"The cardinal error of the Germans who opposed Naziism was their failure to unite against it." -William L. Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

I really don’t understand the claim I see on this site that Dems somehow compromised and that’s somehow why US voters … rewarded Trump by putting him back in office? DOJ under Biden indicted Trump. Dems impeached Trump and GOP Senators saved him. 2024 voters saved him.

Open, transparent religious bigotry is what these people do.

Every time I feel pangs of concern about voting for Abdul, Rogers will do something unbelievably stupid & awful to remind me of why I did so.

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

No matter what wild claims you may hear from Donald Trump and his allies about our elections — remember that it’s all noise. He’s trying to stoke chaos and sow confusion to get the results that he wants.

What a disgusting pig.

Rebecca Cooke on Derrick Van Orden: “He's gotten drunk in his official office, yelled at Senate pages, carried a loaded gun through TSA... I mean, he's really out there.” Cooke also slams his “six votes that he took to continue this war in Iran” as Wisconsin families face rising prices.

This is your reminder that there's no such thing as a perfect candidate and while complaining is totally valid, harm reduction is incredibly important and you should still vote! ❤️❤️❤️

You can hear a woman screaming that ICE is taking her husband. This incident took place in Stockton, California on the evening of October 25, 2026 around 9PM Pacific.

dude, you got yourself kicked out of two boarding schools, your Harvard application is rumored to have consisted of two words - "Harvard" and "Kennedy" -, your peers there say you were a dealer in college, your roommate reportedly wrote your senior thesis for you, and you failed the NY bar twice

Yet 1 more example of how the Trump administration just does what it wants, despite it often not having the legal authority to do it

Younger Gen z voters don't know about the Access Hollywood tape because it's more offensive to *talk about* the president being an admitted serial rapist than it is for the president to be a serial rapist.

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

@marcelias.bsky.social : “Mr. Blanche... we have beaten you and your team in court like a drum. So I hope you don't do what you are threatening or insinuating you might do. But if you do, I will see you in those courtrooms. I will win. And then I will dance on your head for those victories.”

FWIW, this poll is pretty close to where I expect the MI Senate margins to end up being: Benson by 12 El-Sayed by 2 ippsr.msu.edu/news/msu-pol...

If, as expected, Democrats sweep this election,the already growing movement in MAGA to repeal the 19th amendment will get louder. It's tempting to dismiss this as just talk. But while they can't just end women's suffrage, this movement is dangerous. www.salon.com/2026/10/26/m...

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Trump is interrupted by a protester in Mississippi: "Shove that ballroom up your ass!"

Major press failure: treating Jared Kushner taking foreign bribes and shaping US foreign policy as less relevant than Hunter Biden not taking bribes nor influencing policy. Covering Kushner accurately was considered partisan, biased. Lies about Hunter or his minor actions treated as more important.

Look, the simple truth is that on November 3rd, the Republican Party needs to be punished. The Republican Party needs to be punished BIG TIME for continuing to embrace a sociopathic madman who is a traitor to, and an enemy of, America. VOTE.

In addition to this being just bleak as fuck from a human perspective, I gotta say, if you’re overwhelmed by the complexity of writing three nice things about your daughter, why should I want your opinion on literally anything important or complex?

It was supposed to be Graham Platner. He was going to be the whatabout. The attempted gotchas at El-Sayed about Platner’s tattoo would’ve alone made for weeks of coverage.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

😂😂😂

Damn good question.

this man is a gotdamned patriot

Gotta admit I'm a little surprised at how little juice the DOJ has leading into the midterms. One idiotic suit against Alaska and two small ballot cases is.. well a lot less than I expected.

My Fellow Californians: Here’s a smart breakdown on Prop. 45 and how it would affect our already fragile ecosystem. #NOon45

At least 18 early voting centers in rural Alaska have not opened as of Friday, state Sen. Bill Wielechowski says. The commonality? All the affected areas have at least a 60% Alaska Native population — with nearly a dozen having Alaska Native populations upwards of 90%: https://demdock.com/4yTW5Ze

👀 A Trump admin declaration in its lawsuit against California describes its process for flagging potential noncitizen voters but also indicates that the review is “ongoing” and that it discovered “minor data discrepancies” for 189 people it identified storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I felt I really needed to write about Rowling's essay, not because it's new, but because it's so poisonous and ugly that it felt like sanitizing her not to acknowledge it on my trans news site.

When Donald Trump launched his campaign, he was caught hiring paid actors to pad the audience. (I also happened to be the one that busted him doing so). www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

One of the most competitive House races in US is Wisconsin’s 3rd. Democrat, Rebecca Cooke, is ready to kick out incumbent and 1/6 insurrectionist, Derrick Van Orden. She joins me for the latest in her race, including Van Orden’s repeated use of AI-generated deepfake ads. youtu.be/vaWfahm9NLQ?...

Okay, I deleted the original post because people didn't check the link at all and mistook my typo of "young men" seriously. I clearly meant young women. Not sure why this isn't a bigger story, but I read this entire report today. It's gutting. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Excellent advice 🤔

In addition to Elon Musk the same person who has been supporting Clarence Thomas for years also supported leftist Cornel West…

"Under Brazilian federal law, all legislators have immunity...To run for President, Bolsonaro decided not to run for his Senate seat. Now, after losing the Presidential election, he no longer has legislative immunity when his Senate term expires in January 2027." Very Special Episode of no amnesty
