Very glad to hear that Elon Musk is a stickler for details on contractor – government relationships. Could come in handy later.

Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

Billions of our hard earned tax dollars that were meant for science funding went unspent. The money will be spent on whatever Trump's priorities are, not basic research. Brought to you from party of waste, fraud of abuse. 🧪 cen.acs.org/policy/resea...

I love it for Ramaswamy that he has tanked his entire political career and made Amy Acton a classic study in courage with one, single ad drop.

Release ALL the Epstein files NOW!

No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels. In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.

Michigan, let's make history in nine days.

If they can even find Chuck to give him power back to nothing with yet again

Schumer and Jeffries will give us two years of disappointment, frustration and excuses. And then they'll be begging for our votes again in 2028 and promising real change.

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

Thousands of North Carolina midterm ballots are set to be rejected over minor technical issues after a federal court upheld strict new Republican-backed rules for mail voters, according to data shared exclusively with Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

She is right. In authoritarian regimes they name things in appropriately, often using words to mean the opposite of their meanings, eg. "democracy" means one party rule. If they lose an election they say it was a freak election or stolen. Here are some examples I have noticed in the Trump regime:

Are they finally starting to get it? In Michigan, Trump voters are feeling the financial pain of his tariffs, and some are having serious regrets. A Detroit restaurant is losing $30K because Canadian visitors aren’t coming. #BlueWaveIn10Days

Scoop: White House lawyers are weighing preemptive mass pardons for junior staff, sources says Under discussion: Pardoning everyone involved in deportation, war, or trade policy www.washingtonsun.com/whitehouse/w...

Defend free elections. Protect the truth. Stand up for your neighbors. Refuse to accept injustice. Democracy needs more than our outrage. It needs action. Only 10 days left. Don’t wait for someone else to fight for your future. VOTE EARLY! 🗳️ #BlueWaveIn10Days

Is this a president who makes you proud? C’mon, people. Vote out every enabler of this petty, vengeful, little man. Trump is threatening to not pay out Camp LeJuene’s settlement money if Republicans don’t win the midterms, something that is, in fact, illegal.

Feels good
