Ding ding fucking ding.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Republicans in Ohio are spending millions promoting a socialist candidate, hoping he'll steal votes from Democrat Sherrod Brown. So in Ohio, confusing voters is a brilliant strategy. In Alaska, it's a five-alarm constitutional crisis.

Mrs. Miller complains that Dems want to [checks her highlighted passage] prosecute those who committed federal crimes

This is an incredibly moving ad from the Mitch Green campaign.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Seems important

By all means, sir, keep reminding us that you’re a fan of child r*pe!

JD Vance greeting Bengals players and most are ignoring him lol

NEWS: While working at Trump’s Justice Department, Alina Habba accepted a $50 million bribe to help a billionaire banker charged with bribery get a pardon from Trump. Weeks after she started cashing his checks, Trump handed him a full pardon, and nobody in this administration batted an eye.

If Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed had used the word “Shylock” as an insult, the ADL would be attacking them by name relentlessly. But Donald Trump used it, so we get a generic condemnation of the word without any specific reference to who actually used it, and with no assumption of intent.

This move is uniquely repugnant. What a piece of shit.

Following the tragic event at Silver Rail Elementary School last week in Bend, there are free support services, local resources, and opportunities to connect. This is the current resource list compiled by the Bend community. You can find links to all resources at bendoregon.gov/community-su...

Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters "We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."

Vivek Ramaswamy registered as an attorney in New York and as a voter in Ohio at different addresses, which would mean he either violated New York State Bar registration laws or Ohio voter registration laws.

The Trump admin is moving forward on plans to impose financial penalties on Americans in default on their federal student loans and hire private debt collectors to go after them. The plans are unlikely to be announced until after the midterms.

If you don't think that Trump is expecting a major quid pro quo from Russia in thanks for his open betrayal of the US, our national security and our allies, think again. And it has nothing to do with peace with Ukraine. Almost certainly it is about two things: election interference and $$$$.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.

West Coast footage is rolling in!! #NoKings ❌👑

Update: WE ARE BACK IN! We can post again. This was utter bullshit on the biggest early vote effort in history. But it will not stop what we're building. No Kings means no kings in the White House or in Silicon Valley.

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.

From D.C. to Los Angeles, No Kings rallies kick off across the United States with a focus on voter turnout in the midterm elections. Follow live updates from our reporters.

Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.

No Kings can't post on instagram during today's massive action -- Here are some No Kings partner groups on insta still able to post with content you can share: @indivisibleteam @aclu_nationwide @50501movement @moveon @public_citizen @blackvotersmtr @votolatino @statevoices @aftunion

🚨🚨🚨 Meta just took down the No Kings instagram page with 3000 events happening around the country today

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

REMINDER: The Senators elected this November will LITERALLY decide the future of Social Security. In 2032, either seniors will get screwed, or millionaires and billionaires will pay their fair share into Social Security. WHO DO YOU TRUST TO MAKE THAT CHOICE?

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.

any political coverage citing Drazan’s thoughts and prayers response to the shooting ought to mention she literally organized republican legislative walkouts to stymie multiple gun control bills

“.. Rarely has an individual donor been effectively tied to such a large commitment for a single candidate.” @nytimes.com #TXsen www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

Does Senator Collins regret her vote to confirm RFK Jr? "No."

💔

School shootings happen this often because Republican politicians think gun worship is good for their careers.

UPDATE: 3 kids, 1 adult dead in shooting at Oregon elementary school; police say shooter dead www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/1...

You bet your ass I’m gonna politicize this. Christine Drazan has a record of voting against common sense gun reforms. In ‘22 she was endorsed by the extreme OR Firearms Federation. Vote for Tina Kotek.

Talarico: "We currently see in Texas women dying in emergency room parking lots from sepsis because their doctors are too afraid to provide life-saving care...I think we should be disturbed by the outcomes of this extreme abortion ban."

JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000. This is the Republican Party.

Read: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Real America's Voice interviewed a guy at the Trump rally in Ohio who blasted Trump for peddling "lies and garbage." He went so hard on Trump and JD Vance that they cut the interview short.

Christine Drazan has been endorsed by Oregon Right to Life, a group that opposes abortion, even in cases of rape, incest, and health of the mother, and she introduced legislation that could criminalize reproductive health care providers.

whatever your evaluation of kotek's tenure, i hope it's objectively clear to anyone reading my dumb posts it'd be such a colossal unmitigated disaster to have drazan laying out the welcome mat for Trump's agenda and spending an entire four years vetoing anything remotely good the legislature passes

Did they put Eric Schmitt in charge of ad buys?

“The episode shows how the Trump administration and its allies selectively disclose government files, omitting context to discredit investigations that led to Mr. Trump’s federal indictment and that anger his supporters.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/u...

This is how you write a headline.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1957: President Eisenhower apologizes to Ghanaian Finance Minister Komla Agbeli Gbedemah, who was denied service in a segregated restaurant. It was one of many incidents involving African dignitaries and a factor in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. /1
