This is pretty rich coming from the Montana GOP who orchestrated an extremely successful ratfuck in the primary with Daines retiring/anointing a successor at the filing deadline. This “heads I win tails you lose” shit gets so annoying.

Trump is actively participating in Russian propaganda campaigns while trying to make energy deals for his family and cronies. Nobody is buying it, just like nobody should be buying Putin’s blood diesel.

One day after a Russian drone killed 14 people waiting for a train in Dnipro, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov landed in Atlanta for the G20 meeting hosted by Marco Rubio.
Several European diplomats objected to being photographed alongside Lavrov and threatened to walk out, forcing the U.S. to scrap the traditional group photo.
Absolutely disgusting

All because she asked him to condemn a clearly bigoted ad and stop pushing the same divisive message himself.
But he can't because that's who he is. Stevens should put principles over party and publicly pull her support.
Scoop: El-Sayed’s campaign is asking Stevens to stay away from all future campaign events in the closing days of the race, two people familiar with the decision told POLITICO,

To be clear, her highly sensible ask was that Abdul condemn a blatantly antisemitic ad. That bar proved too high, and instead he’s lashing (crashing?) out against his primary challenger (willing to support him!) who got 49% of the vote.

US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign is asking Haley Stevens to stay away from all future campaign events in the closing days of the race.
A source tells Politico that his team wants her to stay away “as not to distract from the central issues of the campaign.”

Trump suspended sweeping sanctions against Russia on October 16. Two weeks later, he declared: “Stupid people wanted me to put sanctions on Russia.”
This is Putin’s greatest achievement. He has persuaded an American president to do things that would once have been unthinkable for any occupant of the White House.
And that is precisely Putin’s tactic. He doesn’t merely want concessions. He wants Trump to make them publicly, to defend them enthusiastically, and to ridicule Americans.
Every such performance sends a message to the world: look what I can make the President of the United States do.
Putin is demonstrating dominance.
And with every performance, Putin humiliates not just Trump, but the entire United States.
The Republican Party has become the Russia First Party.

Arab-led parties are projected to win around 17 seats in Israel's parliament and could play a decisive role in determining the next government. Meanwhile, Rashida Tlaib is squawking about apartheid.

This is how Democrats lose elections in Miami-Dade. And they need to win Miami-Dade to win Florida.

Angie Nixon on whether Cuba is a dictatorship in interview with CBS News:
"That is what people have told me. I have never been to Cuba, and so I will have to take their word for it."

I mean Cenk is dumb and a bigot. Everyone knows this. But this ad is dumb and bigoted at scale. It’s innumerate and morally obtuse and if anything remotely like it was aimed at Muslims he and his ilk would (defensibly) be outraged. But this shit is fine when aimed at the you know who.
New @RebellionPac ad dropping in Michigan. We have to suffer here at home, so Israel can get all its wars. That’s why they buy politicians like Mike Rogers. He promised to serve Israel “unconditionally,” but never made that promise to you.

Ukrainian Nobel laureate Matviichuk: Russian occupiers abducted a woman for her pro-Ukrainian views. They tortured her and gang-raped her multiple times.
Then they took her to Russia and fabricated criminal charges against her.
I met her five-year-old daughter. She hugged me, started crying and begged: "Please return my mom."
I'm a human rights lawyer, but I have no legal tools to force Russia to return her mother. I felt broken.
I hugged her and promised we'd fight for her mother until she returned home.

The disgraceful Netanyahu just posted this image of nuclear attack on Tel Aviv. (I’m currently drinking coffee at the very epicentre of this imagined attack, as it happens). 48 hours to go before the polls open and all he has left is fear and hysteria.

هزاران نفر در ترکیه در اعتراض به سرکوب رسانههای مستقل و بازداشت روزنامهنگاران به خیابان آمدند. فیلترینگ وبسایتهای خبری توسط دولت شدت گرفته و صفحههای مجازی بدون دلیل و در پی یورش ماموران بلاک میشوند. میگویند «روزهای سیاهی است.»

The Russian propaganda operation begins, with American collusion
Exclusive Senior Adviser to First Lady Melania Trump Marc Beckman claims Russian kids are being kidnapped too #BothSides
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
A UN commission found Russia's deportation of Ukrainian children is a crime against humanity; ICC issued warrants for Putin over it. No evidence supports claims of Ukraine systematically kidnapping Russian children.
