Good win. We're going to have to run the table with these lawsuits, which will come fast and thick as we approach the election and for weeks after.

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

“on the outskirts of Richmond, Va., the owners of an industrial warehouse emailed the Trump administration asking for their own waiver. Their wish was granted. Nine months later, the facility accidentally released a large plume of carcinogenic gas into the community.”

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

Two thoughts: This false, despicable ad is proof that Vivek Ramaswamy knows he is about to lose to Amy Acton. No mother who loves her daughter would do this. Her complicity reveals her.

Just because Trump's defense for taking Russia's side in its monstrous, criminal aggression against Ukraine is incoherent, twisted and full of lies does not mean it is any less dangerous. To the contrary, he is doubling down again and believes he can rationalize his betrayal to Americans.

Trump is siding with Russia. Again. He’s attacking Zelenskyy for striking Russian oil refineries, while Russia has been relentlessly bombing Ukraine’s energy grid and civilian targets. 1/

California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion. Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion. What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare. Vote yes on Prop 40.

Lots of good news today for Dems. Don’t get complacent. Check your registration. Go vote - early if you can. Let’s win this fucking thing.

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

⚡️ "Give us Starlink, open it for us on Russian territory, and we will destroy his ballistic missile launchers," Zelenskyy stressed that stopping Russian ballistic launches would force Vladimir Putin to negotiate, rendering further energy strikes unnecessary.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge gains 4) Repeat This is why we must get Big Money out of politics — and support the candidates who will fix the system.

Americans for Tax Fairness@4taxfairness.bsky.social

20 years ago the top 15 political spenders put less than $15 million into the midterms. Then Citizens United was decided. Now, just 170 billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms. Just in case you wondered why the economy only seems to work for the rich.

🚨Holy shit, brilliant animators just made a devastating ad against Republican corruption: “A massive flood of money… impacts every part of our democracy.” Trump’s corruption is putting our democracy, our rights, and our future up for sale. VOTE. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

What did I say about: (a) Scott Colum and (b) Annie Andrews. The South is more diverse than Maine or Kansas or Iowa. In a wave year, who knows?

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Worth watching: South Carolina Dems are starting to roll out ads featuring GOPers endorsing Dem Annie Andrews. On our pod, Jalisa Washington-Price, who runs a PAC, says a $2 million ad buy is set to feature a former GOP lawmaker from a deep red county: newrepublic.com/article/2163...

What happened after Donald Trump took a wrecking ball to federal child care programs? 400+ day cares shut down in Oklahoma. 300+ programs shut down in Indiana. HUNDREDS more have closed nationwide. Our families deserve better.

Susan Collins is always horrified by the predictable results of her own vote, which means Mainers who genuinely care about Susan Collins should elect Troy Jackson as he won’t vote for things that wind up upsetting Susan Collins, unlike Susan Collins

Bobby Kogan@bbkogan.bsky.social

I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

In case you missed Susan Collins embroiled in a pay-to-play scheme… Maine, it’s time to send Susan Collins packing this November. We can’t afford six more years of being sold out to Trump and Collins’ corporate cronies.
