Surprise! Amy Coney Barrett backstabs Republicans days before the election

Judge who tried to block abortion rights helped his ex-wife get an abortion in college
Alyssa Jones, the ex-wife in question, told reporters that her then-boyfriend Judge Brian Zahra flipped through the Yellow Pages looking for abortion clinics when she told him she was pregnant.

Marjorie Taylor Greene pledges to end Ukraine support if GOP retakes congress

October jobs report beats expectations, unemployment remains at historic lows

Trump loyalist Kash Patel offered immunity for stolen Mar-a-Lago document testimony
The advisor of the scandal-ridden ex-president told right-wing media outlets this summer that all documents taken to Mar-a-Lago were declassified by Trump, despite any evidence or paper trail.

Workers sue Twitter after massive culling that is almost certainly illegal under federal law
The Work Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires at least 60 days advance notice of layoffs affecting more than 50 employees, which would be many many days more than the 1-day warning Musk gave employees at Twitter. Are we sure this guy's really a business genius?
Seriously?
Seriously.
Hope...
Today’s Action: Get out the vote for Democratic Senate candidate Mandela Barnes!
Polls leading up to the election have shown incumbent Republican Senator and noted coup-enthusiast Ron Johnson with a razor-thin lead over his progressive Democratic challenger, Mandela Barnes. With control of the US Senate hanging in the balance this Tuesday, we need every available progressive to step up and help Barnes defeat Johnson on November 8th. Phone banking is one of the best ways that you can help get out the vote in this upcoming election — luckily, plenty of organizations are still hosting virtual events you can join right from your couch! Barnes has been polling neck and neck with the Trump lackey throughout the summer. You can be the difference-maker this election!
The margin of error for retaining Democratic control of the House and Senate is far too close for comfort. You don’t have to be a seasoned professional or a registered voter in Wisconsin to join this fight. Just be ready to do good work!
Our work does not stop in Wisconsin. There are progressives all across the country that need your help getting out the vote. Filter through virtual phone and text-banking events through Mobilize. Critical issues and fundamental freedoms are on the line this election, including reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, gun safety initiatives, and climate mitigation — everything we’ve worked so tirelessly for. Do your part for a truly progressive future!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to demand the FBI reopen the investigation into Brett Kavanaugh, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
