Trump just threatened to withhold federal disaster relief from North Carolina if the state votes Democratic in the midterms. Let me remind you again: no president in history has politicized and weaponized natural disasters the way Trump has.

Big Oil buys off Congress. No action on climate. Big Pharma buys off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. But we can begin to course correct by electing leaders on Nov. 3 who represent the people, not big money. Let's get it done.

The Paxtons’ blind trust invested $600K in a convicted fraudster’s new company. Experts say the trust wasn’t truly blind as the Paxtons reported losses from it on their taxes. Angela Paxton also sat on an affiliate’s advisory board for several years. with @texastribune.org

Elon apparently wasn't too happy about our latest episode of the Coffee Klatch — and my criticisms of him. Here's the full conversation, in case you missed it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa6g...

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

Most Americans abhor what they see, because what they see is abhorrent. This is how the great sleeping giant of America awakens, roars, and puts an end to it. This is how America throws the bums out on November 3.

Backlash to data centers might very well be the biggest issue in the midterms, with nearly 70 percent of Americans opposing them. Is it any wonder why?

The Democrats’ focus on affordability seems to be a winning strategy. But we mustn’t lose sight of the moral squalor at the core of the Trump regime and the necessity of ending it. My latest for The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/oct/23/trump-moral-squalor

These numbers are telling. CBS News projects Democrats at 229 House seats to Republicans’ 206. Look at what voters are saying: • 65% say the economy is bad. • 57% say Trump’s policies have hurt them financially. • DON’T MISS THIS: 83% say government corruption is a major factor in their vote.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.
