Bombshell from NYT’s @teddyschleifer.bsky.social: upcoming filings show that Elon Musk, whose companies hold billions in federal contracts, has already dropped a record $366M on the midterms, much of it to help the Senate GOP. Hard to think of a historical parallel. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

Inside Elon Musk’s $276 Million Midterm Rescue Mission for Republicans

The world’s richest person has quietly become by far the biggest known midterm donor, trying to save Republicans’ Senate majority with some of the largest donations in American political history.

Apparently it’s different in the playoffs but it is definitely possible to lose a regular season OT game without possessing the ball!

Don't be fooled into thinking that a "free market" only exists when corporations get to "self-regulate" and do whatever they want. And don't be led to think that the government is "intruding" into the market when it crafts laws to protect the public. The real issue is power — and who has it.

Finally, if you’re grieving, talk about it. Verb shared the “ball in a box” theory on grief that helped me a lot. But to hackily quote Ted Lasso, “There’s something worse than being sad. And that’s being sad alone.” Humanity (as a verb) is our greatest power, but only when we use it. Love y’all.

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

🚨NEW: In the 9 months after last year’s reconciliation law enacted unprecedented SNAP cuts, the number of people receiving SNAP fell by more than 4.5 million. Based on available data, we estimate that at least 1.5 million fewer kids are receiving SNAP. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

Can't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.

With nearly all votes in, Sen. John Hickenlooper won his primary just 53-47. This got far less attention than the left’s outright wins, but it’s historically bad for an incumbent. Only two Dem senators since 1972 have lost renomination to challengers to their left, & he massively outspent Gonzales

New York Times election results summary for the Democratic primary for Senate in Colorado. Incumbent John Hickenlooper defeated progressive challenger Julie Gonzales by just 53-47 with nearly all votes counted.

The facts of this case are bad. County wrongly claimed family owed $2,000 in taxes, foreclosed on the home, and sold a house it assessed at $190K for just $76K and tried (unsuccessfully) to keep all $76K. Screwed a family out of tens of thousands to collect $2,000 that they didn't actually owe.

Don't be fooled by the fact that none of today's 5 #SCOTUS rulings were "big" ones. Four of them split the Court along its usual 6-3 ideological lines—one of which guts accountability for human rights abuses; one that makes it harder to enforce Spending Clause statutes; and one that's bad for LPRs.

Trump has lied about states that count slow. States that count fast. States that have little mail. States that are all mail. He invented reasons why Cruz didn’t beat him in Iowa, made up false claims about people being into New Hampshire—none of which were about a slow count.
