The correct reaction to someone saying they would use the smell of a dead rat cooking as an alarm clock.

When liberals asked in 2018, 2020, and 2024 how to turn Texas blue, I always said: "Don't waste your resources." But 2026 feels different, a true perfect-storm sort of situation. I tried to explain why from my POV on the ground in Texas. thebulwark.com/p/blue-texas-…

Neff: "No one wanted Renee Good to die more than the left." @timodc: "That is an insane thing to say." Neff: "That is not an insane thing to say…You think I want them to get shot?" Miller: "You seem perfectly fine with the fact that they got murdered." Neff: "I am not fine with the fact that they got shot…They actively get in the face of ICE." Miller: "And the punishment for that should be summary execution?"

We polled 1,417 Americans about sports, politics and everything in between, with @BulwarkOnline and @YouGov. The results may surprise you — but not as much as our 2028 VP survey shocked Charles Barkley.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE nytimes.com/2026/10/23/us/po…

Major revelation here from @Timodc on the Mike and Kristi Rogers scandal. We reported that she was Paul Bremer’s press aid in Iraq and that he traveled there frequently as a married member of Congress. He divorced his first wife in 2007 and married Kristi in 2010. Rogers joined the Intel committee in 2005. In 2006, Kristi launched the U.S. subsidiary of Aegis, a defense contractor, which quickly started getting massive contracts. Tim Miller adds a key detail: Kristi Clemens was Rogers’ finance director for his 2000 campaign. So they knew each other this entire time. Rogers and his wife threatened to sue us over our first story. We stand by our reporting.

Trump voters in South Carolina are pretty sour on Darline Graham. And Democrat Annie Andrews is a reasonably strong candidate. But is that enough in a state Trump won by 18 points? thebulwark.com/p/darline-gra…
