Yep, voted. All of my family has voted. Even took nephew to observe and get his “Future Voter” sticker. Between now and election several of us are phonebanking & canvasing and I’ve signed up to driver people to the polls.
OMG, this is a complete horror. The remains have been found in the Consul General’s garden.
"Jamal Khashoggi's body parts have been discovered" – Sources have told @AlexCrawfordSky "grisly details" about how Jamal Khashoggi's body parts were discovered.
OMG, what a horrific development. These are the friends and associates of Trump and Kushner, the people from whom they refuse to dissociate because they are COMPROMISED by MONEY. https://t.co/Kmn1LiXHuW
It would appear that the ME terrorists that trump refers to constantly to rally his horrid, ignorant base…are actually HIS FRIENDS AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATES! Fuck him! This is horrific and grisly as it gets….and that orange skidmark in the Oval makes excuses for this shit, while all the Republicans DO NOTHING! VOTE.THEM.OUT!
TV pundits make me sick but I love having Dan Pfeiffer and Favs represent US.
Democrats are hoping for a blue wave in the midterms two weeks from today.

President Barack Obama greets supporters after speaking at a get-out-the-vote rally at the Cox Pavilion as he campaigns for Nevada Democratic candidates on October 22, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Just like the good old days when he used to hold rallies where people were happy and hopeful and ecstatic to meet their President. Those were good times.
Caterpillar Inc. tumbled after disappointing analysts who expected a boost in its 2018 outlook.
Shares fell more than 8 percent Tuesday as the mining and construction equipment maker repeated its warning about rising costs due to higher steel prices and U.S. tariffs. The company, which got pummeled in April after warning first-quarter results may be “the high watermark for the year,” was again punished by investors concerned about its future.
Caterpillar, considered an economic bellwether, has lost 21 percent of its market value this month as tariffs boost metal costs and trade frictions fuel demand concerns. The company said it will raise prices to make up for the rise in raw materials. The International Monetary Fund warned this month of “choppy” waters in the global economy, and analysts say some end-user industries may be reaching peaks in their growth cycles.
“This is likely to be a negative for Caterpillar, but also for industrials broadly that are having a hard time living up to heightened expectations,” said Larry De Maria, an analyst at William Blair & Co. “Markets are in a precarious situation, and under pressure again this morning, and Caterpillar’s stock will probably further weigh it down.”
Caterpillar said in a government filing that the impact of recently imposed tariffs was about $40 million in third quarter, and the company sees the full-year impact of the tariffs at the low-end of the range of $100 million to $200 million. Caterpillar has notified dealers it would increase some prices 1 to 4 percent worldwide starting in January.
The cost of benchmark steel in the U.S. has risen almost 30 percent this year amid growing global demand and U.S. tariffs on the metal that have made domestic prices expensive compared with the rest of the world.
“Manufacturing costs were higher due to increased material and freight costs,” the company said in a statement Tuesday. “Material costs were higher primarily due to increases in steel prices and tariffs.”
In the fourth quarter, higher prices and spending discipline are expected to more than offset the rise in material and freight costs, the company said.
Third-quarter profit excluding one-time items was $2.86 a share, higher than the $2.85 average of 23 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The company maintained its outlook for 2018 profit of $11 to $12 a share. Analysts expect Caterpillar to earn $11.65 a share this year.
Caterpillar was down 7 percent to $119.66 at 9:37 a.m. in New York. It was the second-worst performer in the S&P 500 Index.
The equipment maker plunged on Friday after Honeywell International Inc. said costs could be in the “hundreds of millions of dollars” from higher Chinese and U.S. tariffs. Earlier this month, Fastenal Co. slumped the most in six months after warning that new U.S. tariffs on China-sourced goods are “directly impacting” customers of the distributor of industrial and construction supplies.
Caterpillar’s “earnings were fine, they just weren’t great and people were hoping for great,” said Stephen Volkmann, a managing director of equity research at Jefferies LLC.
“Caterpillar said in a government filing that the impact of recently imposed tariffs was about $40 million in third quarter, and the company sees the full-year impact of the tariffs at the low-end of the range of $100 million to $200 million.”
The scary thing is that Trump’s tariffs are going to damage this economy in the near future. This story needs to get more traction since Caterpillar is one of scores of companies who will have to lay off workers because of this boneheaded, unnecessary move on Trump’s part.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A Florida man is accused of groping a female passenger while on a flight Sunday from Houston to Albuquerque and later telling authorities “the president of the United States says it’s OK to grab women by their private parts.”

Heartbreaking. Imagine having to touch the hand of the man who ordered your father’s brutal murder. I just cannot. At the very least, you’d expect Trump to express concern over the fact that Khashoggi’s son is being kept a prisoner in Saudi Arabia.

BREAKING: Garland County in Arkansas has just shut down 3 of their 4 early voting sites after "realizing" that the Democratic candidate for Secretary of State was left off their ballots.
There is no word when the voting sites will reopen
One reason for this ignorance is that educators…..and legislators…..have gone test crazy. The test scores are the key to a teacher’s reputation, and a school’s reputation, and sometimes the determinant of money, so teachers have to “teach to the test.” This is not education. The best thing our state superintendent of education has done is cut out one of thee useless standardized tests for the state students. Teachers want time to be with their students and teach, not cram for a test, “info” the students will forget as soon as the test is over.
Regarding Bernie Sanders, go sit in the corner and be still until you show your taxes. I am so tired of this old man who keeps trying to destroy the Democrat Party, who is paying him, Putin?
A racist robocall that refers to Andrew Gillum as a "negro" and a "monkey" is making the rounds in Florida.
"Well hello there. I is the negro Andrew Gillum and I'll be askin' you to make me governor of this here state of Florida," the voice says. https://t.co/Aq7YKxAS0z
The reason why the GOP keeps trotting out these racist messages is because white folks are susceptible to them..just as Russia discovered..will the media call them out or just regurgitate the racism
Andrew Gillum, asked about the racist robocall, says "leadership starts at the top," and cites DeSantis' 'monkey this up' remark. "I think people are taking their cues there … The attacks on me … are all intended to quite frankly further a stereotype about black men." @MSNBC
Our GRAVEST THREAT to the Republic, since the #CivilWar, currently receives TAX PAYER salaries & reside in places like the @WhiteHouse & @GOP Offices in Congress.

From the #GAGovDebate it’s obvious why Republican Brian Kemp needs to engage in illegal voter suppression tactics, including purging hundreds of thousands of voters.
Stacey Abrams can rely on her genuine personality & pro-Georgia policies.
By the way, I’m not mocking people who actually are confused due to something beyond their control. Just trump. He’s confused because he’s trying to keep all those lies straight in his mind.
"This is someone who had a woman arrested for helping her blind father vote." -Stacey Abrams on Brian Kemp's pattern of voter suppression. #GAGovDebate
I voted today am excited and worried. Poll worker says it’s the busiest he has seen in awhile (excited). Putin’s people have been making my modem go off line all day(worried). If it is affecting my modem and the server at my job, is something sinister lurking?

It’s obvious that DeSantis is a racist and that’s why blatant, bold racists are doing this on his behalf. It won’t work though.
