He’s not appointing a Cabinet but casting a reality TV show where every day a new episode features a different straw man vanquished. He will use his kakistocracy to flood the zone with misinformation and disinformation to create distraction.

🗳️ Don’t wait until Election Day to discover a problem with your voter registration. Check your status, verify your name and address, and confirm your polling location. A few minutes of preparation today can prevent unnecessary surprises at the ballot box.

Rep. Jamie Raskin said it best, “Want to go forward? Put it in D. Want to go backwards? Put it in R.” Now, I’m asking y’all: Are you with us? Request your mail-in ballot today, make your plan to vote early, and talk to your friends. We aren’t going back. #AngieforFlorida

The prosecutors have taken overt, unnecessary investigative steps to affect an election! And it's a double-dip - racist AND illegal. It's an old trump trick, "Just say you've opened an investigation, I'll do the rest." He may know there'll be no conviction, he just wants to drag them in the mud.

This story makes it sound like the major problem is that the Trump Admin did this w/in 60 days of an election. Yes, that's a real abuse. But the major problem is they're basically threatening to denaturalize an opposition legislator, based on racist insinuations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

Rep. Angie Nixon responds to the 1st DCA ordering full expungement of the Hope Florida Foundation grand jury report.  TLDR: It changes nothing about what happened to the $10 million dollars. #AngieForFlorida

It was a distraction from Trump’s war in the Middle East, & the prices of food; & gas; & electricity; & the record number of Americans starting to wonder if maybe this loudmouthed 80-year-old New York slumlord and Page Six publicity hound might be a terrible leader. open.substack.com/pub/wonkette...

AI Ashley stole $10 million from sick kids & voted to end the ACA subsidies. Why? Her campaign donors are healthcare companies & executives. We need to elect people in office who aren’t corrupt & who will actually work to address the issues working people face. #AngieForFlorida

History won't ask what you posted. It'll count who showed up. Be in the count: check your registration, make your voting plan, and bring two people with you. When we vote, we win. #LetsGetVoteReady

You went to the protest. Great. That took courage. Fascism is not stopped by people who show up for one march and skip the next election. Fascism is stopped by people who register, vote, and bring their friends along to. #LetsGetVoteReady #Pinks 🌊

Imagine waking up after Election Day and the biggest story is historic voter participation. Millions showed up, stood in line, mailed ballots, voted early, and made themselves impossible to overlook. Be part of that story. #Pinks 📰

THIS WAS MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE. A Florida grand jury found $10 MILLION meant to help provide health insurance for poor children was misappropriated for political purposes. Moody & DeSantis took money meant for kids. #GOPWarOnHealthcare

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

FLORIDA VOTERS: Amendment 3 isn’t on the level. It’s a political stunt. All of us would pay the price in reduced services, a reduction in quality of life—and, most likely, a real reduction in property values as our communities become less desirable to live in. VOTE NO on Amendment 3 PS #VoteBlue

Years ago, I remember someone writing a screed about someone Carly Simon befriended on an AOL board. She responded with one word, "Goodness." Some drunk stayed up all night to write a loooooong email about how horrible I was. I responded, "Goodness." It drove him crazy. Thank you, Carly Simon.
