Dog days are over. Time to vote by November 3rd. Time to win.

Trump is so desperate to look like the guy who ended the Ukraine war that he'll settle for being the guy who announced the end of the Ukraine war, while the war continued. But the war can only end when Putin leaves Ukraine. Trump doesn't want a ceasefire. He wants a ceasefire-shaped headline.

Talarico: "If you've seen an attack ad on your TV, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos. That was Elon too."

“A judicial investigation has been launched in Brazil against [Flavio] Bolsonaro for possible foreign financing of his campaign and manipulation of social media algorithms. Flavio still hasn't shown up.” 1/ x.com/biondinicesa...

TRUMP’S AMERICA: Adults at a high school game threatening kids with their parents’ deportation. How fucking rotten have we become? Terrorizing children isn’t patriotism. PAXIS.app helps families know their rights. Free. Help keep it that way: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS

Trump is the one allying himself with terrorists, but you don't see him having to answer for it.

If for no other reason, vote against every damn Republican on the ballot because of this. Because of this disgrace, this shame. What happened to Alex Pretti should never happen in America.👇

He is America’s enemy. He is a traitor to this country.👇

"So, in Alaska, if Peltola wins, her victory is inherently suspect and must be investigated. And in Minnesota, if Flanagan bests Tafoya, her victory is inherently suspect b/c Trump has declared that Tafoya can’t lose, period, unless Dems cheat. This is the long, stupid shadow of the 2020 election."

Best pic I could get before it scampered off. I'd say it's non-plussed 😆

The next party of the center-right will likely come from disaffected centrist Democrats. And that's *okay*. A lot of liberal former Republicans are now Democrats, too. As long as we agree on the Constitution and its protections, plenty of room for throwing elbows and fighting over what's best.

I will never again join a party. I'm too old, and my GOP divorce too traumatic, as I said here:

I would love to buy this guy or gal dinner somewhere.👇

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

Obviously this is racist and gross, but it's also shockingly historically illiterate? No one who has taken a single high school world history course would deny that Arab culture has produced incredible science and literature. This is why we need basic humanities education.

She voted for "more tuna"

In other news, AD ASTRA is on Netflix. It's an excellent, underrated movie. Strongly recommend.

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

If only there were a Nobel Prize for heckling

There is not one world leader who respects him. Not one. They all know he’s an easily manipulated idiot.

Our newest arrivals. They are called Bonnie and Clyde. 2 nice ladies got them out of this neglect situation. Sadly a 3rd dog died there recently. Hopefully we can turn their lives around 🤞❤️

We need to get money out of politics. Let's start with Elon Musk. Full story in reply.

Today we’re releasing our tally of corruption in Trump’s Washington. $377 billion. And that’s just what you can see. The documentary & data are now LIVE at corruptionland.org

🟡 hope they win bigly ✊🏽✊🏻

It was great talking to @milestaylor.bsky.social for my Substack happy hour this past weekend about his new documentary! Our democracy is NOT for sale. Watch and share (widely!) this documentary before you vote: CORRUPTIONLAND.org

In case facts still matter

I think the fact that Marissa Mayer would voluntarily disclose this to a reporter is a pretty good demonstration of how deeply the culture of Silicon Valley has diverged from the rest of humanity

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

Amazing sight! Hundreds of wading birds in a pond at Merritt Island #NationalWildlifeRefuge this morning. As Chief Seattle said: "What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone,man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man."

Awww….. poor Musk. On the brighter side I feel great and you should too!

Protect this Young WOMAN at all Cost!!

My favorite 21st century Hans Zimmer piece might be the finale to Man of Steel. But pull up Crimson Tide and listen to how he integrates the Navy hymn, "Eternal Father Strong to Save" into the music

I just saw Project Hail Mary recently. It's really, really good. Intelligent and fun science fiction, a great popcorn movie.

No fatalism please. A victory agaibst the odds over an authoritarian.

Nobody should have this much power
