Trump’s unprecedented attempt to rig the midterm elections took a massive hit on Tuesday.

Democrats struck back with their own redistricting efforts, defeated GOP attempts to make it harder to vote, and protected Democratic judges who have ruled against Trump’s election subversion schemes.
Voters soundly reject Trump's plot to rig the next election
On Tuesday, Democrats passed new congressional maps, defeated GOP attempts to make it harder to vote, and protected pro-democracy judges.

Magical Persian goblets of yore!

The Aztec god Tezcatlipoca "Smoking Mirror" and his connection to Elizabeth I's personal sorcerer!

Defense tells judge they want to question Lairmore about 'gag gifts' he received from fellow officers after the alleged assault, including a Subway sandwich plush toy and a patch that (unless I misheard) said 'Felony Footlong.'

Prosecutors object. Defense argues they reflect CBP 'state of mind.'

The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger
SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly “handed” to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

"Reports are coming in."

These reports "came in" weeks ago, to the Bucks County Beacon and other Pennsylvania outlets like PhillyBurbs.com. Not today, and not to the Alt National Park Service.

buckscountybeacon.com/2025/10/misl...
Alt National Park Service: Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. These signs were not created by the real “No Kings” group. Don’t let deceptive messaging confuse or suppress your vote.

Totally baffling why Fuentes and his gang of antisemites are making inroads with their fellow travelers in the GOP mainstream. Inexplicable. If only a pundit could pierce the veil.

This is, as ever, an excellent piece by Julianne—I braced myself for anguish at learning what’s being lost, but I also learned about a lot of great community violence intervention (CVI) programs, and I appreciate the note she ends on.
Levons and others were "shocked," she told me. She and other EJUSA leaders had expected that the organization was unlikely to receive new funding, but, as Executive Director Jamila Hodge explained, "What nobody saw coming was that they would go back and seize money that Congress had already allocated." In a statement following the cuts, Hodge said the administration "is not serious about protecting public safety," but instead "committed to creating the conditions for violence to thrive."

“Dick Cheney Has Died. The War Criminal in His Own Words”

10 quotes worth remembering, and that’ll be glossed over in MSM obits, from a former vice president who pushed for a murderous invasion of Iraq, lied about the WMD threat, and defended torture.

man, i was just playing a guessing game yesterday speculating which cities would have this problem today. they’re almost always hoaxes, but the goal isn’t to blow up a rec center, it’s to keep people from being able or willing to vote.

The Cheneys’ interests may partly align with Democrats’ at the moment, but the family has, in its decades in the halls of American power, contributed little to the common good and done tremendous damage to human rights (to say nothing of humans themselves).

I'm confused by this account (handle in alt text). pretty obviously spam. where'd they get ~40k followers, following so few at ~700? the followers and following seem like a rich field of spam too. hinky
screenshot of BlueSky account @go4know.com it has 38.8K followers, is following 687, and has 728 posts. the bio is shilling AI tutorial, and the top post ~2h ago shows AI slop of a chick hatching.
