Reformed right-wing wacko. I didn't vote for Trump because I'm not stupid.
We proved it in Wisconsin. We proved it in New York City. We proved it in dozens of special elections over the past year. People power over money!
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 11h agoAbdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

“he was confronted by Trump over the bare weapons stockpile, Hegseth defended himself & blamed his deputy, Stephen Feinberg, for the shortages & for not ensuring Trump was fully apprised of the issue” Throwing underlinings under the bus for your own incompetence will go over well in the military.🙄
Trump, Hegseth clashed at Camp David over Iran missile depletion concerns
At a Camp David summit this weekend, President Trump demanded answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over extreme munitions shortages.

All but three Minnesota counties use electronic poll books. Anoka County is in the majority that relies on the secure method for tracking voter names and information on a roster. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
A Minnesota city is suing the state. Why? Conspiracy-fueled opposition to election software
One election conspiracist cast doubt on the software, calling an iPad with voter names a “black box” and saying “you don’t know what’s in it.”

In 1936, Walter Huss, the guy who published that 1962 newspaper, was 18 years old and attending fascist meetings in Portland. In 1978, at the age of 60, he was elected chair of the OR GOP. bsky.app/profile/mark...
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 2h agoIt's a tired old game for the Republicans to accuse the Democrats of being communists. The GOP-loving Chicago Tribune wrote a 1936 editorial about the Democratic convention that was headlined, "The Soviets Gather at Philadelphia."
Just in case you thought brain poisoned, dumb as rocks, right wing political analysis was a unique malady of the social media era.
Mitch McConnell’s communications director’s silence and smirk speak volumes. If he were fine, or even improving, she’d just say so. There’s no way this man is coming back.

It’s recently hit the news that Capital One closed more than 300 Trump-affiliated bank accounts a few years ago over money-laundering concerns. “Capital One. What’s in YOUR wallet?” Trump: Money from the U.S. Treasury, and plenty of it. It’s all mine!! apple.news/Ad-ypSGfPRdG...

Zelenskyy: “We understand how many missiles for air defense systems are available worldwide. And they are needed in Ukraine every day – every day, we have to defend ourselves against these Russian strikes. If each of our partner countries helps us now, it will save many lives.”
The GEO Group is profiting off the suffering of our neighbors unjustly held in Moshannon Valley Detention Center. Behind every earnings report are real people and real consequences. We’re demanding accountability.
FWIW, both of VDARE’s founders were on the masthead of the National Review in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Peter Brimelow was also a staffer for Senator Orrin Hatch. This white nationalist thread has been present in the conservative movement for a long time. Screenshot is from 1997.

C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know
Michigan Democrats chose Abdul El-Sayed because he’s a fighter willing to stand up to the tyrant in the Oval Office. Corporate Democrats like Chuck Schumer aren't up to the task because they won’t bite the corporate hands that feed them.

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
This went a little different than his nightly interviews with Sean Hannity.
On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️
If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.
Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.
I've not seen this mentioned elsewhere and wanted to surface it — Cornyn and Tillis both signed off on a letter dated July 15 that urged Blanche to use the DOJ’s might to “stop the abortion industry’s unlawful and unsafe mail-order abortion drug practice.” talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...
it's not why *everything* sucks, but having all three branches of the federal government captured by thieves, abusers, bigots, and cowards is definitely why a lot of things suck
