๐งต1 The footage displays Oct. 8. D.C.โs drop boxes opened Oct. 9 at 11 a.m. Soldiers beside a ballot drop box. In Washington, D.C. Who the hell ordered this? You should never have to wonder whether troops are watching you vote. Commanders owe voters answers. Put the orders on the record.

Senate Republicans took a wrecking ball to affordable coverage. Now 80% of ACA enrollees say costs are higher, and people are forced to choose between keeping insurance and paying for basics. Republicans lit the fire. Do not let them escape the smoke. #RepublicanHealthcareCrisis
Trumpโs Census Bureau wants to change who gets counted, how immigration status is used, and what demographic info is collected. We must stand up to protect our Congressional representation and preserve funding for our communities! ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ Take action by Oct 13: bit.ly/census-comment
Had enough? Thank you @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social and @michnutrish.bsky.social
I donโt remember anyone giving Jerome Powell a check for $100 million. Who gave it to Kevin Warsh, days before he was confirmed and why?
National Democrats have added CD-2 in South Jersey, a seat now held by a Republican convert, Congressman Jeff Van Drew, to their midterm target list.
LA & TX have declared a state of emergency over gas prices.
At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.
Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."
For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.
โWE HAVE TO SHOVE ACCOUNTABILITY DOWN THEIR F***ING THROATS.โ ๐ฅ๐ฅ Katie Phang delivers a fiery sign-off on todayโs episode of Sidebar with Katie Phang: โI donโt want any of you to ever think that we canโt get through this. But I want us to thrive, not just survive.โ
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
KAEPERNICK: The part that I hope people take away in this moment is what Robert Kraft and what theyโre saying by denying Macklemore is they are openly colluding. They also want people to know that if you take an action that they donโt agree with, they will come for you.
A data center in New Jersey spilled 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into a local creek, putting the areaโs entire river system at risk. Is it any wonder nearly 70 percent of Americans donโt want a data center in their community?

โThis shit ends in November.โ A man in a VOTE BLUE shirt says it into a microphone while a crowd fills the space behind him. Anger alone wonโt move a single vote. Register. Read the ballot. Call your friends. Then turn that fury into a vote they cannot ignore. #BlueWaveIn50Days
Nobody is asking for blind faith in candidates. Look at the alternative: people tearing at voting rights, celebrating cruelty, and demanding power with no limits. November 2026 gives every one of us a line in the sand. Do not stay home. Vote blue, and mean it. #BlueWaveIn50Days
Trump's attacks on our civil liberties didn't come out of nowhere. The groundwork for his Orwellian surveillance state was laid by the post-9/11 PATRIOT Act. Only one Senator at the time had the foresight to see what it would unleash.
