🚨SENATE ALERT: Democrats are closing in. Silver Bulletin gives Dems a 76% chance to win the Senate—with strong leads in NC, GA and NH, and competitive races across OH, ME, MI, MN, AK and TX. But Republicans are flooding the airwaves with money to stop the blue wave. Vote early. Finish the job. 🔵

Never ever forgive these stupid bastards, and never let them forget it.

“There’s a lot of people that voted for Trump that really, really overlooked a lot of the things they already knew in him. But they were willing to give him a chance because they thought he might make life better for them. They know now it was all a lie. There’s going to be a big backlash for sure.”

Elon Musk not only controls the satellite systems that the Ukrainian army - and other European armies - rely upon, he also controls the algorithms that govern a large swathe of the European information space. Europe needs to decouple from this clear and present threat to their security. My latest

Putin: “Russia is exploring the possibility of cooperation with the US in the Arctic.” Just a reminder of Trump’s lies that he wanted Greenland to keep Russia out of the Arctic.

This morning on BBC Breakfast, Nigel Farage said he had received “zero help from the state” with his security. Yet reports say he had previously received publicly funded protection and was offered a taxpayer-funded package including a bodyguard, a secure car and a trained driver.

In July, an incensed Elon Musk vowed that Grok Imagine would produce a "full-length" and "historically accurate" adaptation of Homer's Odyssey to put Christopher Nolan's woke version to shame. Three months later, we got seven minutes of slop that Grok itself admits is not historically accurate.

wired.comGrok Says Its AI-Generated Version of ‘The Odyssey’ Is ‘Not Historically Accurate’Months after Elon Musk declared that the xAI model would outclass Christopher Nolan’s mythological epic, the bot itself admitted defeat.

Trump’s going to demand every republican back him up over this cheesecake factory shite. That’s just what they need this close to the election they’re currently tanking in. Fuck your prices and food poisoning and deportations, Obama was mean about trump‘s tacky shit on the walls, it’s def con one!

I don’t think I will ever forget or forgive the #BBC for giving Farage a platform for his poison. It’s collusion, clear as day. 😡

This the callousness of the anti-vaxxers - they don't care they endanger lives of others who can't et vaccinated due to age or a valid medical condition. As far as I'm concerned, if they or anyone in their family goes to a medical facility with a preventable disease, they should be denied treatment.

Is it patriotic that 80% of the money received by Reform UK from donations in the year 2025-26 has come from individuals or companies who have been based abroad in the past two years? Reform say that they are the party of the people. Rich, foreign people

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

As in Hungary, the authoritarian regime in Serbia is being dismantled . “For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.

Black turnout is key. In early-voting across the country, it is highest in Louisiana, where the US Senate race is making history. Despite no national attention nor party funding, Jamie Davis outraises his MAGA opponent, & is neck & neck in the polls.. #BlueWaveIn10Days #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Trump has only allowed the transfer of 24 patriot missiles to Ukraine over the last 3 months. That is only 2 interceptors a week. Rather than ending patriot deliveries, Trump is sending a tiny amount so people can't complain he stopped while 95% of Russia's missiles still get to hit their targets.

On MSNOW, I slammed corporate media for their outrageous double standard when it comes to Abdul El-Sayed where they demand he denounce every fabricated link to extremism. But they don't press his opponent Mike Rogers to denounce Trump for his Jan. 6 terrorist attack AND for pardoning J6 attackers

A large nighttime march is moving through Tbilisi, Georgian flags raised above the crowd. Protesters carry a wide banner in Georgian at the front, with blue-and-yellow flags visible farther back. The protests against Georgia’s Russia-friendly government are growing again.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Per Telegraph, Putin and Trump admin are discussing the “need” for NATO withdrawal back to its 1997 borders as part of the “peace plan”. That means withdrawal of NATO forces from Poland, Baltics and Finland.

America needs to throw his pardons in the bin and prosecute them anyway, constitution be dammed. “I committed crimes for my boss who then wrote a note saying I can’t ever be punished?” Fuck off.

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.
