Stand with Zelensky and against Putin. Stand with Pope Leo XIV and against ICE. Stand with No Kings and against Meta. Stand with the people and against the oligarchs. Stand with liberal democracy and against Trump.

Actually we were correct to note Trump’s routinely bizarre, obsequious posture toward Putin. Just because you chose not to see it until now when it’s shoved directly in everyone’s face doesn’t make us hysterical, it makes you transparently wrong all along.

There's been a lot of hysteria over the years at Trump's posture towards Russia, which has often been worse rhetorically than practically. But this time, the wolf comes as a wolf.

Lindsay Graham is such a cautionary tale. Even in death, Trump is selling him out to Putin.

Let’s be clear about what’s happening:

Donald Trump is using the Department of Justice to target his political opponents. He wants to draw attention away from his failed leadership weeks before the election. I stand with Ilhan.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

If Milwaukee and Cleveland meet in the World Series, it would be the first time in history that the World Series features two cities where the Edmund Fitzgerald once docked. In case you were wondering.

unfortunately even now too many people can't/won't acknowledge what is obviously true: we have a corrupted, depraved, extremist party, and a normal party with normal political flaws saying so harms some people's relationships or self-image of being even-handed but it's a fact

Troy Jackson is not the most dynamic speaker I've ever heard, but if Maine voters demanded eloquence or charisma from their politicians Susan Collins wouldn't have been serving them in the Senate since the Coolidge administration

@AJentlesonOct 7
Based on tonight’s debate, Collins seems entombed in the category of senators who are past their sell-by dates but remain certain they have a formula—and then find themselves doddering on a debate stage and then, after election day, wondering why that formula didn’t work anymore.

Great ad for Zach Dembo in KY 06 -- and open seat. This is one of those cycles where Dembo could wake up a congressman if we all give him a little help here. Smart to connect him to Matt Bevin, who left office unliked. And a great cameo by @AndyBeshearKY at the end @HouseMajPAC @dccc @KyDems

#KY06: D candidate Zach Dembo is up on TV with this spot featuring a cameo from @AndyBeshearKY -- Dembo to camera: "I'm Zach Dembo and this is my opponent. OK, you got me. That's a cardboard cutout of Matt Bevin. But, Ralph Alvarado is basically the same guy" "He was Bevin's running mate, backed his attacks and seniors, Medicaid and kept silent while Bevin pardoned hundreds of criminals, including a child rapist"

Less than *one month* out from the election, I think Dem accounts with a lot of reach need to decide if they’re more interested in defeating Republicans & helping to defang the last two years of the Trump admin…or furthering their own little pet intra-party/ideological grudges.

Republican staff work is never "shockingly incompetent." It is incompetent by nature because all Republicans live in a world of unreality where facts are optional and research ends when it proves a right-wing point, even if the source is thoroughly disreputable.

Sen. @Eric_Schmitt’s attempt at a Perry Mason moment just blew up in his face in spectacular fashion, after he accused Jack Smith of perjuring himself about a basketball game he never attended. (Smith says he went to a collegiate women’s game in Maryland to watch the Iowa Hawkeyes, not a game in Atlanta to watch the NBA’s Hawks.) Schmitt called Smith a “dirtbag,” just before his line of questioning went up in flames fueled by shockingly incompetent staff work.

I don't think Katie Britt's jaw went slack because she was mortified by Eric Schmitt's humiliating error. I think she (like all Republicans on the panel) knew the whole hearing was an exercise in propaganda and lawfare generation and she was crestfallen to see it fall to pieces.

Schmitt: Who knew jack Smith was a Caitlin Clark fan? We had information he was at a basketball game. There was only one NBA game that night which is why I asked him if he was in Atlanta. He answered the question. That's what these hearings are for. You ask questions, you get answers. Smith has perjured himself before, but he says he's at the game. Maybe he's a Caitlin Clark fan. We'll accept that.

If anyone wants to know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets Schmitt talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Sen. Eric Schmitt mixed up the Atlanta Hawks NBA team with the Iowa Hawkeyes when questioning Jack Smith about a Feb. 3 2024 basketball game. Smith attended the Iowa Hawkeyes game in Maryland as stated, per footage. x.com/MeidasTouch/st… huffpost.com/entry/eric-sch… washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

I can't get over Schmitt's little smile the second Smith says he didn't go the Hawks game. He's fighting down the giggles for the whole rest of the interaction. He really, really thought he had him! He thought today would go down as Eric Schmitt Day!

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. Watch the whole thing:
