Yes! Go VOTE, but act like we’re down 12%!! This is VERY important. Turn out like this is the election to save our democracy, because it is. #VoteBlue ⬆️ and ⬇️ the ballot folks.
Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

For Bexar County, Texas, here is a direct link to check your mail in vote status. goelect.txelections.civixapps.com/ivis-oab-ui/... I mailed my ballot on Oct 3rd. The website shows "unknown" status as of Oct 5th. The link to check status seems more difficult to find since the primary.

I remain undeterred in my fight for the release of the entirety of the unredacted Epstein Files. We just have to keep pushing and pushing them with everything we’ve got.
Per his lawyer, Blanche has produced to the judge the unredacted handwritten FBI interview notes of a victim who alleges sexual & physical abuse by Felon Trump. Here's the latest, incl. Blanche’s attempts to get a stay from the appeals court for foreign language documents. youtu.be/IEhnvAhlitw?...

MI Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed unloaded on Trump over soaring gas prices and the war: “When you’re the president of the United States and people are struggling with gas, you don’t sit there and talk about your new helipad or your drapes in a ballroom.” “You actually go and do your damn job.”

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

“Over the past few weeks, researchers have identified 16 videos featuring Sarah Jessica Parker, Julia Roberts, & other American celebrities. Matryoshka used real footage of them, manipulated the audio, and added CNN’s logo to the videos to make the messages look real.” 💙 @olgalautman.bsky.social
