This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

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

So if you’re furious as you fill up your tank, just remember Exxon is making a lot of money off you.

NEW: DOJ just admitted in court that their lawsuit against California is not about outcome determinative issues, it's simply saying that a single non-citizen voting causes the government irreparable harm. That's bananapants.

The Trump Administration has advocated for Viktor Orbán to be UN Secretary-General, WSJ reports.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

French police protecting fascist militants.

Homeland Security agents knocked on doors in nine states asking people about voting. Some carried guns. Nurses sued. A federal judge ordered DHS to stop until the polls close. Trump’s regime needed a court order to quit scaring voters. Think about that.

OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

Here’s something you should know about minks: They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people. They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19. Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

Govt succinctly lays down its marker: POTUS can gut any citizen's lawsuit to enforce federal environmental laws, despite Congress's express intent. (From filing to dismiss NAACP's Clean Air Act suit against Musk's gas-turbine-powered Colossus datacenter near Memphis.)

This administration and Hegseth have abandoned our troops. We need to conduct oversight and ensure that our servicemembers have the support and resources they need. Hegseth should resign.

Blaze engulfs Hitler’s ‘Eagle’s Nest’ mountain retreat in Bavaria

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Harold Cruse challenged every orthodoxy about how to improve the lot of Black Americans. His ideas are still seeking a serious audience, writes Vincent W. Lloyd.

it’s amazing how these billionaire tech freaks *love* mainstream sci-fi and superhero movies, and also manage to completely miss the incredibly unsubtle and heavy-handed “we need to protect human creativity and freedom” moral that essentially all those movies are imbued with

Trump’s grip on rural America may be cracking. With diesel prices high and fertilizer costs soaring, a Farm Journal survey found 39% of farmers were considering voting for the other party, sitting out the midterms, or were undecided. Only 6% typically vote Democratic. That should terrify the GOP.

Fidelity to the Administration, not the statutes or the Constitution: and again, the problem is that like all censorship regimes, it places pressure on the advice people are willing to give in dangerous or sensitive circumstances.

Non-stop Russian terror attacks are continuing all across Ukraine, as Russians use their control of the White House to scale up masssacres. Here Russians target civilian commuter traffic, automobiles on a highway in southern Kyiv.

I feel like it should be a much bigger story that in early 2025 the MAGA regime requested a cybersecurity agency to secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it and directed them to not alert the voting machine company if it uncovered flaws. That’s called setting up for rigging an election.

Russia was never a hoax

Absolutely. 👇

When Democrats win the House, they must investigate Elon Musk and bar future government contracts! My article lays out the why: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/when-democ...

Energy Secretary Wright is campaigning with Ken Paxton today in Texas. A reminder that government officials partaking in campaign events should not be normal.

Traitors. All of them.

They're weirdly pressing two kinds of white supremacist lies at once -- some non-white immigrants are poverty-wracked criminals who are eating our dogs and cats, but other non-white immigrants are rich elites who are buying up mansions and flying first class. Pick a fucking lane, you clowns.

Some folks online recently bumped into my autobiography without knowing there had actually been one. And while searching other topics today on NPR I bumped into one of the reviews of said book, which I took as a sign to link it here for the curious. www.npr.org/2019/07/23/7...
