South Carolina's former governors Jim Hodges, a Democrat, and David Beasley, a Republican, shoot a joint 60-second ad endorsing Annie Andrews for Senate. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARZ5...

The bad: measles cases in the U.S. are more than double what they were last year, with 96% of cases being unvaccinated. The good: Pennsylvania has so far administered 14,000 more vaccines this year than last. The dream: The anti-vax movement is deservedly shunned and everyone gets vaccinated.

Most Americans abhor what they see, because what they see is abhorrent. This is how the great sleeping giant of America awakens, roars, and puts an end to it. This is how America throws the bums out on November 3.

This is an absolute top priority. Work to stop the damage - and rebuild - starts right after the election. Third Mountain Action is there, to bring sciences to democracy. Learn more: thirdmountainaction.org

Not too early to start thinking about how grassroots pressure on a Dem House could help produce better results -->

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

Lula’s win is the first good news for the planet in a while! I bet it shaves a tenth of a degree off how hot our earth eventually gets, which will save millions of lives Thank you Brazil!

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

Given the shift in media ownership over the Trump era, Democrats REALLY need to learn to ignore media handwringing now. Because I have no doubt their every move for accountability will be attacked from every possible angle.

All these so-called “independent” Republicans will go right back to voting for Johnson as speaker, confirm every Trump nominee, vote with Trump on everything, and continue doing zero oversight on his corrupt regime. A vote for any one of them is a vote to continue all of that.

At some point after the election there'll be a lot of pieces puzzling out how the Republicans got away with being so generously funded by a notorious white nationalist and it wasn't treated as a big, problematic issue. From the same reporters currently not treating it as a big, problematic issue.

Fun times!

Luxury private jets add to airspace congestion, delays, pilot shortages that contribute to cancellations and rising costs, and stress on the air traffic system. The "enshittification" of the commercial aviation experience is in part caused by luxury private jets. Enough.

Remarkable. I don't know how to explain what journalism is to two of the largest media outlets in America. Journalism is not repeating an obvious, comical lie, then tacking on who said it at the end.

Yeahhhhhh…Texas is going to be tough.

Scott Dworkin@dworkin.bsky.social

Tarrant County, Texas just closed 92 Election Day polling places. Before 2013, Texas needed federal sign-off to change how its people vote. John Roberts wrote the ruling that ended that. That’s his fingerprint on every closed door.

Be ready, people.

🚨 FACT: The federal government has no role in the state certification process of election results. Yet just this week, Todd Blanche didn’t rule out the possibility that Trump’s DOJ could try to prevent a state from certifying its election results: https://demdock.com/3W0IHoi

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

I think we need to move away from the framing that these candidates/elected officials "believe" 2020 was stolen. They *say* 2020 was stolen *knowing* that it wasn't. That's worse.

Mark has clearly picked his side and deserves nothing but scorn and derision.

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson: It was the largest early vote activation in American history! Y'all did that. Y'all turned people power into voter power at nearly 3,000 events on Saturday and the results are undeniable. Early voting was up 51% in zip codes with a No Kings Vote Early event.

This is me, every day.

Top Trump Aide Steve Witkoff, to Vladimir Putin: "You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. I salute you, and I commend you."

Soooooo many coincidences…

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Meta gave $1M to Trump's inauguration fund — and Mark Zuckerberg himsef has helped bankroll Trump's ballroom. Now Trump's DOJ has halted a years-long criminal investigation into allegedly enabling and profiting from illegal drug sales on its platforms. Funny how that works, huh?

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.

Two weeks from right now, we will all be watching the election results come in. But our goal isn’t just to win the midterms in 14 days — we’re also preparing for months of organizing to protect the results, stop Trump’s election sabotage, and ensure the winners are sworn in next year.

SpaceX got almost $6 BILLION in taxpayer-funded defense contracts last fiscal year. Meanwhile, SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, has spent over $360 MILLION in our elections this cycle. This should be illegal — but it isn't. I'll be introducing a bill to close the loophole that allows it.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception. They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas. Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media. Politics is broken.

Laura Bassett@lebassett.bsky.social

Team Paxton appears to have sent out fake mailers to Texas voters impersonating a trans student group and claiming to want to help kids secretly transition. The actual group said they had nothing to do with it, despite the mailers copying their aesthetic, and the address traces to a random UPS box.
