I need y'all to help me today. Zach Wahls is running for the U.S. Senate to replace Joni Ernst. He has a good size following on other social media platforms but hasn't gotten much traction here yet.
We can change that today!

Give @zachwahls.bsky.social a follow and repost this, please. Ty! 💙🌊

I'm Zach Wahls. A sixth-generation Iowan and a new generation of Democrat.

And I'm running for U.S. Senate to defeat Joni Ernst.

This is the best takedown of Musk I’ve ever read. From a beloved author around my age no less, Joyce Carol Oates.
A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates (@JoyceCarolOates) reads: “So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates—scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’” The tweet is written in white text on a black background, typical of X (Twitter).

On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

Newsom on ICE action outside his presser: "It's pretty sick & pathetic. It's everything you know about Trump's America & the authoritarian tendencies of the president. Wake up, America. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. You will a president running for a third term. Mark my word"

Massie on Mike Johnson saying he just wants to inflict political pain: "Is the pain he talking about that somebody in our party will be embarrassed by those files? Then that's not a good excuse ... why is it painful for Mike Johnson to call a vote on this?"

If you will vote blue to vote against the Trumpers every election you are allowed to vote, I want you to "retweet" this and follow me.

"It struck me that America’s president was making the point that he’s not really transferring power to Donald Trump and his henchmen, but rather to you, me and everyone who cares about democracy and truly loves their country."

The GOP is apparently planning on passing a reconciliation package with as much as $120 BILLION in border-related funding.

To put that in context, if you add up ever single Border Patrol budget from 1990 through 2024, adjusted for inflation, it's $121 billion. That's THIRTY-FOUR YEARS of funding.
Incoming GOP leader John Thune is actively seeking ways to make next year's border and defense package deficit-neutral, if not deficit-negative. Why it matters: Despite pushback from House Republicans, Thune is full steam ahead on his two-part reconciliation plan for next year, sources tell us. The border portion of the first reconciliation package — which also includes energy and defense — could be as much as $120 billion, a source familiar told us.

Yes, there are lots of negatives around the Pete Hegseth nomination -- the rampant alcoholism, the allegations of sexual assault, the hush money payment to an accuser, the total incompetence leading non-profits, and so on.

But ask yourself:

Does all that outweigh the total lack of positives?
