By my count we're up to seven protestors removed from President Trump's South Carolina rally so far. The arena here is relatively small - roughly 2000-3000 people, and the disruptions are impossible to ignore.

Mother of All Bombs Father of All Bombs How about No Bombs and all shitty men resign from all governments.
Iran says it is preparing to unveil a weapon called the “father of all bombs”, amid reports Trump has ordered plans for strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure using the “mother of all bombs”, the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal. LIVE updates: aje.news/r3rtel

So @JohnAnzo firm is still with UDP which means aligned with Mike Rogers. They need to publicly dump UDP today m

Will @JohnAnzo Impact Research continue working for AIPCAC’s UDP?
To put this in simpler terms: AIPAC is now such a political liability for candidates that it is ending its direct campaign contributions, but doubling down on dark money and other fundraising more difficult to tie back to it.

Nearly 10,000 Michiganders started getting letters from Undue Medical Debt last week. If one lands in your mailbox, open it. It’s real, and it’s telling you about medical debt you or someone in your family has accrued that’s been erased. You don’t need to do a thing.

My take: Putin gave up nothing by releasing a 74-year-old American held as a pawn for this type of moment. Putin is not a humanitarian, despite how Mr Witkoff addressed him. And whereas President Trump says he gave up nothing for Stephen Hubbard's release, you will hear all the experts correctly say that he did: busting his own sanctions for a diesel deal with Putin that could put $4 billion into his war chest; inviting Putin to the G20; and dumping Putin's victim, Ukraine, face down in the mud, as it tries to defend its sovereignty and its freedom. You’ve heard the historians call all this appeasement, going against America's own democratic values. nytimes.com/2026/10/21/us/po…

Gov. Mikie Sherrill says "Trump and his enablers, like Jeff Van Drew and Jim Jordan, who are using their congressional committee not to do the work of the people, but for political theater. That is what this subpoena is, plain and simple."

Small update re: the Texas Transgender Student Union mailers. Snailworks, the company that provided mail tracking services for the mailers, denies sending them but will not disclose who hired them. The NRCC spent $4,677 on Snailworks on 8/27/26. TTSU was created days later.
The "Texas Transgender Student Union" that sent out mailers, which have become a major controversy among Republicans, is a real organization — but it was only formed in September in Wyoming as an LLC and is entirely separate from TENT, the organization marketed in the fliers.

NEW from me: Beth Fuller was a 10-year CDC contractor when she was DOGE'd last year by Trump + Elon Musk, a mass layoff process cheered by the GOP. Now she's a candidate in a key swing district who could help flip the Georgia state House to Dems. huffpost.com/entry/beth-full…

Elon Musk’s super PAC is doing a version of this that, tbh, seems much better conditioned for humans and also includes a political message. Pretty amazing that one of the top Dem super PACs is doing a menacing video version of a decade old bit from The Victory Lab.
Democratic 501(c)(4) Future Forward USA Action is using the fear of social embarrassment to get people out to the polls: "Remember, who you vote for is a secret, but whether you vote is public information. Your friends, family, and neighbors can look up your voting record."

So @JDVance is okay with @VivekGRamaswamy exploiting a woman who was raped by her step father. @Yale Law School a cesspool of garbage.
Vance’s response to the ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother: “Politics is a tough business, and my message to my fellow elected Republicans is: if you actually believe in the things you say you believe in, stop whining about an advertisement and go win the race in 13 days."

Israeli authorities must immediately release the delegation of 33 Americans. The detention of American rabbis, volunteers & a congressional candidate is unacceptable. We're calling for the immediate release of this delegation. Now.

Started in the Voter Participation Center iirc. It’s gross, creepy, and sadly works.
Common tactic of the political-psychology industry that has very much shaped Future Forward and effective altruism —>

I’ve just learned @bradlander is the second person I know on that bus. My own congregation’s rabbi, wonderful Rabbi Hannah of DC’s Hill Havurah—who told us about this trip during Yom Kippur services—has also been detained as part of this peace-seeking mission. Godspeed to them.
I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank. The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

No. Putin is stone cold killer.
Steve Witkoff to Putin: You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again.

Rs claiming he’s saying Dems won’t give money if they lose. Except we already did! D Congress passed the PACT Act and Camp Lejeune Justice Act and Biden signed. They’re funded by the permanent US Treasury Judgment Fund, which Trump tried to raid for his J6 slush fund. Nice try!
Trump says that if Republicans lose in North Carolina he will use the power of his office to deny US Marine Corps veterans’ claims for medical treatment for cancer and other life threatening diseases resulting from decades of water contamination by toxic chemicals at Camp Lejeune
