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%.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

Let’s remember this on Election Day. It only works if you show up to do your part. Vote blue if you’re anti-fascism. We cannot allow criminals to continue burning America to the ground. Well done, Brazil. You understood the assignment and aced it.

Voters are pissed and showing up! Republicans thought they could redraw the maps, rig the odds, and coast to victory. Instead, they’re scrambling to save seats they thought were in the bag.

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…

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

I believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Mike Rogers believes in government of the billionaires, by the corporations, and for the special interests.

Most Americans abhor what they see, because what they see is abhorrent. This is how the great sleeping giant of America awakens, roars, and puts an end to it. This is how America throws the bums out on November 3.

The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.

You can literally feel the intelligence, decency, morality, compassion, class, decorum stripped away when you hear the orange felon speak his hateful stupid compared to the masterclass of President Obama’s speeches. The racist will always live in the shadow of a beloved successful black man.

Reason number 999 we must flip the Senate: Pete Hegseth could end up there without ever facing the voters. The very definition of mediocrity failing upward — from the Pentagon straight into the United States Senate.

Nothing and no one should stand between New Yorkers and their right to vote — least of all the government.
 Early voting is happening now through November 1. Election Day is November 3. See you at the polls!

Basically how GOP tries to "own the libs" - by intentionally changing what words mean in order to stoke fear, resentment and keep Americans divided.👇

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
