Attn Alaska voters: Some rural Alaska voting sites haven’t opened, while others opened late or had inconsistent hours, creating barriers for Alaska Native voters. Voters deserve reliable hours and clear information about where to cast their ballots.

alaskapublic.orgSome rural Alaska absentee voting sites failed to open ahead of midtermsThree absentee voting sites “declined to open,” the Division of Elections said Monday, and three had not responded to state officials. Some have opened unevenly.

🎯 Dean is right — the fact that every Dem gets grilled about things @hasandpiker said years ago but no Republican gets asked about the racism & antisemitism coming from their top donor Elon Musk all day every day gives the game away. @DanaBashCNN @jaketapper

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Each and every person who is in any way connected should get the same “due process.” From the thugs on the street to the accountants. Rounded up, stripped of all documents, denied outside communications, “processed” and then lost to an unknown hell hole.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.
