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%.

It is important to point out that DOGE did this. They thought fighting worms in Nicaragua was stupid & cut the funding. They never asked why. And this is costing us so much more.

It's blackmail, which any decent court would agree with. Sadly, we have the Extreme Court.

ProPublica consulted seven emergency response experts to understand what went wrong after flooding killed three in Ruidoso, New Mexico. The tragedy “should be a clarion call” for officials to reevaluate how rescuers are deployed, one expert said.

We can't see it, taste it or smell it. But lead hides in everyday things: In paint. In dust. In soil. In water. In some ceramics, cosmetics, medicines, toys and jewellery. Lead poisoning can be stopped: Test for it. Find it. Remove it bit.ly/3TKEwwd

Ingram was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. www.texastribune.org/2026/10/24/d...

Dear People On Medicare, BEFORE YOU VOTE. It is Medicare Open Enrollment, go to medicare.gov & check your Part D RX plan for 2027 vs. 2026. Mine went up 3x the amount in a YEAR. That is because of Donald Trump & RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz REMEMBER that when you CAST your BALLOT!🗳️💙
