I voted for Mikie too. I voted by mail and got a sticker on a postcard saying my vote had been received.

Happy to say we vote by mail in Washington state and have for many years. I voted and have gone online to see that my ballot was received and counted. We are mostly voting for local issues and positions. But, it is important to keep on top of who fills these spots, too! BTW - people in Washington state can still go to polling places and register to vote TODAY! They will need their ID to do so. Once they are registered they can vote today and in the future they will receive their ballots in the mail and be able to track their vote just like I did. I love voting by mail!!!

Jennifer Siebel Newsom spoke the truth about trump and his lack of leadership for America.

As with his master, Mike the elf on hands and knees blurts out his lord's denials, deflections and projections like the truest sycophant. They can't ever tell the truth because that would defang their endless stream of lies. Cast your ballots to defend our country. Thank you, Scott, for turning out the true leaders!

Mike Johnson is called the elf on a shelf by Heather Cox Richardson (while running the pedophile protection organization).

More like the Elf who Needs Knee Pads and Chapstick because he sucks so hard.

Gavin Newsom's team has a great video out with Gavin offering autographed knee pads to MAGA reps. HA HA HA

I loved her speech. It’s exactly how I feel about Trump, and I think a majority of Americans are all starting to agree. I’ve noticed the Republicans I know who voted for Trump, have suddenly gone very quiet about him. Makes my heart warm! 😁

I am noticing less wannabe-proud-boy noise where I live, too. Of course. for all I know they may have been hauled off to jail for poaching deer. They think they can get pardoned for anything. lol

Ty Scott! Jennifer is spot on when she talks about looking up to a leader that is corrupt. In Russia they are teaching children to support their nation above all else, and to kill their enemies. We cannot let America get to that point! Vote blue!💙🇺🇸💙

Not only are we in Arizona devoid of representation but every district with a MAGA rep is not represented--because MAGA Mike refuses to even show up for work. They all act like toddlers who have to have their own way all the time without ever doing the job of actually negotiating legislation.

I have no Election Day votes as where I live in Pima Country has nothing to vote on, but the CITY of Tucson has an important election today. If you have an election, VOTE DAMMIT!

Scott that was a powerful speech that Jennifer Newsom-Seibel gave at the Prop 50 rally. I could not agree more with her. Although not a resident of CA this ballot is so important to the nation and to democracy. And the conservatives want to cheat their voters and deny the legitimate voting rights of millions, denying all of our Democracy. Thanks Scott got to go now

To see Gavin beaming at his wife was a perfect contrast to how JD is with his wife.

Or how Melania scowls at TRump.

Sandy S's avatar

Oh!!! Remember how Melania looked at Trump when the escalator stopped at the UN!!! It was priceless! In a way, I saw a caretaker wondering how her charge was going to react. Then she turned and started marching up the steps hoping he would follow. The so called first family on display. shessh!!!

Governor Newsom and his wife are a power house! Both of them do not hold back on bringing the truth to American people. It is so important they continue to call the orange man out for every single one of his corrupt and evil actions! I loved when she said she was teaching her children that this orange menace is not a true leader and explaining why. I hope parents are teaching their children that what is happening today is NOT NORMAL!

I'm so glad to see Jennifer Diebel Newsom speak out against the TRump regime! Gavin does a fantastic job of humorously trolling TRump and I'm hoping for the Newsoms and their kids being our First Family soon. I'm a bit biased, because he's my governor. 🇺🇸

Megan, you are so fortunate to have Governor Newsom and his wife standing up for your state and fighting hard for you! My governor is an orange man loyalist who does not give two bits for the people in his state! I would love to see the Newsoms in the White House! I would vote for him!
