There's a really un-generous interpretation of the Texas election results where Texans are willing to completely undermine the rights of women, people of color, and LGBT+ people, but they absolutely cannot tolerate diesel hitting $6 a gallon. Personally, I choose to think the election results are due to Texans who thought their votes didn't matter in such a red state coming out of the woodwork because they were fed up with fascists. :AntiNazi:#USElections #USPolitics

Holy cats, what a night. I'm currently in Texas, so Talarico and Hinojosa are great victories, but I want to take a moment to savor Dan Glieb's loss as Lt Governor. Oh right Dan "Patrick" I should say. Possibly the most evil of all Texas Republicans, I am delighted to see his loss. The cherry on top is the Republican wipeout on the Texas Supreme Court. #USpol #USElections #Elections #Texas

My white whale is watching Scott Perry go down in PA10 and right now he's down by like 20 points. This is my hometown and to go from a traditional Republican to a fucking insurrectionist drive me insane. I want this bastard out of Congress. #USElections #USPol

The FBI #AntiCorruption Squad Was Circling #SusanCollins — Until #Trump Got in the Way by William Turton, Avi Asher-Schapiro, Molly Redden and Kirsten Berg September 22, 2026, 5:00 am "Reporting Highlights - Probe: In 2024, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping pay-to-play investigation examining interactions between Sen. Susan Collins and a top donor, records and emails show. - Confession: The donor, an ex-defense contractor, told agents his company won millions in federal contracts by bankrolling campaigns of powerful politicians. - Shutdown: After Donald Trump returned to office, the investigation died, a casualty of his purge of the FBI. Its closure shut a potential window into how Washington works." https://www.propublica.org/article/fbi-susan-collins-navatek-campaign-donations-investigation #USPol MainePol #Elections2026 #UselessSusanCollins #USElections #VoteHerOut #PowerCorruptionAndLies #MillitaryIndustrialComplex

While it was only a matter of time, this is still a very bad development. «An internet troll on the Pentagon’s payroll has made a database to track Americans based on their political affiliation. … The release of the evidently government-funded DSA Explorer comes amid a broader effort to label left-wing activists and organizers as domestic terrorists. In a lengthy disclaimer on the database website, Pounds warned that her data may not be 100 percent accurate. … “Do not rely on this material without independent verification.”» Source: https://www.rsn.org/001/a-hegseth-employee-created-a-database-to-track-americans-based-on-their-political-affiliation.html I'm just not sure a disclaimer and request to be careful is going to hold back people who are determined to make an inference that itself is bogus on its face and is likely in search of any flimsy justification. #fascism #surveillance #SurveillanceSociety #USElections #USPolitics #DSA #DSAExplorer #privacy #democracy #Constitution #BillOfRights

"Flanagan, a citizen of the White Earth Nation, is seeking to become the first #NativeAmerican woman elected to the U.S. #Senate. During her tenure as Minnesota’s lieutenant governor, she has highlighted her work on legislation that established paid family and medical leave, expanded #FreeSchoolMeals for students, and increased the state’s minimum wage." #PeggyFlanagan #Minnesota #USPol #USSenate #Elections2026 #USElections #PaidFamilyLeave #PaidMedicalLeave

@servelan@newsie.social Note to voters and Congresscritters: MAGA forces will be throwing everything they have at citizen's voting rights from now until the midterm elections. If they get away with it, there will be no more free and fair elections in the US for the foreseeable future. Act accordingly. #USPolitics #USElections #Midterms

In honor of U.S. Independence Day, I decided to re-read the Declaration of Independence. This is well worth a read - these are powerful words that are as important and relevant now as when they were written 250 years ago. Here’s just a section of it; you can read the entire text at https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript (and be sure to vote this Fall!). #IndependenceDay #4thofJuly #July4 #July4th #USElections #vote #VoteBlue #GetOutTheVote #GOTV

Local elections matter. Here's NBC Philadelphia's story about the newly elected sheriff of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Democrat Danny Ceisler, who has terminated the partnership between his office and ICE. The deal allowed deputies to enforce immigration authority and share information with ICE, and was signed by his predecessor, Republican Fred Harran, a few months before. Ceisler anchored his November campaign around his argument against the ICE partnership and won the election by around 11 percentage points. https://flip.it/nln45p #USNews #USPolitics #USElections #Pennsylvania #Philadelphia #ICE #Immigration
