Makes me glad as hell that @AbdulElSayed won the primary--and will win the seat--because who the hell wants a senator who is more loyal to a foreign nation than their own state and country? Democratic Senate Primary Loser Endorses Republican in Michigan nytimes.com/live/2026/11/01/…
Post, re-post, and re-post again and again and again. This is it. This is the truth. This is the reason to vote.
Thanks to the "Big, Beautiful Bill" and the @GOP commitment to lowering taxes on the oligarchs and making the wealthy much, much richer.

I never laid awake, "fearful that an Iranian nuke would come crashing through the roof." What kept me awake & anxious was watching Trump & his thugocracy dismantle our Constitution. My outrage is at the destruction of monuments, buildings & parks belonging to We The People.
I think members of Auto Workers for Trump have misplaced their faith and loyalty--as well as their brains and the evidence in their daily lives--it they think Brian Pannebecker is guiding them anywhere except over the ledge to financial and social ruin.
A lot of people don't know the meanings you have invented as part of your MAGA Newspeak and erratically assigned to words whose dictionary meanings are entirely familiar to most people and fully comprehensible.
Kudos to them all. Trump is adding to the heap of lies from the admittedly aged Donna Arthur who comes across as anything but "smart" because nothing stops his partisan rants and fantasies.
Oh, fer cryin' out loud. He's the president of the US of A and his issue isn't that the news reported about him is "fake" but that any questions or news that examine his administration is unflattering. He's never been forced to substantiate his lies before.

Journalists should keep hammering Trump on this. It is everything to do with who is speaking truth and what happened to @amyactonoh when she was a child. Keep confronting Trump with his own lies and his attempts to rewrite every narrative.
Apathy is an abandonment of civic responsibility. You get what you vote for and when you don't vote, you may get the worst outcome of all.
What the f*ck do we need a ballroom for? We don't have a monarchy. The government should not be spending the money of We The People on entertainments for a privileged few or Trump's oligarchs and dictator-buddies.

What exactly is "chemical poisoning with a large, and very inappropriate, phrase." And what would be chemical poisoning with an appropriate phrase?
The campaign ad @VivekGRamaswamy asked for, is standing behind, & is continuing to fund is more vile than "gutter politics." It's an insult to the people of Ohio, an assault on all American women, & a celebration of grotesque cruelty.
People often wonder why more good people don’t go into politics. Well, in large part, it’s because of things like what Vivek Ramaswamy did to his opponent Amy Acton. Ads like the one he put out are simply disgusting. They are examples of gutter politics, of trying to paint opponents in the most degrading light.
The ad that he and his campaign produced, endorsed, and are standing behind tells you everything about his character, or lack thereof. It tells you how low he will go. It tells you all you need to know about the kind of politician he is. I do not use the word leader because this is not the behavior of a leader.
We in this country have the opportunity in these midterm elections to elect leaders of character, of compassion, of integrity. Who treat their opponents with respect, with regard for them their history, for their families.
The good people of Ohio know gutter politics when they see it. The people of this country are going to throw men like this to the curb where they belong. May they can sit there and reflect on their behavior. They definitely shouldn’t be sitting behind a desk in a state capital or in our nation’s capital. End of story
Trump's destruction of We The People's property jumps him into the ranks of Adolph Hitler (1889-1945); Hernan Cortes (1485-1547); Tamerlane (1336-1405); Hulagu Khan (1217-65); & Alexander the Great (356-323 BCE) for savage, brutal, & wanton devastation of irreplaceable treasures.
"Move fast & break things." It's @finkd Zuckerberg's original motto for @facebook, but Trump's MO as @POTUS: East Wing, Rose Garden, Reflecting Pool, East Potomac Park, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts; National Monuments & Public Park Protections; PBS; the Constitution.
"Ordinarily, moving historical items within the building is a deliberate process overseen by curators. Hegseth’s staff dispatched its own team to relocate an Eisenhower globe. They dropped it...The resulting gash appears to be several inches wide."

The @GOP has nothing left to run with except scare tactics. The problem is, there are few people who take those scare tactics seriously and most see them for the lies they are. Most people are focused on government corruption, the cost of fuel, the cost of living, and healthcare.
Darline Graham is fixated on men playing in women’s sports and transgender surgeries.
Why is this the GOP’s #1 talking point?
