We said “no kings” and we meant it.

In many states, Tuesday’s elections are your way to say it again!

Elect Democrats!

PA: KEEP your 3 great justices.

MAINE: No on 1 —don’t let them take away mail in voting!

CA: Yes on 50. Balance the Texas steal!

MIKIE-yes.

Newsom: I cannot wait for all the punditry. Historic victories all across the United States of America. Proposition 50 winning by double digits. A new governor of New Jersey, a new governor in Virginia.

I’ll end as I began: thank you for giving a damn.

Johnson’s refusal to seat Grijalva feels like a foreshadowing of this GOP plan to stay in power post-2026 regardless of the outcome of the election. This thread is about a well connected Oregon MAGA activist who just podcasted it out.

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · 23d

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID.
In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in.
How in the world are you going to check our voters?
Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon.
But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation.
For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections.

Ep. 18: September to Remember

So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why?
Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five.
You talk about trade-off, right?
COMMON SENSE

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

Obama, campaigning for Abigail Spanberger— prosecutes the case against Trump and MAGA.

“The Republicans…they’re not even pretending to solve the problem. They have not even been showing up to work.”

“As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the Rose Garden…”

Just so we’re clear…

SNAP isn’t saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothing’s guaranteed.

Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.

Thanks to Republicans, this is how much more families in New York will have to pay each month for their health insurance.

A chart compares 2025 vs. 2026 healthcare premiums for counties in New York with a headline that reads: "Monthly Health Insurance Premiums Will Rise Substantially For New Yorkers"

The Trump admin is rewriting disability eligibility rules.

Changes would fall disproportionately on some of Trump's most loyal supporters in red states. Most affected would be 50- to 60-year-olds without a high school or college education who have, for decades, toiled in physically grueling jobs.
