GOP ad buyer mixes up Portlands, spends money meant to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins in Oregon
An outside group mistakenly spent nearly $25,000 to boost Collins in Portland, Oregon, rather than Portland, Maine. The buyer admitted to the error and refunded the PAC.

Ride the wave, Democrats! Winning the Senate with 52+ seats would be huge--it probably means a majority for four years at least, and it could mean flipping the Supreme Court. And the TX, OH, FL, and IA governorships really matter. No small ball. Go big, Democrats! www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-2u...

Trump and Stephen Miller’s ICE is out of control. Alex Pretti, a brave American and nurse, was protecting his community when ICE agents shot and killed him. Stephen Miller then tried to smear his name and lie about his death. What else is he lying about?

On 10/8 there were live streams on tik tok in support of hamas and Gaza residents. I was kicked out of one right away after commenting. I believe 10/7 was part of a orchestrated op by Russia, Iran and their proxies to destabilize the usa and Israel. It continues and unfortunately is working

Defund ICE. Take its entire budget and devote it to a Manhattan Project that can devise and implement sound guardrails for AI, and figure out how to stop what can and should be stopped in the way of superintelligence and recursive self-improvement. AI is far, far more dangerous than immigrants.

House GOP leaders cancel votes on Thursday - sending lawmakers home later today until after the elections. That means the House can avoid a vote on the Hegseth impeachment plan from Rep. Thomas Massie R-KY.
