Look, the simple truth is that on November 3rd, the Republican Party needs to be punished. The Republican Party needs to be punished BIG TIME for continuing to embrace a sociopathic madman who is a traitor to, and an enemy of, America. VOTE.

Big Brother is watching, but now we can watch Big Brother right back. I love that MapQuest is flipping the script. Apple Maps, where you at?!

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE? Under the 2022 congressional map, nearly all of Kansas City is within the relatively compact 5th Congressional District. 🇺🇲⬇️🗳⬇️🇺🇲 Continued In Comments

Abdul punches back and doesn't take shit. He isn't a weak centrist nothing. People want fighters.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

BREAKING: We're challenging the DOJ’s attempt to preemptively block Alaska from certifying their election results if President Trump’s preferred candidate doesn't win.   The Trump administration doesn't get to reject election results it doesn't like.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

She’s 13 years old. She’s pregnant. And it wasn’t her choice. At her age, she may not realize she’s pregnant for weeks. Even if she does, she may not know whom she can safely tell. 🇺🇲⬇️🗳⬇️🇺🇲 Continued In Comments

Robert's Right ✅️.......Vote Blue 💙

We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.

Wow. Wayne Thorburn, the former Executive Director of the Texas Republican Party, who literally wrote the book on how the GOP came to dominate Texas politics, has said he voted for James Talarico. Texans of all political backgrounds are coming together to reject Ken Paxton’s corrupt & immoral ways.

Just saw this #Talarico ad and THIS is what I want to hear & see from Democrats 🇺🇸 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance #Texas

Polling shows Democrats could win 53–54 Senate seats — but control is still too close to call. This comes down to turnout. Period. Every Democrat needs to show up and vote like our lives, our rights, and our democracy depend on it — because they do. No complacency. No sitting this one out. VOTE.

🇺🇸🇺🇦President Zelenskyy to the U.S.: "Just give us back Starlink. I can't understand the reasons for limiting us, for not allowing us to defend ourselves. I think it's a mistake."

🚨SENATE BLUE WAVE ALERT: Nate Silver’s model now gives Democrats roughly a 75% chance of winning the Senate — with the current polling map pointing to a possible 54–46 Democratic majority. Even a 2-point polling miss still leaves Democrats ahead, 52–48. Keep pushing. Vote. Volunteer. Donate.

Just saw an exchange every politician should note. Someone said their dad was considering Ashley Moody because of negative ads about Angie Nixon. Angie showed up in the replies, addressed his concerns & made it personal. People want to feel heard, not talked at & Angie’s response is perfection 🔥

He didn’t hold back. 🇦🇺💬 From across the ocean, this Australian gives a raw, unfiltered look at modern America. It’s a perspective most people are too afraid to say out loud, but it impacts all of us, no matter where we live. This is a global wake-up call. #USA #USAPolitics #AmericanCulture

Holy moly did Aaron Sorkin write this or is this real life?? Treat yourself and watch the whole thing. I want to watch these kinds of interactions for the next 6 years on the national stage. We've got to do our part to help get Abdul to the Senate.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

The Ketamine Klansman is a greedy, soulless piece of shit.

@tevin.m.davis …A master class on reading someone for filth!

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 VOTE BLUE 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!
