I can’t believe Abdul El-Sayed would accept a $400 million jet from the largest financial backer of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Oh, wait. That was Donald Trump.

"'All four [electric distribution companies] submitted incomplete disclosures, leaving gaps of missing votes and incomplete explanations,' BPU President Ben Hertz-Shargel said at the board’s meeting this week ..." (1/)

Cheesecake Factory populism is so weird to me because the rise of chain restaurants created over-the-top, replicable dining experiences, which eventually put the final squeeze on mom-and-pop restaurants, such as the US version of trattorias. I would argue those family-owned neighborhood businesses made the dining experience feel more special and pulled communities together. The shift to chain restaurants homogenized American life and concentrated corporate power. Strange to frame corporate consolidation as "populism."

There ain’t a hunting Ed instructor on earth that wouldn’t reprimand a dude who points the muzzle at …. His wife!! Sheezus.
Also…pheasants limit is 3….unless you go to a farm where they raise them like chickens for greenhorns to shoot.

So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?
Elon Musk has cemented his record as the largest individual political donor in modern American history.
Musk poured $446 million of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, mostly aimed at preserving the Republican Party’s control of Congress. wapo.st/4igb5Kq

Alaskans don’t need any help voting for their preferred candidates, and the State of Alaska has already handled this by clearly distinguishing the candidates on this year’s ballot. The Department of Justice should never have filed this lawsuit.

This is *actually* the darkest part — she hasn’t made an issue of childhood abuse, and Vivek the Worst ran an ad of her pedo-rape-enabling mother accusing her of lying **about being raped by her mom’s pedo boyfriend**

Hot take: A stable block of non-polarized voters that have truly no idea what is happening in politics and don't see that knowledge as personally defining, but still show up to vote based on their lived experience, are essential to a functional democracy.
New: Low-info voters, who put Trump in the White House, now look even more anti-Trump than high-info voters, and give Dems bigger margins on the generic ballot.
1 out of 3 Trump voters who can't name the party in charge of Congress now back Dems for 2026

Republican Lt. Gov of Utah Deidre Henderson is refusing to hand over her state's voter data to the Trump administration. So the Trump administration is retaliating against her -- threatening her personally with criminal charges.

This is a pretty flimsy lawsuit, but notable that the administration is preemptively trying to challenge a Democratic win in #AKsen.

At last week's debate the bigot Congressman Mike Collins refused to commit to stopping neo-Nazi propaganda from being produced on his property. And this morning CNN reports the production of white nationalist and antisemitic content from Collins’ property has continued. In 11 days Georgians will pass judgment on the bigot Congressman Mike Collins … and end his career.
NEW: Mike Collins previously suggested hanging U.S. military and political leaders from a helicopter and joked about pushing Pelosi out of a plane. We also uncovered another antisemitic post from a business recently launched by his son-in-law. edition.cnn.com/2026/10/23/p…

There are more utility lobbyists in Arizona than legislators. At the very least, we need transparency. We also need no ratepayer funds used to support candidates.
APS has spent nearly $400,000 in political contributions this year alone. 3/4 of that has gone to republicans. And we wonder why it seems like they have so much influence. energyandpolicy.org/utility-… #aps #energy #elections

Zelensky: The way Trump talks about me, he needs to adopt that kind of rhetoric about Putin.
He's got sanctions on his desk. Congress voted for strong sanctions. I don't know why he is not doing it. Maybe they have a special relationship. Maybe something else. I can only guess

When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs.
After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.
