Trump and his Republican allies are counting on Americans staying home so they can cling to power. DON’T GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT‼️ Early voting is already happening in multiple states, with more opening soon. Make your voting plan. Bring someone with you. Make your voice heard. #VoteEarlyPlan

It’s sad that this is necessary, but we’re glad to see action being taken to protect our elections. More than 100 Democratic Senate staffers will head to key polling locations this November to observe the election process as part of a new, first-of-its-kind Senate Election Observer Program.

HAYES: “Trump calling Abdul a jihadist, Vance calling Talarico gay...” @ossoff.bsky.social : “Obviously it’s bigoted & offensive, but also politically weak. 40% of 🇺🇸 go without food/health care to afford gas, and they're throwing around schoolyard insults…” (From @acyn.bsky.social )

Filipkowski on Putin: He is intentionally humiliating Trump. He wants to diminish the United States. He wants to diminish our credibility and our prestige. What better way to do it than week after week after week, making the president of the United States look like a clown?

Trump on Cognitive Exam: “They give you five words: Hat, Hair, Logo, White, Black. I repeated them later. They said, “holy shit.” Almost no one can do it. But I can because I’m a freaking genius. He already forgot they were Person, Woman, Man, Camera and TV. Courtesy of @acyn.bsky.social

This ICE goon was caught driving drunk. He crashed multiple times and put hundreds, if not thousands of lives in danger. How are these the people keeping our country safe???

Sen. Angus King says he sat down and made a list of everything Putin could possibly want from an American president. His conclusion about Trump? “This guy, this president, is doing almost all of them.” King then goes through the list. WATCH.

Musk throws Trump under the bus

“Instead of seeing a president enrich himself and his family…” Gov. Abigail Spanberger delivers a brutal assessment of Trump's priorities: vanity projects, corporate tax breaks, healthcare cuts, and reckless wars. And she says voters are ready to respond.

#NC11 Your are still buried under $60 bn in Helene damage. Congress promised the money over a year ago. It never came. Instead they cut Medicare/Medicaid-premiums keep rising, rural hospitals are closing. Jamie Ager will fight to deliver for you where the current Congress won’t. #ResistanceUnited
