"In the 3rd Reconstruction Era" - Judge Jones

NOTE TO ANYONE TRYING TO COMPARE EARLY *OR* MAIL-IN VOTING IN MICHIGAN TO 2022: DON'T. Just don't. --In 2022 we didn't HAVE early in-person voting. --In 2022 only seniors & a limited number of other adults could vote by mail (absentee ballots) --we also didn't have drop boxes or pre-paid postage

A new discussion with John Della Volpe, Director of Polling at the Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics. @dellavolpe.bsky.social with @simonwdc.bsky.social

Republicans, they're not like us.

In battleground Senate races, almost 13% of Hispanic and 11% of AAPI early voters didn't vote at all. Compare that to 3% of white early voters. Why does that matter? In early vote analysis you have to consider if these voters would have just voted anyhow...

It's worth repeating and amplifying this.

Administration has a real data manipulation problem: - DHS exaggerates immigrants who’ve left US - Patel's FBI pads crime stats - IRS hides tax cut data until after midterms - Census excludes immigrants www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

RFK Jr, meeting with the Kent County GOP alongside Mike Rogers and John James, railed against the Muslim Brotherhood by claiming the organization is “why you don’t see any Arab Muslims winning the Nobel.”

The notorious conman Vivek Ramaswamy triples down on the "Hag from Hell" ad.

Homepage of the @miamiherald.com with story by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social that mentions rape in the first paragraph. See, it's not so fucking hard. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Fucking weasels.

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

Republicans are the party of rape.

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Trump doesn’t give a damn about you or your family.

NEW: I'm joining a coalition of AGs demanding answers from Meta for suspending the No Kings Coalition's Instagram during nationwide protests. Meta must protect legitimate political activity of its platforms. We won't let Big Tech censor activism ahead of Election Day.

NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

I'm officially out of Nazi metaphors.

Find someone who looks at you like Mike Rogers looks at Donald Trump.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government. They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.

Dragging this into the light...in light of Brazil.

The BLUE WAVE will only happen if YOU vote. Make your plan to vote on or before November 3 at IWillVote.com.

Nine days to win this. Make your plan to vote at IWillVote.com.

i think it's a little underemphasized because the main comparison people want to look to is Talarico, but Hinojosa is also polling better than Beto '18 did

See? There is no secret “defeat fascism once and for all” belief system. You just do the work, every election. Far left, center left, it doesn’t matter. Learn the lesson: Stop pretending you’re special and just fucking vote for Democrats.

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Very glad to hear that Elon Musk is a stickler for details on contractor – government relationships. Could come in handy later.
