Worth noting that Hannity didn't seem to think that speech was a big deal, and he goes into SPECIAL COVERAGE mode every time Trump farts. His show did a quick segment on it, then moved on to the usual culture war slop before going off the air, and he didn't even have any prominent Trumpworld guests.

I enjoyed The Odyssey (2026) but I have one historical nitpick. The phrase “Jiminy Christmas” is a minced oath for “Jesus Christ”. As the story is set around 1200 B.C. it is unlikely that Odysseus would have said the phrase even once, let alone the dozens of times he says it in the film

Here’s a little Thursday motivation. Listen to this granny speak truth to power. This is the attitude we all need. We are going to show up I numbers too big to rig

One doc dumped tonight includes tip to FBI that "China had collected private US user data from millions of TikTok accounts, to include name, ID and address” so Chinese govt could make fake drivers’ licenses to request ballots. Problem w/ conspiracy theory: TikTok doesn’t ask for street address

You openly state that POTUS will interfere with the elections but you won't even say the word impeachment What the hell is wrong with you?

Scenario: Crazed lunatic walks into a room carrying a bloody chainsaw, several hand grenades, and a machine gun. CNN: This guy's intentions might not be peaceful.

1. The Constitution gives states the leading role in running elections. Article I, Section 4 assigns the times, places, and manner of congressional elections to state legislatures. No provision hands the President unilateral authority over how Americans vote.

Just a few reminders: 1) Birthright citizenship is written into the US Constitution. 2) If you don't like birthright citizenship AMEND THE CONSTITUTION. Don't just lie, cheat, and mis-represent both history and language.

I wish people were as willing to vote as they were willing to argue online.

While there are so many glimmers and pockets of goodness ahead, the next few months are going to SUCK. Trump and his team know November will likely be an end of a road for them. They don’t want to lose the keys. But they are our keys, not the kingdom’s.

I’ve lived in Beijing too. They don’t have elections.

Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"

Lovely portrait, although it’s missing some family members.

Creating a permissive environment like this is fun in Hollywood, but they're going to get people killed if they keep doing it. If that makes me "low-T," oh well.

This is at least the third time in recent weeks that U.S. military pilots have engaged in Top Gun-style, "buzz the tower" antics around civilians, all with the permission of Pentagon leadership. It was funny in the movie. It's not funny in real life, where they actually crash and people die. 🧵

AP: US has hit more bridges and apparently a tower at a key Iranian port. Iran launched new missile attacks against US-allied nations in the Middle East, including Qatar, a key mediator in the war.

Many enemies of the United States seek to undermine faith in American elections—but “no regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president did tonight,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues: theatln.tc/2TpBeFGB

Serendipity. Beautiful piece of art while listening to one of my favorite female warriors in our fight for pluralistic, truly equal, liberal democracy. It feels like there’s no end, but Trump will not be forever. Our children & grandchildren deserve this fight. #womensart @hcrichardson.bsky.social

I wrote about Trump's obsession with the 2020 election and what we should pay attention to on Thursday night — The Big Lie, Foreign Interference Edition. Read my full essay at my Substack, Lucid.Substack.Com

Trump recently pushed out the last members of the federal Election Assistance Commission, which had not yet complied with his demands to meet the longtime goal of requiring proof of citizenship to vote.

about the wildfires: water quality can suffer for *years* after wildfires, since ash and contaminants that get left on the surface after a fire can be swept into waterways after big rains or snowmelts. droughts can extend this. spending on water infrastructure not keeping pace with climate crisis

No matter what Donald Trump says tonight, the elections in our country belong to the people. Some thoughts — and what you can do.

The right to vote was never freely given. It was hard won over generations, by people who marched, organized, and faced violence in order to secure it. The President’s speech tonight has again made clear: this work is unfinished.

Ask Claude to make a pamphlet critical of President Donald Trump or Britain's King Charles III, and Anthropic's chatbot would oblige. Prompted to do the same for Thailand's king, Saudi Arabia's crown prince or China's leader, and the artificial intelligence model declined. https://to.pbs.org/4fipAfh

CHICAGO! This Friday, I'll be appearing (virtually) at the City Council's Committee on Immigrant and Refugee Rights meeting at 10:15am CT. Talking about the Stonepeak parking meter deal and its connection to ICE flights. More info on how to attend, IRL or online, here: 40thward.org/city-council...

BREAKING!!! Senate Majority Leader John Thune is stepping in as a cosponsor of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026, giving the bipartisan Russia sanctions push a major leadership boost. The bill now has 60+ Senate backers. 👇

Trump must be impeached for undermining and subverting our free and fair elections. And when he sends ICE agents to the polls, then we must turn civic action into civil disobedience and take to the streets. Sit in. Protest. Withhold our labor. Everything must be on the table.

Great book for socialists & other weirdos to get libbed up as we build a popular front to PUNISH THE VILLAINS & make people’s lives better for real. Heumann details how much substantively better the Clinton & Obama admins were in contrast to Reagan, Bush, Bush 2 & Trump for our disabled fam/friends

FACT: Since Trump has been back in office, he has done everything in his power to dismantle election security. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies

Another Trump "accomplishment." Under Trump, the national debt now exceeds 100% of US GDP for the first time since WWII. Not only that, but the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office predicts it will soon hit 120% of GDP. That is not sustainable. The US is Trump's next bankruptcy.

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

Responding to @beaubaumann.bsky.social’s post today, Prof. Wurman deploys the same rhetoric used against every immigrant group in America. Is this racist, he asks? Judging whether one can be part of America based on a culture’s supposed "capacity" for self-governance is the structure of bigotry.

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."
