⛽️ Gas prices have now been above $4 for more days than ANY other year on record. Trump’s war with Iran has forced Americans to spend an extra $107 BILLION on gas alone — roughly $2,000 per household.
Ohio's early in-person voting has drawn nearly four times as many voters as it did at the same point in the 2022 midterms, according to data from the Ohio secretary of state's office.
Ohio early in-person voting nearly quadruples from 2022 midterms

Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 10h ago🚨BREAKING: With the threat of federal election interference looming large over the midterms, Senate Democrats plan to send more than 100 congressional staff to observe voting sites in nine states — the first program of its kind for the upper chamber. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
They laughed in his stupid face and I love that for him.
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 10h agoGood gawd, Andy Harris is a piece of work. He’s about to lay the bullshit on REAL THICK about why diesel prices are through the roof, and his town hall audience can’t control their laughter. People know the truth. Even his own constituents are calling him out. #BlueWaveIn20Days
NEW: Is the clock about to run out in the “Cornell 7” case? I dug into a statute of limitations issue that could gut parts of Jane Doe’s civil suit and keep some of the men from ever being charged. Read all about it on Slip Opinion: annabower.substack.com/p/is-the-clo...
NEW and BREAKING @wired.com: Trump White House aides see almost no paths to Republicans keeping control of the House, according to three sources familiar with the situation — and are more focused on trying to save the Senate majority www.wired.com/story/trump-...
Trump Aides Admit the House Is a Lost Cause
With the midterm elections just a few weeks away, the White House knows it has to go all in on Senate races—while virtually forfeiting the House.

The immutable, unnamed American law of The Dumbest Thing That Can Happen Will Happen dictates that the Democrats will win the House handily, as projected, and take the Senate 51-49, making John Fetterman the most powerful flesh husk in America for the next 24 months.
Gosh, this clip is from 2024. I wonder what it could be that’s causing it to go viral today?? What could it possibly be? 🤔🤔🤔
"Stupidification" *is* a word and it's what he's been doing for a long time to anyone who listens to him
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayTrump: "We want them to talk about diversitay, as I say. One of theszeeumsm -- diversitay, very elegant person"
He is a psychopath and he is psychotic. What's it going to take to get the American media to talk about it?
The Polish Foreign Minister responds to claims that Musk strangled Starlink access to Ukrainian forces costing Ukrainian lives.
My name is not the reason we're paying $5/gallon for gas. My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name is not the reason you can't afford your mortgage or rent. My name is not the reason you can't see a doctor. Their policies are the reason.
You gotta go get somebody to unlock protective glass at the pharmacy if you want some soap or deodorant

The ability to answer this well says everything about running as an empathetic three dimensional being in order to enact an agenda with and for people as opposed to running as an amalgam of poll-tested points to win simply for sake of doing so.
Melissa Ingle@m1ngle.bsky.social · yesterdayThis man is so good at this! What an amazing answer. A reporter asks how El-Sayed can campaign with Barack Obama when he has criticized him in the past. El-Sayed’s answer - that you can love someone and still criticize them - is spot on.
*its, also spellcheck was designed by men I know it
“Your kid wouldn’t be acting like that if you had a dad around” is something a neighbor just said to me on the street and I’m just going to say that men and their biases and opinions and conduct just really need a hard body check right now. (I liked this neighbor until now.)
Plugging to add that the folks at NINJA are watching that warehouse like a hawk. Seriously amazing citizen watchdogs. Hopefully Williamsport and others are being watched day and night for the kind of shenanigans happening in New Jersey!
A recording shared with us by the fine folks at Project NINJA says that the DOJ has confirmed to the Roxbury, NJ town council that ICE has been using the warehouse there for training. We reached out to the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey about what that training entails.
Voting early takes your name off the call, text, canvass, and email lists. #VoteEarly
Jess Craven ❌👑@jesscraven101.bsky.social · 11h agoHere are five reasons it’s critical to vote early in these midterm elections.
If you care about your neighbors getting kidnapped by the secret police, you better vote for candidates who will fight to abolish ICE. Full stop.
Update: this man has a wife and two kids. He has been here for three years. Never had an adverse event with immigration before being kidnapped off the street in broad daylight on the way back from a Dunkin order. No deportation order. It’s a straight abduction.
Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social · 19h agoYesterday afternoon in my town, ICE kidnapped a man walking home from Dunkin Donuts with coffee for his family right off the street. New Jersey is under siege. This is the least violent kidnapping we’ve had, but it’s still a kidnapping.
HUGE: Nearly 200,000 Georgians voted yesterday, SMASHING the state record for most votes on day 1 of midterm early voting. Georgia is ready to make history this November.
So Musk is saying it was the Trump Admin who did it and the Trump Admin is saying it was Musk who did it.
