Member of Congress blames City Councilman for the price of groceries. You can’t make this stuff up.

A pair of bald eagles just graced me with their presence and dropped a dead skunk from the sky, onto my front lawn. About 10 turkey vultures are now circling. Is this the wildlife version of trick or treat?

Here’s what Pelosi said when Rep. Scalise was shot at a cong. ballgame: “On days like today, there are no Democrats or Republicans, only Americans united in our hopes and prayers for the wounded.” Compare that to crickets from Trump.

Republicans just defunded police in Harris County, TX (home to Houston). GOP county commissioners REFUSED TO EVEN SHOW UP to do their job. $45M in the red, $100M cut from law enforcement. Talk about hypocrisy. #DownBallotMatters

This is awesome: @TNCMichigan will protect 31,000 acres of scenic land on Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula and allow continued use of the site. Mott granted $1 million to help support the purchase of the land and a community visioning process. bridgemi.com/michigan-enviro…

The Nature Conservancy, a global environmental group, has paid a New York hedge fund more than $27 million for part of the land, with another purchase to come. The deal appears to put an end to fears...

US GDP increased at 2.6% in Q3, surpassing expectations, unemployment is at a 50 year low, incomes rose, prices came down, and manufacturing is seeing its fastest resurgence in decades. Enough gaslighting about the economy. The numbers don’t lie. Republicans do.

HOLY SHIT. Shell has reported profits of $9.5 billion for the third quarter compared to $4.1 billion in the same quarter last year. But tell me more about how high gas prices are Joe Biden’s fault, won’t you. FFS.

This is how much a teacher would make if they were paid at the babysitter rate
Picture of a teacher holding a sign that says: OK. FINE. We'll take the babysitter rate: $10/kid x 6.5 hours/day = $65 x 28 kids/class = $1820 x 180 school days = $327,600 Sounds great!

At an event in Bardstown, a woman showed up to heckle me. She accused me of wanting to kill babies. I didn’t give her the response she expected.
This is enraging and horrifying. Ron DeSantis is a monster.

8-yo told me tonight when she finds it hard to like someone at school, she imagines them waking up and choosing their clothes, and their parents helping them get ready and hoping they have a good day, and that makes it easier to care for them.

After two of my GED students were gunned down, I decided to run for mayor to stop the violence. Once I became Mayor, I succeeded. Our town went 5 ½ years without the loss of life through gun violence. Remind me, what has Dr. Oz ever done to keep our communities safe??

I just stepped off the debate stage. JD Vance once again proved he’s an extremist, a fraud, and a phony. RT if you’re ready to beat him and flip Ohio blue.

How Koch Industries, Fake Scientists, and Rush Limbaugh Invented Climate Denial

A new book, "The Petroleum Papers", goes inside a 1991 conference whose goal was to make people doubt climate change is real.

They may not call us a swing state today, but never forget @BarackObama won Indiana in 2008. In retaliation, the GOP targeted voting access in urban counties with sizable minority populations while increasing access in white Republican suburbs. Indiana has yet to recover. 1/6 – at Indianapolis, IN

If we want our democracy to function, we have to show up this election for the Governors, Secretaries of State and the candidates down the ballot who are going to protect voting rights and our electoral process. Because these seats wield a lot of power, and that power matters.
