Officials in Texas said they were experiencing a “glitch” that delayed over 600K voter registrations right before early voting began. Glitch my ass, that’s called fascist republicans committing their usual election fraud in Texas to suppress votes. Let’s cut the bullshit, we all see it.

Mary Peltola stood in Valdez with prices every Alaskan understands: $5.25 for gas, $6.75 for diesel. Dan Sullivan voted 12 times to continue the Iran war, and each vote drove fuel costs higher across Alaska. He chose the war. Alaskan families, fishermen, and truckers got the bill #momsky#sheshed

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

The title really says it all.

If u want to know what the Tech Bros envision for the future, here is the kind of material they read: (1) The Sovereign Individual (preface by Peter Thiel); (2) The Network State: How to Start a New Country by Balaji Srinivasan blurbed by Marc Andreessen); (3) Patchwork by Curtis Yarvin/ Moldbug 1/

Texas, pay attention. Keep checking the voter rolls.

The cherry trees are a symbol of DC. Huge number of tourists visit them each year and are a thing of beauty. But Trump cuts down the oldest cherry blossoms in DC for his golf course. He has ruined our city. www.alternet.org/trump-dc-gol...

Every progressive gets chased around about their relationship to Hasan Piker. Has ONE reporter ever asked JD Vance about his embrace of the insane and anti-democratic ideas of Curtis Yarvin? Or about his relationship with democracy-hater Peter Thiel? The imbalance is stark.

GEO Group, the private prison corporation, secured two federal contracts with DHS worth more than $160 million each year. Weeks later, it donated $1.4 million to a Trump-focused super PAC. Cashing in on cruelty.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just boosted Trump's effort to steal the midterm election. The Court will allow the Postal Service (under Trump's control) decide who is sent mail-in ballots. SCOTUS will also allow Trump's DHS decide who is a citizen and gets a ballot. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/u...

The president has no role in elections. Six disgraceful partisan hacks on the Supreme Court have just given him a lawless green light to manipulate votes by mail for voter suppression. The Roberts Court majority fits more in Putin’s Russia

Voting rights fights don't always look like someone being told they can't vote. Sometimes they look like changing the rules around how, when, where, or whether a ballot gets delivered and counted.

The Supreme Court just gave Trump the green light to restrict voting by mail. You can be registered to vote in your state and still be left off Trump’s new federal list. If you’re not on it, USPS can refuse to deliver your ballot. Vote in person. Vote early if you can, or on Election Day.

Supreme Court Allows Trump Plan to Restrict Mail-In Voting, for Now “The administration asked the court to clear the way for President Trump’s order that creates “state citizenship lists” and directs the Postal Service to decide who gets a mail-in ballot.”

Early voting will be one of the most important tools for defeating Trump’s election sabotage. The good news is that early voting will be available for 97% of eligible midterms voters! (via our friends at @brennancenter.org)

Trump has been banishing people to one of the world's worst dictatorships Including: a Phoenix man whose family fled Egypt at 4 yrs old a woman who came to the U.S. at 5 yr old They're now imprisoned, & report being handcuffed and assaulted They've committed no crime tucson.com/news/local/b...

This is what the Roberts Court did in the NIH grant cancellation cases, and the mass firing (RIF and probationary) cases too: allow the Trump actions to continue as the cases make their way through the courts. It’s a move to stay below the radar while the Court supports the Trump admin. 1/2

Listen to Mary Peltola: 2 Alaska hospitals have already closed. Five more are at risk. Dan Sullivan voted for the healthcare cuts that caused it and then had the nerve to name the bill the Alaska Opportunity Act 🤬Opportunity for who exactly, because it’s not the patients. #HoldTheCrooksAccountable

Netanyahu needs $12 billion, approved. Musk needs $4.16 billion for SpaceX, approved. The top 1% wants a trillion dollar tax cut, approved. Your neighbor needs Medicaid because his wife has cancer, denied. Cool system we’ve got here, real fair, real normal. 🤬#HoldTheCrooksAccountable

CUBAN: “.. James Talarico. Let's go. I'm a big fan. He's honest, trustworthy, he cares. .. To Texans, do what's best for Texas. You've been voting for Republicans all these years, what have they done for you?" #TXsen @karaswisher.bsky.social

