How do you defeat a president who’s trying to sabotage the midterms? 1. Use drop boxes. 2. Vote EARLY in person. 3. If mailing in your ballot, put it in the mail AT LEAST two weeks before Election Day. 4. Vote in person on Election Day. 5. Share these instructions with everyone you know.

Know their names: Scott Kretzschmar, Scott Norris, Diego Sarabia, Gillio Lopes, Winston Lee, Johnathan Newell and Matthew Ingalls #Cornell7 But also, everyone in the group chat, the administrators, university, and DA. SHAME.

Ignore the polls. Just assume EVERY battleground race is super close, assume they’re all a dead heat. Because that’s the truth. So why look at the polls? You already know what the deal is. All these battleground races are super, super close. Period. From here on out, ignore the polls. Vote.

All these athletes getting paid to be the faces of gambling sites should be ashamed of themselves. This will be a terrible look in a year or two, as Americans, especially young people, waste what little money they have on these sites that make the rich richer and everyone poorer.

Trump’s sweaty desperation was on full display in Dallas. I’ll give you $5k if we win, this criminal conman said. “Cheat like hell,” this enemy of democracy said. What pleasure it will be when this poisonous creature is gone.

Ken Paxton’s former top cop on why he’s voting for James Talarico: I spent 2 hours with James Talarico. Number one, I saw no deception. He answered all my difficult questions. He didn’t dodge anything. I think he’s the man who needs to go to Washington DC, and Ken Paxton needs to go home.

The 40-hour work week. The weekend itself. Lifesaving safety standards. Organized labor has changed our country for the better. This Labor Day, we recognize the achievements of our unions and the workers who make the American way of life possible.

@theweekendmsnow.bsky.social As folks with fingers on the pulse, are you bullish on the future of democracy? Or are we done? I believe we’re firmly seated in corrupt tyranny with no out. I’ve had to cut my news to 1 day/week, for mental health. How do you do this everyday?

In 75 DAYS we get to #HoldTheCrooksAccountable by voting for a brighter & safer tomorrow for kids & grandkids. And we will defeat Trump EVEN as he cheats 💪💪💪

This has been a period of tragedy and deep disappointment as the hateful reality of so many Americans and the cowardice of so many elected officials has been exposed. But it also clarifies the collective work we must pursue to build an inclusive democracy based on equality and justice. LFG.

Donald Trump doesn't own the White House. He didn't own the East Wing. The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is not his, either. They are ours and his acts of destruction are attacks on all of us.

Today’s Supreme Court decision will empower Trump and Republicans to suppress voters of color. Republicans want to rig our elections in their favor, but Democrats won’t let them. We will fight back against this attack on our democracy.

Tax prep companies are spending big to BLOCK my bill. Why? Because I want to make filing your taxes directly with the IRS easy and FREE. We can't let them win.

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states. DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand. My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases. DOJ is now 0-5. My firm is 5-0. Lesson: When we fight we win.

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

No, because I can't think of a single Republican who hasn't bent the knee to Trump. I also don't think the GOP is a "conservative" or "center-right" party anymore; I think it's a horseshoe (right+left) populist cult of personality, not really even a party now.

Hey Tom, just curious. Is there a single Republican you would vote for for president, if they ran? Is there anyone left in the party that you could say, yeah, I could vote for that person?

Trump was warned this would happen. He did it anyway. Now, over 10,000 Veterans lost their homes. 90,000 more are on track for foreclosure. On top of cutting jobs, slashing benefits and throwing our heroes into an unnecessary war. The most anti-Veteran President in history.

53 years ago today, the last U.S. combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct role in the Vietnam War. I remember seeing this anti-war PSA back then. Its message is sadly still very relevant today as Trump drags us into another unpopular war.
