I'm 65 and a Michigander voting for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social. My Medicare Part D for 2027 jumped 33% to $1,200/yr. Part B & Medigap TBD but likely ↗️. Medicare as-is isn't free, and Medicare for All would mean a full revamp: fill the gaps, cut the corruption. Hear Abdul explain how in the 🧵below.

Sadly, if this allegation is true, it wouldn’t be the first time Donald Trump was found to have raped a woman “the jury’s finding that Mr Trump ‘sexually abused’ Ms Carroll implicitly determined that he forcibly penetrated her digitally-in other words, that Mr Trump in fact did rape Ms Carroll”

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Some of the most meaningful moments on the campaign trail have been spending time up in the Sault with the Bay Mills and Sault tribes. We must protect tribal sovereignty, protect our Great Lakes, and ensure everyone can get a good job and know that our basic rights and dignities are preserved.

#Arizona - time is ticking. What are you waiting for? An invitation? Guess what, it's sitting on your kitchen counter in a green envelope. Fill it out all the way to the bottom (yes, it's long but every county and legislative district put out handy guides with their judge and prop recommendations)

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver did a great episode last night highlighting the extremism and at most generous Nazi-adjacent members of the Republican Party, many of whom are up for election on November 3. Please take some time to watch it and send it to others. 💙

Here’s last night’s story about the rising prominence of extremist beliefs within the Republican Party, what it has to do with the upcoming elections, and why being 31 years old is one of the least cute ages you can possibly be. https://youtu.be/SnsBI4YxwIs

Obama: "The guy has become billions of dollars wealthier in office. Nobody disputes this! It's just -- how do you do that when you're supposed to be looking out for you? And the worst part of it not a single Republican in Congress has done anything to stop it."

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.
