There is a very disturbing trend being seen in early voting. Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio are reporting difficulties getting the machines to accept democratic votes. The machines change them back to Republican unless the voter persists, pressing several times to get the correct vote to go through.
Check your machine, check to see that it accepted the correct vote. Make sure your voice counts.

BREAKING: The Trump regime has attempted to hack voting machines. This is beyond alarming, with only two weeks to go before the most important midterm election in U.S. history. Trump appointees asked the federal cybersecurity agency CISA to secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it. (Source: ProPublica)

US Defense Secretary Hegseth is blocking the transfer of a significant batch of Patriot interceptors to Ukraine, already paid for by allies, — Kyiv Independent
A contract for Patriot missiles is sitting on Pete Hegseth's desk, but he is not signing it, a Ukrainian senior official and two military personnel told the publication. According to the official, this raises suspicions that Washington is deliberately holding back weapons to pressure Ukraine against the backdrop of intensified Russian ballistic strikes on Kyiv and other cities.
The official added that the missiles had already been paid for by Ukraine's allies.
Recall that earlier, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine has already paid for the weapons, but the US is delaying part of the deliveries, and this is "not a technical issue."

The NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles almost killed Jalen Hurts for a Week 5 international showcase.
The full details of what happened behind closed doors in London just surfaced, and the negligence is staggering.
Before kickoff in London, Hurts was in a hospital bed until 4:00 AM undergoing emergency vascular testing. Medical staff instructed him not to sleep because sleep was considered an active health risk.
Instead of shutting down their $255 million franchise quarterback, the team cleared him to play 60 minutes of brutal, high-impact collision football on zero sleep.
Then, they loaded him onto a pressurized, 8-hour transatlantic flight back to Philadelphia.
Every doctor on the planet knows that long-haul flights and cabin pressure are the exact triggers that cause lower-extremity blood clots to break free. The Eagles spent days assuring the public it was just a "minor, superficial calf clot".
Now the truth comes out: the clot dislodged, shot through his bloodstream, and caused multiple pulmonary emboli in his lungs.
Hurts is officially out for the season, placed on blood thinners where taking a single routine tackle could cause a fatal internal hemorrhage.
He isn't just lucky to play football again, he is lucky to be alive.
When the NFL preaches "player safety," remember this moment. They ran a human being into the ground for television ratings in the UK, almost lost him to a preventable medical catastrophe, and cratered their entire season in the process.
Who inside that building signed off on letting him play and board that flight?

Complicity in Slaughter: Outrage Explodes as Reports Link Musk and Trump to Ukraine Drone Shield Crippling
Demands are rapidly intensifying for Donald Trump and far-right disinformation propagandist Elon Musk to face international war crimes charges following a catastrophic disruption to Ukraine's frontline defenses.
A devastating exposé by The Telegraph, citing four anonymous sources, reveals a shocking level of complicity: it was Elon Musk who personally approached Donald Trump with the proposal to throttle Starshield — the military-grade version of his Starlink satellite network. Trump reportedly agreed to the scheme.
By deliberately crippling Ukraine's drone defense systems, this calculated move effectively disabled the country's shield against Russian aggression. The sabotage directly allowed Vladimir Putin's forces to rain lethal drone strikes down upon undefended cities, resulting in the brutal slaughter of innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children.
Critics and legal experts argue that by actively interfering with military infrastructure to benefit an invading, authoritarian Apparatchik force, both figures have crossed the line from political interference into direct complicity in war crimes.

I cannot stop thinking about three families who sent their children to elementary school this morning and will never bring them home again.
So spare me the fucking thoughts and prayers.
Spare me the speeches about how now isn't the time to talk about guns.
And spare me the politicians who have spent YEARS refusing meaningful gun-safety laws while telling the rest of us that massacred children are somehow the unavoidable price America must pay for their interpretation of the Second Amendment.
FUCK THAT.
Children being slaughtered in their elementary school is not the price of freedom.
It is a fucking national disgrace.
And don't even start with “if the teachers were armed.”
They're TEACHERS.
They went to work today to teach children how to read and multiply and make friends. They are not fucking marksmen. Turning an elementary school into a crossfire because politicians refuse to confront America's gun problem isn't a solution. It's insanity.
Three children are dead.
Three families have been destroyed.
Hundreds of other little kids just experienced something no child should ever see.
So to every politician who blocks meaningful gun-safety laws and then races to a microphone after another classroom fills with blood:
Keep your fucking thoughts and prayers.
Do your fucking job.

