You asked us to show up and vote.
We expect the same courtesy.

The reddest county in the entire country this year was Grant County, Nebraska.

Absolutely insane to be R+85 in a state that was only R+6.

Abdul El-Sayed on why he would be willing to call it "Trumpcare-for-All" if it meant Trump would sign it:

"Donald, if you're watching, we can put your name on it. I know you like to put your name on stuff. You can finally meet the unmet promise in America to guarantee everybody health care. So, it's on the table if you want to do it."

We give House Democrats the biggest blue wave in 100+ years and they repay us by getting stuck in traffic and missing a vote to impeach a war criminal.

Nebraska’s election is truly like its football team… seeing all these other states having a turnaround/upsets while we still keep the standard choke towards the end and still feeling the pain 🥲

Help get @abdulelsayed elected to the senate! Jewish safety depends on a real multiracial democracy—and Abdul is the one fighting to protect it.

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.

This is awesome.

If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.

[Janice Hough @leftcoastbabe]

So three weeks before an election DHS raids Ilhan Omar's home over immigration paperwork from 1995?

If we're going back that far, how about investigating immigration paperwork for Elon Musk (who also arrived here in 1995) and Melania Trump (1996)?

[JJ @bryndensraven]

men in replies are telling me "its just male humor"
ok kewl but i dont get it. I dont get the joke. where is the joke in "women are whores now" - whats the punchline? someone explain it to me, my ladybrain is not smart.

[Laura Bassett @LEBassett]

The whole Republican party screaming about Talarico being out with the flu for 9 days while they're wheeling Mitch McConnell to work in a vegetable state after his 3-month absence is just incredible

Shoutout to the Christians who spent the week defending livestreaming a public execution then got up this morning and went to church.

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

So we're friends with Russia, enemies with Canada, and are going to livestream a public execution like we're Al Qaeda?

You do understand that this is fucking nuts, right?

[Jen @oregonwoman]

Its crazy how people are perfectly comfortable suggesting all sorts of inconvenient, expensive restrictions on women & girls' freedoms in an effort to avoid male violence,

but the moment we suggest restricting the lives of men & boys in an effort to prevent them from perpetrating violence against women & girls,

People lose their minds.

Almost like there's double standard.
