Regardless of the politics of an individual race, I always find it heartening when the candidate with a lopsided money advantage doesn't win.

This is who the Repub led Senate wants to confirm as the US AG in the next couple days. It’s not about following laws—it’s about controlling women and girls with no regard to health outcomes. WE ARE NOT OUTRAGED ENOUGH! We need to flip 4 Senate seats. Please help get out the VOTE in NOV!

Mike Johnson is terrified Democrats will win back the House because he knows exactly what comes next: Real investigations, real oversight, real accountability for Donald Trump, his family, his Cabinet, his donors, and everyone else who has abused government power for personal gain.

Bessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."

President Trump promotes the book of notorious POS Alan Dershowitz.

The US military while conducting a GPS jamming exercise could have caused a civilian aircraft to crash into the side of a mountain, killing everyone on board.

NEW: Maryland Democrats just passed a constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map for 2028 in response to Republican gerrymanders elsewhere. If voters pass it in November, Democrats could enact a map like this earlier proposal to target the lone Republican, Andy Harris

Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social · 6d ago

Maryland Democrats have unveiled their constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map for 2028 if voters approve it in November. It would insulate congressional maps from legal challenges and specify that existing restrictions on maps only apply to state Senate/House maps

Nearly two dozen states asked SCOTUS to keep Trump’s anti-mail voting order blocked, saying it poses “extraordinary threats to our democracy.” Under the EO, USPS would refuse to deliver ballots to states that do not hand over a list of voters who requested a mail ballot. https://demdock.com/3RwjJvf

You may not believe this, but Todd Blanche is not being completely honest here:

Don’t Believe Todd Blanche About Trump’s Slush Fund From Hell

The attorney general nominee did not kill off Trump’s egregiously corrupt fund, even if he duped Sens. Cornyn and Tillis into thinking he had.

ARE WE BEING SHUT OUT?

According to the White House, I am a "far-left loser who clearly suffers from a severe and debilitating disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain." C'mon everybody, I think it's more like a Brazil nut. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-is-dro...

NEW: Republican officials were set to vote on a plan to cut almost half of Election Day voting locations in Tarrant County, a major Texas battleground county. But all that changed when outraged voters who packed the meeting room demanded their voting locations remain open.

This stuff is going into overdrive the day after the midterms. He’s going to put his name and face on everything.

Somebody needs to sit him down on the floor with a coloring book and crayons.

“My REAL Polling Numbers, not those made up by the Fake News Media, are the best they have ever been…”

A federal appeals court has ruled the EPA “likely acted unlawfully” in canceling billions of dollars in Biden-era climate grants. The funding remains temporarily frozen while the Trump administration decides whether to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

According to Axios, (for whatever that's worth,) Trump is defending Miller publicly but he called him Monday night to privately tell him his reelection is looking tough. Deadline to replace him on the ballot is end of day. www.rawstory.com/max-miller-2...

Trump's secret late-night call to accused lawmaker leaks: 'Things aren't looking good'

MARSHA: “There are a lot of counties in this state that have said they want to recruit (data centers).” 🤔 @MarshaBlackburn & Mayor Glenn Jacobs hide behind calling it a “local issue” to WJHL — but she has made it clear as governor she’ll sell Tennessee out first chance she gets.

🚨BREAKING: Nearly a year after voting advocates launched a campaign to prevent a GOP gerrymander from taking effect in Missouri, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins officially blocked the citizen-initiated referendum on the new map from appearing on the ballot. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Missouri blocks anti-gerrymander referendum from November ballot in attempt to silence voters

Voter advocates are expected to immediately challenge the move and ask the courts to ensure that Missouri voters have the final say on the map.

Tapper: Senator Moreno said on Sunday that you have admitted privately that you need to get help. Miller: That’s projection. Tapper: Have you ever said that? Miller: No, not to him. Tapper: To anyone? Miller: I think a lot of people within this country see a therapist

Here is the good news: DOJ is now 0-20 in lawsuits to gain access to voter files and tomorrow is the 90th day before the election which means states can't purge voters -- even if DOJ wants them to. The bad news: Trump won't give up trying to use DOJ to undermine the elections.

Miller is a piece of shit. But be cautious about calling family photos of nude toddlers "CSAM." I've written about lives ruined over allegations that turned out to be harmless photos of kids taking a bath or running naked through the house. Moreno is already calling for prosecutions, here.

Max Miller’s lawyer admits to accidentally releasing ‘private images’ of daughter

Lawyers for ex-wife Emily Moreno said possible “Child Sexual Abuse Material” was included in a trove of documents the Ohio lawmaker publicly posted.

Oh shit I never seen El-Sayed in action, that's a good looking man why is he wasting his time in politics. Leave this shit to the uggos

“My guy wants to put a data center in your backyard either to give himself gender-affirming care and make a muscle video, or to portray me as a…hero?" Abdul El-Sayed reacts to Republican Mike Rogers' AI ad showing him, Mamdani, AOC, and Bernie as communists inside a Trojan Horse:

TAPPER: The story says when you were picked up for drunk driving, you have ecstasy in your system. When is last time you used illegal drugs? MILLER: I mean, the last time -- I don't know, several years ago? TAPPER: Two? 20? MILLER: This is testosterone replacement theory. Secretary Hegseth ...

Well he seems like he would fit right in with the Trump administration. Another piece of 💩

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 22h ago

TAPPER: Do you know what a tall order it is to believe that 3 women who don't know each other made up accusations of you being violent, and you are telling the truth and they are all lying? That's difficult to believe, right? MAX MILLER: No. Not in this instance.

Tapper: "Your ex-wife said your daughter said, 'Daddy angry,' and 'Daddy's house is scary.'" Rep. Max Miller: "She can't string together sentences like that. She's two-and-a-half." Tapper: "You just told me that she had said she was scared to go to 'mommy's house'...That doesn't make sense."

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."
