STOP VOTING 3RD PARTY. We learned long ago, from Ralph Nader, that 3rd party candidates cannot win, that they are spoilers and a boon for the right. Change the democratic party from within; the reds did it... they took a conservative party and created the Tea Party, then the fascist MAGA. VOTE 💙

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...

ms.nowHouse Judiciary Democrats release 50-page report on Trump’s alleged involvement in Epstein filesThe report — issued just eight days before the election — makes multiple, uncorroborated allegations against the president while also detailing discrepancies in his statements about Epstein.

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

VOTE BLUE.

Our nation is in grave danger. But across America I’m seeing stirrings of a giant backlash. People rising up and hitting the streets. People getting out the vote. Our fight — for democracy, the rule of law, social and economic justice, and decency — is gaining ground. I believe we will win.

How depressing. This is indoctrination, and radicalization. The sin is empathy? Holy hell.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

If you're a republican, look at the polls and don't bother to vote. If you're a Democrat, ignore the polls and vote like your life depends on it. Vote in record numbers. Don't believe the polls. Just vote!

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

Trump has pocketed billions of dollars from crypto schemes as he deregulated the industry. He's also pocketing millions of dollars buying stock in corporations that he's actively helping. Wondering why he doesn't care about affordability? It's because he's doing better than ever.

It's so easy to get a library card, and there's so much more going on in libraries besides books. Go wander around a library, and then... Please go get your library card.
