The people who did Jan. 6 are still in power and we’re going to let them try it again. Hard to get excited about polling numbers when all signs point to another election steal attempt.

The Orange Plague. By Danish Sculptor Jens Galschiøt. In case you were wondering how the world sees Donald Trump.

Disgusting racist misogynist pig. Impeach him now.

One of these men took PFAS water contamination seriously. The other didn’t. For over a decade, the entire Cape Fear region has faced the issue of toxic PFAS chemicals in their water supply. Since 2017, when PFAS contamination was first publicly discovered in the drinking water supply for Wilmington and all of the Cape Fear river basin, the community has asked: how can this be stopped? No answer has ever come from the North Carolina state legislature. Over the last decade, our state lawmakers have done virtually nothing to stop PFAS. Our state legislature has never passed any limits whatsoever on what, or how much, toxic PFAS discharges polluters like Chemours can dump into the water supply. It’s not like bills to limit PFAS and crack down on polluters’ liability haven’t been proposed. Many have. In fact, there’s been a bill to do this proposed in almost every legislature for years back. 2019: HB 1109 ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2019/H1… 2021: HB 1095 ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2021/H1… 2023: HB 864 ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2023/H8… This year’s bill was HB 569. It was a bipartisan bill, with both Republican AND Democratic sponsors, to require PFAS polluters to pay for water cleanup, and to refund consumers for their higher costs due to PFAS contamination: ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2025/H5… But once again, HB 569 was killed - this time in the State Senate. @MichaelLee4NC, the Republican Majority Leader in the State Senate, presides over a Republican supermajority. He’s a very powerful politician in Raleigh, second only to Phil Berger himself. Michael Lee is the kind of politician who can make bills pass - or kill them quietly. But not only has Michael Lee helped to kill any meaningful PFAS legislation, he’s actually worked to do the opposite - to protect polluters, and cripple North Carolina’s state environmental agencies from doing anything about it. After Michael Lee killed HB 569, he voted to pass another bill, HB 402, that specifically blocks the NC Department of Environmental Quality from imposing meaningful restrictions on polluters like Chemours. After Governor Josh Stein vetoed HB 402, Michael Lee then voted to override that veto - and pass it into law. They call holding polluters accountable “burdensome regulation.” You call it “PFAS water contamination.” When Attorney General @jeffjacksonnc forced Chemours into a settlement at court last month, he singlehandedly did more to crack down on PFAS pollution than North Carolina’s state legislature has done in more than a decade. AG Jackson’s settlement forces Chemours to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to local governments throughout southeast North Carolina for PFAS water cleanup. Elections have real world consequences. That settlement wouldn’t have happened if Jeff Jackson hadn’t been elected in 2024. And if North Carolina had different leadership in its state legislature, PFAS water contamination might’ve been addressed years ago.

Me too

When you’ve got a high level Russian asset telling you not to vote, do the opposite and make sure you bring others with you to vote also.

“A list of Benefits Israeli 🇮🇱 residents get that Americans 🇺🇸 don’t… while we send them billions.”

Let me guess…when you lose both chambers of Congress, you’re going to declare massive election/voter fraud by Democrats and order Patel to seize voting machines in districts that flipped from red to blue. Then when Americans protest, you’re going to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Weird how all these defense contracts are suddenly going to companies linked to trump's family.

Lutnick checking all the boxes of the authoritarian co-conspirator. Such multi-tasking to help Leader is common in the annals of authoritarian crime. The head of Mussolini’s secret police also oversaw his sex crimes operation. I write about it in #Strongmen.

Americans still believe they live in a democracy, which is rather sweet. The president has just explained, out loud and to applause, that the only election result he will accept is the one where his side wins, and the country has responded by nodding politely and going back to arguing about the price of petrol. In a few weeks they are going to have a crisis dropped into their laps of a size nobody has ever seen before, and they will be absolutely astonished, because apparently being told in advance doesn't count.

Donald Trump told his rally crowd on October 3rd that he would not accept any election outcomes in November other than his party winning. He also said he was going to “put them down once and for all” referring to opposition to his administration/power. This is a five alarm fire.

This is the best video I’ve ever seen. Way to go @ProjectLincoln

The maximum amount an individual can donate to a candidate is $3500. Elon Musk has spent $380 million on the 2024 and the 2026 midterms — so far. Billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to buy elections. Overturn Citizens United.
