No better long-term (and now arguably short-term) investment in building power than RFS
With just one race left to call (ballots are still being cured), of 222 races up on 11/4, @runforsomething.net had 142 winners, 10 candidates moving to run offs, and 42 (!!!) red to blue flips.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

We all need to take a step back for a min and try to absorb the insane fact that the White House has a "private whip" operation focused on gerrymandering the Indiana congressional map!

Not a whip team focused on votes to lower drug costs or fixing inflation???

people on the right don’t tend to wait for any information about the motivations of the shooter before blaming the left. But Kirk had enemies on the right too; some of them surely live in Utah. And as with any shooting, the shooter’s motivations may not map onto any coherent politics at all.
Elon Musk, helping as always.

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.
Texas: Your vote matters—and so does your map. And right now, power-hungry politicians are trying to gerrymander it to silence your voices. Join @redistrictfdn.bsky.social for a virtual event to learn how redistricting shapes your vote—and how you can take action. 🔗 www.mobilize.us/allontheline...

Taken at face value, we have here a palm beach hotelier noticing that a local hedge fund manager—a guy who doesn’t run a publicly acknowledged competing hospitality business—keeps hiring the teenage girls out of his spa.
Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.

Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre?

Trump: I think so. He stole her.

lol Trump says press has to "look at" the made up Gabbard stuff and "stop talking about" Epstein. I mean, he's pretty clear about why they're doing this.
Trump: "We caught Hillary Clinton. We caught Barack Hussein Obama ... you ought take a look at that and stop talking about nonsense."

What if everyone eager to throw money at a "liberal joe rogan" that doesn't exist instead bought one failing local newspaper and hired a handful of real reporters and simply told them to go do journalism and print it.
i wish i had the power or the money to like hire thousands of out of work journalists and put them (us?) to work doing what we do best ie chipping and scraping at the lies people in power tell. horse race commenters not welcome

We just went through a half-decade of sham censorship hearings in Congress, but it certainly seems like the government forced a comedian to get fired as a bribe to ensure a merger goes through.

Is that true? Let's have a hearing and find out.
I think like many, many people I find the idea that CBS has just cancelled Colbert out of the blue like this for financial reasons *highly* implausible. He’s the most viewed late night host on TV, and his ratings have been going up.
NEW YORK (AP) — Stephen Colbert tells studio audience CBS is canceling 'The Late Show,' to end in May 2026.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.
On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.

As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.

There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.
