ICE hasn’t paid for detainee medical care since October. Advocates call it the ‘death policy’ — my latest, w/ @kolyncheang.bsky.social. Spend some time with it www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

Who would ever have thought that we would fall so far that we now face a need to defend Democracy from the president. #VoteBlue up and down the ballots and don’t sit out the Midterms.

As Texans froze to death and we collected snow in our bathtubs to flush toilets, boil for drinking water and cooking, Paxton abandoned us. Vote for the man who didn’t leave. #TalaricoForSenate #VoteBlue #TX

Unearthed footage of Ken Paxton caught on camera fleeing to Utah to go on vacation during Texas’ deadly winter storms in 2021

Tarrant County’s decision to reduce the number of polling locations ahead of midterm elections is another attempt to put distance between voters and the ballot box. We’re not asking for permission to vote. We’re demanding access. fortworthreport.org/2026/09/01/a...

Tarrant County’s November elections will have 92 fewer places to cast ballots than 2022

County commissioners approved a list of sites that drew criticism from voting rights advocates and local civic groups.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social is simply 1 of the greatest, most inspirational candidates to emerge in years, running against Ken Paxton, one of the most disgracefully corrupt politicians of all-time. So the Texas GOP responds by doing what comes naturally to them, of course: CHEATING! 🤮

Thank you to the USPS whistleblower. May your courage be contagious.

1/3🧵NJ lacks a law for incest after a child reaches 18. Aziza’s Law A2158 needs an official Senate counterpart in the New Jersey Legislature. Activists, led by survivor Aziza Kibibi, call on the public to contact state senators to sponsor the matching legislation. pllnonprofit.com/policyadvocacy

I truly believe that everyone gets what they deserve. I really hope that Trump gets exactly what he deserves.

Why can't Democrats be more like Republicans and just hold their nose and vote for whoever the Democrat is on the ticket? Enough with the bullshit purity tests. That ain't getting us anywhere.

Today, I started the day debate prepping with my team, then watched my daughter’s soccer game, went grocery shopping, watched my son’s football practice, and made us all dinner. But yeah, I’m totally a “radical lunatic.”

There's No Denying The Facts, RepubliKKKans.......

Seems the Orange 🤡's renaming Lake Ontario is just as popular as his renaming The Gulf of Mexico, which is... NOT AT ALL. Instead of working on lowering prices, his focus on B.S. like the Ballroom, Helipad & putting his name on the Kennedy Center is the perfect Midterm strategy...for the DEMS!

This is a chance Texans may not see again for a long time. Talarico will serve the state. He will honor the office and his oath. Service means something to him. He is a leader in ushering in new and better candidates. Texas, come on, vote this man into office.

I spent LBJ Day with his daughter, Luci Baines Johnson. I’m running for her father’s Senate seat to continue LBJ’s fight for education, healthcare, and economic opportunity for all.  I’m honored to be in this fight with Luci. In November, we’re going to win back her dad’s seat.

On newsstands now.

You can’t say you weren’t warned

REMEMBER THAT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO VOTE! IF YOU HAVE A VOTE IN THE U.S. MIDTERMS, CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION AND THEN DOUBLE-CHECK IT AGAIN LATER www.usa.gov/confirm-vote... www.vote.org/am-i-registe... www.vote411.org/check-regist... #USPOL #USA #us #uspoli #poli #politics #america

Texans check your voter registration, especially those in Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties. From the article: Suspended voter registrations span the whole state, but these Blue/Blue leaning counties are targets: Dallas: +129,000 Collin: 56,000 Denton: 56,000 Tarrant: + 73,000

Texas Has Suspended More Than 1 Million Voters Ahead of Senate Race

If you’re one of the people who had their voter registration suspended, there’s still time to fix it.

Let's not forget Musk. The man lied on his student visa and made a trillion dollars off us. Surely we could deport him and seize his assets and put all his money towards fixing all the DOGE shit that is now fucking us all to death.

New in PN: Are voters finally realizing that GOP presidents are disasters? "The last 3 R presidents have handed their D successors an economic catastrophe, & the last 3 Ds have had to do their best to clean it up. Why don’t Ds ever say that? I think it would make a difference" — @mjtoma.bsky.social

Are voters finally realizing GOP presidents are disasters?

Michael Tomasky makes the case that they are.

Truth 💥

Every society contrasts older civilizations with their own, feeling superior bc of their modern knowledge & understanding. But societies fall not only bc of ignorance, but also bc greed, cruelty, rage. We need to heal and help everyone to endure.

I hope it’s clear to everyone who cares about the survival of our democracy that we need massive turnout and landslide margins to counteract the lies and cries of fraud that are coming after the midterm vote.
