Historians need to capture the deep darkness and evil of the Trump administration and his enablers as well as the debilitating shame the rest of us feel psychologically and physically. I have waves of utter despair but know that is their intent. I will not stop fighting.

electric toothbrushes were originally made for people with disabilities but now everyone uses them. the same with velcro, & even curb cuts, which were designed for wheelchair users, but now useful to cyclists & pram-pushing mothers. rights for a subgroup can end up benefiting all

Trump says if you're struggling in this economy you're a loser. That's a hell of a closing argument for the midterms. It needs to be in every Dem ad for the next 4 weeks.
Reporter: "What do you say to those who are struggling to afford gas, groceries, diesel?"
Trump: You're losers. It's the greatest. If you're struggling in this economy, you're a loser.
There's your midterm messaging from the GOP

New in The Atlantic:
@dgrobinson resigned this week. He was among the longest-tenured employees at OpenAI—and oversaw safety reports on 12 frontier launches.
He is very worried: “The time for trial and error is over.”

Can you imagine being gullible enough to hear, “the principal put my kid on drugs and scheduled surgery,” and think, yes, this sounds plausible?
At some point this stops being propaganda and becomes an intelligence test.
Tuberville: Can you imagine if your kid would come home one day and says, “I'm taking these drugs. And I'm getting ready to have surgery because my teachers and my principal says I can”

SENATOR SLOTKIN: If you hear in the next 34 days that there is a new security threat that you’ve never heard of, that somehow requires federal law enforcement or the military and not local police, an alarm bell should go off in your brain. Do not let him get away with that.

Criminally offering to buy votes. The President of the United States from the oval office. This is America in 2026 folks. It’s time to take back our country. Peacefully. Legally. And with the confidence of a people who believe in the values that animate our Constitution.
Trump: “Our country is doing so well…If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate, I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000. Republicans can do it, and Democrats can’t.”

Trump’s son-in-law, who has no official government role and no federal security clearance, is leading negotiations with Russia that include multi-billion dollar oil deals that directly benefit his business partners and investors.
This is what oligarch corruption looks like.

I'm struggling to recall which party is currently in power in Washington and has controlled the state of Texas for decades
WATCH: I want my grandkids to grow up in a strong and prosperous Texas, but liberal politicians like James Talarico are making it harder to get ahead.
But when they come after you, I go after them.

Each election year, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) takes extra steps to ensure ballots sent through the mail arrive at election offices on time. This year, it’s delaying those efforts. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

I love what's happening in NYC right now.
A lot of mayors forget a key part of their job is spreading joy, @ZohranKMamdani doesn't.
Zohran Mamdani holds Curtis Sliwa’s hand because he was scared of the flu shot lol. A duo I never saw coming 😂

Leaving aside ethics, this reflects a deep misunderstanding of how Putin operates. He’ll pocket the business deal, use the $ to pay for war & be even less willing to compromise on Ukraine, making peace even less likely than it is today. nytimes.com/2026/10/03/us/po… via @NYTimes

What an absolutely brutal chart demonstrating how much Trump has turned the world against us.
Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year.
“We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.”

This is incredibly messed up on so many levels. Number One: Why is the Secretary of DHS weighing in on a Senatorial race? Outrageous violation of the Hatch Act. And justifying their "behavior based on scripture?" Paging Gregg Abbott, Pete Hegseth & a slew of other MAGAs. Ironic.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin on James Talarico (D-TX): "When someone wants to start justifying their behavior based on scripture, that's dangerous."

Mamdani is a masterclass at every turn
Sliwa getting a flu shot: This could be very embarrassing. I’m supposed to be a tough guy, right?
Mamdani: I can hold your hand.
Sliwa: What happens if I faint?
Mamdani: I got you.
Doctor: You’re in great hands, literally.
Mayor Mamdani encourages everyone to get their flu shot as flu season approaches. New Yorkers can find free flu shots and locations at nyc.gov/healthmap
