — has been one of DC’s most sought-after secrets. ProPublica got to see a copy. 🧵

Remember when Trump’s people used to deny he’d mocked a journalist with a disability? Just a reminder that they’ve been lying for a long time.

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

It shows you how bad the Vivek thing is. Staffer for one of the slimiest guys in congress, who literally made jokes about Dems pols getting murdered in Minnesota, gets the fully story and issues an abject apology.

Today LA County responded to DOJ’s request that a court order California officials to set aside ballots from some 20,000 voters that the DOJ says it thinks might be non-citizens. The county’s preliminary analysis of the list is devastating for DOJ, though not at all surprising.

In case you see this post claiming that Acton's statement is "misinformation" floating around, it's deceptive to the point of being false.

I’m going to live forever.

Last call to register and update your registration *online* for the Nov. 3 election, California! 👉🏾 registertovote.ca.gov After Oct. 19, you can register any time until polls close on Election Day at all county elections offices, polling places, and vote centers.

Ken Paxton’s financial disclosures appear to omit rental income on multiple properties. Receiving income and not reporting it is a violation of federal ethics law, three experts said. with @texastribune.org

The answer is SIX. Inflation has outpaced wage growth for 6 consecutive months.

Musk would do this through those f*cking Trump Accounts they opened in every child's name without parental consent. I HATE these SO much. Parents cannot close the accounts. Parents cannot reject donations to the accounts. And we must hold on to donations for at least 5 years. I'm a state lawmaker.

The name of New Mexico is funny because it's one of those things that you'd think is really simple (oh, it's it used to be part of old Mexico, so we'll call it New Mexico!), but it's much more complex New Mexico as the name for the area predates Mexico by several hundred years!

Worst case scenario: mutton.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social, has Craig introduced you to the humble potato?

The “every accusation is a confession” thing is maybe overstated but when it comes to Republicans and “sharia” it is unquestionably the case that the people trying to impose their religion on others through the legal system in the US are not Muslims bsky.app/profile/qasi...

Trump is claiming that the US is running low on Tomahawk missiles because "Biden gave them all to Ukraine." The US has never given any Tomahawk missles to Ukraine. Not even one. Not ever.

Watchdogs don’t have hammers. They have teeth. Why are we mixing metaphors when sticking to one works just fine?

Two thoughts about this. 1) I don’t think I’ve heard of any of these guys, and that seems like maybe they weren’t great choices to fill this role on playoff teams. 2) When the only prior examples are a strike season and 3 games from the dead ball era, this situation is a pretty extreme outlier.

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

In competitive authoritarian countries, regime allies limit and control mainstream media visibility to opposition figures and media. We're not there yet, but this is what it looks like.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Always, always, always with these guys it’s the thing that benefits Russia. Trump/Russia, anyone?

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.
