Found it – where’s my $1 million? You can wire it straight to the 10,000 election workers who are volunteering their time to protect against your efforts to steal the midterms.

Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com

NEW: Trump is offering $1 million to anyone who reports cases of "voter fraud" in the midterms or past elections that lead to a conviction. It's his latest attempt to present rare cases of illegal voting as a widespread problem that threatens U.S. elections. https://demdock.com/4zaT6fH

No politician should be able to make millions off their office - whether they serve in Congress or in the White House. Senate Democrats will hold Trump accountable for doing just that.

This is life under Donald Trump and Republicans: Skyrocketing health care costs are forcing Americans to skip doctor visits and ration their medications, while millions more are losing coverage.

From a ballroom, to a birthday parade: New reports say Trump has devoted $1.6B in taxpayer money to fund his self-serving vanity projects. That’s 620 times what the average American earns in a lifetime. Americans are struggling to make ends meet, and Trump is treating them as his personal ATM.

Center for American Progress@americanprogress.bsky.social

NEW ANALYSIS: Since the start of his second term, President Donald Trump’s administration has spent or plans to spend at least $1.6 billion in public funding on vanity projects. https://ampr.gs/4kdyUoM

Nope. Senate Democrats have been preparing for this for months and will be ready for whatever they try.    As Trump and his cronies attempt to steal this election, we are fighting them at every turn. Our elections must always belong to the voters – not Donald Trump.

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

Q: Is there any scenario where the DOJ would try to stop states from certifying the election? Trump's Attorney General Todd Blanche: Of course. To say that there's no circumstances that we would ever do that, of course I'm not going to say that.

Another day, another false promise about a health care plan. While Americans face skyrocketing health care costs CAUSED BY TRUMP’S CRUEL AGENDA, Trump lies about a health care plan that will never actually happen.

It’s been just over 4 months since OG Anunoby's tip-in gave New York one of our greatest moments, and greatest summers, in our long, storied history. Congrats to the Knicks on receiving their championship rings tonight and raising the first banner in 53 years! Time to repeat!

This disgusting, antisemitic language from Donald Trump must have no place in our country, especially from POTUS. While unsurprising from a President who spews hatred on the daily, it must be universally condemned by those who want to root out antisemitism and bigotry in all its forms.

Gas before Trump’s illegal war with Iran: $2.98. Gas 233 days into Trump’s illegal war with Iran: $4.30. Americans have spent over $100 BILLION more on gas in that time. No amount of juvenile idiocy from Donald Trump will distract Americans from that fact.

The FCC MUST reject the request made by a Republican group that would allow political groups to make robocalls to cell phones without people’s permission.

Putting Americans in a position where they can be fed misinformation through AI-generated deception ahead of a crucial election is yet another attempt by Republicans to mislead voters.

Trump just gave Putin the best birthday gift he’ll get this year. By giving the Russian economy life support Trump’s deal with the devil keeps getting dirtier. There’s nothing America First about Trump caving in to Putin and exempting Russia from US sanctions.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Breaking News: President Trump signed an executive order to exempt Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

Americans need relief from skyrocketing prices. Instead, Trump is aiding and abetting a dictator who has helped Iran target US troops in the Middle East.

Donald Trump is scared of the American people holding him accountable. Democrats will challenge this and continue to protect your right to free and fair elections.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Breaking News: The Trump administration sued California, seeking to temporarily block the state from counting mail ballots of voters it claims are likely noncitizens. The suit opens a new front in the administration’s legal fights with election officials.

Bigotry against any community has no place in America, and I remain committed to ensuring that everyone, regardless of their race or religion, can live and practice their faith openly in our country.

Remember this, Secretary Rubio?

Patrick De Haan@gasbuddyguy.bsky.social

oil, gasoline and diesel futures all moving lower this morning on reports that Trump may ease sanctions on Russia’s “shadow fleet” of ships, allowing more Russian oil to flow. easing up while Russia keeps attacking Ukraine rewards the Kremlin and pads its war chest.

Donald Trump has made clear that he wants to mess with our elections. We must take nothing for granted. That’s why Senate Democrats announced today that we have recruited and trained more than 100 Senate staff as official congressional election observers. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

They will serve as the Senate’s eyes and ears on the ground in closely contested Senate races. Our elections have always been fair, safe, and secure. We’re committed to keeping it that way.

Is this what Donald Trump meant when he said we’d get “tired of winning”? Because the American people are exhausted.

