There have been reports of machines appearing to “switch” your candidate choice. Check as you go along and the review pages before submitting. You can redo a ballot up to 2x. Once it is run through the scan it’s too late. Report “switching” incidents to poll workers and to 1-866-OUR-VOTE.

We can seek justice in this country without glorifying violence and turning an execution into a grotesque public spectacle. What this criminal did was abhorrent and must be punished—but we as a country cannot condone livestreaming a man’s death for entertainment.

This regime is evil. Democrats must remember that we are not dealing with “the other side of the aisle.” We are dealing with people engaging in mass, systematic deprivations of basic human rights. They would gladly move to mass executions if they could. We need to treat them accordingly

If you’re an Equality Organization and you endorse anti-trans Democrats, then no you aren’t.

We oppose Islamic nationalism. But Muslims are a small minority with little institutional power. Christian nationalists occupy Congress, state legislatures and the highest levels of government. Oppose all theocracy, but recognize where the actual threat and power lie.

Abortion is healthcare. That’s common sense to me. But Susan Collins helped give us a Supreme Court that overturned Roe — and today, a majority of the US Senate still stands in the way of restoring abortion rights nationwide. Let's flip the Senate and restore Roe. That starts right here in Maine.

Do not encourage young people to enter THIS military.

I know it’s hard to watch all these beautiful things be carried away by time and see the wrong things growing in their place. But listen. Listen. We have to be the beautiful things now. It has to be us. It has to be us. Courage.

No surprise - but GOP Texas Railroad Commission nominee Bo French is spreading an anti-Semitic AI image of Democratic nominee Jon Rosenthal in his recent fundraising efforts. Sick, but par for the course for Bo French. More: tinyurl.com/yvz83x8r Vote AGAINST hate this fall, y'all.

Nah, I can’t be convinced this was death by suicide. Black people do not lynch themselves from trees, and the fact that these cases have been dismissed so quickly without thorough investigation is telling.

JFC, how broken a person do you have to be to vote for Paxton?

Ken Paxton stole someone’s $1,000 pen. He’ll steal your tax dollars. He’ll steal your healthcare. He’ll even steal your pen. I'll be a Senator who puts money in your pocket — and I’ll never put your pen in mine.

After winning Teacher of the Year award at a conference in TX, UMD Professor Kibret was detained by ICE at the airport. 3 weeks later he’s still in custody. He’s not the “worst of the worst” & detaining him isn’t making communities safer. He should be released, now. www.wbaltv.com/article/mary...

This is the moment we all knew Donald is the type of person who would allow other people to stay on a plane he’d been told was a target for missiles—if it meant he alone was safe.

El-Sayed: "I never saw myself ever able to run for public office ... the next year, I watched Barack Hussein Obama run for and win the presidency. I watched him serve with a level of class we can only pine for now. So I really enjoyed the conversation. I was grateful for his advice."

Raccoons on the east end of Galveston Island have increasingly become a tourist attraction for visitors who come bearing handfuls of cheeseballs or Oreos for the mammals to snack on. Officials say it's gotten out of hand with seven reported racoons bites in two weeks.

Paxton has his aide step and doesn't answer when someone asks him "how come on a government salary you own over 15 houses?"
