NEW: TX U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s new ad blasts Ken Paxton’s “crackdown on voters of color.” It features a Black woman prosecuted for voting when she mistakenly believed she was eligible. The charges came amid Paxton's push to stoke fears of illegal voting. https://demdock.com/4yGEy6s

Nearly 1.9 million more Black and Hispanic voters have voted early than at this point in 2022. Make a plan to vote. iwillvote.com

Turnout in Brazil was 81 percent today, up from 79 percent in the 2022 election.

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Brazil has more than 100 million fewer people than the United States, but its voter participation approaches our total turnout in the presidential election of 2012. They voted at a much higher rate today than we do.

Latest Texas run this afternoon has the early vote at 50% of 2022 turnout. First state to cross this threshold election.lab.ufl.edu/early-vote/2...

Trump doubles down on Islamophobia towards Abdul El-Sayed: "He would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he's allowed to go into the Senate. I want him to have a metal detector."

I, for one, think it’s great that the online right has decided to make the president‘s expensive and largely illegal renovations to the White House the focal point of the election

AM early vote update. We continue to see a significant surge of blacks, young people, & Hispanics voting in this year's early vote. Here's % increase compared to 2022 on same day: 11% Black 25% 18-29 42% Hispanic/Latino As polls show D margins at 2022 or better it's encouraging stuff.

The corruption that is putting money in Trump's pockets is costing all of us.

Hispanic turnout is up 40% nationwide over the last midterm in 2022 because it's a matter of life and death. The racist weaponization of immigration enforcement is causing a huge backlash against Republicans, as it rightfully should.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

@tbonier.bsky.social it would be wonderful if we could get modeled nationwide data on Black/Hispanic early voting turnout for the whole country, you know, like a daily total number of each in the week leading up to the election. I used to depend on your site for easy access to those numbers.

VP Kamala Harris: For the last year and a half, we have been pissed. We've been depressed, angry, frustrated, feeling alone, hopeless, powerless. That phase where we felt hopeless and powerless is over.

Access to healthcare matters. Making life more affordable matters. Our right to vote matters. Mississippi matters. Thank you to VP Kamala Harris for knowing just how much our state matters. When Mississippi succeeds, our nation succeeds. Let’s win big on November 3rd!

there is no other current or former politician in the US who gets this sort of response

Black turnout in Louisiana and South Carolina rose dramatically this year because of Republican attacks on Black representation.

As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.

The Republican Party is a racist, corrupt, anti-democratic criminal conspiracy. That was clear years ago but y'all continued to vote for them against all common sense and here we are. Democracy will remain under threat as long as you blindly continue voting for them.

The power is with the people, and the people are with @scolom.bsky.social. Mississippi, make sure you are ready to pick another senator on Tuesday, November 3.

Trump White House attorneys are evaluating whether to issue mass pardons to junior staffers — as Trump allies press the administration to protect lower-ranked officials from prosecution and other legal challenges, according to two sources familiar with the conversations.

The indictment of Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is a case study in racism, sexism, and hypocrisy. The charges relate to her efforts to secure a state cannabis sale license—and she is being held to a standard that does not apply to Donald Trump and his family. youtube.com/shorts/8K1Vu...

NEW: Attorney General Todd Blanche did not rule out that the DOJ could try to prevent a state from certifying election results, adding to concerns that the administration could try to intervene. The federal government has no authority over the certification process. https://demdock.com/4i7RDQ0

Democrats have filed a lawsuit against Trump and the Trump Justice Department — alleging that the administration is unlawfully interfering with the midterms by pressuring states to remove voters from their rolls.

NEWS — President Trump will hold a rally in Corinth, Mississippi, on Monday, per Magnolia Tribune. The announcement comes as Axios reports that Senate Republicans are increasingly concerned about Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith’s race against Democrat Scott Colom. Dems have announced a $1.2M ad buy.

North Carolina Early Vote Tracking 🌲 As of Oct. 21, 2026 Total early votes: 904,271 - 717,763 (+186,508) 22.9% of projected final turnout. Modeled 2026 Vote: 🔵 Roy Cooper: 57.8% - 67.3% 🔴 Michael Whatley : 30.7% - 40.2% Remaining votes in NC will be more Republican. We rate this race as Likely D.

You can always tell when there are no people of color in the room. This is egregious and speaks volumes about racism in the workplace.

10/21 Forecast Update VoteHub's generic ballot average remains steady at D+8 to D+9, making Democrats overwhelming favorites to win the U.S. House and very narrow favorites in the Senate. 🔵 U.S. Senate: 60.1% (+1.3% since October 1) 🔵 U.S. House: 87.4% (+1.7% since October 1)

Black voters are driving the early voting surge in the South because they won’t be silenced. After the SCOTUS Callias decision, Republicans wasted no time gerrymandering to weaken Black voting power. Now some of those safe red districts are shifting left & looking a lot more competitive. Oops.

The cost of everything from groceries and gas to housing and childcare is going up because of choices made by Donald Trump's administration. Those choices have consequences. So do elections. The midterms are our chance to elect leaders who will fight for the people.

NEW — Vivek Ramaswamy is doubling down on a controversial ad which depicts Amy Acton's estranged mother attacking her, per Axios. Acton's mother lost custody of Acton after her husband was charged with sexually abusing Acton.

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...
