Obama in Ohio! Seriously if you are running in the midterms who would you want as your "closer"... Obama or Trump? Don't BOooo VOTE!

This is the America I believe in. When barriers go up, our young people don’t back down—they organize, they mobilize, and they show up to vote. Proud of the students at North Carolina A&T, UNCG, Bennett, and Greensboro College who marched miles to the polls. Thank you students. 🙏🏻 VOTE BLUE.

With pivotal midterm elections two weeks away, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan said the high court’s recent decisions on voting and campaign finance have damaged the nation’s democracy.

Instead of ending his war of choice and lowering costs for families, Trump is focused on a 15-month golf course renovation that could cost the American people $50 million.

Donald Trump canceled his scheduled Oct. 16 deposition in his lawsuit against the BBC because of "matters of national importance." The BBC alerts the judge that those matters were: a rally in Dalton, Ga. and a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.

We owe the judges who are standing up to the current adminstration a lot.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: No Kings organizer Ezra Levin SOUNDS ALARM after Meta suspended the movement’s Instagram during nationwide protests. LEVIN: “We might be seeing something similar from Meta in our country right now.” “We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime.”

She's right. Never too young to use your voice.

Jones: I've been told I'm too young to understand politics. Too young to understand why some neighborhoods get parks while others get police tape… But they never said I was too young to inherit the debt…. too young to inherit the consequences of decisions I never got to make

This is what happens when you close the early voting locations on campus! North Carolina, ya all! Tomorrow, the rest of America joins them! #NoKings

Hey, Congress! Where are you?

Don Comer@doncomer.bsky.social

Trump & Musk limit Ukraine's use of Starshield. That's every bit as bad as the behavior for which Trump was impeached (the 1st time). Musk's business interests clash with the USA national security interests. Where is this braindead Congress? Anyone with any honor & integrity left? Hello!

Vote.

They should all be doing this because they know that he's a prolific liar and a con man with absolute bad intentions toward this country. If they don't, then they're complicit.

Does this resonate with Gen Z voters?

Katie Phang@katiephang.bsky.social

There are warning signs of a lower youth voter turnout this year as Gen Z stays focused on its economic anxiety. I’m joined by @racheljanfaza.bsky.social who shares the jawdropping results of her 9 focus groups of more than 70 young people, ranging in age from 17 to 33. youtu.be/6Hyt3Vae5cY?...

I note how Christian Nationalists, who think the public execution of Jesus was the most horrific thing humans ever did, are giddy at the prospect of getting to watch a public execution on live streaming—being so “pro-life” and all . . .

AI is one of the defining national security challenges of our time. Naming a new “Super Intelligence Force” is not a substitute for a real AI strategy. We need clear safeguards, rigorous testing of advanced systems, and a coordinated approach to keeping America ahead of China and other adversaries.

Best news. Former President Barack Obama is officially returning to the campaign trail to help Democrats ahead of the November 3, 2026, midterm elections, focusing heavily on helping the party regain control of the U.S. Senate. Ohh fuck yeah!

Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

Proud of the CDCers who fought to get this vital info out! 30% of our workforce is gone. Heartbroken by the loss of brilliant scientists, institutional knowledge, & frankly my friends, colleagues, & mentors. An understaffed CDC harms the public & leaves the US vulnerable. Rebuilding will take years

I don’t remember anyone giving Jerome Powell a check for $100 million. Who gave it to Kevin Warsh, days before he was confirmed and why?
