The allegation that James Talarico disappeared to a mental health facility was a malicious lie. But on the bright side, Paxton and his right-wing cohorts just handed Talarico a TON of free media attention and publicity. Complete idiocy. 🤡

Oh my god... Annie Andrews just NUKED Darline Graham with "DATA CENTER DARLINE" on live TV. 💥 Graham's response? Clutching her pearls over "name calling"... Yeah, the same woman who time and time again refused to condemn Trump for nicknaming Annie.

With Israel’s election two weeks away, Lesley Stahl travels to the West Bank, where militant Israeli settlers have carried out violent attacks against the Palestinians, often with impunity. The Israeli government is unwilling to crack down on the violence.

"The government is legally forbidden by a court order from converting the Roxbury site to a detention facility... But an NPR investigation has found signs that the facility is being used. The state's Office of the Attorney General is looking into similar reports..." www.npr.org/2026/10/08/n...

Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee Robert Garcia says Democrats will investigate the alleged pay-to-play scheme involving Kimberly Guilfoyle. “It’s just emblematic of probably what is likely happening in so many other parts of the government. People are engaged in massive corruption”

Trump is STILL using your tax money to pay for his ads in competitive districts even though he said he wouldn’t and had hundreds of millions in his Super PAC he refuses to spend on anyone.

PSA, Colorado voters: Elon Musk’s America PAC has been sending misleading texts saying, “Your ballot request is in,” and asking voters to confirm where and when to return it. The messages have prompted confused residents to contact county election offices.

Former VP Mike Pence: “President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.”

Up until 2025, the FBI was circling around Susan Collins. Then, Donald Trump got elected and made the investigation go away. Now Collins is voting with Trump 96% of the time. Funny how that works.

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

More Than 500 U.S. Citizens Have Been Detained, Including Handcuffed or Held at Gunpoint, in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown — ProPublica

The government doesn’t track how often immigration officers detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve found more th
