Out here, you can’t just drive less. Work is miles away. So is the doctor. Getting groceries or taking your kids to school means getting behind the wheel. When gas prices climb, rural families pay for it over and over. Bost voted against ending U.S. hostilities in Iran while the war drives up fuel

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Thank you to the Illinois AFL-CIO for your endorsement! Working people deserve fair pay, safe workplaces, and a retirement they can count on. I’m proud to stand with you, and I’ll fight to protect your right to organize and bargain for better. #ForAllOfUs #Fortier4Congress

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.

Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

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.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

Attn: USPS changes mean your ballot may not be postmarked the same day you mail it. Don’t wait until Election Day! Deadlines vary by state. Some require ballots to ARRIVE by Election Day, not just be postmarked.

Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.

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.

I know that everyone is focused on Trump's attacks in California and Alaska. My team is fighting in court in both places. But understand the fight for free and fair elections is much broader. Elias Law Group is currently litigating 92 voting and election cases in 42 states plus DC.

Just saw that “liberals are new racists” ad and it’s just a reminder that hate is the only argument they have.

Soaking up the last little bit of this glorious LA weather before heading back to the current epicenter of government corruption, Washington, DC. I am extremely motivated for the accountability fight that’s on the horizon. Time for a renaissance of ethics in government.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

Narcissist’s will never say they are sorry. They can’t admit they are wrong. Manners & respect are demanded but never given. Victim complex that everyone is out to get them. Never fair. Rigged.

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

Jared’s father, Charles Kushner, pleaded guilty to 18 counts of tax evasion and witness tampering. He hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, videotaped it, and mailed the tape to his sister. Trump pardoned him and made him Ambassador to France and Monaco. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...

“People are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. Were making a frickin’ fortune.”

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

As a veteran, I'm furious he told those poisoned by Camp Lejeune's water they'd only get help IF REPUBLICANS WIN. This rotten son of a bitch sees veterans as tools to manipulate. I know, that’s not news. We’ve known this. But..that makes it no less disgusting or disturbing. VOTE.
