VP Kamala Harris: The midterms are going to happen, and our ability to put people in Congress who will say no will be powerful and help right away. Why are they going through such effort to make it so difficult for people to vote? It's because they know your power and they're afraid of it.
You can’t describe it. But in the bleachers, on the concourse, at bars, on living room couches inside of homes, you can feel it. The Milwaukee Brewers are making you believe. Aren't they? www.jsonline.com/story/sports...
they are all walking advertisements for a steep wealth tax and reupping the estate tax

Trump has cut off intelligence to Ukraine so that Putin can more easily bomb civilians including children.
Troy Jackson: "Sen. Collins says that she voted against it 9 times, but she didn't have the votes. Well, that sounds like then we probably ought to have Democrats in charge of the Senate so we have the votes to stop this war and hold Donald Trump in check. It sounds like Republicans won't do that."
Troy Jackson: "She is the chair of appropriations. If she wants to stop the war, she could cut the funding off for the war, but she's not she is not willing to do that because Donald Trump wants this."
Assume an American president was in Putin’s pocket. What would they do differently than Trump? @nytimes 🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/13/w...
There’s a major problem with Katie Zacharia’s claim: In 2011, the year she graduated from Pepperdine Law and moved to Beijing, China’s Ministry of Justice expressly required anyone registering for the National Judicial Examination to “have nationality of the People’s Republic of China.” Oopsie.

If Democrats regain control of Congress, they will need to focus not only on alleviating high prices but also on eliminating a major cause of those high prices — Trump's pay-to-play corruption and cronyism. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-crucial-connection
just think -- Scott Jennings couldn't beat THAT out for the press secretary job 😆
I urge you to support Ilhan Omar’s campaign for reelection. If Democrats regain control of the House, they must investigate this flagrant abuse of power against her by Trump, Vance, and the Department of Justice. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-and-vances-islamophobic-target

Contrast this with the lack of serious punishment Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller got, whose conduct was far worse. Scheller then got a senior appointment in the Pentagon from Hegseth.
I completely agree. The execution and the raid on Omar’s house are meant to scare people into submission, & broadcast dominance. I discussed this on my Friday morning podcast. I also agree that it’s making people angry. It will backfire. m.youtube.com/watch?v=9wUY...

Cheryl Rofer@cherylrofer.bsky.social · 14h agoIt didn't occur to me, but I think that Joanne and @hcrichardson.bsky.social are right that scaring people is part of it. The search of Ilhan Omar's house is also intended to scare. But I think they are making people angry more than they are scaring them.
The most corrupt and unethical president in US history by far.
Zelenskyy says Ukraine received no warning from partners before Russia’s overnight attack with 100+ drones and missiles, incl 5 ballistic strikes on civilian infrastructure in Kyiv. Ukraine had paused refinery strikes for 2 days after Trump’s energy ceasefire announcement, Russia continued attacks.
Nothing says democracy quite like seeing murderous Dictator Putin’s empire burning.
