Utah is squirrley

There's so much else wrong with this stupid lawsuit but on this specific point: despite being "busy" with "lives" and "jobs," Alaskans were able to spell M-U-R-K-O-W-S-K-I when they reelected her to the Senate as a write-in candidate in 2010 after she lost the GOP primary.

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...

His stories about Washington DC restaurants all getting robbed before he arrived are all bullshit, of course, but this was in the news last Friday

One thing people are missing from the new Jim Comey charges. They came 2 days after Aakash Singh was promoted to PADAG. Comey has been arguing that Trump keeps hiring people for the primary purpose to prosecute him, and this is consistent with that. emptywheel.net/2026/10/26/t...

The truest thing JD Vance has said in a long, long time.

For the last month, I've been posting examples of Trump's authoritarianism that I call "Dictator Move of the Day." If you search that phrase, you'll see that the fascist president is constantly trying to undermine our democracy. I'm going to keep doing these posts. We've got to stop him.

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

He later says “I can just see [it]: ‘President Trump is talking about all the money they’re making while people are suffering at the pump’..I don’t give a damn. I’m gonna say it. We’re making a freaking fortune" Quite the closing argument. No wonder GOP candidates don’t want to campaign with him

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Insane. Actually insane. Let’s make his money this year a waste, shall we?

If you haven’t voted yet, now is a really good time.

Really well done.

Jesse Ventura: “If Donald Trump would have gone in the military, he would have been the guy that wet his bed, cried for his mom, went hysterical, and would be carted out in the middle of the night. The man’s a coward. He’s a bully. All bullies are cowards. That’s why they’re bullies”

Brazil just reminded the world that fascists can be defeated at the ballot box. Our turn comes November 3. Let’s make it fucking hurt.

VOTE

This is outrageous. Trump wants Jewish voters scared, everyone else angry, and his narcissistic self in the middle. This should be rejected outright by everyone, whether or not you support Abdul El-Sayed.

🚨BREAKING: Brazil's President Lula, a vocal critic of Donald Trump, was reelected Sunday in a result that provides relief to critics of Trump and keeps some distance between Latin America's biggest economy and Washington.

If the restrictions on Starlink led to any deaths in Ukraine, hopefully the ICC will investigate whether Musk’s conduct here constitutes a war crime Regardless, no nation should rely on anything controlled by any billionaire-most of all Musk-to help conduct its military operations

Attn: USPS changes mean your ballot may not be postmarked the same day you mail it. Don’t wait until Election Day! Deadlines vary by state. Some require ballots to ARRIVE by Election Day, not just be postmarked.

Every single person who bought Tesla stock five years ago and has been holding it is a loser. No dividends. No stock buybacks. Zero asset appreciation in five years. Meanwhile the S&P 500 index fund is up 65% over the same period.

Well, her husband and brother have both been charged with sexual assault so I can certainly understand why Trump wants to hang out with her.

Lula wins Brazil election! Stops Latin America right wing wave!

Holy hell. Abdul El-Sayed just ended Trump's name calling game. He turned the insult around, Saudis, Qataris, jet and all, and closed it himself. "Call me Senator after November."

NINE DAYS before an election, Trump says all the “great stuff” he’s done will “kick in later.” You know what actually kicks in later? His healthcare cuts. More Medicaid restrictions. More people at risk of losing coverage.

No, we do not “own Greenland.” Denmark did not give Trump Greenland. Greenlanders did not give Trump Greenland. The United States did not acquire Greenland. He got expanded SECURITY RIGHTS and is now telling Americans he OWNS ANOTHER PEOPLE’S COUNTRY “FOR ETERNITY.” That isn’t a real-estate deal.

I realize this isn't a perfect bill, but the amount of money they're spending on blatantly dishonest ads about it is jaw dropping. The billionaires would rather spend hundreds of millions to defeat this bill than just pay a fair share of taxes. A vote for it sends a message on the principle.

Shellie Flockhart appeared in a $1M Republican super PAC ad accusing Democrat Sarah Trone Garriott of endangering children. Flockhart pleaded guilty to child endangerment and drunk driving in 2017 after driving intoxicated with her children, ages 8 and 11. Vote @sarahforiowa.bsky.social

‘We’re not looking to break up families…people who have been here for decades’ - Mike Lawler, the day after his 2024 re-election, when asked about Trump’s mass deportation plans. Yet he has supported that exact, cruel policy ever since. #TheRealMikeLawler lies to your face, #NY17.

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

Mike Lawler had a lot to say about home heating oil costs when he first ran for Congress in 2022. Now? Not so much. Maybe it’s because HE has no plan to fix it and voted (6x!) for the Iran War that created this mess in the first place. #TheRealMikeLawler is a hypocrite, #NY17.

Hey ‘Bama: you didn’t like him as a football coach. Don’t vote for him to be your governor. #vote

Interesting that all of the "leak national security info" cited here was actually disclosed in Israeli media, including Ynet, Times of Israel and Ha'aretz. This whole prosecution looks like a massive nothing burger. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

from @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social:

The recent Starlink / Starshield incident in Ukraine has created a dangerous precedence for the US export industry, many haven't yet grasped. The sudden deactivation respectively curtailing of those systems without warning not only cost precious lives, but also equipment worth millions.

Zarina Zabrisky: Behind me, you can see Oleshky: the town no one wanted to hear about nine months ago. Now, the world knows but the ordeal is not over. The next week ceasefire will be used for a “press tour” to whitewash Russia's war crimes. Don't fall for Russian propaganda.
