President Obama: "As a former president, I can tell you sometimes factors beyond a president's control end up foiling the best-laid plans." "That is not the case here. In this case, this administration's actions are directly responsible for rising costs."

Republicans have made using someone’s estranged mother believing them when they lost custody over an alleged rape victim as their closing message. Remember that as you go in the ballot box

I fully recommend anyone add them as a follow in case they haven’t by now!

NEWS: The website and social media accounts for pollster SoCal Strategies have been taken offline after FiftyPlusOne reached out to the firm Tuesday to verify data quality and potential ties to Wedgewood Polls, which admitted to fabricating data this week. blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/more-polls...

To the Republicans saying Dems bring in family members, I can’t say about everyone and I’m an independent. But, I view anyone who is in politics as someone who is fair game to be scrutinized. I personally don’t scrutinize people like Barron Trump or Tiffany Trump.

I would be much more worried about what someone else thinks at this point, even if it changed people’s minds as someone on @nbcnews.com said on meet the end I would not want someone in power who would say it themselves and I would have second thoughts about voting for someone

Be careful that your selection is what you want when you use these machines. You should be able to ask for a paper ballot like I did in my district in MD.

I’ve now seen the Social Reckoning and Now You See Everything! I give the Social Reckoning a 7.5/10 and the Theranos documentary a 9/10.

Trump is bribing you in case you vote for Republicans and if you don’t, he won’t do it per @nbcnews.com (they call it goodies we know what it is). That sounds more like a threat than a promise. Don’t fall for it.

I recommend unfollowing Newsweek. I’m actually going to do that right now. They have a fake headline which I saw on Facebook of course algorithmically pushed to me. The reason that I say it’s fake is because Nate Silver on Still Counting on Wed, said that getting rid of the fake polls

Doesn’t actually change the model much of anything. The podcast Still Counting suggested that it affected primary races more because they promoted candidates that they thought were weaker potentially but we won’t know the motivations behind it

I’ll just echo what I said previously. I said that the person responsible for the grotesque Amy Acton opp ad should resign. Per @nbcnews.com reporting I’ve learned it’s none other than Vivek responsible. JD Vance essentially said get over it. These are the same people who said not to bring family

Into it are breaking every rule. We don’t know how the court case was resolved but we do know what the brother thinks and he backs up Amy. I don’t know what this’ll do other than suppress some turnout which is part of the goal probably.

If you’re an ally of Ukraine and you’re in Trump’s party you have to be on the phone with him right now. Ukraine cannot depend on us if there is a will they won’t they tmz game with foreign policy or if Trump wants Zelenskyy to be a fall guy

I will not be commenting on the Amy Acton ad other than to note I’m aware of it, it’s grotesque and whomever is responsible should announce publicly and resign. I recommend nobody look at it. Read the commentary instead imo

Please don't let your confidence turn into complacency. We ALL must show up & vote! Harris County TX shattered its early voting record on day 1 with 104,201 ballots cast by 6 pm, blowing past the previous record of 63,000 votes set during 2018 midterms.

If Meta suspended the account at the request of or under pressure from the admin, that would be “jawboning” — and a 1A violation. This was exactly what the MAGA states argued wrt the Hunter Biden story and COVID minsinfo. The purpose of the investigation would be to find out if that happened

Mike Masnick@masnick.com

People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...

I think it’s important I advocate for being responsible and doing the right thing, avoiding violence, etc. It shouldn’t need to be said but I wanted to say I fully support the way the no kings protests are being done, I think they’re doing it the right way. I oppose…

The way that the people of France has been burning their own infrastructure. Instead of coming together to try to fix things before it’s too late burning everything down is not a world I want to live in. I fully support peaceful protests, and I wanted to just chime in since I didn’t think I

Mike Johnson threatens us with a good time: "They want to exact retribution on the Trump administration every hour of every day for the next two years"

I like to inform people with what I learn since I make an attempt to spend my spare time in finding out good solid info and sources I can rely on. If I thought Republicans had good ideas and weren’t acting in bad faith I would tell you.
