Congress Do Your Job! A fellow traveler. Ex-Xer. Pro-democracy. Wants elected officials to do their damn jobs for the people! Corporations are run by humans. Corporations are not people. Overturn Citizens United!

“I think that he is a star,” David Axelrod tells VF, reacting to Jon Ossoff’s first debate with Mike Collins. But: “I haven’t seen him smile. I’ve never seen him smile. He’s always very severe. So there are other elements of campaigning that I would like to see.”

vanityfair.comJon Ossoff Is the Short-Form Video CandidateIn the age of vertical video, political messaging lands in bite-size clips. No Democrat is thriving in this new world quite like the young senator from Georgia. Maybe 2028 has already started.

Is it because the strongest allegations come from women who were technically adults at the time of the alleged assaults? E. Jean Carroll once suggested as much to me: that because Trump preferred adult victims, no one cares. I don't want that to be true, but sometimes it feels true.

Even setting aside the two accusers whose stories are shakier, we have three strong and credible direct accusations. Then we have three more young women who have evidence of Trump participating in Epstein's trafficking ring.

This report has a lot more information than that one less-than-credible accusations against Trump. If people read (I know, it's an impossible ask), you'll see there are three more I would deem extremely well-evidenced and credible.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

The Trump administration's $25bn Polar LNG project on Alaska's North Slope will be turned over to a Kremlin proxy, the Financial Times and New York Times report, quoting former Exxon executives. For Alaska voters, this is the big October surprise as they head for the polls.

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

Republicans are being forced to fight for their survival. And Jeffries isn’t just talking about taking back the House, he’s putting Republicans on notice: Their voter suppression playbook won’t save them from the electoral reckoning headed their way. That’s how big this blue wave could get. 🔥

🚨 A bombshell new House Judiciary Democrats report details allegations from 11 women linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, including five who accuse Trump of sexual assault. The report also alleges a sweeping DOJ cover-up. We broke down the explosive findings.

These numbers are telling. CBS News projects Democrats at 229 House seats to Republicans’ 206. Look at what voters are saying: • 65% say the economy is bad. • 57% say Trump’s policies have hurt them financially. • DON’T MISS THIS: 83% say government corruption is a major factor in their vote.

Translation: Come on… Can ANYONE back up my hysterical claims (that I’ve been making for years) with real facts?

“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.” Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:

Today, 62 former U.S. ambassadors and national security leaders endorsed my campaign for U.S. Senate. Their service spans five decades under Democratic and Republican presidents. Many were confirmed by Senator Collins herself.
