This election is not just Democrats vs. Republicans. It’s about Musk and other oligarchs buying our government, undermining democracy and making themselves even richer with Trump’s anti-worker policies. Here are the top 10 contributors, 9 of whom are Republicans: Elon Musk (R): $369 million Elizabeth & Richard Uihlein (R): $138 million Jeff & Janine Yass (R): $110 million George Soros (D): $102 million Ben Horowitz & Marc Andreessen (R): $92.2 million Miriam Adelson (R): $67.6 million Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss (R): $55.3 million Paul Singer (R): $53.5 million Greg & Anna Brockman (R): $50 million Christine & Stephen Schwarzman (R): $36.1 million We must end Citizens United, outlaw super PACS and move to public funding of elections.

After spending $290 million to elect Trump in 2024, Elon Musk is now spending $369 million to keep Republicans in control of Congress. Vote NO on Musk, YES for democracy. Stop Musk and Republicans from maintaining their rubber-stamp Congress for Trump’s disastrous policies.

Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday… oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one endured two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its five month high.

I’ve been a registered voter since 18 years old. And I’ve followed news daily since probably age 6. Really. I give much thoughtful consideration to my votes—consideration that goes far beyond the end of my nose. Hope you will, too.

Earth just had the hottest August on record, accdg to @CopernicusECMWF C3S & @NOAA reports. El Niño was one of the drivers of the climate in August. It also influenced global tropical cyclone activity, as well as heavy rainfall & floods in some countries. bit.ly/4imPAJJ

If we can’t live without water, why are we poisoning our rivers? If we can’t live without forests, why are we cutting them down? If we can’t live without soil, why are we stripping it of life? We depend on nature, not the other way around. It's time we stop pushing our best ally to the brink.

Buttigieg: "I was shocked to hear Speaker Johnson just now saying 'we shouldn't be rushing, shouldn't be moving too quickly on this.' You know what is moving quickly? AI. For Congress to sit on its hands is something that is deeply dangerous it to the American people ... what have they been doing this entire time?"

Morgan Freeman on Donald Trump: "We have somebody sitting in the White House that's leading us DOWN A SHIT HOLE. I can't personally understand how a convicted felon with 34 counts of wrongdoing gets to become president. It just doesn't make sense to me!"

El Niño is strengthening rapidly, and it has yet to peak. According to @WMO, it is now almost certain to persist through February 2027, raising the risk of extreme heat, floods and drought around the world. What could the months ahead bring? news.un.org/en/story/2026/09…

Replying to @RepRaskin
I saw a third part of the puzzle in DC. We hear of a man from Queens who likes to put his name & face on buildings he doesn’t own. Lives in public housing downtown. Breaks ground on unconstitutional construction projects without permits. Can @OversightDems do on-site inspections?
