Come on Ohio. Peaceful protest take an ominous turn when the other sign plans to bring their weapons. Intimidation and fear is about the only thing they have left to rely upon these days. Let’s hope that cooler heads prevail. Vote for Laalitya and Cara Jacob’s!

Our campaign is about protecting free speech & dignity for EVERY hardworking Ohioan. That means access to healthcare, stopping reckless data centers - and yes even counter protests to our movement. But we won't back down because we deserve BETTER. #cincinnati #ohio #davidhogg #democrat

Planned Parenthood provides critical health care for women, and it was great to be at their annual gala with so many leaders who are standing up for women’s health. As Governor, I will stand up for women’s freedom to make their own health care decisions in Minnesota.

They should be ashamed. To pray with a man that is this evil and deceitful

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

More than a million Oregonians rely on the Oregon Health Plan, our state’s Medicaid program. Christine Drazan voted against legislation to help fund it. I’ll keep fighting to protect OHP coverage for every family who needs it.

The importance of salmon might be a novel idea to the Lower 48, but every Alaskan understands. Fish is how we feed our families, drive our economy, and sustain our way of life. I’m the only candidate fighting for our fisheries, not the factory trawlers.

newyorker.comAlaska’s Senate Race Could Be Decided by SalmonMary Peltola, the Democratic candidate for Alaska’s Senate seat, is a key part of the Party’s plan to retake Congress. She really just wants to talk about fish.

Some of the most meaningful moments on the campaign trail have been spending time up in the Sault with the Bay Mills and Sault tribes. We must protect tribal sovereignty, protect our Great Lakes, and ensure everyone can get a good job and know that our basic rights and dignities are preserved.

Juan Ciscomani quiere que creas que es bipartidista e independiente, pero su historial dice lo contrario. No se puede renombrar un registro de votación 100% con sello de goma.

Juan Ciscomani wants you to believe he’s bipartisan and independent, but his record says otherwise. You can't rebrand a 100% rubber-stamp voting record.

Our campaign is recently getting some national attention because it’s clear that Tennesseans are ready for change. They want groceries they can afford, fully funded public schools, and an end to corruption in government. Early voting is NOW through Oct 29th. Election Day is Nov 3rd.

One in four Mississippians rely on Medicaid. Let that sink in. Now think about what $1 trillion in cuts means for our families, hospitals and communities. Cindy Hyde-Smith voted in favor of that.

Iowa Farmers paid $151,081,106 more for diesel for spring planting this year. And this is before diesel hit record highs this fall, just in time for harvest. The Iran war is devastating Iowa farmers. Zach Nunn voted 5x for this.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.

Amanda Marcotte@amandamarcotte.bsky.social

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Why is Trump's DOJ refusing to release ALL of the Epstein files or prosecute the abusers identified in those files? Is it because the files keep implicating Trump? We need a special prosecutor to get to the truth.

🚨BREAKING: Judiciary Democrats’ report details mounting evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities and DOJ’s cover-up; specific accounts involving 11 women provide more evidence of potential sex crimes. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Only Merri reposted

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

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...

Here's the topline of my analysis on this afternoon's 2-1 Ninth Circuit ruling in the California ballot case:

Only Merri reposted

House Judiciary Committee Dems released a report laying out case against Trump emerging in the Epstein Files & DOJ’s desperate efforts to cover it up, w/Dems calling for an independent special counsel to investigate the president & AG Blanche’s conflicts of interest and reluctance to share evidence…

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

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...

🚨 Gov. Josh Shapiro rips into JD Vance in a new interview. “The only smart thing it seems like [Trump] did was not endorsing Vance. That guy is just a profoundly and PATHETICALLY WEAK human being who wants to preach morality every day.”

I’ve used “Bang Bang” which features Nicki Minaj as background music for a few of my juggling videos. I won’t use it again. Not in protest. But because the person behind it ruined the association with fun and pleasure. A cool syncopation isn’t enough. It needs a non bad person behind it.

Oregon's future shouldn't be dictated by trillion-dollar corporations - it should be decided by Oregonians. I'm proud to stand alongside @janefonda.com in the fight to put people over mega-corporate interests. As your Governor, that's exactly what I'll continue to do.
