New in PN: Living in the long, stupid shadow of the Big Lie "Elections where Trump — or any other Republican — wins are fine, but elections where Republicans lose are corrupt. The only solution, of course, is to let the DOJ intervene both before and after any elections that Trump has fixated on."

As Rep. Max Miller campaigns for a third term, a trove of court and police records obtained by Mother Jones details allegations of physical abuse, drug use, and misogyny raised during a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife.

The GOP's has taken on Trump's character, and it's ugly.

(Reuters) - Americans have paid more for their gasoline and diesel at the pump on average during President Donald Trump's second term than they did under his Democratic predecessor, Joe ​Biden, according to the AAA. ⛽️ @reuters.com www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

🚨BREAKING: Judiciary Democrats’ report details mounting evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities and DOJ’s cover-up; specific accounts involving 11 women provide more evidence of potential sex crimes. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Gratified to see widely respected journalist Margaret Sullivan endorse my view that major media must depict Trump’s abuse of power as a “five-alarm fire” – because it is.

Huge headlines around the world. In major US corporate media, complete silence. Something fishy here.

NEW: For over a year, staff at Oklahoma’s regulatory agency built a case against the oil company with the state’s highest number of oil field pollution incidents and violations. Instead of punishing the company, officials let it restart operations. with @readfrontier.bsky.social

In Jared Kushner, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman found an American partner he could steer in whichever way he wanted.

"If there is one thing that Zach Lahn, the Republican nominee for governor of Iowa, definitely does not want to talk about, it’s his connection to the Koch family." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/us/politics/zach-lahn-iowa-governor-kansas-kochs.html

House Judiciary Democrats have released a 50-page report examining Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, including accounts involving 11 women and a new rape allegation that the White House denies. With just 8 days until the midterms, the report is raising explosive new questions.

For 194 years, the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper declined to offer high-office endorsements. Until now. The newspaper noted that Ramaswamy’s use of an ad exploiting Acton’s traumatic youth “crossed a line” and “we have a responsibility to show it.” www.huffpost.com/entry/clevel...

If January 6 wasn't enough to turn Republicans against Trump, don't expect them to uphold democracy in the midterms. Watch LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens on MSNOW:

The contradiction between professing to care about protecting girls from sexual predators and grinning at things like Ramaswamy's ad "is a microcosm of the broader Trump agenda: professing support for the vulnerable while shielding their abusers."

After years of GOP dysfunction, I took office and rebuilt Illinois. 8 balanced budgets. 12 credit upgrades. Bills backlog cleared. $2B+ Rainy Day Fund.

Trump says he’s the only President that ever took a cognitive test. EXACTLY!

Ohio, let's do what we can to elect @amyactonoh.bsky.social as your next Governor and @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social as your next U.S. Senator! They’ve dedicated their lives to fighting on behalf of all Ohioans.

For Mike Rogers, shielding Elon Musk from any form of accountability is his highest mission. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Trump's family has made billions off the presidency while working families can't afford groceries. And Republicans in Congress? They've done nothing to stop it. Not one thing. Voters will not forget that at the ballot box.

Jon Husted voted against lowering health care costs 9 times, putting his health insurance donors over hardworking Ohioans.

In unfortunately chosen remarks, JD Vance calls Trump a tinpot dictator. Hilarity ensues. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Off the charts Trump family corruption. Kushner got Billions of foreign funds, while spearheading foreign policy. And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn

Sen. Sanders: I have a suggestion for Trump. Instead of lying and throwing hatred against Abdul and his family, why don't you explain to the American people why you threw 15 million Americans off their healthcare to give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1%?

For the last month, I've been posting examples of Trump's authoritarianism that I call "Dictator Move of the Day." If you search that phrase, you'll see that the fascist president is constantly trying to undermine our democracy. I'm going to keep doing these posts. We've got to stop him.

Every time I remember this I want a Trump supporter to suffer!! 🤬

I grew up on these waters. I’m fighting to make sure future generations can too.

Texas AG Ken Paxton has taken about 350 out-of-state trips with a state-funded security detail. During a 2017 Israel trip, organizers said Paxton insisted on his own security despite the government providing it for other AGs. His detail cost $75,000. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u... #txlege

Middle East dictators created a massive slush fund for Jared Kushner. trib.al/fXvwuJt

No. The charges are already time barred. Under the relevant statute of limitations, an indictment must be filed within 10 years of the offense, which allegedly occurred on October 5, 2016. This DOJ is out of control.

The importance of salmon might be a novel idea to the Lower 48, but every Alaskan understands. Fish is how we feed our families, drive our economy, and sustain our way of life. I’m the only candidate fighting for our fisheries, not the factory trawlers.

Trump is on the ballot. Don’t believe me? Take it from them…

No amount of money can stop a movement built on the basic principles that have made America strong. Thanks to Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino for the invitation to talk about the coalition we're building across Florida.

🔥 “27 years in office and Marsha Blackburn still has a price” Independent (conservative) candidate for Governor David Hatley rips @MarshaBlackburn for getting a $50,000 donation from Kalshi right after they lost in court to Tennessee Governor for sale! 🤷🏼‍♀️
