60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

blatant abuse of power

In the last few weeks, the Trump admin has: 🔺 Tried to stop California from counting 20k ballots 🔺 Preemptively sued Alaska from certifying results of a key race — if the Republican loses 🔺 Inserted itself into Michigan's election That’s not all. Here's how it's already meddling in the midterms 👇

🧵 With voting underway, the Trump administration is trying to stop ballots from being counted, starting with lawsuits in California and Alaska. Despite their flimsy claims, the suits may lay the groundwork to challenge results or contest certification after Election Day. Here’s what to know 👇

hopefully, there will be consequences for these tactics

📊 A new poll reveals voters overwhelmingly reject Trump’s election-meddling tactics. Voters were given potential scenarios outlining how federal or state officials might respond to the 2026 election process. Overwhelming majorities disapproved of every tactic: https://demdock.com/4yIGP19

no one has to concede for elections to stand

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

A small number of people voting illegally is not changing an election outcome, Marc Elias says. “What it can do is serve as an excuse to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters, and that can affect the outcomes of the elections.” Don’t let this happen quietly. Follow us to join our fight.

hundreds of our trees butchered to give him another tax break

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov

Working Americans around the country are having to choose between getting groceries or filling up a tank of gas — all thanks to Trump. But what is he focused on? Finding new schemes to evade taxes on his billions. Despicable.

ProPublica@propublica.org

Lonnie Rouse worked at the Hanford nuclear site for nearly 20 years. It was so toxic, he said, that the floor once melted the rubber off his boots. Now he needs 24-hour care. The DOE has appealed his workers’ compensation claim more than 20 times.

Anything that can be done to restrict voting is fair game in this administration

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.

⚠️ Trump’s DOJ may launch more California-style lawsuits to block states from counting ballots for the midterm election. Don’t let them fool you. Know the truth: The executive branch has NO role in the election process: https://demdock.com/4ieNYjj

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov

The cover-up continues. First they lied about what we could see with our own eyes & called Alex Pretti & Renee Good ‘domestic terrorists.’ Now they’re back to hiding evidence from MN state investigators. MN investigators must be given access to ALL evidence. This impunity must end.

those kids just want to be on tv and get their check for filling the seats

Dante Atkins@danteatkins.bsky.social

Not for nothing but he's just making shit up, telling his audience that Omar is no longer in Congress when she most certainly is.

it costs us all

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Instead of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on things that actually help our economy and improve our lives — like healthcare, housing, education — Trump and Republicans are spending it on cruelty, violence, and chaos. Remember this when you vote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KpI5tg-U74

tyranny

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Trump’s DOJ is indicting and arresting his political enemies. His DHS raided the home of a sitting Congresswoman. His armed ICE thugs are going door to door harassing people under the pretext of finding non-citizen voting. If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it?

this is just one more thing that massive amounts of money can do

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

It seems Elon is successfully squashing the @alexgibneyfilm documentary about him. We can confirm showtimes in the Nashville area have disappeared. www.showbiz411.com/2026/10/23/c...

racism on steroids

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

WATCH: “Mike Rogers & Republicans are just going ALL-IN on bigotry & lies. Really vile… Desperation.” @chrislhayes.bsky.social @ayman.msnbc.com & BOUIE on bigotry from Rogers smearing @abdulelsayed.bsky.social and Republicans are silent. P.S. Rogers backed the Muslim Brotherhood as a congressman

more fake news?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: A new book says Jared Kushner had access to $2 billion from Middle Eastern countri--- TRUMP: It's a false story. It's a totally false story. Totally an incorrect story. It was just fake news. Amazing

POTUS lies again

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump on El-Sayed: "We can't him in the United States-- we can't have him in the United States Senate. I look so forward to Michigan. I think it's gonna be wild. Because he's a total phony. He's a little phony. He's a jihadist. He's a vicious, violent jihadist."

Elizabeth Warren@elizabeth-warren.bsky.social

$45 BILLION. That’s a low estimate of what the Pentagon says Trump’s war in Iran has cost taxpayers so far, and counting. That money came out of American pockets for a war that’s making life more expensive.

never is a long time

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: Do you think it's right for the richest man in the world to have so much power over what goes on in a war because Russia and Ukraine? TRUMP: Well, I don't think he does. First of all, he's a very good person. He's not gonna do anything wrong. Elon will never do anything wrong.

how much was she paid to make that ad?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: Now that you know the backstory about Amy Acton and her stepfather and why she hasn't talked to her mom in so long -- her stepfather was indicted for rape -- do you change your mind about the ad? TRUMP: No. No. It's a mother speaking badly against Amy Acton. You don't know anything.

let the cheating begin.....

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed an unprecedented lawsuit Thursday, effectively calling for Alaska’s Division of Elections to set aside the results of the Senate race if anyone other than incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan (R) wins www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse@whitehouse.senate.gov

Every remaining scenario for climate safety shows overshoot, so carbon capture is needed — and so is carbon pricing. Fossil fuel being allowed to pollute for free is now lethal to climate safety. Period. It’s price or fail. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

the feds have no jurisdiction in state elections

Democrats Organizing For America@democratsofa.bsky.social

Here we go. Of course we MIGHT, in a "doomsday scenario"... like, say, the senate is going to flip to democrats, or some catastrophe like that. Election certification belongs to THE STATES. Period. Unless Putin invades California, YOU, sir, have zero say in the matter.

dire consequences of border policies

Cascadia Journal@cascadiajournal.bsky.social

This so sad and infuriating. A Canadian woman who lives in the US enclave of Point Roberts and was detained by border patrol agents for six hours over bogus illegal voting claims has died because she was too scared to cross the border again to get medical care. www.cascadiadaily.com/2026/oct/20/...

the fix is in

Jen Fifield@jenafifield.bsky.social

We found that USPS cuts have caused at least a one-day delivery/postmark delay, most affecting states that allow ballots to count if they come in after Election Day as long as they’re postmarked by that day. Rejection rates increased most in areas that voted for Trump in 2024.
