FLIP THE HOUSE TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY AND ECONOMY!

#OR voters, there's only one candidate that is looking out for Oregonian's & that's Tina Kotek. Republicans in Washington have shown little appetite for providing affordable health care for Americans & as a result, democratic governors like Kotek have had to fill the void. Re-elect Tina as Gov.

Tina Kotek@tinakotek.bsky.social · yesterday

As your governor, I will keep fighting to make life more affordable, create more economic opportunity, help all students succeed, and defend what makes Oregon special. I would be honored to have your vote on November 3rd.

#OR voters, as a member of the regime party one has to wonder whether Drazan will protect Oregonians in their right to exercise their 1st Amendment rights. Re-elect democrat Tina Kotek @tinakotek.bsky.social as Governor to protect your rights! Visit Tina at www.tinafororegon.com & pls donate. TY.

1/ In Panama, people fought to close a copper mine. Then came fake profiles, AI-generated faces and news-like pages attacking the very people who won. We’ve seen this tactic in U.S. policy fights too. How much of the public outrage we see is even real? #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Inspections by contractors have identified the use of flawed materials and a rush to complete the job as reasons for the reflecting pool damage. Not once was vandalism noted in the report. So do taxpayers get a refund? #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AedTwZJ6YR5C...

Reflecting Pool liner failed in 85 places after flawed renovation, inspection found — The Washington Post

The damage identified by inspectors the contractor commissioned is far more extensive than has been previously reported, a document obtained by The Post shows.

1/ How many people have already decided to keep quiet because they’re afraid Trump might come after them next? No nolawsuit. No arrest. Just the fear of losing their home, their savings, their future. That’s the price of silence, and it threatens us all. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

The founders gave us the tools, and they're in the hands of our elected "leaders". But they have inexplicably chosen impotence over doing their jobs. It's time for us to remove them. Vote. It's the one tool we each have. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

We don’t have a President of the United States, but a partner for Putin. #Trump/Russia was spot on in 2017 and its spot on in 2026. Trump has made our once trustworthy country a betrayer. Want better? Paint it blue this November. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #Pinks #SheShed

“Solitary confinement is rare, and must be justified. Is the administration so afraid of this Major’s words that he cannot talk to anyone?” - Rachel VanLandingham, former AF judge advocate “Walking this path means exposing oneself to violence while refusing to retaliate against it.” Maj. J. Watson

The comparison of what Democrats detail they will do controlling the House or both chambers of Congress and Mealy-mouth Mike Johnson’s plans are very different. As are the outcomes. Johnson says to expect more of the exact same efforts. Doing nothing for typical Americans.

Ossoff: "We will repeal the tariffs, which will reduce grocery prices. We will end this disastrous war which has driven diesel to $6. And we will repeal the healthcare cuts that have doubled premiums for more than a million Georgians. Those are things we can and need to do immediately."

If you were one who abstained or cast a frivolous protest vote in 2024, are your political demands and agenda being served by this rogue regime? Have you lost things that were as important as what you wanted? I’d suspect your goals aren’t attained and it’s unlikely they will be. Vote accordingly.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.
