it feels truly insane that it’s not

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

This year's spike in House Ethics Committee investigations related to sexual misconduct prompted congressional leaders to set up a working group led by Rep. Kat Cammack and Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez. What they have found is disturbing, Cammack said. https://to.pbs.org/4e3ZiOe

Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: “A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

Remember, your vote matters. This is a beautiful memorial to a man who should still be alive.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

Three days after the August primary, election workers in one Washington county went to check for late mail-in ballots. They expected no more than a few dozen. Instead, there were more than 500 — each a vote that wouldn’t count.

Having a GenX moment here. I have the PBS documentary about WHFS on and I wasn’t even looking at the screen, but the minute I heard Weasel talk, my brain said “oh, Weasel”. It has been decades since I have heard that distinctive voice, but it is still the same Weasel.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com After almost two years of peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, President Trump “has succeeded not in resolving the conflict, but rather in making the United States a sideshow to the actual process of peace,” Michael Kimmage writes.

Approximately 1,300 military dependents were displaced after Iranian attacks began in February 2026. Families say they received inadequate warnings and were left in Bahrain while missiles and drones threatened nearby installations. #SupportTheTroops

Republicans don’t want students to vote, but please don’t let this stop you from making your voice heard! The Supreme Court today allowed New Hampshire to bar student IDs as identification for the midterm elections, granting the state’s emergency request backed by the Republican National Committee.

Warhound sounds like a really bad idea, so of course they are coming out of stealth to tell us about it now.

What the Attorney General of the United States seems to not understand, but the people who matter do, is that Congress hasn’t given DOJ any authority to block states from certifying the election. This isn’t a thing. And we don’t have to pretend it’s a thing just because he says it’s a thing.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Please, my Texas friends, vote for Talarico. He’ll be terrific in the U.S. Senate and it is time for all Texans to have a voice for them. Musk really is trying to buy himself a personal senator.

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social

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.

Grumpy Old Man Trump doubles down. Claims he knows nothing about Acton or her mother, then spends several minutes repeating the mother’s attacks, calling Acton unfit to be governor, and defending the disgusting ad exploiting her childhood trauma. He knows nothing, except every GOP talking point.

The *second* best thing about a James Talarico win would be how angry this annoying, interfering dork will be at not being able to buy a Senate seat for $200,000,000.

This! *rump trashed East Potomac Park then called it Trash Island. I’ve been in DC since the 1980s and spent many find sunny days there biking, golfing, and enjoying time with friends.

I've been in D.C. for 25 years and have never once heard a resident or visitor refer to East Potomac Park as "Trash Island." I don't know that it even has a trash problem! That being said, this is where the East Wing was dumped after it was demolished...

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception. They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas. Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media. Politics is broken.

Laura Bassett@lebassett.bsky.social

Team Paxton appears to have sent out fake mailers to Texas voters impersonating a trans student group and claiming to want to help kids secretly transition. The actual group said they had nothing to do with it, despite the mailers copying their aesthetic, and the address traces to a random UPS box.

A new report on truancy in D.C. says that some Latino students are truant because the increased presence of ICE, other federal agents, and National Guard had "negative impact on their families." One kid said he was "genuinely afraid to step outside" after his dad was deported.

It’s been certified that Trump supporters are indeed tragically stupid. Stop expecting they’ll come to their senses. They’re hopelessly brain dead.

Some corporate Democrats and pundits think the party has gone too far "left" and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?
