One of the best speeches I’ve seen from Gov. Newsom. Watch and share it. Make sure your vote gets counted, and remind friends and family to vote. This is the most important election in modern American history since 2020. Our future, our institutions, and the Constitution are at stake. #Midterms2026

👉 President Jimmy Carter knew Trump was ILLEGITIMATE in his first term, due to the interference by & coordination with the RUSSIANS. Justice Matters #VoteBlue

It's no surprise that Elon Musk has spent millions to keep his puppet Mike Lawler in office. Musk is the operator of the largest data center in the world, and Mike cast the deciding vote to give data center operators $80 billion in tax breaks,

Truth 👇

It was Jared #Kushner who hired a hitman to assassinate Jamal Khashoggi, who was actively investigating his ties to #MBS at the time of his murder. These fucks really should have stayed away from the glare of public life.

BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.

Robert's Right ✅️.......

Kerry Kennedy says she 'absolutely' blames her brother, Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr., for recent measles-related deaths in Pennsylvania. The state has surpassed more than 1,000 measles cases this year, making it the largest state outbreak in more than three decades.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

Lula won. Vučić’s party lost. A House report says Trump was an “active participant” in Epstein’s abuse. And MAGA’s favorite data guru won’t show her own followers the early vote numbers. Today's midday update is packed.

NEW: Illinois First Lady MK Pritzker, wife of Governor JB Pritzker, announces she’s sending $500,000 to Amy Acton after Vivek Ramaswamy’s truly vile ad featuring Acton’s estranged mom.

Fuck you #JoeRigan I’m so sick of these stupid millionaires who will do anything NOT to pay taxes, fuck all the way off!

Democrats have just released a 50-page report detailing Trump's mentions in the Epstein files. Democratic House Judiciary members have also called for an independent special counsel to investigate Trump and AG Todd Blanche's conflicts of interest in handling the files.

Before the Brazilian election where progressive Lula beat right-wing Bolsonaro, Meta is accused of disrupting Lula's Insta and WhatsApp accounts Meta blamed "technical difficulties" That would be more believable if similar incidents had not happened recently in the US Tech billionaires are evil

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

Democrats, don't screw things up after winning the midterms by installing Jeffries as the Speaker. He will too easily play politics with the gavel rather than pounding it down on those in the corrupt Trimp administration. The new speaker needs to... BE RELENTLESS

uhhhh

‼️ This is important. If you can, don’t wait until the last minute to vote. Check when early voting opens in your state at vote.org/early-voting-calendar and plan accordingly.

While making an arrest or conducting a search, ICE MUST present either a signed, judicial warrant to enter private property, or an admin. warrant from the government agency authorizing an arrest or seizure. Spread the word!

I grew up Catholic & went to parochial schools , but am now an atheist . Anyone advocating for putting religion/ Bible in schools needs to listen. Our kids don’t need religion.

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.

Amazing 👇👏

Sounds like a great idea…..

Inject this into my veins. Go vote. Bring friends. The GOP is terrified, and they should be.

It's a bad day for the far right, as they lost in both Brazil AND Serbia! Hopefully, this is a good sign for the next 10 days! Just remember that DONALD #TRUMP IS IN THE #EPSTEIN FILES BECAUSE HE MESSED AROUND WITH LITTLE GIRLS! Don't get distracted. #epsteinlist #epsteinfiles #lula #studentlist

“The powerful can kill one, two, or 100 roses. But they’ll never stop the arrival of spring.” — Lula What an extraordinary victory for Brazil! The Brazilians beat back fascism at the ballot box. We can damn well do it here, too. VOTE!

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

And, most importantly, thanks to the vital mobilisation of young people. Students took to the streets the day after the first round elections, kickstarting massive movements that saw the largest public demonstrations in Brazil since the days of Diretas Já at the end of the military dictatorship.
