Is Mitch holding any town halls this month?

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

Trump: Saturday, October 31st, think of this, we have, uh... the election is... you gotta go out and vote. Then you have a thing called November

Did you guys see this in the NYT poll that dropped this morning? Dems have gained 10 points on the idea that we are the party of the working class. That is huge. If we win back the working class while keeping the suburbs, game over.

Generic Ballot Polling: 🔵 DEM: 47% 🔴 GOP: 35% Ipsos / Oct 19, 2026

BREAKING NYT: Trump's new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, was fired Friday, after less than a week on the job, according to three people familiar with the matter.

I want to see a high-quality poll of South Carolina Senate. 

23 days out from election day, the most notable trend emerging from the early vote is large turnout increases among voters of color relative to the same point in time in both 2022 and 2024. In fact, in every state reporting thus far the white vote share is lower than '22/'24.

literally in the next 48 hours! be aware!

It’s Friday night, everyone. Treat yourself to something fun and don’t doom about Troy Jackson. ❤️

Democrats are currently favored this year in state government elections to... Create 4 new trifectas Create 4 new supermajorities Break 4 Republican trifectas Break 8 Republican supermajorities projects.statenavigate.com/25-26/nation...

Any updates from Q? #qanon 😂

When we flip Texas Blue in a couple weeks, how are Republicans even going to treat Trump afterwards? I feel like if they want any hope of keeping the White House in 2028, they’re going to have to completely distance themselves from him.

Remember that tomorrow is September 30th. That means it's the last day to donate to candidates in the Q3 fundraising quarter. The Q3 # will be the most important fundraising # of the cycle. It will determine momentum and lead to big decisions. So...looking to make a donation? Do it on 9/30.

Another massive update from Philadelphia County this morning! Up to 27k mail ballots returned, for a 29% return rate! State average is still less than 5%. Just unreal.

🚨🚨🚨 New Economist/YouGov poll just dropped and Generic Ballot with LV's is Dem +14!! Recall, Economist/YouGov is doing something really smart where they are asking the specific names of the candidates when people are answering, not 'Generic R vs. Generic D' Whew....+14 would be WILLLDDD!

He cannot be allowed to tear down the Kennedy Center.

A gentle reminder that Iran was not weeks away from getting a nuclear weapon. 

Really hard to overstate just how central AI video slop is to the broader authoritarian project. It allows people to visualize fantasies without having to pay the social costs of such actions, while desensitizing people about the act itself. It's 4chan on steroids w a veneer of respectability.

#BREAKING: Over public dissents from Justices Thomas and Alito, #SCOTUS *denies* the Trump administration’s request for a stay in the mail-in ballots case. The USPS Rule will remain blocked—almost certainly through the midterms.

The Senate is back in session today! Excited to see how Mitch is doing. 

Yes! Yes!!

A Missouri poll last month from SLU & YouGov showed the GOP with just a 4-point lead on the generic congressional ballot. In recent years, MO has been R+20, and was still R+13 in 2018. www.slu.edu/research/res...

Mike Huckabee is Marco Rubio according to Google’s AI…. 🙄

We’re not changing it.

Tom Cotton looks older than 49…

@the-downballot.com This is why we can’t have nice things. #LarryHogan

Only 70 days until Nov. 3…

recapping the night: —Dems flip school board of Sarasota County, FL (a stronghold of M4L). —Dems flip school board chair seat in Orange County, FL. —Dems flip at-large city council seat in Jacksonville. —Dems lead in a red Pennsylvania state House seat (all precincts in, though no AP call).

Byron under 50%… 😏

While Byron Donalds is winning statewide with around 50% of the vote, it is worth noting that in several north Florida counties, he's losing and not even coming in second place! Rural Florida is never beating the allegations

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

Ossoff says that Trump doesn’t want to do his job but wants to “travel with Natalie”

Michelle Obama had a garden and asked people to eat healthy, it made Fox News apoplectic. Now there’s a hole in the ground where a third of the WH used to be and it’s gonna cost taxpayers $900M to build a Hitler bunker. And we barely even talk about it.

Prediction markets are not predictive and should not be covered as news

@the-downballot.com Can we talk about Wisconsin Democratic turnout? It’s gangbusters!

We might live in the most self destructive country ever. We could've had everything and destroyed ourselves. Remarkable.

AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins

Bill Cassidy is the biggest cuck in the history of cucks.

ALERT: Judge dismisses Reflecting Pool criminal case against David Hearn. More details to come.

Just set up a $25/month recurring donation with @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social on @actblueorg.bsky.social

@the-downballot.com Did you notice that 500,000 more Democrats voted than Republicans last night? I feel like that’s worth pointing out. Both sides had competitive elections for Governor or Senate.

Is Mitch “allowed” to pass away this week?

Do you think Trump truly processes the loathsome hate that hundreds of millions of people have for him? Like is he actually aware?

Once again, Republicans are playing games. Today, they’re bringing up a bill that they *want* you to think is a stock trading ban for members of Congress. It’s not. They’re also attaching a subsection of the SAVE Act to it because they know Democrats won’t support it. It’s diabolical.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

Hot Take: Mitch McConnell holding the seat but not being able to vote is a GOOD thing. He can stay in rehab until January for all I care.

OSSOFF: If there's one person who committed election fraud in Georgia, it's Donald Trump—when he dialed up our state's senior most election official, and tried to bully him in a recorded phone call to “find” the exact number of votes Donald Trump needed to win in a state

Blanche slips! 😬 KENNEDY: Are you and President Trump friends? BLANCHE: I'm his lawyer. Was his lawyer.

The most recent episode of Drag Race All-Stars pissed me off.