So it’s official: Reuters has confirmed that the White House gave the order to disrupt Starlink so Russia could attack Kyiv with no advanced warning. The US aided and abetted Putin’s killing of numerous civilians in Ukraine. Trump’s a traitor, a Russian asset who is using US military technology to help our enemy.

There's no more pretense.
The shameful truth is now clear.
By withholding critical Intel and Internet services, and lifting sanctions on Russia to replenish Putin's war machine, @realDonaldTrump & @elonmusk are now fully complicit. They're on Putin's side.

The NY Times reports that Ukraine’s military access to Starshield (the Pentagon-funded version of Starlink) was restricted overnight without warning. That’s what Ukraine uses to fly its drones.
Ukrainian officials say the order came from Washington.
The same night, Russia hit Ukraine with 39 ballistic missiles, the biggest barrage of the entire war. 600,000 in Kyiv lost power.
This comes after Trump said Ukraine should get a new president. He said Putin wants a deal more than Zelensky. He gave Putin a (likely illegal) sanctions waiver to sell diesel, a total betrayal of Ukraine. And today Kash Patel reportedly landed in Moscow.
Ukrainians are fighting for the same freedom our grandparents’ generation fought for, the right of a free people to choose their own leaders.
Meanwhile, Putin is a murderous thug.
I stand with Ukraine. I stand with democracy.

BREAKING: HOLY SH*T! Trump's new Press Secretary gets pulled into a massive scandal as it's revealed that her husband was involved with huge business deals in NORTH KOREA.
Every foreign dictatorship now has a puppet in this White House...
White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia's first week on the job was already proving to be an unmitigated disaster. First, she hilariously flubbed her first briefing with reporters by reading mechanically and remedially from prepared notes, pausing awkwardly, and stumbling over her words. Right out of the gate, it became clear that she was hired because of her physical resemblance to Ivanka Trump rather than any kind of public speaking skills.
Then, it was revealed that her claims to be an "attorney" were trumped up and there is no evidence that she ever passed the bar, but supposedly she practiced law in China, where she lived for two years. Imagine if a Democrat had hired someone like this to work in the White House. Fox News hosts would be going red in the face screaming about how she's a Chinese spy.
Now, it turns out that her husband Tyler Zacharia helped his company Schulze Global Investments expand into North Korea — something that his bio on the company website for 2521 Entertainment proudly admits. According to Forbes, Schulze Global gave three substantial loans to North Korean mining companies in 2008, followed by a $1 million loan in 2011 for corn to feed workers for a North Korean company.
While the U.S. didn't place its full sanctions package on new investments in North Korea until 2016, the regime in Pyongyang has long been a brutal dictatorship that imprisons, enslaves, tortures, and murders its own people. But for the sociopaths who run in MAGA circles, those are minor details that can't be permitted to get in the way of turning a tidy profit.
Despite all of their grandstanding about opposing the communists in China and North Korea, the transnational oligarchs that run the Republican Party believe in nothing. They care about accumulating wealth at all costs, regardless of how much human suffering it's built upon. Remember that the next time you hear them ranting about how Democrats are "communists." These people don't even care about actual communists.
Please ❤️ and share to demand a full investigation!

@mtgreenee IT’S ALWAYS BEEN THIS, you’re just finally removed enough to see it. I’m glad you are speaking out. It was despicable, disgusting and very hard to watch. Not one person in the MAGA CULT tried to stop them but rather energized it and rallying the gang with chants of USA USA.

🚨 BREAKING: Ukrainian military sources are reporting that Elon Musk’s SpaceX abruptly restricted Starlink satellite communications during Ukrainian military operations overnight, disrupting critical missions as Russia unleashed a massive missile and drone barrage against Kyiv.
Ukrainian activist Serhii Sternenko reports that Starlink connections began dropping when terminals were moving faster than 100 mph (160 km/h), causing multiple missions to fail.
Ukrainian military communications expert Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov says the restrictions were imposed WITHOUT WARNING.
Sternenko suspects SpaceX acted at the request of the Trump administration, though that allegation has not been independently confirmed.
It is clear that Trump is furious that Zelenskyy has refused to surrender and give away eastern Ukraine, and now Trump is trying to break Ukraine's resolve by actively supporting Russia.
He seems to take that refusal as a personal insult, an attack on his image as the dealmaker who can end the war. Once again, Trump is blaming his own failures on others. This time, the consequences are deadly.
