Many of you are asking how you can help me in these final days before the election. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

The Paxtons’ blind trust invested $600K in a convicted fraudster’s new company. Experts say the trust wasn’t truly blind as the Paxtons reported losses from it on their taxes. Angela Paxton also sat on an affiliate’s advisory board for several years. with @texastribune.org

I talked to Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker who was arrested at work, while he was imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. I called him again once he was deported to Mogadishu. Here's what he had to say.
In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

At least 18 early voting centers in rural Alaska have not opened as of Friday, state Sen. Bill Wielechowski says. The commonality? All the affected areas have at least a 60% Alaska Native population — with nearly a dozen having Alaska Native populations upwards of 90%: https://demdock.com/4yTW5Ze

The "Dems for Mike Rogers" effort is, in part, indirectly funded by the Mike Rogers campaign itself. GLCF (Great Lakes Conservative Fund), which provided the majority of the funds spent by TFM/"Democrats for Mike Rogers" thus far, received $751,801 from Team Rogers in 2026. bsky.app/profile/cons...
TFM/"Democrats for Mike Rogers" has filed their Pre-General report with the FEC, revealing that nearly all of their funding comes from one of two right-wing Super PACs: GLCF, which has contributed $4,100,000 to date, and Moms for Safe Neighborhoods, which forked over $750,000.

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

So, this is still going on. If you can evade being caught on-the-scene, it is perfectly legal in New York City to ram someone with a car. The police will treat you, the victim, like you're a pain in the ass.
A pedestrian who was nearly killed by a hit-and-run driver in Midtown this summer only learned later — after weeks of silence — that the NYPD had closed the 'open-and-shut case' without finding the perpetrator. buff.ly/Otq7uXf

The violence of "border security" isn't always as obvious as a gun in someone's face.
Last month, US border agents detained Paige Adamson, a Canadian green card holder, at a BC crossing, accusing her of entering to vote illegally. Facing a deportation hearing, she feared detention so much she avoided seeking medical care. A month later, she has died.

This is an important point and one way we should use this VF article. Even if the most damning part -- the bank accounts -- is not true, we do know Kushner is a literal agent (financial advisor) to the Saudis and UAE. How the hell is he running negotiations?

As public opposition to data centers (and the dirty energy that powers them) keeps growing, Democrats would be extremely foolish to hand Big Tech developers and the fossil fuel industry a massive sweetheart deal. They should vote NO on the so-called permitting reform bill.
