As we enter the final month before the midterms, don't get cocky. If anything, it's time to ramp up the work and pour it on. Check your registration. Vote early. Push your friends and family too. Look for local places to help out. Phone bank and write postcards. Volunteer for Election Day.

Trump signed a document touting Super Intelligence and the document has a typo…a pretty significant typo…on the signature page. Trump misspelled the name of the country of which he is President. And neither his Super Intelligence nor AI picked up on the mistake. You can’t make this 💩 up.

Truly a must-read. I started to follow Daniel Dale 10 yrs ago. Found him to be doing a superb job of fact-checking Trump’s lies, real time in a way nobody else does. "Since I joined CNN as a fact-check reporter in 2019, I've devoted most of my reporting time to the nuts-and-bolts…" 1/2

Interesting sartorial choice for an official state dinner by someone who’s supposed to be the First Lady of the United States. On the plus side, at least she wore clothes….

Not to mention he looks like an @$$ saluting, given the whole Vietnam draft dodger thing and his long family tradition of not having anyone serve in uniform. His grandfather came to the United States to avoid serving in the German military, the rest as they say, is history.

He knows he’s not getting anything named in his dishonor when he goes. When his day comes, they better bury him in some undisclosed landfill in the middle of nowhere because otherwise, his gravesite is going to be the most defiled, defaced, vandalized ever in the history of the world.

The U.S. Postal Service has NO role in imposing requirements to states on mailing ballots and the federal government has NO ROLE in running elections. The U.S. Constitution clearly states that elections are run by the states. Of course, the two insurrectionist confederates in SCOTUS dissented.
