Big Oil buys off Congress. No action on climate. Big Pharma buys off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. But we can begin to course correct by electing leaders on Nov. 3 who represent the people, not big money. Let's get it done.

Texas farmers helped launch the fight against monopolies over 140 years ago. Today, corporate monopolies are once again rigging the system against working Texans. It's time to finish what our farmers started and take back our economy from the Greedy Few.

Just because your food has an American flag on the label doesn't mean it came from an American farm. Corporate loopholes have made it harder for Americans to know where their food actually comes from. It's time to bring back honest country-of-origin labeling and put American farmers first.

Water is a necessity for life, and rural Texans depend on their wells to survive. Yet Big Tech wants to build massive AI data centers that could drain the same aquifers our families and farmers rely on. We cannot allow billionaire corporations to put our drinking water at risk for their profits.

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

544 buses stopped in Bahia! Only one bus per line on the streets of Teresina, a capital with a population of almost a million! Metro stoppages in São Paulo with no replacement buses! No buses in São Gonçalo, a city in the state of Rio governed by the far-right!

Separately, it's reported São Paulo is operating just 60% of its required bus fleet during Brazil's presidential runoff, despite a court order mandating full weekday service. Cuts are hitting lower-income neighbourhoods hardest, disrupting voters from reaching polling stations.

A Brazilian electoral court ordered the arrest of Salvador transport chief Pablo Souza for obstructing voting by keeping 75 buses off the streets during the presidential runoff, potentially preventing thousands of voters from reaching polling stations.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

Emma Parks 🇨🇦 reposted

Reports coming in that, in the city of Salvador, a far-right politician - the actual mayor - has reduced the fleets of available buses so that Lula voters can't get to the polling stations.

Hearing report after report. Bolsonaro’s allies are doing everything they can to suppress the vote. It’s the engine of fascism in action.

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."
