D+11 on a generic ballot probably looks something like 40 seats gained in the House - IF we don’t get complacent.
Have you registered to vote yet? Have you double checked to make sure you’re still registered? Do you have any documentation you need to vote? Start planning now.
Here's our last parody song about the #USElection2024. It's called "Bohemian Trumpsody" (based on the inimitable @QueenWillRock but with only six voices & no overdubs) & we've self-trolled in it as 'libtards' already, just to save folks time who might be offended 🎶🗳️🤞

The situation in western North Carolina is devastating. The reality is bad enough, we don’t need conspiracy theories, misinformation, and lies. This does nothing but hurt rescue and recovery efforts underway.
GDP has grown 2.7% more than the CBO predicted in 2020, before the pandemic even happened.
That’s an impressive recovery from an economic crisis that left nearly 15% of Americans unemployed in April 2020.
Thank you, President Biden.
@D1SCHER I’ve was a season ticket holder til last year. This is the first season, except for the Covid year, that I didn’t go to a game. Agree that more need to do the same - but Arte counts on OC peeps wanting entertainment rather than baseball.
Here is a list of 12 completely fictional stories Donald Trump has told in the last month alone.
Even calling these lies does not do them justice. The Republican presidential nominee is regularly delivering vivid tales that have no basis in reality: https://t.co/YS3k7WSoTb
A friend of mine who voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 just sent his family and friends this letter.
He doesn't want to be identified, but he said I can share it:
"Dear Friends and Family,
I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on the choices I made in the 2016 and 2020 elections, and I feel compelled to share where I stand now, with honesty and a heavy heart. I voted for Donald Trump twice. At the time, I believed he was someone who could shake up the system and bring real change. I wanted an outsider who could improve the economy, defend our freedoms, and drain the swamp in Washington. But looking back, I can’t help but feel deeply disappointed and even ashamed of those choices—especially now that I have a daughter.
My little girl is 4 years old, and as she grows up, I’m realizing more and more what kind of world I want her to live in. A world where people are treated with respect, where leaders bring us together rather than divide us, and where character matters. I want her to be proud of the values we stand for as a family and as a country. But how can I explain to her that I voted twice for a man who, time and again, has shown blatant disrespect for women, spews hate, and sows division?
One of the hardest things I’ve grappled with is Trump’s treatment of women. His behavior—whether it’s his demeaning comments or the way he talks about women like they’re disposable—makes me sick to my stomach. How can I teach my daughter to stand up for herself, to know her worth, when I supported a man who clearly doesn’t respect women? When the "Access Hollywood" tape came out in 2016, I dismissed it as “locker room talk,” thinking it didn’t really reflect his policies. But looking back, that was a warning sign I ignored, and I regret that deeply.
Beyond that, Trump promised to unite the country, but instead, he has built his presidency on division and hate. Every day, it seemed like he was picking a new fight, demonizing anyone who didn’t agree with him—whether it was the media, political opponents, or everyday citizens. He thrived on pitting Americans against each other, and it’s clear now that the only person he was truly interested in serving was himself. This constant barrage of anger and hostility wore on me, but more importantly, I don’t want my daughter to grow up in a world where our leaders thrive on hatred and division.
I’m also disappointed by the empty promises. He spoke so often about healthcare reform, draining the swamp, and improving the lives of everyday Americans. But what did we get? Failed policies, endless scandals, and a president more interested in Twitter fights than in solving real problems. His promises were hollow, and the country is more fractured than ever.
In November, I’ll be voting for Kamala Harris. It’s not because I agree with everything the Democratic Party stands for—I don’t. But I believe that Harris will at least work toward healing this country. I believe she will approach the job with compassion, decency, and a desire to bring people together rather than tear them apart. I know some people will disagree with my choice, and that’s fine. But for me, this is about doing what’s right for the future I want for my daughter—a future where we have leaders who lift us up instead of tearing us down.
I’m not proud of the votes I cast in 2016 and 2020, and it’s not easy to admit I was wrong. One day, I’ll have to explain to my daughter why I supported Trump. But I hope that by showing her I can learn from my mistakes, that I can change when it’s needed, she’ll understand the importance of standing by your values, even if it means admitting you were wrong.
I just hope it’s not too late for us to come together as a country and repair the damage that’s been done."
