If the election pans out how it clearly looks it will right now, no party in American history deserves this level of ass kicking as much as the current GOP

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

This National Public Lands Day, we say: Hands Off Our Public Lands! At every turn, we are fighting back against this Administration’s efforts to sell our public lands and bulldoze, mine, and drill across sacred sites. We are fighting back in Congress, in the courts, and in our communities.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

The 2026 election does not happen on November 3. It already has begun with early voting and mail in ballots. Please make sure now that the GOP has not purged you from voter rolls. Then make a plan to vote--if possible early! We MUST win this election. There is no Plan B!

Cancelling votes, refusing to conduct oversight—if you’re not willing to do your job, you shouldn’t have the job.   For 19 months, we’ve watched the GOP refuse to hold this Administration accountable. That’s why voting this November matters more than ever!

With the midterm elections shaping up to be a massive reckoning for the Republican Party, it's worth remembering that they had a fairly easy offramp from Trumpism in the immediate aftermath of the January 6th riot but they completely chickened out.
