"Donald Trump's efforts to federalize the midterm elections have been largely unsuccessful. . . . "Any last-ditch efforts by Trump have the potential to anger people far more than they frighten them." -- @joycewhitevance.bsky.social | joycevance.substack.com/p/trumps-las...

I may not be able to talk, but my vote can’t be silenced! I voted early and in less than 10 minutes. Check out your local early voting sites and VOTE 🗳️

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Vote, vote, vote.

I was so glad to get the chance to vote to re-elect Justices Cavanagh and Hood. We have a terrific Michigan Supreme Court now, and this article shows why it's so important.

We used to live in a world where we didn’t really think about state supreme courts in other states. But now, they’re incredibly important, and nowhere more so than when it comes to the role they play in handling election challenges. joycevance.substack.com/p/five-quest...

Susan Collins and her billionaire allies are spending millions in this race trying to tell you who Troy Jackson is. Let me save them some money. I’ll tell you who I am…

Ukraine says satellite access still restricted despite Trump saying otherwise

Oil hits $115 a barrel for the first time since May, adding to the economic strain just 11 days before critical midterm elections that may turn in part on affordability. @iankmsmith.ft.com @urbandirt.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/8948...

🚨BREAKING: A Trump-appointed judge just dismissed DOJ’s lawsuit seeking Utah’s unredacted voter roll, with prejudice. The ruling drops the administration to 0-27 in its nationwide crusade for sensitive voter data.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

East Potomac Park has 3 golf courses, mini golf, a playground, picnic spots & a road locals run & bike on Trump's plan could swap most of that for a single 18-hole course @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are in court to keep it public More @nytimes.com👇 -TN

The BBC is doing something important, refusing to be intimidated by a powerful person trying to use the legal system to punish criticism and discourage scrutiny. They’re schooling the American press on what the 1st Amendment means. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-bbc-st...

The Trump admin could have challenged voter rolls months ago. Their timing says this is just a political trick, not legit concern. They don’t care if they are disproven after the election is over—just like “caravans of criminals” who disappeared once election day passed.

"Donald Trump may spend his final years enacting his own version of Norma Desmond's delusion. "He’ll stand in front of smaller and smaller gatherings at Mar-a-Lago or one of his golf clubs and address the dwindling group of admirers as though he was at one of those blazing 2016 rallies."

I am honored to have President Obama’s support in this race. I’m asking for yours too. Let’s go win this: Turek4Iowa.com

Hundreds of lawyers are spending election week in war rooms & courthouses, ready to file at a moment's notice More than a dozen national firms are in it w/ @democracydefendersaction.org & our complaints are already written Bring it on More @financialtimes.com👇 -TN

This is great news. But everyone needs to vote like pro democracy candidates are 10 points behind. Do not take your foot off the gas.

We are seeing a hunger disaster unrolling before our eyes. Since Republicans passed the Big Beautiful Bill, 2 million kids have lost food assistance. These are by far the deepest SNAP cuts in history, and each month, we find out it’s even worse than we thought. The worst is yet to come.

Guys, please stop calling Trump a far-right authoritarian

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

Definitely!!

These backyard beauties help past U.S. attorney @joycewhitevance.bsky.social unwind from daily essays, podcasting, teaching, traveling & book-writing "They are good chickens," she posts. “They are a silly and gentle reminder that life is good, and that we will get through these challenging times."

See what Donald Trump has been up to and then you make the call, but I think my chickens make more sense than he does. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-chicke...

The DOJ is meant to protect the right to vote. But what happens when the DOJ does the opposite? @joycewhitevance.bsky.social and I talk about how the Trump administration has abused the system. FULL EPISODE: youtu.be/Yc4XG70UJVI

Carte blanche for Trump

There have been several voter fraud cases in CO. They were always caught when the signatures didn't match. They were Republicans, one was even the chair of the CO GOP.

I cried reading this. It’s ok to be afraid. But we must not be intimidated. And we must never give up.

Lots of elections official heroes. My own Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson (R-UT) is but one of trump’s targets. She’s basically laughed at him and told him to go pound sand. She’s not going to give up our private info to this rogue administration. #utpol

When ICE “warns” noncitizens they can’t vote, it’s not a benign experience. It’s frightening; meant to intimidate lawful voters. That’s the lesson the civil rights movement & a failed prosecution Jeff Sessions conducted as US Atty teach us. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-reoccu...
