Fixed it for Trump.
Trump's post announcing a diesel deal with Russia. I've covered up false claims he made with grey boxes, and in yellow text written what is true, including that "receiving bribes from Vladimir Putin" is his greatest priority.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. (Published Feb. 2025)

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

If you’re near LA, the Bay Area, or New York City, join a rally to demand our leaders stand strong against a Paramount-Warner Brothers merger. Oakland: www.mobilize.us/notabovethel... NYC: www.mobilize.us/notabovethel... LA: www.mobilize.us/notabovethel...
No Concessions.
Block the Merger.

Twelve state AGs sued to block Paramount's takeover of Warner Bros. We raised our voices about how this mega merger would lead to job losses, fewer creative opportunities, more censorship, and reduced free expression. In a stunning blow to Paramount, the AGs filed suit and a judge issued a restraining order.

Now we need to take action to make sure the Attorneys General stand strong!

RALLY WITH US!
• Oakland: 9/20 5pm @ CAAG Office, 1515 Clay St
• NYC: 9/21 9am @ NY AG' Office, 28 Liberty St
• LA: 9/22 10am @ WGA West HQ, 7000 W 3rd

Perfect. Thank you. did the same after I saw this.
Email: I’m an experienced GOTV volunteer who has knocked on doors in 3 counties over 2 decades, and until your recent statements, I was planning to do more for your campaign (once the weather was safe again). Your recent comments on trans rights are just incredibly disheartening.

My incredibly brave kid, M, started dressing more masculinely in our tiny East Texas town in 2016 (before it was cool!). Drum major of our lauded high school band, M got permission to wear the regular uniform for the band, not the girl one prior female drum majors had worn, and proudly led our 500-member band all over Texas. The experience was vital to becoming the joyful leader that M is today.

Today, adult M lives away from Texas because it’s even less safe for them here than it was back then. How can I tell them that I am working for a candidate who would make kids like them miss out on these foundational experiences?

I know what more Ken Paxton means, and you have my vote. But I have to answer to my loved ones and neighbors, and I think you should, too.
