The Cook Political Report is moving two governors' race ratings one week before Election Day. • Kansas Governor: Lean Republican to Toss Up • Nebraska Governor: Likely Republican to Lean Republican

At some point soon, this won’t even be a controversial view. The government’s relationship with SpaceX as it stands right now is untenable. www.thebulwark.com/p/nationaliz...

House Dems Report: “A growing body of evidence demonstrates Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the 1990s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the 🇺🇸 people in the dark about it.” The report: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

Why does Donald Trump so desperately want everyone to stop talking about the Files?

Our latest report traces explicit accounts involving 11 women who directly implicate him in Epstein’s crimes and network. So, yes, stop talking about the Files if you want to protect the President from the truth.

Restrict the advertising. Require lengthy spoken disclaimers (“most gamblers will lose money, some will lose everything”, etc). If this isn’t enough, require gamblers to place bets in physical locations.

"Watching him stagger toward a humiliating midterm rebuke with his movement seemingly on the brink of collapse, I have to admit it’s hard to feel much pleasure about it all. Instead, I still mostly feel disgust and shame."

If Americans need our little southern recipe for how to defeat fascism it goes like this: - Put people in the streets by standing for popular demands (wages, healthcare, public services) - Do not engage with fascists online - Do not succumb to doomsayers or media-driven narratives - Be happy

Dunno, but this feels like one of those headlines from 2006 we were all looking back at in 2009 -- "Wall Street celebrates new ways or reducing mortgage risk" or the like. "Meta unveiled a plan to raise up to $95 billion in waves of stock offering." www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta...

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

I don’t get it. If the tariffs are great for America and are bringing back manufacturing and are one of Trump’s signature policies, why won’t the Republicans who refused to overturn them even mention them?

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

Too true. Between appetizer and entree at the Old Ebbitt Grill two weeks ago, not only was I jacked up by a street gang for a watch and wallet, but then, as I was waiting, bereft, for a dessert menu, my youngest child was taken away by the kitchen staff and transitioned without informing me.

Trump and Todd Blanche are far more sympathetic to Epstein and Maxwell than to the survivors of their abuse. And now Vivek — followed byTrump and Vance — embraces the enabler of abuse and attacks the survivor. MAGA: Making Abuse Great Again.

Ohio voter: The fact that Ramaswamy hasn't disowned the ad is beyond comprehension. It's the ugliest thing I've seen in my lifetime.

they're trying to steal the government from us and enslave us

this answer about what issues matter to him from a college student waiting in line at the Trump rally wasn't what the Fox correspondent expected to hear. She moved on with swiftness

I just want to state clearly that I don’t think there would be anything wrong with the president being gay and it absolutely would not change my opinion of him.

Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.

🚨🚨🚨 Q: Is there any scenario in which DOJ would try to block states from certifying the election? AG TODD BLANCHE: Yes, of course. It is not DOJ's intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process, but ...

Ouch

Two thoughts: This false, despicable ad is proof that Vivek Ramaswamy knows he is about to lose to Amy Acton. No mother who loves her daughter would do this. Her complicity reveals her.

❗❗❗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.

I don't think the dam is breaking yet nationwide but Colorado Republicans are going to have a Bad One, that's for sure www.coloradopolitics.com/2026/10/14/r...

This was two years ago. And yet the senator who runs on Fox to condemn every Democrat who doesn’t unconditionally support Netanyahu has nothing to say right now.

Trump's suit appears to be part of Jos. A. Bank's Traveler line. The suit is listed as having been made abroad using a wool-polyester-spandex blend. The company describes it as having the "ultimate stretch" and was designed to minimize body odor.

BAIER: The president says 'SI.' Are you into SI or AI? BEZOS: I do like SI, because 'artificial' is not a very flattering thing. Like, nobody wants an artificial sweetener, artificial flavoring.

Welcome to Greg Abbott’s Texas: higher taxes, more data centers.

The Cook Political Report just moved the Kansas Senate race to TOSS UP. Kansas. Which hasn’t elected a Democratic senator since 1932. 🤯 www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/sen...

Today, The Cook Political Report is moving three Senate races, all towards Democrats. • Kansas from Lean R -> Toss Up • North Carolina from Lean D -> Likely D • New Hampshire from Toss Up -> Lean D Read @jessicataylor.bsky.social's full analysis:

Amtrak announces date for 2nd route from Pittsburgh to New York

"A Republican victory in 2028 would mean we could never assume that 'liberalism”'was secure...It would mean living on the knife’s edge, between liberalism and fascism, forever. So don’t get complacent if Democrats wind up with some crazy number of Senate seats." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-doomsd...

"Point is: This voter lives in Michigan and has no idea what her actual, lived reality looks like. Don’t tell me that people like her would be incapable of electing a Republican in 2028, even with a bad economy and $6.50 diesel." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-doomsd...

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Guessing he's not the only one out there.

Breaking News: The average 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage made its biggest weekly jump in four years, rising to 7.28%.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Ron Wyden says the DOJ and FBI withheld a secret interview with a banker tied to Jeffrey Epstein from the files released to the public. And he says there may be more.

He’s an election denier who was hired by Trump and he couldn’t find evidence that Trump won the 2020 election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Trump family has financial ties to a Russian oligarch close to Putin. That should alarm every single American. Why does this family keep cutting deals with foreign adversaries? Oversight Democrats are investigating, and we will get the truth.
