Amy Acton's estranged mother lost custody of her children after her second husband was charged with rape and indicted by a grand jury. In court, Amy's mother stood by her husband instead of her twelve-year-old daughter. They haven't spoken since that day in court, nearly 50 years ago.
Politics has become such a disappointing sport of outrage-fueled mud-slinging, personal attacks targeting families, and blatant lies designed to divide. Candidates should debate the issues and focus on convincing voters that their plans and leadership will make life better. That's what politics should be about: bringing people together. Stunts like today's attack ad against Dr. Acton are beneath anyone seeking to lead. nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/po…

10 years ago today @HillaryClinton nailed the bleak future ahead if Trump was elected.
“Clinton: Putin would rather have a puppet as president. You won't admit the Russians engaged in cyberattacks against the US, that you encouraged espionage against our people, that you spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants you to do.”
Every word is true. Tragically, his capitulation to Russia is even worse than imagined.

Hear us out: The richest person in the world should not be allowed to dump hundreds of millions to affect the midterm elections.
This is not a radical idea. We need campaign finance reform. wired.com/story/elon-musk-is…

Reminder: Trump pardoned a Virginia Republican sheriff who took $75,000 in bribes in exchange for badges. He'd been sentenced to 10 years and the pardon came just hours before he was to report to prison.
This is far and away the most corrupt White House in our nation's history.

What can I say?
On this, @SenSanders is right.
This is what billionaire ownership of the media means:
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta shut down the No Kings account for hours during the height of their protests.
Meta suppressed accounts supporting Brazil President Lula da Silva in the recent election.
Larry Ellison’s TikTok blocked advertising for a documentary criticizing Elon Musk.
Fight back. Defeat oligarchy. Preserve democracy.

Mr. Trump is now Mr. Putin’s best friend in the world, after perhaps China’s Xi Jinping. When the election is over there needs to be a bipartisan reckoning for Mr. Trump’s budding alliance with the Kremlin against Ukraine, Europe and American interests.

Elon Musk has spent $366 million boosting Republicans since 2024.
"Not too long ago, Musk’s splurge would have been flatly illegal. A reckless Supreme Court and moribund Federal Election Commission took care of that. It should be made illegal again." brennancenter.org/our-work/a…

We reviewed FBI documents that showed a sweeping pay-to-play investigation involving Sen. Susan Collins was in motion. Then Trump shut down the unit in charge.
Had we found a road map to corruption in Congress? We decided to dig deeper.

Now that @AbdulElSayed has been asked to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood because of his mother’s alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood before he was born, will we be asking Donald Trump to disavow the Ku Klux Klan because of his father’s alleged ties to the KKK in the 1920s?

Reminder: Thom Tillis, John Cornyn, and Bill Cassidy are all current sitting Senators. They have the ability to do more than complain and put out statements. If they don’t act now, when they have real power, I don’t want to see them on TV in four months opining.

CNN put 60 Texans in a room: 20 Democrats, 20 independents, 20 Republicans. James Talarico took their questions for 90 minutes. Ken Paxton was invited too. CNN says he never even responded. dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-we…

Tommy is a Republican operative whose dad is probably the most prominent Republican strategist from Louisiana. Thank you for your bravery young man!

Republicans are running a guy for Congress in Nevada who operates an online forum filled with Nazis, white supremacists, and racial slurs.
Can we stop pretending the GOP doesn’t have a massive problem with Nazis and white supremacists!?

I encourage people to watch the video and hear for themselves that El-Sayed says he “absolutely” denounces the Muslim Brotherhood, and goes on to explain that he supports the Constitution. What’s more newsworthy is a CBS reporter trafficking in bigoted disinformation.

Amazing how many people here are completely misrepresenting El-Sayed’s comments. He said he “absolutely” disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood. It seems to be a cynical ploy to mislead those too lazy to listen for themselves.

Funny how Dr. Oz being Muslim never bothers MAGA. I’ve never heard Trump call Dr. Oz “Mohammed.” But Abdul El-Sayed being Muslim is suddenly a huge fucking problem.
