Fox News host dismisses attempted murder of Paul Pelosi: "People get hit with hammers everyday"

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Obama buries Herschel Walker on stage in hilarious takedown

McConnell's hand-picked Republican is still running elections in one of the largest BLUE cities in the South
OD Action Partner: Louisville, Kentucky, has just one citywide Republican elected official — a handpicked McConnell disciple who oversees — of all things — elections. This year she has a strong challenge from Democrat Tina Ward-Pugh in a race that could be a game changer for voting rights for years to come. Can you chip in to make sure Democrats in Kentucky can exercise their right to vote?

"Enough Is enough": Biden rips attack on Paul Pelosi, right-wing hate that fueled it
An emotional President Biden railed against the “despicable,” hate-fueled hammer attack by a Trump-loving, QAnon disciple on Nancy Pelosi’s husband, asking, "What makes us think that one party can talk about stolen elections, COVID being a hoax, [that] it’s all a bunch of lies, and it not affect people who may not be so well-balanced? What makes us think it’s not going to corrode the political climate?”

GOP New Hampshire Senate nominee repeats hoax that kids are using litter boxes in schools

GOP secretary of state candidates scheduled to appear with a white nationalist and conspiracy theorists
The charlatans and rabble-rousers the Republican Party has so willingly embraced for public office should be judged by both their pathetic actions AND the despicable company they choose to keep. Vote them down and out in November, folks.
Kanye West doubles down on antisemitism, says he’s been "beat to a pulp"
We here at OD Action look forward to ending our round-the-clock coverage on the devolution of Ye, but doubling down on incendiary antisemitism while playing the victim card is unfortunately both newsworthy and deeply dangerous.

Today’s Action: Join Indivisible for their Text Training and Action Hour!
There are so many critical progressive initiatives on the line this election — reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, gun safety reform, climate change action, etc. — which means we all have to do our part to ensure Democrats show up and VOTE on November 8th.
There are lots of great opportunities on Mobilize to connect with voters in key races, with varying levels of engagement and necessary experience. If phone banking or canvassing door to door doesn’t feel like a good fit, text banking could be for you — and Indivisible is holding no-experience-necessary Text Training and Action Hours twice a week until Election Day!
Sign up to attend a one-hour text-banking training session with Indivisible at 12:30PM EDT TOMORROW! The voters you reach could mean the difference between a red or blue victory next month. If this session doesn’t work with your schedule, you can also reach out for a one-on-one informational meeting.
The margin of error for keeping the House and Senate in Democratic hands is far too thin for comfort. It’s never been more important to get out the vote and fight for our cherished rights. Sign up with Indivisible and do your part today!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to kick Fox News off the air for inciting violence against the government, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
