I don’t endorse political candidates and this is not an endorsement, but imagine having a serious pediatrician serving as a U.S. Senator, I think that could really help the country @AnnieAndrewsMD that’s it

There is not one competent honest person in this photo. It is not a cabinet it is a junk drawer.

Please don't overreact to the Guard headlines Governors activating their own Guard for election cybersecurity is old news, 15 states did in 2024. No sign it's been federalized DOJ says FBI & ICE won't be stationed at polls Something off? 866-OUR-VOTE -TN news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law…

A judge said Trump’s DOJ made its own “emergency” to toss 20,000 California ballots, “solely due to its own neglect.” Two courts told them no. Make Congress tell them too: actionnetwork.org/letters/te…

.@peggyflanagan fought to raise Minnesota’s minimum wage and tie it to inflation. When ICE descended on Minnesota, she stood up to Trump. And she rejects corporate PAC money. She fights for working people, not billionaire bosses. Vote for Peggy!

A federal judge has rebuked the Trump administration's attempt to force California to set aside 20,000 ballots over dubious claims of noncitizens on the voter rolls. This ruling comes after the DOJ tried to force California to review the list of 20,000 voters in just 48 hours and set aside the ballots while they do so. The administration has already appealed this ruling, with their ultimate goal to get the case up to the Supreme Court. We'll keep you updated so make sure to follow us.

I’ve had enough of the American Horror Story we’ve been living in. 👻 Let’s scare the hell out of the science deniers by doing something terrifying: showing up at the polls in numbers they can’t ignore. Now THAT would be a plot twist worth celebrating! #BlueWaveIn5Days

Obama interacting with supporters. You can put a term limit on the presidency but you can’t legislate this much influence.

Since when does the attorney general stump at a campaign rally? The law says it’s illegal, but in the Trump admin it’s practically part of the job. Lutnick, Burgum & Duffy have done it too @nytimes on complaints @DDFund_ & partners have filed👇 -TN nytimes.com/2026/10/28/us/po…

For years, Vivek Ramaswamy has criticized unions and even vowed to abolish teachers' unions. I am a proud member of a union family - my grandfather was a union steelworker in Youngstown, and my husband is a proud 44-year public school teacher. As governor, I will always have working families’ backs and fight to keep Ohio’s unions strong.

This is sick and disgusting. 🤬 I got physically sick watching this video of a man who had already been tasered, hit the asphalt and then proceeded to have a policeman punch the shit out of him with 22 more blows to the head. The man was unarmed and helpless, with witnesses saying he appeared to be having a mental episode. This officer should be permanently fired.
Police punch Hispanic man already pinned to ground—22 times. Officer had already shot him with taser. "He stiffly hit the ground after being tased, and his head banged on asphalt," said witness. "Cop mounts him and starts beating—later 3 more piled on." Just because man was standing in the road blocking some traffic. Witnesses say he looked like he was having a mental episode—and was not trying to harm anyone. Emergency crews were called and took the man to the hospital. Local police confirmed the incident occurred at 3:15 pm—but released no other details except to say it was "under review." Incident occurred on Auburn Way near 37th Street NE in Auburn, Washington.

🚨 MUST WATCH: Take a few minutes to hear Gov. JB Pritzker rip Trump into shreds and compare his bizarre behavior to President Obama. “I’ve said Trump’s got dementia. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. President Obama is just the best… Trump is ridiculous figure.” Brutal.
🚨 BRUTAL: Gov. JB Pritzker calls out Trump’s broken promises on costs and foreign wars. “He has not fulfilled a SINGLE promise that he’s made.” Trump promised lower costs and an end to wars. Americans got the exact opposite. Damning.

When I went to vote tonight the poll worker checking me in said, “I know who you are. You did my angioplasty in 1995.” That was my first year after fellowship. How great is that?

Meet Kali: the guardian stray dog who died battling a venomous cobra to protect over 30 kindergarten children in Odisha, India. Villagers said Kali fought bravely, refusing to back down even as the snake struck her repeatedly.

VP @KamalaHarris on Jon Ossoff: He has proven how he fights for the people of Georgia. He has proven that he has the courage to speak truth to power. He has the courage to point out the most callous, corrupt, and incompetent presidential administration this country has ever seen. We need Jon Ossoff back in the United States Senate to hold this administration accountable to the people.
