Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

We live in Colorado and are watching the Texas-Oklahoma game on our Denver ABC affiliate, yet we are being force-fed Texas political ads.

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

Our ballots arrived yesterday; we marked them this morning, and we'll deposit them today in one of our safe, secure, video-monitored 24-hour ballot drop-off boxes. We love Colorado's voting system!

Troy Jackson: "The gentleman's name was Johan Sebastian Guerrero. He had a 3 year old daughter. The only mistake he made that morning was going to work. Because Sen. Collins is not willing to stand up to Donald Trump, he was murdered in the streets of Biddeford for doing nothing wrong."

Early voting is underway, and ballots are being mailed and will arrive soon, so it's critical to have a plan to vote. Ensure you're registered, know where to vote in person if you must, know where to deposit your ballot, and know how to vote a provisional ballot--and VOTE for positive candidates!

This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.

Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…

“The best work can only be done by adherence to the best party; but if adherence becomes changed into servility, the result is that that man had better not belong to any party at all, or indeed, take part in any politics.” -- Theodore Roosevelt, in a 13 October 1904 letter to John St. Loe Strachey

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.
