Mega Roundup 2/9

// AMBER THURMAN'S LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED, IF NOT FOR TRUMP'S ABORTION BANS


Let's start this #VNF news roundup. About 35 line items since last Monday's debate - I'll post them through the night:


5 🌐 ProPublica report finds that Trump's abortion bans have resulted in at least two women in Georgia dying because they "couldn't access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state."


"There is a 'good chance' providing a D&C earlier could have prevented Amber Thurman's death, the maternal mortality review committee concluded." Vote

Mega Roundup 3/9

// LT GOV MARK ROBINSON IS A SELF-DESCRIBED BLACK NAZI, AND MORE


6 🛑 NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's (un)surprising bombshell: he identifies as a Black Nazi.


There's definitely more to the story, this will unquestionably impact the NC Gov race, and Republicans can't separate from him because they are him

Mega Roundup 4/9


//  RECENT VP HARRIS ENDORSEMENTS INCLUDE TAYLOR SWIFT, BILLIE EILISH, RICK STEVES, MARTHA STEWART, AND MANY MORE


7 🗳️ Let's go over some recent endorsements for VP Kamala Harris, there's a lot:
- Taylor Swift (400k clicks on her voting registration link within 24 hours of the endorsement, wow.)
- Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell: vote "like your life depends on it, because it does."


7 🗳️ More recent endorsements for VP Kamala Harris
- Martha Stewart
- Rick Steves
- George Will
- Former SC House Rep. Bob Inglis
- Scientific American
- An "avalanche" of more Republicans across multiple Presidential Administrations


7 🗳️ The Teamsters didn't endorse VP Harris as a whole, and it has a lot to do with their leader acting the fool at the RNC which led to him not getting a DNC invite - and he was upset about it. Waves of local Teamsters endorsements are landing for VP Harris in battleground states

Mega Roundup 5/9

// JOE KENT IS PARROTING RUSSIAN TALKING POINTS

// OHIO: VOTE YES ON ANTI-GERRYMANDERING ISSUE 1

//  HOUSE DEMS ARE PREPARING 2025 PROBES

//  TRUMP-VANCE FAKE NEWS ENDANGERS ENTIRE CITY


8 🦜Joe Kent is a Russian bot taking the form of a parrot. This could be a very close race - support Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez as you can


9 🗺️ In Ohio, Issue 1 is "an anti-gerrymandering ballot initiative. Period." VOTE YES ON ISSUE 1


10 ⚖️ Rep. Jamie Raskin is preparing 2025 House Dems probes


11 🌊 Trump's VP candidate JD Vance admitted to lying to the media to get attention (he creates fake news to distract from Project 2025 and his/Trump's/MAGA's malignant boorishness.) Florida's watching


12 🗳️ In Springfield, these Trump-Vance / MAGA lies have put an entire city at risk. Vote

Mega Roundup 6/9


// ABORTION MEASURE MUST APPEAR ON MISSOURI BALLOT

// OKLAHOMA PURGES 453K VOTERS FROM ROLLS

// PENNSYLVANIA'S MISDATED MAIL-BALLOTS WON'T COUNT

// SG EMHOFF HYPES UP FLORIDA

// IOWA IS FIRED UP FOR HARRIS-WALZ, COULD TURN PURPLE 
 

13 🗳️ If you haven't followed this saga in Missouri, it's worth digging into -- ultimately, a court has ruled that the abortion measure - Amendment 3 - MUST appear on the Nov 5th ballot


14 🛑 Voter roll purges sludge forward: Oklahoma purges 453K from voter rolls. **194,962 due to a wrong address. Check your registration at the link below


15 📢 Pennsylvania's Supreme Court rules that mail-in ballots dated incorrectly WILL NOT be counted. Meanwhile, rallies for MVP Harris continue to be full capacity joyrides


16 🔥 SG Emhoff: Florida could be a battleground state


17 🌊 Harris-Walz have Iowa fired up. IA could go from Red to Purple

Mega Roundup 7/9

// TRUMP, THE GAFFE MACHINE

// JUDGE CANNON VIOLATIONS
 
// SCOTUS TRUMP SUPPORT REVEALED WITH CJ MEMO LEAK

// DID TX MAGA CONVOY COMMIT POLITICAL VIOLENCE?

