We are stronger together and we help each other show up and keep resisting, every day. If people get out and vote, we will prevail. 💪

MSNOW are definitely starting to hedge their bets. A week ago they were crowing about Dems taking the House for sure and having a good shot at the Senate. This week they are being more cautious. I understand about not taking the wins for granted but it's making me nervous. Vote!

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.

Remember when the most polarizing political issue in the US was right to life versus right to choose? I haven't heard much about that lately. This is what he does. He gives you so many reasons to hate him it's hard to settle on one.

Bernie Sanders: "If you believe as I do that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States, we need to get rid of that rubber stamp Republican leadership in the House and Senate."

It's a sad sign of the times that the latest profession of heroes in this country are not military, not fire-fighters, but voting administrators. I have faith they will do their duty.

Elon Musk's warning that he will pursue people behind potential investigations into him deserves a firm response. No billionaire should be able to make elected representatives afraid to examine government contracts, conflicts of interest, or decisions affecting national security.

Say it louder: Social Security doesn't add a dime to the deficit. It's funded by its own dedicated payroll tax — money working people earn with every paycheck. So when politicians talk about "cutting Social Security to reduce the deficit," they're not being fiscally responsible.

“If y’all didn’t want me to vote for Trump, Dems shoulda done better than Harris.” is the same as… “I wanted a Manhattan, but the restaurant gave me a martini. So I went home and drank out of the toilet.”

I never would've expected Americans to get so accustomed to fascist madness. Every day there are 5 new outrages that make me think I must be having a nightmare. Yet some people around me act as if it's just normal life. Frankly, a little more healthy panic would reassure me.

BREAKING: Republican Sen. Thom Tillis just delivered a brutal warning about Donald Trump on live television, saying Vladimir Putin is playing the president “like a fiddle.” Let that sink in. A Republican senator is publicly warning that the president is being manipulated by Russia’s leader.

Do not trust the polls. Do not allow yourself to become complacent. Vote early — and get your friends and family to vote. Do not let Elon, Big Tech, Big Oil, AI, and the billionaire class buy this election. We outnumber them — and we're the only ones that can put an end to this nightmare.

The problem isn’t this technology or that technology, people, the problem is capitalism. The problem is authoritarianism. The problem is a system of normalised hierarchy and privilege.

Man, I'm so fucking pissed at Chuck Schumer for not yet saying a word this administration launching a baseless, bigoted, & vindictive criminal investigation into Ilhan Omar

I want to hear less about the polls and more about the consequences. The media should be focused on what the next 2 years will look like if Trump continues to be unchecked by Congress.

A Republican senator from Texas is now publicly demanding answers about Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin. On Saturday morning, Cornyn called for Congress to investigate what he described as Trump's provision of “aid and comfort” to Putin.

Trump is yet again horrible to a female reporter. He asked her if she is a sick person. No Orange poop face. You the sick person. I am so sick and tired of seeing female reporter's get mistreated and other's not standing up to him. Wtf #Trump #news

We’re living in a time where you can work 40 hours a week, eat at home, barely go anywhere, and STILL be broke before payday… We’re not even living anymore, just working to survive, and the government doesn’t give a damn. Mad yet?! Good, now go VOTE! 😎🇺🇸✨

Quoting Trump's social media post of today, Judge Reyes orders govt to explain by 8pm whether it still takes the positions it took 2 days ago. Also orders Associate AG Stan Woodward to attend hearing tomorrow.

12-days in the suit to stop Trump from converting a historic DC golf course, open to all, to a Trump-style championship course. 2 days ago, DOJ attys called Trump's plan "nascent." Today Trump launched his plan & said the existing course closes on 11/15.

We are all the Lorax. There are so many things wrong with this country that it feels ridiculous to focus on a fucking golf course but here we are. Is it a deliberate distraction or is he really that tone-deaf? In the end it doesn't matter. He has to go.

My generation grew up knowing that Europe and the US stood together to defeat Hitler. Future generations will grow up knowing that Europe stood with Ukraine, while the White House sided with the Hitler of our time.

Apparently some things never change—because there's always a small part of the population that fucks it up for everyone else. This is why the popular vote has to be the way a President is elected; the will of the people is being overridden by a third of the country.