Trump buys stock & goes on TV to pump it up 45 minutes later. Then he charges people $100,000 a month for the tip-off so they can get in on his insider trading scheme. Rep. Raskin just laid out how Don the Con violated the STOCK Act twice in one scam. #HoldTheCrooksAccountable

Unspeakably disgraceful. Doris Miller was a mess attendant -- the only jobs open to Black sailors -- who won the Navy Cross at Pearl Harbor. With this, and reports USN leaders are considering changing the design of aircraft carriers *because Trump said so* -- the Navy is dishonoring itself.

Dan Sullivan voted for the Iran war 12 times. Alaskans are suffering because Dan Sullivan continues to rubber stamp an unpopular foreign war that’s causing energy prices to skyrocket. We need change.

After adding over $100 Billion to the national debt to fund the War of choice In Iran without any Congressional approval, the US debt now exceeds $40 Trillion. While the GOP is focused on endless wars and tax breaks for Billionaires, life for the rest of us gets less and less affordable.

REPUBLICANS: "For our next trick, we're going to drive up the national debt past $40 trillion—without providing you with *any* bullet trains, universal healthcare, or bringing down the prices of ANYTHING. You're welcome!"

Jon Ossoff tells Lawrence O’Donnell: “It’s been amazing to watch this White House melt down over this all week. And about Natalie Harp, these White House staffers are adults — public officials, paid by the taxpayer, with immense power in positions of public trust… No one cares about their feelings.”

A devastated Texas dad says his wife’s death after a miscarriage was preventable—and that the state’s abortion ban helped create the dangerous “gray area” that kept doctors from giving her the care she needed. RIPower Porsha 🌺🙏🏽🕊️ msmagazine.com/2026/08/18/t...

500,000 New Yorkers lost their health coverage in July because of Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” Half a million people, gutted so billionaires could get a bigger tax break. Truly beautiful work 🤬 #RestoreACATaxCredits

The widespread availability of self-driving cars will be a nightmare for cities. Thousands of empty cars clogging up roads delivering burritos when we should be restricting auto use and expanding public transport.

Trump's Republican puppets ripped healthcare away from over 8 million Americans by killing the ACA credits. Expect 15 million newly uninsured within a decade. Over 1,000 hospitals and clinics facing closure. All so billionaires could get another tax cut. #RestoreACATaxCredits

The Republican Party has never — not once in American history — passed a single piece of legislation to help healthcare. They spent years trying to destroy the ACA, voted 70+ times to repeal it, and still have zero plan to replace it. Just cruelty and chaos. #RestoreACATaxCredits

8 million Americans have lost their healthcare in every single state, and Republicans still call it a win. They gutted Medicaid and the ACA so the wealthy could get richer. This is grotesque, and they did it on purpose. #RestoreACATaxCredits

FCC goon Brendan Carr discovers too late that the point of an intimidation campaign is to push just hard enough to keep your target in line, but not so far that he's forced to enter the arena and fight. Particularly when your target is the House of Mouse. www.publicnotice.co/p/disney-sue...

What? www.nytimes.com/2026/08/19/s...

Trump Republicans killed the ACA tax credits and they're coming for the rest of Obamacare next. You know, the law that lets you stay on your parents' insurance until you're 26? If you think politics doesn't affect you, you're wrong. #RestoreACATaxCredits

For the first time in five years, less than half of Americans can afford healthcare. Congrats, Republicans, you broke a five year streak just to hand billionaires another tax cut. Truly historic. #RestoreACATaxCredits

They called it 'Obamacare' to make you hate it, then killed the ACA credits betting you wouldn't connect the dots. Millions lost coverage because Republicans weaponized ignorance and these clowns delivered exactly what they promised: nothing but chaos. #RestoreACATaxCredits

Everyone headed to Congress should have this plan: DAY ONE: Restore the ACA tax credits. Millions are being crushed by healthcare costs. Democrats should be promising to fix this, loudly and immediately. Dems running for Congress should be promising to fix it, loudly. #RestoreACATaxCredits
