Trump referred to bsky.app/profile/drannieandrews.com as "Annie Trannie." It's obnoxious. And Darline Graham is an incompetent. So I just donated to Annie Andrews for South Carolina's Senate seat. www.cnn.com/2026/10/05/p...

The new column by @jilldlawrence.bsky.social makes an important point: Trump routinely incites violence, but tries to mask it in terms of a joke, or not ordering it directly. The result is the same. People die. www.contrariannews.org/p/dont-dismi...

Don’t Dismiss Trump’s Los Angeles-San Diego Comment as a ‘Joke’

No normal American would say those words. A president shouldn’t even think them.

Here's a nearly 10-minute supercut of Troy Jackson taking it to Susan Collins during their debate tonight, including Jackson telling her "you can't eat road salt" and "Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

I hope the progressive left can bring as much attention to the horrors of people being murdered and starved in Ukraine -- where Russia attacked a democracy for no other reason than to conquer it -- as they have to Palestine. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/w...

Caring for aging parents is incredibly difficult, both emotionally and physically. It takes a toll. Help can make the difference, but it's expensive and often out of reach. We need more public assistance to help care for our aging community. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/w...

Leticia James, who I generally think is terrific, is going to regret being appointed to investigate the Cornell rape case. And she made a huge mistake by making a Facebook post about the case when she's investigating it. Her neutrality is now in question. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBgt...

Trump is negotiating the end of the Russia war at the same time the Trump-family is negotiating an oil deal with Russia. Now you understand why Trump told Ukraine to stop bombing Russia's oil fields? Trump foreign policy is Trump self-dealing, and it's corrupt. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

The co-pilot attacked his colleague with an ax, in what appears to be an antisemitic attack. He had radicalized Islamic posts on publicly available social media. He was fired from his old job for being too radical. How could the airline not have known about this guy? www.cnn.com/2026/10/02/w...

In a nutshell, this is the point: People's "lived experience did not match the encouraging economic news, and that disconnect shaped the entire public conversation." This was the problem for Dems. For the GOP, the data AND the lived experience are in the crapper. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/o...

It seems like Susan Collins really doesn’t want the public to know who government contractors make donations to in Congress. Wonder if that has something to do with the quid pro quo of a contractor getting a government contract in exchange for a big political contribution? 🤔
