.@BarackObama endorsed YES on Question 3. You can help stop this Republican power grab by voting Yes on Question 3. It lets Maryland draw its own fair maps. Early voting ends Thursday. Vote YES on 3. Find your polling location at vote.org.

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: South Carolina deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

Huge respect to the organizers, activists and voters of Brazil and Serbia. These results are due to so much work and they give us so much hope. There is nothing inevitable about the far right.

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.
TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

.@JoeVogel_: "Just like Trump tried to rig the 2020 election, he's trying to rig the 2026 election. A yes on Question 3 is a vote on Question 3 is a vote to fight Trump, but more importantly, it's a vote to protect our democracy."

Manchin says both parties are to blame for Vivek Ramaswamy’s disgusting ad. Sure dude. Enjoy retirement. 🙄
The disgusting attack ad in the Ohio governor’s race points to a much bigger problem in politics. The political parties don't care about the character or integrity of their candidates anymore. They only care about power — no matter what it takes. We need common sense leadership, and once again, the parties are failing to meet the moment.

OBAMA: He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. It's gold everywhere.

This is the corruption AK is fed up with, and it's why I'm in this race. Sullivan has enriched himself at our expense for 12 years. Now he’s using his DC allies to try to keep himself in power and put his own interests ahead of Alaskans. We will make sure every Alaskan is heard.

Mississippi Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith voted for a 1 trillion cut to Medicaid . 1 in 4 of her constituents relies on Medicaid for their healthcare. It doesn’t have to be this way. Mississippians deserve better leadership.

Best corruption ad ever???
Democrats are running ads in #NC11 treating Republican Jennifer Balkcom like a 1980s company. "At Balkcom's energy division, we've partnered with Duke Energy to create what we call 'profit synergy.' Duke donates to Jennifer Balkcom, she protects Duke's profits, you pay more."

30 years ago, today, Susan Collins pledged she would only serve two terms in the U.S. Senate. Here we are, five terms later, with her still in office. Susan broke her promise. How can we trust her to fight for us?

Alani Bankhead is one of the true villains of the election cycle. Alme is trapped in the low 40s in every poll. She single handedly is delivering him to the Senate.

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.

Americans are paying for Trump’s recklessness and corruption. We need leaders in Congress who will stand up to the president. Let's make it happen by November 3rd: text EARLY to 63033 and go vote.

Voters should decide elections, not trillionaires.
Elon Musk has spent at least $300 million trying to buy seats for Republicans this election. He's bankrolling Ken Paxton. When Musk was running DOGE, we fought back and got him fired from the federal government. In a few days, we're gonna fire his puppet politicians.
