This guy has been doing everything he possibly can every day to use his position of SecDef to tamper with the midterms, from speaking at Republican campaign rallies, to giving partisan political speeches to troops, to this. Do all federal employees get a day off to vote?

Trump could nominate the worst person with a law degree in America and this Republican senate will confirm that person. That includes Susan Collins, who always confirms Trump’s justices. The only chance you have to keep that person off the court is to elect Democratic senators.

All Republicans have to offer voters in the midterms is failure, lies, corruption, cover ups, fear mongering, name calling, enrichment of oligarchs, christian nationalism, racism, data centers everywhere, flock cameras, higher prices, new wars and fake bribes. Hell of a platform.

Every time Trump is asked about people struggling to pay rent, buy a home, afford groceries, health care and gas and he responds claiming this is the greatest economy ever and people on Wall Street are making tons of money speculating on AI, Republicans go down another point in the polls.

🚨BREAKING: In a win for voters, the Kansas Court of Appeals Friday denied Secretary of State Scott Schwab’s (R) latest request to revive a GOP-backed law that would throw out mail-in ballots received after Election Day, even if they were cast on time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
GOP bid to scrap Kansas mail ballot grace period fails again
The ruling means Kansas election officials must continue counting ballots postmarked by Election Day and received within the following three days, including in the upcoming November elections.
