If you have voted absentee, please verify that your ballot has been been not only received but also accepted by your clerk. Thousands of ballots are not being accepted for simple reasons like people didn’t sign their name as required or the signature didn’t match that on file. Check yours today!

Early voting has started in 47 states and D.C., so if you don't live in Mississippi, New Hampshire, or Alabama, you should be able to vote now, or fill out your mail in ballot and take it to the nearest drop box, without waiting another week.

The DOJ is so corrupt that former employees felt the need to form a non-partisan nonprofit that actually represents the people and defends our Constitution. This makes me bith sad and optimistic. May justice prevail. www.ms.now/news/former-...

Thought I’d share a billboard I saw in western PA about a week ago. In large letters it read “Vote Democrat “ and in smaller letters beneath that “You don’t have to tell anyone 😉”.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

nytimes.comHow Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

This is 🎯🧪 From a pancreatic cancer researcher in my circle Lately, we have been seeing so many miracles in cancer treatment. We celebrate. That is because we had a great infrastructure that operated efficiently. I don’t want to live in a time when these wins are far off in the rear view mirror.

Per Bloomberg, since 2025 began, initial US jobs reports have been revised down in 16 of 20 months, erasing 793,000 jobs. That’s nearly 40,000 jobs a month that were reported, then quietly erased. They just vanished like the donations for the Kennedy Center. unusualwhales.com/news/us-jobs...,

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

Once upon a time in the US healthcare could not be for profit. The GOP didn’t like that, and here we are. If we are serious about saving money AND delivering care for everyone then single payer is the way to go.

Kurt Risser @kurtrisser.bsky.social

Healthcare for profit cannot be health care for all. It is an essential service, and should be regulated as such. The lawmakers owned by hospital corporations and pharmaceutical companies should be held accountable for failing to act in interest of their constituents.

Exxon is currently trying to get the Supreme Court to deny states and localities their day in court. Here’s an example of why - because they know they are guilty. I suspect that there is so much more that would be revealed at trials. open.substack.com/pub/heated/p...

The White House is hiding a report about your taxes until after you vote. Each year the IRS publishes data on what people at every income level deducted and owed. This version is the first look at the GOP tax law from 2025. It was expected in July. It’s October. Full story at link in comments ⬇️

The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

I don’t usually brag, but I voted yesterday. Walked right in and voted for reproductive rights, marriage equality, and restoring voting rights to people who’ve been imprisoned. I also voted for executive branch accountability by voting for Democrats. #VoteBlue 🗳️ VOTING IS A SUPERPOWER 🗳️

My investigators have confirmed the Trump administration is hiding interview documents it conducted with some of Epstein’s banks, and there could be more. There’s no limit to how far Scott Bessent, Kash Patel and Todd Blanche will go to continue this cover up.
