First, really glad to see that Nebraska ad informing voters exactly how to restore abortion rights in the state. Absolutely necessary, given that state officials intentionally designed the ballot and the competing ballot measure to be misleading!
Second, Mike Braun’s senate campaign ought to be required to broadcast messages that correct the false claims contained in his ads that use manipulated images. Furthermore, those corrections should be required to have equivalent media placement and airtime.
Third, yesterday, someone here made the claim that the head of The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) is MAGA. I have not seen any reports indicating this. If true, I hope someone will provide a link.
I saw that. But unless I misunderstood that endorsement was this summer, and there was a hint that the ILA had a change of heart. I’ll be relieved to hear this is not the case.
The confusion is that the poster from yesterday's down ballot had the wrong Union; as far as I can tell this Union (ILA) hasn't endorsed nationally this year(perhaps knowing that a strike may come into play)

Some other poster pointed out that the Union leader endorsed Harris

Imo the original poster mistook the Longshoremen for the Teamsters; 2 entirely different unions
I’m not seeing evidence for that anywhere. This article https://www.newsweek.com/harold-daggett-salary-trump-connection-us-port-strike-1962260 (I know, Newsweek, sorry) says the union has not endorsed anyone but did endorse Biden in 2020.
I think the jury is still out. If he was trying to help Trump out then the timing is pretty good.

I think the picture at https://ilaunion.org/ila-president-harold-daggett-asks-ila-members-to-pray-for-former-president-donald-trump-and-victims-at-saturdays-pennsylvania-rally-recalls-productive-meeting-last-november-with-trump/ is most of the “evidence”. I think it could be interpreted either way. Have to remember at that time Trump was at least the slight favorite to win and there was thought that the assassination attempt and corresponding ear tampon were going to help him. So it could have been good politics for his union. On the other hand, if you take his words at face value he’s either a Trump toady or a very stupid man for believing Trump cares about his members.
As far as I can tell; this Union only endorsed Democratic candidates in the past; lots of them are local in nature
