Help get @abdulelsayed elected to the senate! Jewish safety depends on a real multiracial democracy—and Abdul is the one fighting to protect it. Get involved and help at abdulforsenate.com/vote go.abdulforsenate.com We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too. We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. It’s one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries. That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next. Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now we’re seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells. Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We can’t protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it. #abdulelsayed #democracy #jewish #midterms

He doesn’t care about Amy’s stepfather raping her as a child, because he clearly doesn’t think child rape is wrong.
YIKES 😳 Trump snaps at a reporter asking him about why he's dismissing sexual abuse allegations 👇 WOMAN REPORTER: Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sexual abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Donald Trump has sent his DOJ cronies to file a bullshit lawsuit to try to steal a Senate election in Alaska. They will fail. When we fight, we win.🗳️⚖️💪

Here they come. They can’t win on their policies. Can’t win trying to gerrymander. So, now they will try to suppress the vote. We vote. We win.

Now I’m hearing from people around the Country in States like Tennessee,Florida,Ohio,Michigan & Texas who are saying that when they push the button to vote Democrat it automatically pulls up the Republican nominee instead of Democrat. Some have requested papers ballots. Beware!

The State Board of Elections’ last-minute changes to voting by mail are leading to thousands more absentee ballots being rejected this election - at a rejection rate twice as high as in 2022. It’s infuriating. North Carolinians, please make a plan to vote this year, in person if possible. And if you’re voting by mail, make sure you seal both envelopes on your ballot. Don’t let them take away your vote.

Wow, the $100,000 bribe for Kimberly Guilfoyle looks like child’s play! Alina Habba was paid $50 million for a pardon, AND it worked! This whole regime operates more like the mafia than a federal government! I gifted this so you can read it nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/po…

It is INSANE for "Senator Graham" to say that she's uninformed on national security, and then read her delusional attack notes blaming DEMOCRATS for the Iran war that trump started in 2026. She voted 3 times to keep it going! Watch Annie Andrews DESTROY her.

This is psychosis. He is profoundly mentally ill. He is not fit to be in any position of power over anyone or anything. He should not control nuclear weapons.
Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

430 trees cut down. A federal judge furious. A public landscape destroyed. This is what happens when power is mistaken for ownership. The trees took decades to grow. They were felled in hours. The latest in The Warning: steveschmidt.substack.com/p/…

A man assaults a woman in front of everyone and what does Trump do… He calls her fat. And the cult will still look you dead in the eye and say he “protects women”. Give me a fucking break.
holy shit -- a protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted after they interrupt the rally by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy"

It’s already started in Sacramento,California a vehicle pulled up next to a mail truck & took trays of mail out of the back of it & put it in their vehicle & drove away & now Sacramento voters are missing their voting ballots. There’s up to a $100,000 dollar reward for them.

I wish more in the media would explain this to your viewers and readers. A line has been crossed here that is horrific.
Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs.

Please vote like Donald Trump is running.

I'll be voting for that bastard who cheated on me repeatedly. The same bastard I had to drive his truck and flee with him to avoid HIM being subpeonaed by a never ending series of criminal investigations. Why you ask? I'm a republican woman, its what we do.
#TXPol: "I'm Texas Senator Angela Paxton. People have asked my thoughts about this election and turns out, I have some ... I'm voting for the Republican ticket on November 3rd." Texas PAC is up with a new ad featuring Angela Paxton, Ken Paxton's estranged wife.
