BC flipped conservative on Saturday. 64 seats out of 93. Provincial voter turnout was 48%. In my riding? 17%. We have work to do here. The rise of the far right is not inevitable-but we have to fucking show up. #bcpoli #cdnpoli @charlieangus104.bsky.social

Bibi needs American taxpayers to fund for his GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card.

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov

For years, Republicans have been pushing to cut FDA funding. Recent outbreaks (diarrhea lettuce) prove we can’t keep cutting domestic spending to fund foreign wars. Congress MUST reject Trump’s $1.5 TRILLION war request and focus on real priorities—like keeping our food safe.

washingtonpost.comThe FDA rarely inspects much of the produce Americans eatAmericans are eating more imported fruits and vegetables, but less than 10 percent of facilities that account for 90 percent of shipments have been inspected since 2009.

🚨 $47 BILLION! That’s what Trump’s war in Iran has cost the U.S. military, according to new Pentagon figures obtained by Reuters! More than $29 BILLION to replace ammunition alone! And the full cost of repairing damaged military bases isn’t even clear. #USDemocracy

Picture waking up to the news that the strongman who ruled your country for 14 years had finally lost. That’s what happened in Serbia on Monday. People poured into the streets, crying and celebrating. I’d love to wake up November 4 feeling that kind of joy. #BlueWaveIn7Days

Hell yeah🔥 Mississippi, Scott Colom is bringing bold outside-the-box thinking to this Senate race. Holding a press conference outside Trump’s rally was one thing, but actually walking over and engaging with Trump supporters was another. #BlueWaveIn7Days

In case y'all are unaware of how Lula turned it around and prevented an authoritarian takeover of Brazil: the kids decided to get involved in their future. When young voters rise up to save their democracy, magic happens.
