Early voting is already underway in some states. From now until Nov 3, I urge you all to... 1) Help get out the vote 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.

Over a dozen states have important voter registration deadlines today. Check your registration and make a plan to vote at IWillVote.com. Then ask friends and neighbors to do the same.

If only our nation's press had accurately reported on Trump's catastrophic cognitive decline, when it mattered - during the election campaign. ... But they had their hands full handwringing about Biden.

Finally. Volume II.
Jack Smith’s Mar-a-Lago report should be public. Donald Trump wants to keep that from happening.

"Hunter Biden was on a board in Ukraine" was enough to whatabout away Trump family corruption And "Twitter made exceptions for Trump but got a request from a Dem they rejected" was enough to "prove" bias *against* the right So "Smith was in Georgia, where Fanny Willis is" should've been enough too

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Aaron is not underrating this. It's cinema. The sly smirk when Schmitt thinks he's gotten Smith to perjure himself. The hasty vanishing of the sign. Klobuchar getting Kennedy to hold it up. Schmitt getting LOUD and ANGRY when Klobuchar points out he mixed up the Hawks and Hawkeyes.

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.
