Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

This is how we FLIP THE SENATE! Not one dramatic night — a slow build, state by state, neighbor by neighbor, until suddenly the map nobody believed in is ours to take. It's here. Finish it. Vote early. #BlueWaveIn10Days

As the article points out, the CEO and other top executives of a company founded to export natural gas from Alaska have all resigned in disgust over after learning that they were working to enrich Russian oligarchs rather than for Americans.

Trump's waiver of energy sanctions on Russia has an even darker, more corrupt, side that initially thought. Trump is planning to allow a Russian energy giant to control a big chunk of energy exports from Alaska. Trump and his cronies profit; America loses. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

1/🧵 It’s not dysfunction. It’s design. The GOP uses a ruthless disinformation playbook to confuse, divide, and exhaust the public. They don’t want you informed—they want you disoriented. Here’s how their machine works—and how we expose it. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

1/ I’m starting a deeper project on corruption in Trump’s administration. Not just the scandals everybody knows. The contracts, financial favors, quiet deals & political connections that rarely make headlines. I want to you to help me follow the money. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Texas is delaying its typical September 1 release of maternal mortality data until December 1, conveniently timed to be after the midterm election. Recent reports have shown a sharp rise in ectopic pregnancy deaths after the abortion ban went into effect. www.austinchronicle.com/news/texas-p...

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War — leading to a $93B windfall for the eight biggest oil companies in Q2 2026 alone. Meanwhile, Trump himself has raked in up to $15.5M from his fossil fuel investments since January. Don't forget what this was really all about.

Trump is literally trying to purge voter rolls & redraw maps to cheat you out of your power. Kamala’s answer: don’t let them. Check your registration. Register everyone you know. Turn out so big it doesn’t matter what they try.

It still astounds me that trump found the one guy in the country who LITERALLY looks like a live-action Dick Tracy villain from the 1940s.

Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies. That’s $5 TRILLION every year. Renewables? Barely a fraction of that. We are literally paying to cook our own planet. When does this madness stop? 🌍💸 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels

Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.
