After nearly two years of economic failure and broken promises, JD Vance’s midterm pitch these closing weeks is “give us another chance.” The American people cannot afford another round of this - and the good news is we don’t have to.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

What happens to American ranchers when cheap imported beef floods the market? Cheap food helps families now, but undercutting local costs threatens family farms long-term. wagyumamaranch.com’s #CupOfJoe says “ Support American agriculture”. 🇺🇸🥩

The tricky part for a future Dem Admin is going to be finding a way to divest the US govt from these companies without tanking their stock price & hurting them over the long term. What Trump is doing is a fundamental tenet of communism while he distracts by claiming Dems are.

Basically the shape of public opinion in the 2020s is that 30% of the US public is implacably in a death cult around Trump and are immune to persuasion, 40% are implacably opposed to the cult, 20% are willing to back the cult if they think it'll help the economy and 10% are insane/misinformed

And it quietly scaled back the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, also known as FoodNet, shrinking the required surveillance to just two pathogens: salmonella and a common type of E. coli. One of the pathogens they made optional for states to report: Cyclospora.

Could they be planning another fake assassination….

NEWS: Trump leaves instructions for Vance if he dies. ICE agents mocked Lorenzo Salgado after killing him. They stripped him of his ID before taking him to the hospital. Agents kept firing even as the car stopped. Now, they are deporting witnesses. Trump rolls back endangered species protections.

Mitch McConnell was complicit in fascism. He destroyed the US Senate and stole Supreme Court seats. Let's not pretend otherwise. If you're a Democrat who doesn't want to call it like it is, how about you stay silent instead? Just like you do on genocide, anti-Muslim & anti-Black violence.

GET A GRIP Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium. No cobalt. No rare-earth metals. Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide. The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems.

This is the most disgusting, disturbing, & evil form of indoctrination I have ever witnessedl Any parent continuing to send their kid to VBS at Mt Olivet Baptist Church in Lexington, KY after seeing this reel deserves to have CPS sent home It’s abuse & we’ll see the pastor in a mugshot soon

And just like that, Republicans have no problem with a sitting president making billions in office on crypto scams, from foreign governments and oligarchs, and industries directly impacted by his orders, policies and regulations.

What are the odds of TWO master orators married to one another? Listening to them speak was uplifting, inspirational and exhilarating. A reminder of another, better time when leaders spoke to our better angels & offered hope & optimism rather than divisive vulgarisms. #ChangeIsComingNovember3rd

ICYMI: Minnesota Republicans hold moment of silence for Derek Chauvin. Yes, you read that correctly. The man found GUILTY of murder in plain sight - viewed around the world, Republicans say he’s innocent. Chauvin will not be released.

Obama: empathy. Biden: empathy. Clinton: empathy. Trump: “Not even a little bit.” There it is, folks. Four words that perfectly explain every tariff, every layoff, every empty grocery shelf. He told us exactly who he was. We just had to listen. #momsky #voterizer #sheshed

This is the vast imbalance in our media ecosystem: Democrats are held accountable for what they *might* do based on the words of their fringe voters and policies they are considering but never happen. Republicans aren’t even accountable for what they *are* doing.

A reminder that as Americans we pay double per capita for healthcare than every developed nation on Earth, AND have the lowest life expectancy. We're getting robbed & bled literally to death by the exploitative for profit system we have. We demand universal healthcare as a human right. Period. 2/2

It is an insane dereliction of duty for any president or Secretary of State-even Trump and Marco Rubio-that they’re at a UFC fight instead of monitoring inept liar JD Vance, untrained real estate developer Steve Witkoff and serial grifter Jared Kushner as they tried-and failed-to negotiate with Iran

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart. And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

Can anyone explain? MAGA, I'm asking YOU. What is it that makes you believe gas prices are down, when they're up? That grocery prices are lower, when they're higher? Or that the rest of the world respects our country, when they don't? Why does the con man fool you? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Mohommad Nazeer put his life on the line to protect U.S. service members. Then he immigrated to the U.S. and did everything he was supposed to do. ICE fascists picked him up arbitrarily. The next day he is dead in an ICE facility. He leaves behind six young children. Share his story.

Trump is on the cusp of establishing state media in the USA with the FCC’s help YouTube video by Qasim Rashid @democrats.org #RegimeMedia

Qasim Rashid, Esq.@qasimrashid.com

I know FCC regulation isn’t the sexiest topic in the world but I need y’all to watch this because we are on the cusp of having official state media controlled solely by Donald Trump and corporate media is ignoring it. This is how autocracy comes to power. youtube.com/shorts/Z8Fwo...

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.
