The food bank is a worthy cause. But consider donating to a Democrat in a tight race.

This piece of crap, another attempted bribe seeking votes, showed up in my inbox this morning. Note the fine print at the bottom (third frame) -- paid for with our tax dollars. This guy's chutzpah and desperation are off the charts. #Trump #Election #Bribe

It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences. "The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...": www.ms.now/news/pennsyl...

Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak is the largest in decades in the U.S.
The state has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year, health officials said Monday, making it the largest outbreak in the U.S. in more than three decades.

#Arizona Re-elect Adrian Fontes! You need an election official who answers to you, not party bosses. Adrian Fontes, a Marine, prosecutor, stood firm when politicians tried overturning AZ results. He made ballot tracking work so you could follow your vote. Fontes will protect your vote! #Pinks #OneV1

🚨 The last jobs report before the midterms is a disaster. Just 29,000 jobs added in September. Unemployment rose to 4.2%. July was revised down to a LOSS of 10,000 jobs, while August was revised down by 29,000 jobs, from 162,000 to 133,000. 1/

Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

As a reminder, Democrats picked up 41 seats in the House in 2018, while losing two seats in the Senate. We should see a bigger pickup in both chambers this time, to put it mildly. But do not get cocky and coast here. Run through the tape.

Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

True. But impeachments lead to Senate trials and convictions. But don’t spend as much time on that as on passing bills that would help Americans and which Trump will veto. Set up the 2028 campaign!

Trump’s proposed DC golf course could cost taxpayers up to $49 million. While families fight to afford food, rent, and health care, his administration is moving money toward remaking public land around his ego. Public money. Private vanity. Corruption, again #StopTrumpCorruption
