I’m skeeting over on the blue butterfly @mapperwocky.bsky.social and maintaining @mapperwocky@mapstodon.space though less active. Browsing on the bird here for the few who have not jumped over. No platform is perfect, but this one has degraded to a dark mirror of its past self.

Rachel #Maddow calls Elon Musk a national security disaster and says, "The U.S. Government is going to have to either unwind from all of those contracts or Elon Musk's companies are going to have to unwind from him."

.@KamalaHarris rally in East Lansing, Michigan on her final Sunday on the campaign trail. She opened with Gaza and vowed to end the war. Also, she did not mention Trump by name during the speech. Her closing ad yesterday did not name him either.

This is insane. If you are under 26 in PA you better get out and vote for @Bob_Casey or you could be kicked off your parents healthcare. This likely would mean even if you’re in college you’ll have to get a job that offers healthcare benefits. Or you could just vote for Casey
HOT MIC: Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Dave McCormick tells a voter in Clearfield that he's against the ACA provision to allow for children to be on their parents' health insurance plans until the age of 26. "I'm not for that. I got to get my kids working!" The McCormick campaign did not immediately respond for comment.

Trump just suggested Liz Cheney would be less of a 'warhawk' if she had guns 'trained on her face.' "You know when the guns are trained on her face — you know, they're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington." Cheney now responds: "This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death."

Friends, 4 days out Dems are "winning" the early vote: - Despite huge GOP investments Dems are running even vs. 2020 in the 7 battleground states, and running ahead of 2020 in AZ, GA, MI, NE-2, WI - The big GOP early vote push is failing More 👇
From Hopium: - Dems are seeing good new battleground state polls and encouraging early vote data - Huge escalation of red wave polling this week - clear sign Rs think Trump is losing - While we are closing strong Trump is closing ugly, really ugly 👇 hopiumchronicles.com/p/while…

Missourians have a real choice in this election: A pearl-clutching and self-obsessed coward who has done nothing for them — or a Marine veteran who has spent his entire life trying to pay back the people who took care of him growing up. #MOSen #MOSenateDebate

Jeri Ryan is totally right. FIVE of the most competitive House races in the nation are right here in California. California alone could decide the House majority in 2024. So be sure to vote and take three friends with you:
Hey CA peeps… Please don’t make the mistake of thinking that since we’re a blue state, your vote doesn’t matter! Yes, the EC is bullshit; but in order to win back the House — which we absolutely MUST do — flipping those congressional seats in CA is ESSENTIAL!!! Please, please, PLEASE VOTE!!! #VoteBlueUpAndDownTheBallot

Trump does not have a strategy for winning. He has a strategy for losing.
👀 Politico: “Trump lagging in early vote with seniors in Pennsylvania, a red flag for GOP” Could help explain why Trump has started to push false claims of fraud in Pennsylvania already… Worried he’s gonna lose. politico.com/news/2024/10/31…

Last year, Arizona voters overwhelmingly passed a ballot measure requiring dark money groups funding political advertising in the state to reveal the original source of their money. Now, corporate-backed dark money groups are trying to strike down the law. levernews.com/dark-moneys-pl…

I’ve been fighting for Alaska Native communities because I know that our way of life is on the line. We have survived for thousands of years on this land, and I know that if we work together, we’ll be here for thousands more.

The richest man in the world appears to have worked in the US without authorization. According to experts, if he did so and lied about it as part of the immigration process, he could be denaturalized. wired.trib.al/MOcQmgb

My heart is breaking. 😭 Everything this woman said is spot-fucking-on. If America is going to survive and be "the shining city upon the hill" — the greed, selfishness, nihilism and hatred that is the ideology of Trump and MAGA fascism needs to be crushed. 🥺👇

Four years ago, Georgia and @ossoff shocked the country when they flipped Georgia blue. We’re about to do the same here in Florida.
