The right completely fails to understand that national productivity (and security) succeeds and thrives when the mass of citizens are NOT terrified every second (of getting sick; of trying to deal with banks and insurance; of starving). More productivity = more for all (even the billionaires!)

The Nation's 250th Anniversary and official celebration of Our Democracy is being held Tuesday, Nov. 3rd

Facts won't stop MAGA talking points, of course. But they do reveal ignorance and stupidity pretty well.

Funny (and not just in re Donald's mile-long posts) :

Future pardon recipient!!!

Bring back #ChecksAndBalances !

Good short thread with citations:

JD getting perilously close to telling the truth:

Yet another reason to vote for Democrats!

🧐 Rachel Maddow exposes the Trump administration’s apparent election-year playbook: "delay unpopular policies until after the midterms, then unleash them on voters" Republicans are going to get much worse after midterms❗ . .

Oh, sure... we CAN'T WAIT to get kicked off of our healthcare, asshole. #BigUglyBill

Trump's Spending Our Money On Farmers,What About SNAP Benefit Recipients.......?

❤️❤️❤️

Melania taking credit for something the Pope did? I’m shocked.

Oh, honey . . . your own mother shipped you off to a reform school (with cute little military costumes) after you were caught throwing rocks into a baby carriage and she realized you were too twisted to deal with.

Using the Presidency to manufacture himself billions in tax breaks through golf courses. Scam artist doesn’t even begin to describe this President. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

A Black Democrat has a chance to win in Mississippi's Senate race Scott Colom has a shot to make history in Mississippi with massive Black voter turnout and fed-up White voters willing to back a Democrat.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Every 5 year old has tried this one 🙃

Hope spot:

TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny. He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers. From the ProPublica archives:

In re Donald's stated plans to "violate the Governor" of Illinois by sending in federal troops:

Nothing is a more convincing admission that you know your entire administration is corrupt than giving criminal pardons to EVERYONE.

"But the federal government has brushed off the issue"---the Trump Regime won't lift a finger to protect us from what could be a new pandemic. Because doing something to stop this makes them no grift-cash. (Short, scary thread.)

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

#DisgustingDonald

When your USAID pullback resulted in 500 metric tons of emergency, overseas food being destroyed instead of distributed to the starving you can stomach and justify anything

Just how pro-sexual-abuse ARE Republicans, anyway?

I get that.

It's a fill-in-the-blank: "Trump administrations sues to block ____________ _________ race certification if Republican loses, citing ______________." (Third blank: any old bs will do.)

Absolutely 👇

In re Donald's claim that people 'should listen' to Amy Acton's mother:

NEW: A week after ProPublica reported how organized crime is stealing food stamp benefits — aided by the government’s refusal to update benefit-card technology — the Department of Agriculture announced plans to adopt more secure cards with microchips.

FLORIDA VOTER ON FOX: “Everybody on my block is Republican. They told me for the first time they’re voting Blue, straight down.”

I thought he was going to drain the swamp?

NEW: ProPublica sued the federal government for records that show which schools are facing civil rights investigations — data that was public before Trump’s second term. Now you can use our database to find cases.

All Gas. No Brakes.
