One thing you’re seeing in the homestretch in both the Senate and the House is that a bunch of these “safe seat” Rs adapted to compete in an entirely intra-Republican ecosystem and are 100% unprepared to navigate an actual general election

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?

Healthcare has been an economic bright spot, just about the only sector that's both growing and a net plus in jobs. Trump and the GOP Congress scheduled most of their healthcare cuts for 2027, so they'd be after the midterms. That will add to the country's economic problems next year. 2028 too.

Republicans' anti-democracy project has a fast track (Trump) and a slow track (Roberts Court). They sometimes disagree on specifics, but both tracks backslide the US, and do more in concert than they could on their own. If you excuse the slow track because it's not the fast track, you're a sucker.

The US knows Ukrainian air defense relies on US early detection of Russian launches. Without telling Ukraine, the Trump White House (and Elon Musk's SpaceX) withheld that info and hindered countermeasures. The US just facilitated a Russian attack on Ukraine, making it more effective and deadlier.

I'm morbidly curious to see what happens when oil, natural gas, gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel reserves run out. Meaning I think it will be quite bad, and would greatly prefer if it didn't happen, but I don't know what the aftereffects will be, so if it must happen, I'm curious to see how it goes.

DHS raid on Rep. Omar is a great example of very bad by rule-of-law democracy standards, pretty good by consolidated authoritarianism standards. Deeply wrong, with lies, bigotry, harassment, abuse of power. AND a sign of weakness, limited capacity, failure to make the dictatorship of their dreams.

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

🚨President Z is taking out “data centers” that run Putin’s bot farms just three weeks before the U.S. midterms. After the third strike on Yandex's data center, Russian bot activity dropped to zero. This is why Trump and Musk are calling for President Z’s removal. It has nothing to do with diesel.

Ossoff must be headed for defeat. He said white nationalism is bad! That’s woke, which everyone hates. He missed a chance to say “girls sports” and “I’ll hurt immigrants too.” Bad mistake. Or maybe the 2024 election and early 2025 issue polls were not the true and permanent opinion of Americans.

American Blacks are reviled because white people forced them to be slaves. If they don't want to work for free, they're "lazy." If they have to hustle to survive b/c the system is racist AF, they're "criminals" and "thugs." Propaganda survives because it is effective. We have to fight it.

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

Look, Trump welcoming the idea of a foreign enemy murdering millions of Americans isn't great, but at least it's nowhere near as bad as Obama saying economic dislocation can lead people to scapegoat others, or Hillary Clinton saying millions of Republicans are good, it's just the bigots who are bad.
