Fearmongering and doomsaying are voter suppression tools. If you're out here spreading conspiracy theories about trump stealing the midterms, you're either a dupe or a troll. Either way, you're serving trump's agenda. Stop it.

If you've got enough time to waste on Internet conspiracy theories about how MAGA is going to steal the election, you've got enough time to volunteer to help elect more Democrats.

Yep. It's completely irresponsible. But people still treat CNN like a legitimate news organization. The best you could possibly say is that it's infotainment.

That isn't a thing he can do. This is literally just something they made up and CNN is acting like it's real.

NEW: We’re suing the Trump administration. Trump personally ordered his administration to use taxpayer dollars to fund political propaganda. This is an illegal and desperate attempt to boost the GOP ahead of the midterms, and we’re fighting back.

ABC lawyer says Trump administration threats are working, and that editorial decisions “are being affected right now” in coverage of the midterm elections “that the American public has a right to hear about.” Kudos for transparency, but fuck you for obeying in advance. deadline.com/2026/10/abc-...

Lexus just introduced their first EV. We test-drove one. It is 100% a luxury EV. And the price is in line with other Lexus sedans. Maybe not "affordable" in the sense of "cheap," but for people who plunked down the change for a big SUV and are getting hammered at the pump, it could be doable.

Yes, inviting Iran to attack American cities is treason, but I'm also pretty sure he's also lost the ability to tell San Diego from San Francisco. Why else would he ask Iran to destroy CA's most conservative city?

You know, lost amidst the treason is the fact that I'm pretty sure he meant San Francisco, but his addled brain latched onto the most conservative city in CA instead.

Whether it’s Donald Trump banning media outlets he doesn’t like from the White House or the Oberlin student Senate banning use of racial epithets during student debates, both sides have a free speech problem.

Probably not a coincidence that Trump is banning multiple media outlets from the White House at the same time that we have confirmation that the White House has been lying about military casualties in this illegal war in Iran.
