New Republic: With weeks until the midterms, Trump appears to be in hot water over the Iran war & diesel prices. While Trump isn’t actually on the ballot this time around, he has made every effort to make voters feel like he is. Tell Trump, "You're Fired!" #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Senate Republicans just voted to BLOCK a report investigating the deaths of 9 Americans killed in the West Bank. They literally chose to cover up the slaughter of their own fellow citizens abroad to protect political allies. Absolute betrayal of American lives. Demand accountability & vote them OUT!

A couple weeks ago someone said if he hacked into a government system, he'd be put in prison. But when OpenAI does it, they send an "apology letter" & there are no consequences. Our 2-tier justice systems are trash. They enable the development of psychopaths who learn the laws don't apply to them.
OpenAI apologises for hacking Australia's healthcare system and reveals extent of attack.

Paxton is objectively correct. The line on this chart represents the day of Trump’s midterm convention. It was clearly an inflection point that backfired badly on Republicans.
Silver Bulletin chart titled “Are Democrats or Republicans winning the race for Congress?” showing the polling average for the 2026 generic congressional ballot from early 2025 through September 2026. The line begins with a Republican advantage in early 2025, crosses into Democratic territory around spring 2025, and generally rises through 2026, ending at a Democratic advantage of 8.9%. A vertical annotation near the far right marks the Republican Midterm Convention in September 2026. After this line, the Democratic advantage surges.