BREAKING: 2026 has now seen more days with average gas prices over $4/gal than any year before: 158 days

Donald Trump’s “Golden Age” means never ending, higher prices for the American people while he gets a ballroom and billionaires get tax cuts.

The Art of the Deal: Trump sold us out to Putin, and we got absolutely nothing in return.

Patrick De Haan@gasbuddyguy.bsky.social

wholesale diesel prices not blinking over Russia/US "deal", wholesale prices up 13-24c/gal, $6/gal diesel may be here to stay for now- truckers and farmers not going to see any relief anytime soon.

Taxpayer dollars are not Trump’s personal propaganda fund. This court order is a win for taxpayers, but stopping the ads is only the beginning. Americans deserve answers about every dollar spent. That’s why I’ve demanded a thorough investigation into these ads and that all records are preserved.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to halt any further airing of taxpayer-funded television ads touting the president, ruling they are likely illegal.

Trump is doing a deal with the devil to try to help his flailing political fortunes from the shockingly high diesel prices caused by his own reckless, illegal war in the Middle East.

NBC News@nbcnews.com

NEW: President Trump says that Vladimir Putin will “immediately” release hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel fuel onto the global market. It was not immediately clear how this would work, given wide-ranging sanctions that have been applied to Russia since its invasion of Ukraine.

This filthy deal will only aid and abet the same Putin who is helping the Iranians to target and try to kill American troops in the Middle East and who illegally and viciously invaded our ally Ukraine.

Donald Trump is escalating his smear campaign against Lisa Cook while turning the presidency into a personal ATM: crypto schemes, taxpayer-funded propaganda ads, cash for his family - the list could go on forever.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social

BREAKING Politico: Trump has just established a committee of inquiry to investigate whether Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook made "false statements in connection with one or more mortgage instruments" — his latest effort to remove her from the central bank.

This has nothing to do with 'ethical concerns.' It’s about Trump trying to seize control of the Fed, something that would mean even more economic chaos for American families.

The shooting of a New Yorker by ICE agents today is deeply disturbing, especially amid reports that a child was in the car when shots were fired. I’m relieved the man is receiving medical care and the child was unharmed. But enough is enough. New Yorkers deserve the full truth about what happened.

DHS must immediately release all body camera footage and ensure a full, independent investigation. When excessive force is used, there must be accountability. No one is above the law. For months, I’ve warned that ICE’s increasingly aggressive tactics put lives at risk.

That’s why Senate Democrats fought for enforceable safeguards holding ICE agents to the same standards as other law enforcement officers. DHS can make all the claims it wants. The footage will speak for itself. Release it.

We’ve been preparing for months to stop unconstitutional, corrupt schemes just like this one. We’re taking nothing for granted—and we’ll be ready to see and beat these ghouls in court.

Deranged. Delusional. And soon to be defeated. Calling millions of Americans collateral damage in his illegal war that nobody asked for takes a special kind of depravity, the kind only a man as weak and feeble as Donald Trump could sink to.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

First, Trump steals money from taxpayers to fund his propaganda. Then, he illegally coordinates with a Super PAC to keep the propaganda going. And to top it all off, he won’t reimburse taxpayers for the money he stole. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

thehill.comTrump won’t reimburse government for controversial adsThe White House clarified Tuesday that President Trump will not pay back the federal government for money already spent on controversial political TV ads after he said he would start paying for the…

Trump must return this money to the American people, and there must be a full investigation into this gross waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars.

Donald Trump’s ridiculous, corrupt propaganda ads are straight out of Putin and Kim Jong Un’s playbook. As he guts Medicaid, SNAP, and cancer research funding, he somehow finds millions of taxpayer dollars to air blatantly political ads.

NBC News@nbcnews.com

JUST IN: In a major reversal, President Donald Trump said he and his super PAC will now pay for campaign-style ads that promote his administration instead of using federal funds.

I am demanding an investigation into this misuse of taxpayer funds, the preservation of all records related to it, and will be filing a complaint with the FEC about Trump’s illegal coordination with the MAGA Inc. Super PAC as he attempts to pivot from one illegal act to another.

For years, Flock has pointed its lens at New Yorkers. Now it's time to turn the lens around and zoom in on Flock. Flock must delete personal data of American citizens without criminal connections and answer questions about the mountains of personal data they've already stockpiled.

We cannot allow this company to continue to operate in the shadows. No one in New York or anywhere in America should give up their privacy just by stepping outside.
