every time the media gets to ask Abdul El-Sayed a question they ask him to answer for something Hasan Piker said because they once did an event together. Yet the media never asks Republican candidates to answer for Elon Musk, the #1 Republican fundraiser this cycle and of all time. It's odd!

Absolutely insane levels of spending by Elon Musk to help Republicans this fall, the New York Times documents. $276 million just since this summer, most of which to help Senate Republicans. Single-handedly destroying records and swamping Dem candidates. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

I fail to understand why this idea is considered radical.

Every single word of this thread:

I am way too online for my own good, and I had an unreasonably large twitter following, and I really *enjoyed* twitter for a lot of years, and yet leaving there and never looking back was maybe the easiest what-felt-like-a-big-ethical decision I've ever made.

Right, it turns out that instead of letting the Republicans set the terms of the debate, you can simply tell them and their enablers in the media to cram it. El-Sayed has been doing the same thing. It's long overdue.

Not only should brooks and others shut up. But Ossoff is the best example in the country of a Democrat playing dominance politics and using it to control the whole terms of his race.

You can kill as many people as you want, but you target a beautiful precious data center? The one that hosted all 40,000 Sexy Ladies For Ken Paxton accounts?

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

A third #Yandex data center, this time in Vladimir, has been struck. Yandex officially confirmed the facility has completely shut down. Vladimir has a designed capacity of 50 MW and 2,880 server racks. The timeline so far: Oct 8 – Sasovo Oct 9 – Kaluga Oct 11 – Vladimir

Guy who sued his OBGYN patients for unpaid bills as low as $101, charged 18% annual interest and had 81 of his patients arrested for falling behind has a hefty 7-year-old unpaid bakery bill. Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.

Hey Ukraine as an American I say blow that shit up. If our problem was a lack of diesel we'd stop exporting 1.5m barrels/day of it. Trump's fake deal with an imperialist dictator will not impact our diesel prices and should have no impact on your survival strategy.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2d ago

President Trump blamed Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky for stoking his country’s conflict with Russia and said that he should be replaced. He added that he was unhappy about Ukraine’s decision to strike Russian refineries.

El-Sayed’s response to Kennedy:

It’s wild this January 6er actually sat for this interview and said she deserves restitution for her crimes on that day because Trump pardoned her. She can go to hell.

Speaker Johnson, who said he’d take a blow torch to your healthcare is saying if Republicans lose the House he will leave and start a lawn business. Next week I’m going to donate a wheelbarrow to him, so his staff can wheel him out of DC.

NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx told backers on a Zoom call last night that he doesn't regret slamming his wife into a door to teach her a lesson about self-defense. "I'd do it again," Marx said. Marx says she fake cried and physicality is just the nature of their relationship.

MEMPHIS... she's not wrong...😕

It looks like Mike Johnson finally just crawled up in there and nested.

I'm not sure if @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social have issued a statement on this yet, but they should publicly announce that if Russ Vought tries to fuck with the election in any way they will fire him out of a cannon when they take power.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d ago

Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

Bolts@boltsmag.org · 6d ago

Many states require that mail ballots be postmarked by a specific day. But due to a USPS rule announced late last year, voters may need to put their ballot in a mailbox days in advance.

If someone breaks laws and you choose not to hold them accountable, you have effectively rescinded said laws. That applies to constitutions as well. This is an immutable, non-negotiable fact. Any analysis of what Democrats should do once they regain power that does not acknowledge this is worthless

NBC News@nbcnews.com · last wk.

Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel calls on Democratic lawmakers to set aside plans to impeach President Trump if they win a majority in the House, pushing them instead to pass an ethics reform package.

a play in four acts

This is an excellent explanation.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Pro Publica’s bombshell report is as detailed a story about government corruption as you’re going to get. And Susan Collins is right in the middle of it.

More Democrats need to be telling the online casino owners behind Polymarket to shut the fuck up
