Life was already hard enough before Donald Trump lied us into war, before his tariffs made everything more expensive, and before he doubled your health insurance premiums and slashed Medicaid.

Sometimes I wonder if this is how it could happen.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Don't give in. Instead, get out the vote. ⬇️ www.inequalitymediacivicaction.org/gotv

A united Georgia.

Yes!

Ossoff: "If you're involved in any of this, next year you'll be raising your right hand and swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God, in front of Congress!"

Nine days until the long-awaited midterms. It’s our LAST chance to hold the vicious Trump regime accountable by flipping Congress blue … and purity testers are out here today⁉️ Fuck you. Letting perfection be the enemy of the good will get us nowhere fast.

The #USA must remove the pestilence of the #GOP

Multiple polls show Trump’s approval at record lows, but I think what’s happening runs deeper than this. Something very dramatic is occurring. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/exposed

Now lying in bed together ❤️ has a new meaning.

The #USA must remove the filth of the #GOP

I like this part @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! You are now the leading man in the same "movie" Republicans cast #PresObama! They forget how great that movie ended! youtu.be/bFTpz3mQPCg?...

Michigan, let's make history in nine days.

For your viewing and listening pleasure..

The Statue of Liberty doesn’t stand in New York Harbor holding a permission slip. Freedom belongs to the people & so does the power to choose our leaders. Don’t surrender because you’ve lost faith in politicians.That’s when your vote matters most. #BlueWaveIn10Days #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I joyfully did my part today to overthrow the fascist regime. #voteblue #voteEARLY #TooBigToRig

Good.

He has always been a filthy rat bastard. How he ever became POTUS — twice — will forever be beyond me.

Sometimes all it takes is a few hundred votes, to make the difference... With all the attempted gerrymandering, redistricting etc., our votes matter more than ever. We cannot afford to sit this one out! Vote ‼️ 🗳️💙 #WeThePeople #StopTrump #GTS #ImpeachConvictRemove #resist

They tell him whatever he wants to hear to keep him from starting a nuclear war. He wants to press that big fat red button and make everything go boom sooooo bad.

Jon Stewart on Mike Rogers: “He was a real pain in our ass in 2010 when we fought for the Zadroga Act for 9/11 first responders. He called it a New York problem and voted against it, all while claiming to respect the heroes of 9/11. It was all bullshit.”

As a New Jerseyan, I ranted on the regular when Chris Christie was governor and couldn’t wait for the end of his 8-year reign of terror. But right now it’s nice to stroll down memory lane and watch Christie take the reprehensible Ramaswamy to the woodshed during a ‘23 debate. 🐍

Words are too big ….

What happened to these innocent animals is heartbreaking. #SlothConservationFoundation

Excellent piece. #voteblue #voteEARLY #TooBigToRig

Let’s be careful out there. 🦌

Trump’s nefarious lawsuits funded by hardworking taxpayers.

Meta throttling No Kings, Musk throttling Starlink in Ukraine, TikTok throttling "Musk" movie account. Collusion. Murder. Abuse of power. Self-enrichment. Social media isn't just enshittified, it's become a RICO case.

Ossoff: "He said he would rename Hormuz the 'Trump Strait.' The draft-dodging president tells jokes while 21 Americans are dead and hundreds wounded ... they've drained our stockpiles to achieve nothing while the crook commander in chief builds a monument to himself."

Katie Zacharia says she passed the bar when she moved to China. What was she doing there? trib.al/CjA22Bh

I'd say she was the Manchurian Press Secretary, but I doubt she'll last long enough to infiltrate the government. Besides, that job's already taken by Elon Musk.

“If Bennett’s team was popping champagne at headquarters this morning, I suspect they’ll be reaching for a mop once reality sets in.” ⬆️ That’s Harrison Neely, Tom Kean’s top political strategist, whistling past the graveyard. 😙 No champagne just yet 🍾 … but I’d bet they’re energized AF.

As the midterms loom, some folks are fearful that Little Johnson will pull some shady shit when we flip the House blue. This info ⬇️ might quell concerns — or not.

“Officials with the two super PACs decided to cancel all remaining advertising booked for Representative Thomas H. Kean Jr. of New Jersey …” (It’s lights out for your reelection bid, Tom. Is it wrong that I’m smiling?) @atnj.org

Jersey girls & guys: Please make sure you’re registered to VOTE. The deadline is today, Tuesday, October 13. nj.gov/state/elections/voter-registration.shtml
