"Gov Abbott⚡is blaming a scheduling conflict & says he's not gonna be attending the rally in San Antonio today where the president is going to be. He's not taking time for the president." -A Rupar 2/3 of R candidates in competitive House & Senate races⚡have broken with #⁠Trump on policy or played down ties to him, revealing a widespread effort to distance themselves from the president as his unpopularity threatens the party's hold on Cong. #ETTD #Elections #Trump #USPol https://www.straitstimes.com/world/most-republicans-in-tight-midterm-distance-themselves-from-trump-reuters-review-finds

Awful! "The election outcome leaves the Amazon Rainforest and its peoples in peril: Bolsonarism gained ground and will soon govern seven out of nine states states in the biome where deforestation increased by 59% during the previous four years it held the presidency. Currently, five of the region’s state administrations – Acre, Rondônia, Roraima, Mato Grosso, and Tocantins – are aligned with the far right, led by former president Jair Bolsonaro, who was convicted of attempting a coup. As a result of the October 4 vote, it maintains control of these states and adds two more: Pará and Amapá. The far right, which is working to tear down legal barriers to predatory exploration in the Forest, will dominate the Amazon." https://sumauma.com/en/bolsonarismo-comandara-pelo-menos-sete-dos-nove-estados-da-amazonia/ #Brazil #Amazon #rainforest #farright #bolsonarism #elections #brazilelections2026 #environment

The political threat to the world’s biggest tropical rainforest has intensified after the defeat of the two governors in the region currently allied with Lula

Better late than never:💡"Obama will appear with #ElSayed at an Oct 24 rally that'll also feature other top Dem candidates in MI, incl J Benson, the party’s nominee for governor. #Obama is getting significantly more involved in the midterm #elections... The Detroit event is a notable show of support for A El-Sayed, who defeated moderate Rep H Stevens in the primary & has since worked to⚡consolidate Dem support in his race🚨against Republican M Rogers. #Progressives #USPol https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/10/05/barack-obama-abdul-el-sayed-michigan-senate-race/

From the U.S. #Congress Senator Whitehouse: First the wedding, now the ballroom — “Trump/Russia” gets smellier and smellier. "The Russians are paying for Trump's ballroom, and he just took sanctions off one of them in exchange. Putin owns this White House from top to bottom." https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a73967876/white-house-ballroom-trump-russia/ #news #midterms #elections #usa #Ukraine #eu

RE: https://zirk.us/@ShaulaEvans/117197034208580662 The effect of this year's el Niño on weather will wreak havoc on election campaigns; you can't send volunteers door to door in hazardous weather. Campaigns will need to pivot to phone banking to close that gap. You can make anonymized calls from home via phone bank apps (if you're a phone person). You can make a difference in local campaigns. If you want to help, contact them asap. More info on getting involved in the thread below. #Elections #GOTV #Volunteering #PhoneBank

If you are in the US and you care about the midterm election outcomes, the time to get involved is now. This cycle's results will largely be determined (on one level) by GOTV, aka Get Out the Vote. I used to work professionally in US politics. Here's a short thread about how GOTV works, and how you can get involved. 1/n #FieldWork #FieldOperations #Elections #CampaignsAndElections #ElectionCampaigns #USPol

An anti-trans political activitist is caught lying about trans kids and surgeries in Ohio because kids aren't having surgeries. It also turns out that she didn't have her own gender affirming surgery until she was an adult and living in Texas. The right will probably jettison her now that she is not longer useful to them. https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/politics/ohio-politics/woman-accusing-sherrod-brown-of-forcing-transgender-surgeries-isnt-from-ohio-didnt-have-procedure-as-minor #trans #transgender #uspol #politics #lgbtq #lgbtqia #news #ohio #elections
Woman accusing Sherrod Brown of forcing transgender surgeries isn’t from Ohio, didn’t have procedure as minor

Woman accusing Sherrod Brown of forcing transgender surgeries isn’t from Ohio, didn’t have procedure as minor

In an attack ad against U.S. Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, a woman accuses the Democrat of pushing transgender surgeries on minors "like her." She didn't have surgery until she was an adult.

"Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff" The plagiarize and hacker program otherwise known as "LLM" is a horrible scam. Not to mention drain your town water and electricity supply and pollute your environment. A total shit show plus crime. Have your say in #midterm #elections -early #voting open soon. #usa #news

RE: https://mastodon.social/@indivisibleteam/117343979765662754 Quoting to add hashtags. Some of us are on small servers and don't have full text search which means we rely more on hashtags for searching. I'm grateful when folks add them! ❤️ (hashtags are also useful for filtering out posts folks don't want to see, but that's a separate topic...) #USPol #Elections #NoKings

"...just two years later, the state’s Republican-dominated legislature is asking Missouri voters to overturn the abortion protections they recently supported. The conflicting measures even have the same title: Amendment 3. But while a 'yes' vote in 2024 supported adding protections to the state constitution, a 'no' vote in 2026 would keep them." https://kffhealthnews.org/elections/abortion-state-referenda-2026-november-midterms-roe-dobbs-missouri-nevada/ #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #abortion #WomensHealth #elections #missouri #USpol

Abortion Is on the Ballot Again as Post-Roe Policies Continue To Evolve - KFF Health News

Four states will vote on abortion-related ballot measures in November, marking the fourth time in five years that millions of Americans will weigh in on their states’ abortion rules. The measures follow the Supreme Court’s “Dobbs” decision, which upended federal abortion protections.
