Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

"It's certainly the case that Russians have intervened in every American election since 2016 on Trump's side. He is very aware of that, and that is a political debt. The Russians will find a way to help the Republicans at the Midterms. Moreover, Trump was bailed out by the Russians once before."

'In the past week, the president of the United States has conclusively turned America into an ally of the Russian Federation. Donald Trump has now abandoned pretense and is openly aiding the Kremlin in its war against a friend and partner of the U.S. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Katie Phang on Blanche: What are you trying to hide? Who are you protecting? This is the permissive culture that is created, that is then buttressed by conduct by people like the AG to protect perpetrators, co-conspirators, enablers of crimes. Crimes against children, crimes against women.

Early voting is already underway in some states. From now until Nov 3, I urge you all to... 1) Help get out the vote 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

Exactly. As he becomes more deranged and politically weaker, he will become more desperate and more dangerous.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

I know it will be a difficult thing to do but we have got to support our aboriginal people. THEY HAVE SUFFERED DREADFULLY, it's no wonder they are broken but it CAN be done and we HAVE to do it.

Speak at Your Own Risk Donald Trump’s attacks on the First Amendment By Adam Serwer www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

An excellent article but frightening in its succinct framing of an aim we have all lived with this past 20+ months. Especially disturbing that Trump like Hitler is such an obvious weak twerp, always has been? Why would anyone even give him the time of day? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/19/o...

The judge asked the govt if the Kennedy Center is going bankrupt. You should've seen them backpedal Why so fast? If it's broke, a court puts someone else in charge & they lose control of it @cnn.com👇 -TN

If Trump can’t get USPS to disenfranchise voters through mail voting the way he wants, the story won’t end there. “He’ll escalate,” Marc Elias says. “He’ll do something even more extreme … because that’s what Donald Trump does.” Don’t miss a single update: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

I cannot stress enough how important it is to vote all the way down the ballot. Yes we must win back power in Congress but while we are at it let’s flip some state legislatures and retain and elect Democratic judges. Make your plan and let’s get this #BlueWaveIn60Days
