Reliably Red Iowa in Play as Economic Woes Mount www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/u... Iowa Farmers' Union backed entire Democratic congressional slate- citing cuts to fed farmers' programs, grant cancellations, & ACA subsidies' expiration. Iran war and trade tensions have only added to the strain.

Raping children should not be a stepping stone to the Presidency. The point being neither by coercion or self preservation of billionaires. We stand at a moment to reflect on the damage The Republican Party has done to humanity. Yes it's bigger than one nation because billionaires affect the world.

A group of Democratic U.S. senators are the latest to demand that Attorney General Todd Blanche publicly pledge the Department of Justice (DOJ) won’t seize ballots or election materials during the midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

democracydocket.comTodd Blanche must confirm DOJ won’t seize ballots, senators demand“This confirmation is necessary because Department leaders have been sending conflicting public signals," the senators wrote in a letter to Blanche.

We have to all speak at least a word of Russian to see the cause of his risks for Putin. The Russian word American's will learn is "Kompromat". It's not just about his lust for dictatorships, but about protecting his most damaging secrets among the Epstein class and Moscow indulgences.

Dear FAV Senator Whitehouse: Do we have enough state violations for a conviction of T yet? Are there enough to prosecute the lackeys for election interference? Are practically all instances of election interference punishable by state laws? If so, can the lackeys be put on notice by AG's?

Hey Michele Norris: Love you on MSNOW! Bonta told Russert that the mega media merger was, "A pure anti-trust case". If so, why not prevent it? Bonta says, it was dropped for "important concessions like news oversight committees". Huh? Frankly, that sounds coerced. Please ask Bernie tonight!

The Trump DOJ demanded California sideline ballots from voters it claims are noncitizens, from a list sent on a USB drive with a sticky note. Mainstream media doesn't cover these stories like we do. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay up to date: https://demdock.com/4spjoZj

Last month, California's power grid supported the highest electricity demand since 2022 without any emergency measures. That was no accident — the Golden State is proving that clean energy and battery storage systems are the best ways to keep the lights on.

Governor Newsom Press Office@govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov

NEW: CA’s grid handled its highest electricity demand in 4 years — without emergency measures or conservation calls 50,335 megawatts. Extreme heat. And the lights stayed on. While states like TX face major grid failures, CA’s clean energy investments are delivering a stronger, more resilient grid!

Ended my day today in Roanoke at Feeding Southwest Virginia. Across the country, we’re facing a mounting food insecurity crisis as tariffs and the war combine to spike food costs as Trump’s draconian SNAP cuts hit. We must reverse these policies & support our local food banks.

Worried about T stealing the election? Criminals stop criming when UNPARDONABLE state law consequences are obvious. Do state laws specifically prohibit all forms of tampering with the election process? Can low IQ lackeys Mullin/Patel be warned? Have AG's taken steps to clarify that prosecution?

AI can now collaborate with other AIs to commit felonies against other companies AND its own instructions WITHOUT detection by the maker. Scary enough even before “superintelligence” is born. Tell your reps to support the AI Kill Switch Act so the government can shut it down in an emergency.
