I believe that Trump, Mike Johnson and Greg Abbott should not have started this and continued with it in multiple states to rig the midterms. No Democrats want this, but we can’t unilaterally disarm in the face of multiple threats to fair representation nationwide.

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

Appeasement never works. Just Tim Cook ... or Neville Chamberlain.
PBS insisted on removing a 90-second segment from a documentary about Art Spiegelman that was critical of Donald Trump. Daniel Engber reports on a worrying trend in public television:
Now PBS Is Censoring a Film About Free Speech
A worrying pattern has taken hold in public television.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Town halls are happening all over the country right now. I saw Chuck Schumer’s national book tour schedule—but no sign of any live, in-person town halls. A quick Google or social media search won’t show Schumer facing constituents. What’s going on, @schumer.senate.gov

Wisconsin—ignore the polls & get your ass to the voting booth on Tuesday. Elon Musk is dumping millions to turn out a group that usually stays home—voters that the pollsters didn’t account for.
Don’t let the richest man on Earth buy your state to serve his own interests. Show up and shut him down.👀

It's refreshing to hear a Dem politician say, "Donald Trump is lying to you" – not "speaking an untruth", not "misleading", not "malarkey", not "inaccurate", not "not true", not "false", not "telling a whopper", not "his pants are on fire", etc.
Use the words: Lie, lying, liar. Speak directly.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.
