The most Republican thing ever is to claim you suddenly care about affordability by giving a speech at a yacht club.

Another secret Paxton recording, and this time he’s admitting he doesn’t even control his own campaign. “I don’t control the message or what we’re doing.” “I’ve never been in a race where I felt less control over the campaign. It’s all coming, you know, from DC.” www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

A CNN investigation has found that while Jared Kushner acted as a key Middle East peace negotiator, his private equity firm held the largest stake in an Israeli company backing businesses tied to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, including its largest arms manufacturer. cnn.it/4AIwBQs

The press will do stories on Republican sex creeps, but it will never, ever point out -- much less make an ongoing narrative out of -- the fact that the GOP has been *ridden* with sex creeps for decades. You have to be blind not to see the pattern.

Justice Alito is confusing a desire to reform the court with an effort to intimidate it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Supreme Court expansion is ‘a concerted effort to intimidate the court,' Justice Alito says
Despite Americans' eroding trust in the Supreme Court, Alito says he's not discussed growing calls for expanding the court and setting term limits.

Imagine if Joe Biden had incoherently rambled about such irrelevancy at that famous debate in Atlanta. But, then again, everyone was expecting Biden to speak with carlity, intelligence, and authority. Donald isn't burdened with such expectations.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

When Joe Biden took office, America’s allies were willing to treat the first Trump term as an aberration. That ship has sailed. The world is no longer waiting for us to come to our senses, and the trust we squandered may take a generation to rebuild if anyone still believes we are capable of it.

This is a book about how completely unprincipled attention hounds will always make their way to the right because they know the right will have them. The NYMag piece? I guess that’s a story about how unprincipled attention hounds deserve attention as long as they’re shitting on democrats.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Good analysis of how podcast bros coopted MAHA and steered the Trump admin's efforts toward the health anxieties of men (protein, testosterone, etc) and away from the priorities of the moms who founded the movement (pesticides, chemical additives in food)
motherjones.com
Women built MAHA. MAGA bros have taken it over.
Forget regulating food—manly MAHA cares about meat, testosterone, and erectile dysfunction.
