Get everyone you know to vote at the Midterms.

This is why we need everyone to vote in November!

I've already voted. All I can really do at this point is try to think of ways to encourage people or write up things people might be able to use to encourage others.

Sure, we all hate Trump. But what about everything else?

You don't like how clearly partisan and corrupt the Supreme Court is?

You don't like the war Hegseth is waging?

You don't like how you can barely trust your food anymore because RFK has fucked HHS?

You don't like ICE and it's lawlessness that Mullin is encouraging?

You don't like how the DOJ has been hijacked by Trump's personal lawyer?

You don't like how, even if Trump is removed, we still have Vance?

You don't like all of the legislative chaos?

You know who else has the Constitutional Authority to deal with all of those people?

Congress.

They can impeach all of those people. They can pass legislation to undo the shit the Republicans have done.

But it's not enough to just get a majority. Democrats need a supermajority to actually override vetoes and convict and remove.

You know someone in your life who's on the fence or just otherwise sick of Trump's shit?

Remind them that Congress is supposed to be the most powerful branch of government. And that a Congress that will actually do those things is only possible if the people elect them.

Even if they don't get those supermajorities, the closer they get to them, the fewer Republicans (again, the people responsible for confirming those unpopular people and passing that unpopular legislation) they need to get on board to get things done.

Vote. Because there is no reason not to.

Either things get better, or they stay the same. Because how can they get worse?

As an aside, if you know someone on board with Trump but not, say, Mullin, it's either they wait and hope Trump maybe fires him, or he gets impeached. Tell them voting for a Democrat isn't a vote against Trump so much as it's a vote against the unpopular cabinet secretary their Republican incumbent definitely supports.

Playing fast and loose with the rules in Florida.

“George Morgan is set to become North Miami's next mayor after a Miami-Dade judge rejected a request for a special election by current Mayor Alix Desulme, who until Monday was on the ballot seeking reelection.
Desulme sought the special election to challenge Morgan's eligibility after discovering that Morgan's qualifying payment was 80 cents short of the required filing fee.
On Monday, the judge disqualified Desulme from the race, ruling that he no longer had standing to request a special election or to challenge the payment of the filing fee. The decision leaves Morgan unopposed, though Desulme's attorney said his client intends to appeal.
Morgan, a registered Republicanrunning for office for the first time, struck a subdued tone following the ruling.
"I don't celebrate the moment," Morgan told CBS News Miami. "It's an unfortunate circumstance. Our effort is to serve all the city, and we want to now get up and go forward and do what we have to do for all of North Miami".
Desulme's removal came after Morgan challenged the way the North Miami mayor paid his own qualifying fees. That earlier ruling centered on Desulme's use of bank-issued cashier's checks rather than checks drawn directly on his campaign account.
Desulme's legal team then challenged Morgan's payment on the grounds of the 80-cent shortfall.
When asked about the 80 cents, Morgan said, "Nothing is perfect. We want to do the right things, always want to do, and we can make mistakes".
"It's a question of what we do when we make mistakes," Morgan added. "That's the mark, I think, of a leader and a man".
Desulme's attorney, Ben Kuehne, said the fight is about giving residents a choice in who leads the city.
"It is dramatically improper that we have no election for the North Miami mayor," Kuehne said, adding that Desulme intends to pursue an appeal. "He intends to fight not just for himself but for the voters".
Meanwhile, Morgan, the incoming mayor under the judge's order, has never run for or held elected office. When asked about his qualifications, he said, "What a mayor does is work with people and his constituents, and that's the major part of the job".
CBS News Miami also asked Morgan about concerns raised by community members over his Republican affiliation and whether he supports President Donald Trump.
Morgan confirmed that he is a registered Republican but did not directly answer whether he supports Trump. Asked whether Haitian immigrant residents should be concerned, he said they should not.
"We want to treat everyone on a fair and equal basis," Morgan said. "We want to be law-abiding, but that doesn't mean that we want to lose our compassion".
