The spouses of politicians are now to follow the example of Melania Trump. Live separately from their spouse, rarely appear in public with them, and steal speeches and public service campaigns from their predecessor.

You cannot be a Democrat and side with Trump over Obama in a race. If you do, you're not a Democrat.

There are two phenomenal sources to read tonight in preparation for tomorrow's election results:

One is the 'cheat sheet' from @boltsmag.org and the other is from preview from @the-downballot.com.

First up (literally flipped a coin because I love them both) is Bolts:

I’m glad Gavin Newsom wants to be a liberal hero instead of a right-wing podcaster.

But why does he have so little to say about the tech oligarchs fueling and funding the fascist takeover? He cozies up to them, as do his closest advisors.

California incubated crypto corruption and tech fascism.

I know how hard you worked for this.

Physician here. I left last summer. We are at the “flight of the professional class” part of the descent into authoritarianism.

I’m not a researcher, just a community physician. I left last summer with my family. I wouldn’t have been able to if I had elderly parents to care for.

“These findings highlight that COVID-19, like many other infections in pregnancy, may pose risks not only to the mother, but to fetal brain development,”

And this is why we don’t stop research ! 💁‍♀️

Maine has a chance to do what Congress still hasn’t: pass real, common-sense gun safety.

Polls are razor-thin. This is where voters make the difference.

If you believe in red flag laws, now’s the time to speak up & share this.

AND watch Jordan Wood—a progressive voice that we need in the Senate.

Jordan Wood @jordanwood.bsky.social · 7d

Two years ago, my hometown of Lewiston was forever changed when a mass shooter killed 18 people across the city.

We can’t pretend it won’t happen again.

I’m urging Maine to vote YES on Question 2: a common sense red-flag law. #mesen

I "enjoy" this disconnect between tech titans claiming that AI will have us all eating pastries and working two days a week and the reality of firing people en masse while simultaneously supporting fascists who oppose universal basic income and are actively destroying the social safety net

Fortune headline: "Bill Gates says a 2-day work week is coming in just 10 years, thanks to AI replacing humans ‘for most things"

"Amazon is cutting 14,000 corporate jobs" says Verge headline

subheadline: "Some may ask why we’re reducing roles when the company is performing well,’ an executive admitted, blaming AI for the layoffs"

Even if you are leader of the free world, you don’t just get an MRI without a clear reason to do so.

There’s no such thing as a “screening” MRI.

Oof! I was paying -$1850/mo for myself and my 2 kids for a silver policy in CA. No subsidy. That was the cheapest policy for the benefit level. I knew Trump’s BBB and tariffs would wind up increasing even non subsidized policies. The premiums for employer sponsored insurance will also go up.