// SMARTMATIC CASE VS NEWSMAX HEADS TO TRIAL

// MUSK PROMOTES POLITICAL VIOLENCE THEN QUICKLY RETREATS


18 🌐 Germany fact-checked Trump after the debate


19 🌐 Trump wants to deport Haitians to Venezuela


20 🌐 Trump continues to be a gaffe machine - thinks Bagram, Afghanistan is in Alaska


Point being: continue doing all you can to elect Harris-Walz and Democrats down-ballot. Let's all move on


21 ⚖️ Judge Cannon violated disclosure rule, repeatedly


22 ⚖️More leaks from SCOUTS - Chief Justice John Roberts' memo shows how much he helped Trump out of his recent legal quagmires


- One order of judicial reform, please
23 ⚖️ Jury to decide if TX MAGA convoy committed political violence in '20


24 🍿The election defamation case Smartmatic brought against Newsmax will finally go to trial. Don't Dominion on us!


25 🔇 Elon Musk continues the conspiracy theory-pushing and aggressively weird attacks. I'd rather ignore him. Never wanted a Tesla and really don't now. But this is significant

Mega Roundup 8/9

// TRUMP WANTS TO IMPRISON POLITICAL OPPONENTS BECAUSE THEY HURT HIS FEELINGS

// RENOWNED PSYCHIATRIST: POST-DEBATE TRUMP NEEDS EXAM

// 14 ELECTORS FROM TRUMP'S FAKE 2020 ELECTORS SCHEME ARE BACK

// TRUMP CAMPAIGN DESPERATELY BEGS NEBRASKA TO INTERFERE

// TEXAS AG PAXTON, SOS NELSON SUED FOR VOTER SUPPRESSION 


26 🛑 Trump wants to imprison his political opponents for election fraud that didn't happen. A recurring theme with this weirdo, but this time he could fail up into full-on authoritarianism


27 🔍️ Renowned psychiatrist on post-debate Trump: any fair-minded mental-health expert would be very worried


28 ⚠️ 14 electors tied to Trump's '20 fake electors scheme are back:

- Michigan: Amy Facchinello, Hank Choate, John Haggard, Marian Sheridan, Meshawn Maddock, Timothy King
- Nevada: Jesse Law, Michael McDonald
- New Mexico: Deborah Maestas
- Pennsylvania: Andy Reilly, Ash Khare, Bernadette Comfort, Bill Bachenberg, Patricia Poprick


29 🗳️ Trump begs Nebraska Republicans to make the electoral votes a winner-take-all system to deprive VP Harris of the single NE-02 electoral vote that she is slated to win. The NE GOP's leaning no - with a key GOP legislator holding firm on no, for now. The efforts by the Trump campaign are being painted as election interference by many


30 🛑 Travis County sues Texas AG Paxton, SOS Nelson for violating National Voter Registration Act

Mega Roundup 9/9

// FED SLASHES INTEREST RATES 50 BASIS POINTS

// RECORD HIGHS FOR S&P 500, DOW

// TRUMP MEDIA MEME STOCK KEEPS PLUMMETING, PLUS THEY BREACHED A CONTRACT

// TRUMP / MAGA'S WEAK GOTV STRATEGY COULD BE JUST ANOTHER GRIFT

// PRESIDENT CARTER TO TURN 100, IS READY TO TURN THE PAGE ON TRUMP AND ELECT VP HARRIS


31 🔥 The FED slashes interest rates 50 basis points, a sign of great confidence in the economy


32 💰️ This resulted in the S&P 500 and Dow to both reach record highs


33 🤡 Meanwhile, Trump Media - a weird meme stock - hits record lows. And they must fork over lots of stock for breach of contract


34 🧐 MAGA's GOTV strategy may have mutated into yet another Trump grift. "Opting to *outsource* much of their turnout operations" wouldn't be suspect if it made sense.

"Multiple party leaders, former RNC members, and lawmakers have privately trashed what they see as a lack of a clear operation..."


35 🥜 President Jimmy Carter turns 100 on October 1st and a big party was thrown in honor the Rock & Roll President. His grandson said he's looking forward to turning the page on Donald Trump and voting to elect VP Kamala Harris as our next President. Now let's win this
