EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration threatened Ohio with “costly litigation” unless it bans the counting of ballots that arrive after Election Day. The move underscores the president’s broader effort to disenfranchise large numbers of voters by eliminating mail ballot grace periods.

Wow, $4 milion is a lot of money. But as @samshirazi.bsky.social notes, we may be at "ad saturation" at this point... bluevirginia.us/2025/10/fina...

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Another pro tip for @cnn.com guests: Remember never to say on air that Scott Jennings is lying on air and that network management is paying him to lie on air when, in fact, he is lying on air as the network pays him to do 🤣
"I hope your beeper doesn't go off."

A year ago today, a racist tried to make a 'joke' about me being killed by Israel. It was the 1st time I've ever walked off of live TV. That night CNN said they'd ban the racist from their air. But in the year since, I myself haven't been invited back on CNN.
Absolutely insane moment on CNN

Too bad your too busy texting on Bluesky and posting videoclips, apparently your MIA and don't have time to push a vote on anything like your colleague Senator Kaine just did.
I never saw any post showing you at a protest on 10/18.
Your so busy posting every other videoclip of you talking at us!

And what have you done about anything? At least Kaine is working! What are you doing besides texting on Bluesky & posting videoclips of yourself?
Show you work

You're not earning my vote.I'll be voting for your primary opponent.
You didn't even show up for a protest on 10/18

Thank you, Senator Kaine! How to get the miserable House speaker to earn his salary & enable Americans to be represented?

Last night, the Senate passed our bipartisan legislation to undo Trump’s tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of goods from Brazil. The House should follow suit and stop Trump’s unnecessary trade wars that raise costs and weaken our economy.
The Senate approved a bipartisan resolution to end the national emergency underpinning President Trump’s tariffs on Brazil — an indicator of growing GOP frustration with the president’s trade policy.

The move reflects frustration over President Donald Trump’s trade actions among a group of GOP lawmakers, though it cannot pass the House.

Modern authoritarians seldom cancel elections, because they prefer the veneer of democratic choice that voting provides, and because they can tilt the playing field toward themselves. “No one likes an election better than Vladimir Putin,” the Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias told me.

Americans don’t have to imagine what attempts to subvert an election could look like, because it’s already happening in one state.

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?
