Someday, when the next generation asks us what we did in this moment to protect our freedoms, will we be able to say: everything we could? Voting ends November 5th. #OurFreedomsOurFutures #OurFreedoms24 (this is from '22 but might sound familiar!)

Young folks are fleeing the state because it’s been run into the ground by the absolute losers in the Iowan Republican Party who don’t bat an eye over all of us getting cancer from our water but use all their time to give tax breaks to the rich and hysterically bully trans people
Iowa is losing our young people at one of the highest rates in America --- 4th worst in the nation for kids leaving the state. Zach Lahn gets it: “You cannot build a state or a culture if your kids are leaving faster than 46 other states.” Without young families staying, our rural communities, churches, schools, and family farms weaken.

Yes @mcuban you’re right that 60% of US adults own stock directly or indirectly but what you omit to mention is that the richest 1% of Americans own nearly 50% of the stock market while the bottom half of Americans own just 1%.
The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did. And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves. One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults. Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life. If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever. Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen. Alternatively There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all. To start - If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers. It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail) Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability. Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up But They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.

Vote Blue No Matter Who
Now that Platner has won the primary, I want to be clear. When I said “vote blue no matter who” in 2016, 2020, and 2024, I meant it. I’m worried about Platner, but if you say “vote blue no matter who” in Maine, I hope you’ll extend the same courtesy to other Dems. I hope we beat Collins.

Sarah McBride: “Congress’ top bathroom sheriff, Nancy Mace, was on the ballot. And while all of the votes have not yet been counted, she’s in a respectful 5th place. I don’t like to punch down and I believe in the politics of grace, so I’ll just say, Happy Pride, Nancy.”
Ralph Norman hovering between 3rd and 4th but Mace still solidly in 5th with almost a quarter of the vote now in. It’s looking like another bad night for House members seeking higher office

This dipshit discovered that SQL server at one point replaced blank date of birth fields with a default of 01/01/1900, so he harassed an 86 year old woman.
🚨 Meet Doris, she lives in California and is registered as a 126 year old who has voted in 51 elections and has NO IDEA. California’s voting system is so corrupt that by simply knocking on the door of the “126 year old” proves election fraud. EXPOSE IT ALL.

Whether or not you believe GOP operative and ex-Graham Platner girlfriend Lindsey Fifield’s accusations against Platner, which he has denied and which the Times has been unable to corroborate, what’s undeniable is that Fifield is an anti-Palestinian racist and bigot.

Why did Lyndsey Fifield delete this 2013 tweet stating that her then-boyfriend was super good looking, had a great personality, and can fix anything? Deleted sometime in the last 24 hours.

Let me give you some of our many leaders in this mold… quick thread!
For those of us who like the type of candidate that is from a working class background, running on a populist message, I would love to see more candidates recruited to run who meet that criteria who are women. @amandalitman what types of backgrounds like this have you seen?

I think this is 100% true. But to beat Susan Collins you need 65 year old moderate white ladies who are to the right of primary voters.

Another CA visualization has hit the TL
Where the partisan terrain has flowed so far, nothing final, but some observations: - Half of Hilton's vote comes from precincts that went Dem in 2024. - Mahan, Porter, Steyer: about half their vote from safe-blue alone. - Becerra is the most spread out of the field.
