The Fool❌👑

MUST READ: new annual report from the top democracy research outfit on earth It's official: the U.S. is no longer a liberal democracy. We don't have the checks & balances and rule of law it requires. Congrats my fellow Americans: you squandered your inheritance. www.v-dem.net/documents/75...

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Once more - people's chief beef with Democrats that we hear consistently in focus groups and see in surveys is too weak, not too woke.

JD Vance is so humble, he's humble enough to tell everyone how humble he is.

This will be essential to the survival of America. Dems cannot - must not - be allowed to wimp out or otherwise think they won for any reason other than we demand accountability and the restoration of American norms and the Constitution.

Trump is scum and so is Todd Blanche.

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

Republicans in TX were traditionally more accepting of Latinos than many other Republican states. GWB was able to translate this goodwill from his time as governor to a strong showing among Latinos in both his presidential bids. The nightmare for Texas Rs is a Dem leaning mobilized Latino population

Silicon Valley companies that ingratiated themselves with President Trump’s Washington are bracing for the possibility of a Democratic Congress — and with it congressional investigations targeting their dealings with the president and his administration.

It really is too bad that more high-profile Dems didn't come to Elissa Slotkin's defense last week. A huge amount rids on whether the narrative we propound about the election is 1) Dems won to hold Trump accountable or 2) Dems won because prices are too high. 🧵 www.offmessage.net/p/wheres-the...

I love the opening line of this unusually frank NYT "news analysis". It starts, "For months, President Trump has mounted a sustained effort to attack the integrity of U.S. elections..." -- a phrase that has at least 2 completely opposite interpretations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/u...

I hope that a defeat of Flavio Bolsonaro and Darline Graham drives a stake through the heart of nepo-politics, leaving Don Jr. worried and sad.

My summary of the just completed oral argument in the 9th Circuit's emergency hearing on the California ballot segregation demand from DOJ:

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

I still have reservations about the Never Trumpers, but David French is spot on about Vivek Ramaswamy being a despicable piece of shit who needs to be flushed down the national toilet (along with Trump). www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/o...

I would feel bad for the DOJ lawyer getting creamed by this panel but he is taking an evil position and trying to subvert free and fair elections.

So far this argument is a disaster for DOJ, even if Judge Butamay goes along. (We will see what questions he asks to CA and Los Angeles)

Marc Elias says we are in a constitutional crisis right now and that “Donald Trump is trying to steal the midterm elections, and Attorney General Todd Blanche will do whatever he can to help him.” member.democracydocket.com/trumps-plan-...

1/7 I've had it with Jamelle Bouie. He's in the NYT today w/Michelle Cottle & David French & he makes his usual slew of terrible arguments for why he's not worried about the elections.🧵 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/o...

Remember when Media & Political Elite promised US that Trump was tapping into “economic anxiety” not racism?

The Major Questions Doctrine Alone Should Doom DOJ’s Lawsuits in Both Alaska and California:Congress Would Not Hide Broad Federal Powers over State Elections in A Law Making Noncitizen Voting a Misdemeanor or in General Language in Registration Statute’s Preamble electionlawblog.org/2026/the-maj...

Many pundits and strategists are basically denying that this blatant Islomophobia is even happening. They're trying to argue that Abdul El-Sayed will perform a few points behind other Democrats because he's Too Far Left. The GOP isn't even attacking his policy positions! It's entirely about identity

Because we're not unhinged and delusional. Based on government and independent analyses, right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for the overwhelming majority of fatalities, amounting to approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths since 2001. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Don't forget the drop dead argument vs Trump's Big Dumb Lie re the 2020 election, the thing that none of the election deniers can explain & exposes them as liars: EVEN Trump's corrupt, dishonest, partisan AG, Bill Barr, said the election was clean & quit b/c EVEN he couldn't be part of such a lie.

This is so awesome

When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

Trump is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vladimir Putin

This was always going to happen. My guess is that Trump will issue a blanket pardon for every political appointee. Signaling a move like this will embolden his underlings to disregard and break the law. And that's the point.

Don't listen to the anti-doomers. Trump has been waging a multifront war on this election. From gerrymandering to mail ballots to seizing GA ballots to commandeering voter rolls to ordering around CA. Now they're threatening state certification. MUST WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cszr...
