The many beat the money. The people beat the corporations and special interests. Hope beat hate and fear. Michigan, we won.
Great to join Wayne State students getting out the campus vote as we all work into the final hours to support Abdul, Jocelyn, and excellent candidates up and down the ticket here in Michigan. Michiganders, there’s still time to cast your ballot if you haven’t already: iwillvote.com
Hundreds of Minnesotans are leaving their "I voted" stickers at the site where Alex Pretti was murdered by ICE agents.
MICHIGAN REPUBLICAN: “I voted Democrat. It felt good.”
Happy Election Day 🧡🗳️ I’m proud to have cast my ballot for the amazing leaders we have here in Arizona, including my Congresswoman @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social, Governor Katie Hobbs, and Attorney General @krismayes.bsky.social!
We voted, and it felt great! Make your plan to do the same, if you haven't already cast your ballot: IWillVote.com
This is what Jesse Watters evocatively described as the "fear porn" that Republicans and the right-wing media gin up to help the GOP. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...
Fox News is peddling election "fear porn" about Democrats to rescue Republicans

They're now going with "Democrats will literally kill you" to get out the vote in these final hours.
So I’m thinking Musk should try it before anyone else?
Google is trying to use its monopoly power to force AI into our public schools. No corporation should have the power to dictate how we teach our children. Our public schools exist to serve students, not to grow the profit margins of Big Tech.
Google Will Turn Off Search for Schools That Reject A.I.
Google is making it easier to restrict its A.I. tools for students. But schools that block A.I. entirely will lose student access to Google’s search engine.

Donald Trump's dangerously low Halloween flyover was a reckless vanity stunt. He terrified local residents, disrupted flights and risked aviation safety to parade around his new Qatar-gifted toy—wasting taxpayer dollars, even as prices keep soaring. I'm demanding answers.
All across the country, I’ve heard from folks who are sick and tired of what they’re seeing from politicians right now. This Election Day, we have the power to vote for the candidates who will bring about the change we need.
It was a little foggy out this morning. View from Sandifur Memorial Bridge, Spokane, WA
Hey, folks, just a quick message: KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL There is only one goal and that is to WIN. The rest is a distraction.
Another demented hoax from a desperate, corrupt congenital liar.
October 21, 2026 - Fall vibes along the Spokane River, traveling the Centennial Trail east of town in the valley.
Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China. We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.
The Josh Smead for Congress bus tour came Maryville and I introduced him to my community. It’s refreshing to see a candidate willing to speak to the people. If you’re in Missouri’s 6th District, please consider Josh. He cares. He’s working. He’s the best choice. And the other guy is fucking crazy…
For more on Teepell and his father, here’s a whole investigation I did: religionnews.com/2024/07/08/t...
The Washington insiders helping Sean Feucht spread Christian nationalism in Congress
WASHINGTON (RNS) — 'It is time in America that we take back territory,' Sean Feucht said in a video promoting his efforts to build a base on Capitol Hill.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
October 17, 2026 - Saturday afternoon along the Centennial Trail in the Spokane Valley. The river appears in good shape right now. A clear emerald, making a lot of noise coming off these rapids.
October 16, 2026 - More autumn color along the Centennial Trail this afternoon, across from Felts Field.
October 16, 2026 - Along the Centennial Trail on a Friday afternoon where the river can be contemplated sitting on actual boulders provided at Boulder Beach in the Spokane Valley.
October 15, 2026 autumn along the Centennial this week is turning colorful. A view of the Spokane River out by the dam, and the bike trail through Gonzaga University.
Kimberly Guilfoyle has resigned from her position as Ambassador to Greece, per Donald Trump's request. Last week, @jeetheer.bsky.social laid out her numerous shady business dealings, apparently too corrupt for even the Trump administration:
Kimberly Guilfoyle Is a Master of Mafia Diplomacy
The US Ambassador to Greece is making suspicious deals for her buddies.
