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%.

yup.

thehandbasket.coRepublicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problemA spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver did a great episode last night highlighting the extremism and at most generous Nazi-adjacent members of the Republican Party, many of whom are up for election on November 3. Please take some time to watch it and send it to others. 💙

Here’s last night’s story about the rising prominence of extremist beliefs within the Republican Party, what it has to do with the upcoming elections, and why being 31 years old is one of the least cute ages you can possibly be. https://youtu.be/SnsBI4YxwIs

Backlash to data centers might very well be the biggest issue in the midterms, with nearly 70 percent of Americans opposing them. Is it any wonder why?

Life was already hard enough before Donald Trump lied us into war, before his tariffs made everything more expensive, and before he doubled your health insurance premiums and slashed Medicaid.

I'm grateful to receive the endorsement of the Des Moines Register Editorial Board. In 9 days, we're going to win this race and deliver change for Iowa!

Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.

WOOOHOOOO!! Serbia, now Brazil. Next? USA and Israel!

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Trump is CRASHING OUT over Obama on the campaign trail

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

🌊 DEMOCRATS ARE ON THE VERGE OF AN EARTHQUAKE. HOUSE: 🔵 Dems lead nationally by 8–10 pts. SENATE: 🔵 Dems have a real path to 52–53 seats. Here’s the key: Dems don’t have to sweep every toss-up. Hold GA, MI, MN & NH. Flip NC, OH & ME. Then win just ONE of TX, AK, IA or KS. That’s the Sen majority.

Many of you are asking how you can help me in these final days before the election. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

There it is. Elon Musk admits it. “That loophole was closed last week.” In a deranged post on X, Musk openly acknowledges that SpaceX recently restricted Ukraine’s ability to use Starlink.

UPDATE: The DOJ’s demand to set aside ballots in California is impossible to carry out and has no basis in federal law, L.A. County told a federal court last night. Voting is already underway, the county said, and once a ballot leaves its envelope, it can’t be traced back to a voter.

It all comes down to Maine. It comes down to us. We know what’s at stake. We know that a vote for Susan Collins is a vote for Donald Trump. Let’s win this thing and take back the Senate.
