Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

The resistance around the world keeps growing. Brazil and Serbia are thousands of miles apart, but people in both countries are standing up to authoritarianism. They’ve shown us what can happen when people refuse to give up.

One person does not want you to see this movie. But everyone else does.

Let’s all pre-order @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social ‘s MUSK documentary. It’s essential viewing and certain “powers that be” want it to disappear.

This is extraordinary news. From Hungary to Brazil, the world is saying no to authoritarianism. Now we’re going to bring it home and put an end to Trump’s regime.

I know that everyone is focused on Trump's attacks in California and Alaska. My team is fighting in court in both places. But understand the fight for free and fair elections is much broader. Elias Law Group is currently litigating 92 voting and election cases in 42 states plus DC.

OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

A despicable ad from Vivek Ramaswamy who is a despicable person. Desperate Republicans have run some horrible, dishonest ads to distract from their failures in office, but maybe none worse than this one.

Trump doesn’t care about the general public. His only concern is walling off public lands into private enclaves and business opportunities for himself and wealthy cronies.

He's betrayed the American people, our country, and global relationships. It's obvious who he is serving. Putin owns him. Why? "...you have a US president who might as well be skywriting his support for Russia and his betrayal of Ukraine." #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
