What about turnout?

Safest was to assure your vote gets counted is to vote early. If possible, in person.

3. If you can only vote by mail, put a first class stamp on your envelope, even though it’s prepaid. Postal service has to treat it like first class mail that way. 4. Make calls from home.

Too poor to contribute to political campaigns? Ok. Then do this… 1. Vote at the earliest opportunity you can. Every day you wait costs Dem party $$. As soon as your vote is received, they know to divert $$ elsewhere where it’s more urgent. 2. Put ballot in drop box if you can. Fastest and safest.

I’ll say it again. Montana would be in play if Bankhead pulled out and threw her support out to Seth Bodner, who could win. Bankhead cannot.

Use drop boxes if your state allows them. Vote early. That helps Dems know they don’t have to invest $$ trying to get you to vote early and vote blue. They can then channel those $$ where it can do more good.

Here's an updated breakout of my U.S. SENATE fundraising thru the end of September: --Top Tier Races average ~$22.1K apiece --2nd Tier Races average ~$11.9K apiece --3rd Tier Races average ~$4.1K apiece* (actually ~$4.6K apiece since I can't raise $ for Todd Achilles as he doesn't use ActBlue)

Netanyahu is so much like Trump. In one big way, he conflates himself and the country of Israel, just like Trump conflates himself and America. If you hate Netanyahu, then you hate Israel or Jews is his and his supporters premise. Just like Trump pushes if you hate him, then you hate America.

More… “The non-partisan Legislative Analysts Office projects that behavioral changes, including the possibility of billionaires leaving California to avoid the tax, would probably reduce future state revenues by less than $1 billion annually.”

Prop. 40 would impose a one-time, 5% tax on the wealth of Californians worth more than $1 billion.

“Some of California’s wealthiest residents have spent extraordinary sums to defeat Proposition 40 and advance competing measures, Propositions 41 and 42, that could nullify it. Google co-founder Sergey Brin has contributed more than $100 million to the effort.” That’s telling.

Anybody willing to talk about #California #Prop40? I had planned to vote against it. But the overwhelming inundation of anti-Prop 40 advertising is so over the top, somebody’s spending a TON of money. It’s made me think twice. I never hear anything PRO for Prop 40. Why?

🚨 TEXAS PEEPS, CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION. A DPS screwup left voter registration applications sitting unprocessed for months. The deadline to register is October 5. Don’t find out at the ballot box that you’re not registered. CHECK IT NOW. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Has anyone talked about the #Montana Senate race and how that could be in play in Bankhead were to drop out? She cannot win and dropping out would be a spectacular contribution to the Democratic Party that I would think would not be forgotten.

I’ve wondered when he’d finally cross the line and dare the courts (Rule of Law) to try and stop him. He should have been impeached for any number of crimes by now but Republicans spineless. Power is all with right wing media ecosystem.

For my Montana friends who are voting for a new senator in two months… Since Jan 20, 2025, Republicans control the Presidency, US House of Representatives, US Senate and SCOTUS. Total control. Do you like paying $4.47 a gallon for gas instead of the $2.86 /gal you paid before GOP monopoly?

It costs more for ONE fill up of that truck than: * a new 55” Insignia big screen TV at Best Buy * over 100 dozen eggs at Walmart * a pair of the new Apple AirPods 5.0 * a round-trip flight from LAX to Seattle * 80 quarter-pound hamburgers * 350 pounds of bananas That just ONE gasoline fill-up.

The CHEAPEST gasoline in my town is $5.85 a gallon for regular unleaded. Any guesses how much it would cost to fill up a 2020 Ford F-150 truck with the largest tank from empty? Answer: $210.60

I do wonder how much worse it has to get before a more significant portion of Trump voters finally give up on MAGA/MAGA candidates and vote Dem. I’m thinking of Montana, for instance. What numbers and conditions, if any, would make that Senate race a real race?
