Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Dan Sullivan is trying to sell Alaska to the highest bidder. He wants to bring in data centers that will drive up energy prices while his family business profits. Alaskans already can’t afford to heat their homes this winter. We can’t afford more of his self-serving agenda.

Dear People On Medicare, BEFORE YOU VOTE. It is Medicare Open Enrollment, go to medicare.gov & check your Part D RX plan for 2027 vs. 2026. Mine went up 3x the amount in a YEAR. That is because of Donald Trump & RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz REMEMBER that when you CAST your BALLOT!🗳️💙

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

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

The average family that heats their home with oil is going to pay $1500 more this winter because of Donald Trump’s insane Iran War. Some people will go cold. Some may die. This isn’t hyperbole. This is the consequence of having a president who just doesn’t care about you.

There is a massive corruption scandal unfolding in the US, with top American executives abandoning a $25 billion gas project over allegations of secret Russian investment and control. ​All of this is happening just as the US administration moves to ease sanctions on Russia. ​

Noise pollution anyone? Yikes 😬

Listen to the racket outside a massive data center near Dowagiac, Michigan. That jet-engine hum comes from cooling equipment running around the clock. Before Republicans welcome the next one, maybe they should spend a night listening to it. #RepublicansLoveDataCenters

Sounds criminal to me, not smart, as so many claim. Billionaires are thieves, dirty, rotten thieves, while the rest of us must follow the rules, they scoot by becoming richer and never in debt.

Donna Stern@dvsmemphis.bsky.social

Billionaires borrow against their wealth, pay a little interest & report zero income. While you pay taxes on every paycheck. The system is rigged but we can fix it by taxing what they actually earn each year & not a paycheck they never cut. #momsky#sheshed #momthevote

Ken Paxton is selling off Texas — our land, our water, our communities. Data centers bankroll Paxton, they get tax breaks, and you get stuck with the bill. We can’t afford Ken Paxton’s corruption. (This ad was made by humans — not AI.)

This is an attempt by the Trump regime to make it illegal to politically oppose Trump--and everyone needs to treat it as such.

Steve Herman@newsguy.bsky.social

(AP) — Federal agents on Monday searched the home of Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, a frequent target of Trump administration criticism, as part of a criminal investigation.

Share this. Weasel Miller's wife wants everyone to forget her tweet showing that the harassment of Rep Omar is just political retribution. Let's disappoint Katie.

emptywheel@emptywheel.bsky.social

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.

James Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. That's why I haven't heard from him after 85 days when I first challenged him to a debate publicly. We're awaiting his answer.

🚨President Z is taking out “data centers” that run Putin’s bot farms just three weeks before the U.S. midterms. After the third strike on Yandex's data center, Russian bot activity dropped to zero. This is why Trump and Musk are calling for President Z’s removal. It has nothing to do with diesel.

Donna Markland reposted

Replying to @portlandken.bsky.social

FYI: The US currently exports roughly 6 million tons of diesel every month. Trump's decision to import 400,000 tons (a tiny fraction of US exports) will NOT impact diesel prices. All it will do is funnel billions to Putin that he can use to murder more civilians.

Weeks before the midterms, Trump is buying votes. His admin is sending $500 government checks to nearly one million Americans with a letter blaming Biden for high healthcare costs. Most of the money is going to 13 battleground states with the most competitive Senate and governor races in November.

Donna Markland reposted

By raking in $2.2 billion last year, President Trump made the equivalent of a presidential salary about every two hours. And he made the median American's annual income about every 10 minutes.

NEW AD: Today on House Hunters, Ken Paxton is shopping for a new house. Will he buy the three-story luxury lodge in Oklahoma? The condos at a wellness resort in Utah? The ocean-view property in Hawaii? (Spoiler alert: He won’t take one — he’ll take 15.)

1/ 760,000 people lost ACA health coverage this week. Not because they broke a rule. Because an algorithm flagged them for not using their insurance enough. Cancel now, sort it out later, that is the new Republican plan for your health care. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
