Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Remember: If your vote didn't matter, billionaires wouldn't be spending their fortunes trying to buy our elections. Stay calm, support good candidates, do whatever you can to get out the vote, and vote as soon as you can. Don't let Big Money win.

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

New SEC filings show that Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to pay California’s billionaire tax without losing control of Meta. So billionaires can afford to pay the tax? And they won't lose control of their companies or flee the state? Don’t fall for billionaires’ propaganda. Vote YES on Prop 40.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

TENNESSEE VOTERS: Check your ballots carefully. Local news outlets are reporting complaints from early voters who say voting machines displayed candidates they did not intend to select.

Do not trust the polls. Do not allow yourself to become complacent. Vote early — and get your friends and family to vote. Do not let Elon, Big Tech, Big Oil, AI, and the billionaire class buy this election. We outnumber them — and we're the only ones that can put an end to this nightmare.

Outstanding. More of this, please. Elon Musk is a white nationalist troll using the billions he made off government contracts to destroy this nation. Light. Him. Up.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

NEWS: Elon Musk personally ordered the slowdown of Starlink. Russia was able to target civilians as a result. Meanwhile, Trump is snapping at reporters in the Oval Office as Republicans are rebuking his Russia policy. Oh, and FEMA head just told states they are on their own during disasters.

Notwithstanding that Walmart has pressed no charges for any form of shoplifting, I don’t care if Kohen Wiley’s mother robbed the goddam safe inside Wal Mart—NOTHING justifies the police shooting and killing 1-year-old Kohen Wiley. 1/2

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

SpaceX got almost $6 BILLION in taxpayer-funded defense contracts last fiscal year. Meanwhile, SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, has spent over $360 MILLION in our elections this cycle. This should be illegal — but it isn't. I'll be introducing a bill to close the loophole that allows it.

We’re back with our second story about how Trump’s purge of the FBI killed a sweeping bribery probe in D.C. This time, we take you to South Carolina, where two powerful politicians escaped scrutiny: Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. James Clyburn. THREAD 👇

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Republicans are OK with Russian drones killing kids, shooting at cars with children in them and killing babies, kids getting shot at school, Palestinians being slaughtered in the hundreds of thousands. How the HELL do they have the gall to call themselves "pro-life"?

Arrest Musk. Nationalize StarLink. Dismantle and totally reform this corrupt system so this can never happen again.

Wishing a speedy recovery to Pope Leo XIV. He continues to serve the world as a much needed source of moral authority when many leaders, at home and abroad, are abdicating their responsibilities.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

At a press conference outside 26 Federal Plaza, immigrant advocates and family members of those detained gathered to raise awareness about the arrests. They urged immigrant New Yorkers who have received a “call-in letter” from DHS to get legal help before their appointment.

TODAY is the last day to register to vote in several states. I urge you to double check your state's deadline, verify that you are registered, and make changes to your registration if needed. Then contact three friends or family members and have them do the same. https://whenweallvote.org/

"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.
