Nothing about this currently on the homepage of the NYT; a brief article appears elsewhere. The Washington Post hasn't run anything at all. bsky.app/profile/mari...

Spent the weekend knocking doors and turning out voters alongside folks across Wisconsin. A Democratic trifecta is within reach. Now we’ve got to bring it home. Come knock doors with us. You don’t need a perfect speech. Just show up. 👉 mobilize.us/wisdems/

“covert surveillance inside houses of worship… “interrogations of churches’ staff… “ICE agents hauled off a nun who was wearing her habit and walking down the sidewalk en route to Sunday Mass… “suing a Catholic diocese in New Mexico to seize 14 acres of their land…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

This is why you should invest in media: pushing politics via media is the best way to lean into the consciousness of low info voters. It’s the whole reason Ailes and Murdoch created Fox News

“Before July 2025, one of the food bank’s locations served between 20 and 40 families per day, he said. Now, more than 260 families come in daily for help…”

Anna Paulina Luna voted six times to continue the Iran war. Now we might know why. Her husband owns 10% of Nokturnal AI, a drone startup she valued at just $1,000 in 2025 that has since raked in $37 million in Pentagon contracts. Coincidence? We don’t think so. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

50 years ago, the Attorney General went to prison for committing crimes to cover up the criminal actions of the President of the United States. The fallout from Watergate led to the building of a wall of independence at DOJ that lasted half a century. That wall has been shattered by Trump's people.

The woman responsible for the Civil Rights Division at the United States Justice Department says she’s “indictment maxxing”

Why read past headlines: Receipts. I document how extensive and frankly obsessed right-wing media is with running articles about the evils of kids who cut off their parents. I spoke with an expert who explained why MAGA is so fixated on this. www.salon.com/2026/10/23/r...

Cool story, bro.

Here’s Daniel Kimmage’s message to his colleagues, fired because their mission of fighting foreign propaganda was “severely misaligned” with Trump administration priorities. “Hold your head high.” Watch the rest: www.thewayfinder.net/p/is-the-us-..., on YouTube, or on your favorite podcast app.

Even more concerning, some of the agents appear to be acting independently, performing actions that users did not request or automate. trib.al/VOGrd48

"The past two years are all the proof you need that sitting out an election because the better candidate happens to not be perfectly to your liking is completely stupid and self-destructive."

literally everything this government does

HHS is hardly the only part of the administration that’s misused AI, but RFK Jr’s department has suffered more than its share of humiliations. After the first incident, it’s tempting to think these guys would’ve learned a lesson. After four incidents, they have no excuses www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The only way Elon Musk could kill more Ukrainians is to send them a bunch of Teslas with autopilot.

Steve Witkoff to Putin: You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again.

This 👇 had me yelling YES!! over my coffee this morning. A decade of feeling like the only adult in a room full of 10 year old bullies.

I’m in touch with friends part of a group of 33 American citizens — including many rabbis & a soon-to-be-congressman — currently detained by the IDF because they were… peacefully harvesting olives in the West Bank with Palestinians & Israelis. Awaiting updates. @truahrabbis.bsky.social

WashPost reports on how Trump and his associates are aiding Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s civilians: “Since the summer, Ukraine has been running critically low on Patriot missiles, leaving its population exposed to Russia’s near-daily ballistic attacks.”

Before anyone overflows with sympathy for Elizabeth Holmes, let's remember what her company did to Ian Gibbons, which they tried to do to every other whistleblower. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Gib...

Evidence clearly shows that Trump directed the sabotaging of Ukraine's StarLink systems in order to help Russian ballistic missiles reach their targets (Ukrainian civilians) with no defensive interference. He has blood on his hands. www.ft.com/content/e267...

Mark Zuckerberg shuts down the No Kings account on their protest day and insists it's a "honest error." Likelihood that his claim is truthful? Zero percent. www.newsweek.com/no-kings-pro...

Zuckerberg's own employees confirm that he directed an intentional effort to throw the Brazilian election in favor of Flávio Bolsonaro, apparently because he understood this is what Trump wanted. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

‘No Kings’ rallies draw a crowd in Eugene, pushing back against Trump, urging people to vote early By Lillian Schrock-Clevenger

Ultra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.

The DOJ is using its new Religious Liberty Commission to codify denial of the church-state wall into federal policy, and calling for dramatic expansions of public/workplace mechanisms to fight "anti-Christian bias." Gift link: www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

🚨🚨 Schocking betrayal but there it is. Sources confirm that the order to limit #starshield for #ukraine's battle operations came from inside the #whitehouse and by logical extension from #trump himself. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

How is it called a merger when the same guy runs both and seems to have a history of combining companies to hide fishy finances?

… why does the US have over 2 million of its citizens incarcerated!?!?!? What is particularly striking is that the U.S. isn't merely 20% or 30% above comparable democracies. We're incarcerating people at several times their rates. www.instagram.com/reel/Ddma1F6...
