Don’t let one rightwing megadonor destroy the climate. Pay attention to this space.

Trump just cancelled a rally because of rain.

Anyways, here is a photo of Joe Biden at a campaign event for no reason whatsoever.

Republican Congressman: “I serve with some real scumbags. Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties. Bob Good endorsed a known neo-Nazi. These people used to walk around with white hoods at night, now they’re walking around with white hoods in the daytime.”

NEW: I talked to some Republicans who voted for Donald J. Trump twice but won't be pulling a lever for him ever again. They're speaking out as part of a $50m ad campaign looking to give people like them 'permission' to vote for Joe Biden. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

Unreal— one single rightwing megadonor backed a measure on Washington's ballot (initiative 2117) to kill the state’s landmark climate investments. Please help make sure that his money goes to waste and that everyone knows to vote No on 2117.

To help get the word out to protect

The guy who has spent years calling Joe Biden “sleepy” and “crooked” just spent the entire week falling asleep while in court for felony criminal charges.

One rightwing megadonor spent $6 million to put a measure on Washington's ballot (initiative 2117) intended solely to gut funding for the state’s landmark climate investments, education, clean energy, transportation, and healthcare. There is no floor for Republicans.

Republican priorities in recent days:

—Banning non-citizens from voting, which is already illegal in federal elections
—Banning “chemtrails,” which are a far-right conspiracy theory
—Protecting gas stoves
—The “Liberty in Laundry Act” and “Clothes Dryers Reliability Act”

New: Tennessee Republicans just enacted a new law to combat “chemtrails,” which is part of a far-right MAGA conspiracy theory.

They are baselessly theorizing that Biden is sending airplanes across the planet to control the weather and poison Americans.

I’ll save you the listen.

Here’s Kari Lake in her own words citing this abortion ban, calling it a “great law” and encouraging other states to follow.

Not amount of backpedaling will make us forget.

Mike Lawler’s district voted for Joe Biden over Donald Trump by double digits.

New: A member of Trump’s campaign leadership was arrested after he threatened a mass shooting against law enforcement, threatened to rape his boss’ wife, and was having inappropriate relations with a teenage girl.

Kevin McCarthy just now: “I’ll give you the truth about why I’m not Speaker. It’s because one person wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old.”
