691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

🚨 FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA VOTERS! More than 7K voters had their registrations flagged over questions about their residential addresses, & the ACLU is raising serious concerns about errors. Check your voter status NOW. If it says “Challenged,” contact Fulton County Elections.

If you ever need to explain path dependence (or why you need to understand where a system has been to understand what is doing now or how to shift it) here's an illustration.

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

Cover up. By DOJ. Trump’s DOJ.

It’s amazing how much Trump hates James Comey, given he wouldn’t be president without him.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

Of *course* there’s another rape allegation against Trump.

And we know Trump is a stickler about proper handling of national security information…

NEW: A Florida cybersecurity company promised to help clients recover data from ransomware attackers. In a 2019 story, we found the company was making secret payments to hackers and pocketing hefty fees from clients. The CEO was just indicted for fraud.

Everyone should read these threads I did about industry lobbyists and the EPA and understand them. Take the time to see the unambiguous evidence of what's happening now at this moment inside the EPA. Please retweet them. Please read them. Each one of the threads. It's happening in slow motion.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

This is the biggest corruption scandal in American history. The Trump crime family is trying to sell the future natural gas rights of Alaska to the Russians in exchange for $25 billion in cash for themselves today.

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

I know not many people are going to look at these posts related to all those documents that I just burned my Sunday posting. That is ok. They are now in the public record. It was worth my Sunday.

Lula is to my left. Magyar is to my right. And I don’t care in the slightest, because they are the candidates of democracy against autocracy.

"Imagine a mother who would run away—abandoning her children—because she chose a pedophile rapist over her own flesh and blood. And now imagine that woman slithering out from her hole to defame her daughter in the service of helping a cretin."

Dear People On Medicare, BEFORE YOU VOTE. It is Medicare Open Enrollment, go to medicare.gov & check your Part D RX plan for 2027 vs. 2026. Mine went up 3x the amount in a YEAR. That is because of Donald Trump & RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz REMEMBER that when you CAST your BALLOT!🗳️💙

Utahns — send our Lt. Gov. a note of appreciation. Her job should be routine and kinda boring, and certainly not require courage.

A small campaign you can join and make a difference — helping to save lives at the front. And the patches are nice. www.help99.co/patches/corn...

Trump's $5K checks have become a punchline because few think he will deliver. But he has given 1 million people a $500 check (mostly in swing states), and abt 20 million a $90 check (w propaganda letters). No-one applied. The process was automated, using administrative data to target payments.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

Three years ago, 18 of our neighbors were murdered in Lewiston. I had grown up with guns and at the time, I opposed some gun laws. That day, I learned those 18 people deserve more than our grief.

Her timing is perfect

Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas. But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.

I voted! 🗳️ (absentee, online) Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Raleigh, NC. So as an overseas citizen voter, I'm a Wake County North Carolina voter forever (unless I move back to the States). If you're eligible to vote in the US midterms, I hope you voted too!

Best way to fight back? Vote. Minnesota: You can vote now or cast your ballot by November 3.

eeeep!

⚪️ The other Daniel Sullivan has no party designation or incumbent status Alaska uses ranked-choice voting, so voters can rank both Sullivans. And Alaska Supreme Court already ruled the other Sullivan could remain on the ballot. #BlueWaveIn10Days

This is why it's dangerous to give rich people so much power over our lives. Sometimes, they are appallingly ignorant. The Nazis added the word "socialist" to their name purely as propaganda to appeal more to workers. But the party--and Hitler--hated real socialists and communists.
