🚨 IOWA SENATE SHOCKER: Josh Turek is within striking distance of flipping a seat Democrats haven’t won since 2008.
Trump carried Iowa by 13 points in 2024. But anger over the economy & the Iran war has transformed the race.
A Turek win would help Dems take back the Senate. Let’s finish this. #Vote
My dog ignores me. Soon is relative and if I leave, then I might never return!
That and “ok, I’m leaving now.”

Congratulations to Mellody & George on the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art! 18 years in the making, it is 5-stories high, filled with some of the greatest artwork, props & memorabilia you'll ever see. An instant Los Angeles LANDMARK
Thanks (again), George!!!
Alligator Alcatraz kept metal cages 4‘ x 4‘ and called them “calming areas.” The DHS inspector general found 79 people confined in them, some for nearly 2 hours. Staff swore nobody was locked inside. Inspectors photographed the locks.
Musk's America PAC has a site called Vote Safe. It isn't ours. SAM co-founder Mary Corcoran on Battleground Midterms: "It is not the Save America Movement site. And frankly, you shouldn't trust it." Ours is samvotesafe.org.
An asteroid hit Earth on Sunday, and astronomers spotted it coming just 7 hours before impact
The 2.6-foot rock burned up harmlessly off the coast of Australia
It's now the 13th asteroid ever detected before striking our planet
James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social is simply 1 of the greatest, most inspirational candidates to emerge in years, running against Ken Paxton, one of the most disgracefully corrupt politicians of all-time. So the Texas GOP responds by doing what comes naturally to them, of course: CHEATING! 🤮
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Liberals tend to have fewer children than conservatives do, @olgakhazan.bsky.social writes. She reports on three theories that attempt to explain the partisan fertility gap:
Federal corporate political spending has already reached nearly $650 MILLION ahead of the midterms, according to @publiccitizen.bsky.social.
That’s an all-time high — and we’re still months away from Election Day.
Big Money is the real threat to “election integrity.”
American Dipper 15cm
Check out how hydrophobic its feathers are when it resurfaces with barely a drop of water on it!
American Dippers have feathered white eyelids, which you can see when the bird blinks throughout this video. This helps keep them as warm as possible when hunting in frigid waters.
A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs.
Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year.
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Good morning. Just a friendly reminder that Ghislaine Maxwell is currently protected, enjoying pampering and puppy time while America's service members are forced to drink diseased water, eat rotten meat, and huff air infested by mold. She does yoga while they choose drowning.
Reports from the USS Abraham Lincoln speak of horrific conditions including no fresh food on board as well as multiple sailors trying to go overboard during an indefinite deployment that has lasted 8+ months so far.
This is how the MAGA regime honors US troops. Treasonous bastards.

God already built a wall through Big Bend — it's called the Chisos Mountains.
We don't need to give billions of our tax dollars to out of state vendors.
We don't need to desecrate this sacred land.
We don't need this useless, disgraceful, corrupt Big Bend border wall.

SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆
With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever!
THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers.
These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR.
We need a data center moratorium — now.
Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.

Instead of sending perfectly good products to landfills or burning them, companies must now donate, recycle, or repurpose them."

There is a palpable sense of fear among the Haitian community right now. They need your support.
My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now."
This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.
The FBI has ADMITTED it has the Epstein Files redaction TRAINING VIDEOS that an anonymous FBI source told me about last year. TODD BLANCHE was required to release these under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. TODD BLANCHE is unfit to serve as Attorney General. VOTE NO. @judiciarydems.senate.gov
