There are real anti-establishment candidates in this race.
We cannot afford to rely on the folks who have tried and failed to stand up to Republican nonsense and Democratic ineffectiveness. We need to do it ourselves.

Why is anyone trusting Trump with the economy and our children’s futures when he can’t even be trusted to be alone with teenagers and tell the truth about it? #trumpepstein

If you can’t fight back, you’re not leading. You’re giving up. Time for a new attitude: one that acts, wins, and lifts up everyone who’s been told ‘that’s just how it is.'

Today, as everyday, I am grateful for the veterans who served this country and sacrificed for America.
May we take this moment to reflect on their courage and determination and honor their selfless sacrifice and lives by continuing to care for them after they have taken the uniform off.

Leave it to a bunch of aging, out of touch Senate Democrats to fold a winning hand.
Millions of people have been relying on Democrats to win this fight to lower their health care premiums and a small number of Senate Democrats just showed them that they can’t be trusted to see that fight through.

This is why Rs want to destroy renewable energy. It's cheaper for you and me.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Every day, families juggle rent, bills, and hopes for a brighter future. Politics should be about them, not photo-ops or corporate donors.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.
California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

I don’t want my kids (or any kids) having to see masked men armed with guns in our neighborhood. Noem is mentally deficient to run @dhsgov.govmirrors.com
FOX: Pritzker has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in Chicago so kids can safety celebrate Halloween. Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow?
NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.

It’s Trump first, not America first.
The Trump administration spending ledger:
✅ $40 billion for Argentina
✅ $230 million for Trump's grievances against the Department of Justice
✅ $300 million for a golden ballroom
❌ $0 to save 42 million Americans from hunger
❌ $0 to stop your health care costs from going up 30%

All the Republican lies about #NoKingsDay are so pathetic. It was one of the largest single day protests in US history.
If they could be honest, they would just say they are butthurt by it, but all the lying just proves their fascist ambitions, which is why 7M of us went out.

Your government is lying to you about ICE’s conduct in Chicago. ICE is
- bringing violence to family neighborhoods;
- deploying tear gas near schools; and
- targeting parents at school drop off.
ICE agents are abusing their authority and Pamela Jo needs to prosecute them.

ICE is deploying tear gas in peaceful neighborhoods, arresting US citizens, and brandishing assault weapons. They are bringing violence to peaceful Chicago neighborhoods. They need to GTFO.
