@alivitali.bsky.social Just read last night that Ralph Norman’s son, a conservative Republican, just announced he’s voting for Annie Andrews. He wrote a thoughtful article about why he chose to meet with her and he was convinced she was the change we need in SC. Will send you a link if I remember

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 ⬇️

We need to set the record straight about this because right wingers are trying to compare $5 gas under Biden to gas prices under Trump. Yes, gas hit $5 under Biden. For about 10 days in June 2022, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Then prices came back down. #BlueWaveIn20Days

What even is GOP’s sales pitch for the midterms? Inflation - up Gas prices - way up War in Ukraine - still going War in Iran - still going Houthis - out of control Beef prices - record highs Public health - people are dying from the fucking measles No wins to speak of.

Ohioans are working harder than ever to pay the bills but their health insurance costs keep climbing. When Jon Husted had 9 chances to lower health care premiums, he voted against it every single time.

With all due respect, this is precisely what is wrong with the federal courts today. They should not be doing "everything humanly possible to give the government the benefit of the doubt."

"More than being upset and furious right now, I am just beyond disappointed in the government. I have done everything humanly possible to give the government the benefit of the doubt in this case. I have done it repeatedly. I have done it for months."

Folks, if you haven’t already subscribed to Democracy Docket, perfect time is now. We’re coming into the final stretch and Marc Elias and The Elias Group are fighting hard in courts to defend democracy. It helps to spread the word too!!!

Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

‘But I got road salt exempted from Trump’s tariffs’ is really the perfect way to sum up Susan Collins during the Trump era. While he does hundreds of things to hurt Mainers, she brags about one small thing she did to help her reelection, while doing nothing on the big things.

Latest inflation data just dropped. And... prices are still rising at an uncomfortably high rate. Headline inflation was 3.4% over the past year. This month, prices grew by 0.4%. This is pretty much as expected, but no-one was expecting good news.
