FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

trumps feels comfortable interfering in states' elections again because he got away with it the last time.

The fact that Trump keeps claiming voter fraud in the 2026 midterms before a single vote has been counted is wild to me. Reminds me of how he won all seven swing states in 2024. If you and I were planning to cheat, we’d say, “Let’s do five, not seven. It’ll seem more believable.”

Attn: USPS changes mean your ballot may not be postmarked the same day you mail it. Don’t wait until Election Day! Deadlines vary by state. Some require ballots to ARRIVE by Election Day, not just be postmarked.

In August 2026, the U.S. Forest Service proposed to end the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule. Overturning this policy would open these protected public lands to commercial logging, new road construction, and industrial mining. *The regime says it's for routine maintenance 🙄

The Pentagon just approved the testing of DEWs, “heat wave weapons” at the border. We went from “Build the Wall” to “Microwave the People”… What dystopian chapter of American history is this?! SICK. FUCKING. BASTARDS. 😎✨

Republicans Against Trump It needs repeating: Ukraine gave up nukes for a security guarantee from the US, UK, and Russia. Russia invaded anyway. Every MAGA who says let Russia have Ukraine is spitting on that promise. Branson said it plain. RAT NATION NEWS

Republicans must be thrilled that 11 days before elections, we learn that the Trump family secretly orchestrated a deal to allow Russians to drill Alaska in exchange for a $25 billion "investment" funneled through their proxies… How do Alaskans feel about this?!

The MAGA regime is now suing the state of Alaska to force them to completely ignore election results if the fascist Republican incumbent loses his re-election. I don’t know about you, but that looks like a big ole’ election rigging crime to me.

🚨BREAKING: A reporter asked Mike Johnson today, “Should we bother asking you a question about Jared Kushner treasonously manipulating US foreign policy behind Marco Rubio’s back with billions in laundered bribes sitting in secret bank accounts, or have you not heard about it yet?"

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Talarico: You want to know why they are spending $200 million against me? Because I don’t take their corporate PAC money and I never will. I don’t work for them. I work for you. When we flip this seat in Texas, I’m going to vote to ban corporate PACs so billionaires can’t buy our elections.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

I’m voting tomorrow, in person! What’s your plan? My sample ballot’s marked, so I know exactly how I’m voting, and it should be quick work! This election, you should vote early too, either in person or by using an official, secure drop box. Don’t wait until Election Day. #VoteEarlyDay
