Dear People On Medicare, BEFORE you vote. Go to medicare.gov & check your Part D RX plan for 2027 vs. 2026. Mine went up 3x the amount in a YEAR. That is Donald Trump & RFK Jr. REMEMBER that when you cast your ballot!🗳️💙
Vote early and in person, peeps. It’s the best way to guarantee that your vote counts. They’re up to no good. By turning out early, in person, and in large numbers, we limit their options for manipulating and suppressing our votes. 💙 🌊
If they’re admitting 81 planes, drones and helicopters worth $3.3 billion have been lost in Iran, imagine what they’re not telling us. The real cost is likely far higher, and our grandchildren will be paying for this unnecessary war and his reckless spending. www.businesstoday.in/amp/world/st...

Very thoughtful thread.
1/ When Viktor Orbán lost power in Hungary, something extraordinary happened inside his propaganda machine. Some journalists cried.Others celebrated. And suddenly, people who’d spent years following orders were expected to tell the truth & they struggled #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
"Mr. Hearn was deprived of his liberty, indicted for a crime he didn't commit, threatened w/ incarceration of up to 10 years & endured defaming of his name" Former Olympian charged w/ discredited Reflecting Pool criminal case asks for Dept of Interior watchdog probe of agency
FFS… Is it really an accident anymore at this point?
There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
When Trump was sworn into his second term on 1/20/2025, the average price of a gallon of diesel was 3.72 a gallon. Immediately before he started a war with Iran, it was $3.81 a gallon. Now it’s $6.38 a gallon. A 67.45% increase in price from right before the war.
Wow, these job numbers are TERRIBLE. Many people are saying we must have an “incompetent” president who is “asleep at the wheel”
DUN DUN DUN -- Fox Business on the September jobs report: "The numbers do not look good. I'm looking at 29,000 jobs added. That is well below expectations for 90,000, and our unemployment rate jumps up to 4.2%. A significant slowdown."
There are a lot of Trump officials who need to be impeached, but Russell Vought -- the quarterback of all the Project 2025 fuckery and a central player in the administration's overreach -- really needs to be at the top of the list.
Unless Congress reclaims its power, this will just become the new normal. A good first step would be to impeach Vought. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/u...
Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.
Paxton has been in office for 23 years in TX, and is saying he’s for affordable housing for all. Really? 23 years ago, Texans could afford homes. Criminal Paxton is why we can’t anymore. Want better? Vote better! Vote Talarico! #Voices4Victory #DV1 #Talarico
