I think you’re right on this. They’re doing everything possible to turn the midterm elections to their advantage. Fairness is not their interest.
Republicans know exactly what they are doing in these cases. Speculation that they might simply be waging an ideological battle — and that it could backfire politically — is either dangerous wishful thinking or uninformed. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.
Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York.
Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.
EU need to step up.

Bernie-the problem with “Medicare for all” is it’s expensive out of pocket if you want decent coverage (using “Supplemental”aka “Medigap”). Why not aim for “Healthcare for All” ? Everyone gets what they need. Ditch insurance companies (so no profits off sick & dying people) & 💰 billions wasted.
Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

At this point can we let go of snark? We could all move to a higher level of behavior and encourage it when we see it and hear it. It’s worth trying…
What is happening, Marge? Either this is the most epic Trojan horse troll game of all time and she will unveil herself as an alien who wants to eat us or she got visited by three spirits overnight recently.
Greene: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term in Congress and I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our party like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party."

If I see someone in front of me at the grocery store who appears to be "counting pennies" to buy their food, I'd like to buy that food. But the tricky part: how to do it in a way that doesn't offend or embarrass the person...anyone have ideas what to say, how to do it?

And: pay attention to neighbors. Sometimes direct assistance means a lot. Not everyone can drive, bus, walk to a food bank. Some may not even know what a “food bank” is.
Even if Trump admin obeys the court and releases funds for SNAP (food stamps) it could be weeks before states can recharge people's cards etc.
Please consider giving to a food bank. Cash is best.

And how easy to toss others in there they don’t want to deal with. Outspokenness may turn dangerous once the infrastructure is in place.
Basically, shelving people that make us uncomfortable since we cannot figure out how to fix a difficult issue that was, really, escalated when Reagan threw people out of care. This feels like it will be a huge investigation into abuse story in 5 years in the NYT too: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/u...

He’s the latest iteration for the next middle age generation. I’m old. These guys come and go…with pockets full of riches. Kara is correct: sleep, food, move, love.
A lot of manly performative hand waving here and rampant over testing, even though it all comes down to the basics: Sleep, exercise, food and friends and family. (Maybe a little GLP-1s, but tbd) www.cbsnews.com/news/prepari...
