🧵 CONGRESSIONAL REFORMS Much like SCOTUS, there is no longer a right to privacy for Congress or their staffs. But this will go farther. As before, not all will be implemented, but at a minimum, shit's gotta change.

The NY Times quotes DOJ assurances that its election maneuvers aren't politically motivated. Then NYT says: “Yet it has become increasingly difficult to reconcile reassurances with reality, critics say.” What the hell is “critics say” doing in that sentence? NYT knows it to be true. Just say it!

This is from Jim Comey's reply on his motion to dismiss in the latest Trumped up case. DOJ is arguing, "another part of the Internal Security Act" (the one covering crimes Trump is arguably committing as we speak) "only requires an Information. Comey is saying, nuh uh, that's only for treason.

SENATOR OLIVER: “I don’t like Bullies, predators, and racists. Brent Taylor is all 3… don’t let this man go to congress.” She calls it “evil” & “sinister” Brent Taylor claims “youthful indiscretions” about 🍆 sexts while criminalizing Black youth as adults + undermining MEMPHIS

Jon Husted had 14 opportunities to lower costs for Ohioans by ending this costly war in Iran but he voted against it every single time.

Members of Congress sold off millions of dollars in shares of companies exposed to President Donald Trump’s tariffs this year, even as they publicly downplayed, praised or voted against ending the policies.

I think an accurate gauge for how maga a particular city is would be whether they demand payment up-front from this lifelong conman. The fact that there are still places who front the cost without first collecting the bill absolutely fucking astounds me.

The Brazilian Supreme Court also calls for an investigation into: — Allegations that influencers were paid to promote pro-Bolsonaro Polymarket predictions. — Meta’s algorithms — Reports of paid AI-generated fake accounts, deepfakes, and coordinated disinformation operations.

Republican Roger Marshall's mayor says the senator is not a Kansas resident. "Look, it's quite obvious he doesn't live here anymore." "He lives in Florida. He has a little hunting lodge south of Great Bend in Stafford County. And I think that's an issue for people, from what I hear."

The only thing they are serious about is demonstrating how deeply unserious they are about their jobs.

The super-rich want to keep corrupt Republicans in power so they can keep getting super-richer. Elon Musk is No. 1 in spending – about half a BILLION. Boycott Tesla. The Uihleins are No. 2. Boycott Uline shipping & packaging products. If you support Tesla or Uline, you're buying a dictatorship.

To understand just how shoddy the predication against Floris and Benavides is, here's the Albany memo that Kash originally used as his excuse to target them. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

In case you missed it: The Trump administration is buying a stake in a private oil firm, and investors in the company could receive enormous wealth from the arrangement. The role of the Venezuelan government and the potential benefits to its people are largely absent from the text of the deal.

Conservatives have undermined trust in government for decades so they could be put in power to paralyze and disassemble it. Now that they have full power, they’re behaving in ways that destroys any remaining trust. That was always the plan. It’s played out many times in history.

ICYMI — @MarshaBlackburn took Tennessee voters for granted and hid from a debate last night like the corrupt coward everyone knows she is.🐔 www.wsmv.com/2026/10/28/3...

🔥 #NY17 is on a knife’s edge. Democrat Cait Conley is taking on MAGA Republican Mike Lawler in one of New York’s true toss-up House races. This could be one of the seats that decides control of Congress. Cait can flip this seat — please volunteer, donate and VOTE! www.caitconley.com #VoteEarly

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark has raised $50 million this election cycle, cementing her reputation as a top fundraiser as Democrats eye retaking the majority — a victory that would position the Massachusetts lawmaker as the first woman to serve as majority leader.

god if this isn’t it 🫣

Eight of Ken Paxton's top aides could have kept quiet. 
They reported him to the FBI instead. He fired four of them. A judge ordered millions to be paid to them. Details:

The TN GOP gerrymandered the hell out of this district, which now sprawls from Memphis to Nashville, but Justin Pearson has been working hard to make it a close race. Last poll had him down just 4 points, but his opponent has since been exposed as a sex pest. This is a race to watch.

A Brazilian Supreme Court justice has ordered a police investigation into alleged ties between a donor network co-founded by JD Vance and the presidential campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro in the run-up to Sunday's election.

If you want to know what’s coming down the road for America, study Russia’s history. Is this the last legit election we have? Or was that back in 2020? Vote anyway. 🗳️

Winning is not enough. There is no incentive for DOJ to stop. Indeed, they may well get ‘atta boys for having angered federal court judges. Sanctions, contempt and ultimately impeachment are essential

😂😂😂

It's not just defeating Trump, it's destroying the GOP. This should be the goal.

Just a reminder that Trump is intent on punishing Comey because Comey is the guy who stopped him from paying off his quid pro quo to Russia and collecting all his "deals." And all the "deals" are happening right now, and no one connects it to 2016's sell-out of the century.

When it comes with a libel and defamation tax, it's certainly the farthest thing from 'free'

NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy was warned by Republicans about the now-infamous Amy Acton mother ad. Asawin Suebsaeng and I dug into the back story of the ad for @zeteo_news and it's worse than you thought. /

Maybe the @nytimes.com could just put a transcript of a recent rally on the front page.

Darline Graham sits on the Judiciary and Appropriations Committees even though she was never elected to the U.S. Senate. These committees have enormous influence over federal spending, judicial confirmations, and the direction of our justice system. She has no business being on them.

WOW! New NY Times poll shows Dr. Annie Andrews tied with "Senator" Darline Graham. South Carolina: YOU CAN DO THIS!! DEFEAT MAGA, SAVE AMERICA!

How the People of Brazil Went to War With a Billionaire and His Algorithm I'll keep adding context as I find it because I find the speed of the mobilization and the online tactics they used so inspiring.

"Witt acknowledged that Patel launched the probe one day after a speech Trump gave in July complaining about alleged interference in U.S. elections by American intelligence and law enforcement officials."

It's simple: Trump has broken every promise to America. No wars, Epstein, prices, gas. Now, Republicans are running from him in record numbers.

Any town that agrees to host a Trump convention or rally that doesn't ask this notorious deadbeat for money in advance is ridiculously incompetent. Trump has stiffed MANY cities. It's a lesson he learned when he didn't pay his subcontractors during construction of buildings.

WATCH — @jerrigreen4tn.bsky.social : “There’s only one person up here who has never voted for Donald Trump or Marsha Blackburn or Donald Trump, who has known all along they would be detrimental to our state.” (She means herself) #MIAMarsha #MTSU #TNGovDebate

This is a US senator.

This proves Marshall lives in Florida. They don’t make makeup like that in Kansas. They call it Palm Beach Vermilion.

Hey Meta 👋 We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie Instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event.

This is really good.
