🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

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...

BREAKING: Judge Reyes issues a preliminary injunction in the East Potomac Golf Course case, blocking more tree removal and requiring 10-day notice "before making any irreparable modification to any forms or features" of the park. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/golf-argum...

"The antivax guy with the brain worms who once staged a dead bear cub underneath a bicycle in Central Park and who also is the US secretary of health espouses a theory about the inferiority of Arabs" is a completely accurate summary of a news item today

Today in Mississippi, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Scott Colom showed up to meet and talk with Trump supporters who were in line for the president's rally with incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. Read more about the race: www.mississippifreepress.org/meet-the-can...

Can Trump supporters define communism? Here's a sneak peek at @jordanklepper.bsky.social’s new special, Red Flags, premiering Monday at 11:30/10:30c on Comedy Central.

Maybe you should focus on what your VP’s real name is.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.

oh my god ballot initiatives too. "yes, let's require ordinary voters parse this highly complex legalese likely written to be intentionally dishonest." crazy system bsky.app/profile/benf...

yes the Electoral College is even dumber still. like it's possible to lose the popular vote 4-1 and still win the presidency. complete madness lol bsky.app/profile/hell...

like table stakes to be able to even understand what is going on is being aware of the Senate filibuster, a thing that is so deranged that it wouldn't even occur to someone to design it on purpose and is nowhere in the Constitution

I kinda suspect American voters are likely dumber than average in democracies because our system is so complicated and nonsensical

I don’t think they have a single policy proposal that isn’t based on weird reactionary grievance. They won’t want to build anything, just tear things down.

Can confirm, Sarah Stogner told me the other day that she intends to send subpoenas to individuals and groups associated with the fraudulent transgender mailers www.texastribune.org/2026/10/22/t...

This is 👀 “Kushner’s counsel, however, said Kushner did not make any agreements or arrangements with leaders or officials in foreign countries that were not agreed to by the President of the United States and in the best interests of the United States.”

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Who needs the tourism revenue from RAGBRAI, a massive weeklong ride across Iowa, that is the largest cycling event in the world?

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

As recently as last month, the Alt National Park Service was amplifying election misinformation. For god's sake, don't trust them. They're just click farmers.

ICYMI, LA Taco has parted ways with two of its most fearless ICE reporters, Memo Torres and Izzy Ramirez (@eltragon.bsky.social and @izzymirez.bsky.social on here). Neither says why, but it sounds like it was sudden and involuntary.

Deep dive: Nearly 200 people granted pardons or other clemency by President Trump for Jan. 6 riot prosecutions are suing so far for millions in US payouts. More than a quarter were convicted of assaulting or impeding police, court records show. (Gift link) buff.ly/xysKWb4

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

oligarch media all the way down and the democrats wont invest in any. we're fucked. www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

NEW, from Bloomberg News: “Elon Musk has now given more than $445 million in the current election cycle.”

An exclusive excerpt from ‘Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East’ by Matthew Cole examines how bank accounts linked Kushner to Israel, the UAE and Saudi Arabia: vanityfair.visitlink.me/qHPzPB

Jared Kushner’s Hacked Phone Revealed His Secret Negotiations—Including More Than $700 Million In Transfers

The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms in order to protect girls from sexual predators are now calling a child rape victim, whose mother lost custody due to that abuse, a liar. loathsome

NEW: Remarkable scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade tonight. Over a quarter of a million join the student-led protest against the Vucic government. It comes ahead of Sunday’s parliamentary election. (🎥 Vladan Milojevic)

He likely did speak to the Google CEO about this — this is what he's spending his time on

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

We are documenting takes from some of the worst people imaginable over at mediamatters.org

I am an NIH scientist (though not a source for the NYT article). RFK Jr is undermining NIH research. He is risking lives, at home and abroad, to further his dangerous anti-vax agenda.

Very telling to watch where the for-profit companies running America's brutal system for detaining and purging undocumented residents see it as useful to donate

"Vulnerabilities with the severity the advisories are describing have the potential to inflict major damage across the Internet. Admins should remain aware that the patches can be released at any moment and remain vigilant until they do."

Man, tomorrow is going to be a disaster

Wow — 🔥 Neil Bush: “I voted for @jamestalarico.bsky.social… Trump and those who have enabled him have done enormous damage to the Republican Party… Character matters more than party affiliation.”

As one of the candidates featured in these polls - the infamous one in late June that showed me plummeting into single digits (which was at odds with our internals) - here's the impact of this "experiment"

This is a reminder of the ways in which you can influence betting markets with fake scams, at a time where big news outlets like CBS News are incorporating these markets into their coverage and graphics.

the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!

He should not be allowed to have any government contracts--he is operating like a rogue state.

Two thoughts: This false, despicable ad is proof that Vivek Ramaswamy knows he is about to lose to Amy Acton. No mother who loves her daughter would do this. Her complicity reveals her.

The attack ad against Acton is another in a long list of right-wing gotchas that have blown up in their face -- Eric Schmitt's attack on Jack Smith, the conspiracy that Talarico was in rehab, Tommy's heckling of El-Sayed, etc etc. Their echo chambers keep convincing them to do incredibly dumb shit

new from me today www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

man it's nice for one of these to not turn into a big beat-the-polls surprise for the fascist lunatic side for once
