The idea of executions being live-streamed is absolutely sick and disgusting. You don’t hate Pete Hegseth enough

Thank you! I did not realize Raisheda Angus was running as a write-in, so you got her a vote by getting the Meowlot out before I got there.

Democrats need to pick up 4 seats to control the Senate (assuming John Fetterman is a Democrat; 5 seats if Fetterman flips). If Kansas is in play, there are lots of paths to 51.

Can we talk about how suspending the gas tax is pretty objectively bad policy and is just a gimmick politicians use to try to make gas prices go down by 30 cents right before an election?

A mail ad attacking Sherrod Brown.  It does not attack him on anything other than supporting trans rights and immigrants' rights.

Republicans kicked 4 million Americans off SNAP with their Big Ugly Law. They’d rather give billionaires tax cuts than feed hungry children. In a House Democratic majority, we will end this cruelty.

Massachusetts renters: Your security deposit shouldn't just sit in your landlord's pocket. It must go in an interest-bearing account at a MA bank within the first month of tenancy. And your landlord must give you the bank's name, address, the account number, and a receipt.

I am watching the OSU vs. Texas game, and there was an attack ad against James Talarico. They are using a quote of him saying, "Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day." They are acting like that is a scandalous quote. Hilarious or deeply disturbing?

Jon Husted’s staffer took part in “Nazi military exercises” & had a “Tales from Rhodesia” Spotify playlist. The fact that significant swathes of the media ignore the multiple major Republican campaign staffers outed as Neo-Nazis (to focus on Hasan Piker instead) is journalistic malpractice.

Trump's attacks on our civil liberties didn't come out of nowhere. The groundwork for his Orwellian surveillance state was laid by the post-9/11 PATRIOT Act. Only one Senator at the time had the foresight to see what it would unleash.
