Once again, the epic failure of the Iran war is simply not receiving the same nonstop, breathless treatment in the press that Joe Biden’s not 100% surgically clean implementation of Trump’s totally unplanned rapid withdrawal timeline in 🇦🇫 received in 2021: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Looks like at least eight US F-15 fighter jets and one A-10 were damaged in this attack.

lol I just realized Trump is treating the voters like his construction crews on a building project. Tell them to do a job and then stiff them on the promised compensation.

They type up this bullshit vow verbatim, but meanwhile when he says something insane or racist they generously paraphrase him. It’s so fucking irresponsible.

President Trump capped the opening night of the Republican midterm convention by slamming Democrats as extremists and defending the war in Iran while making the extraordinary pledge to pay every American $5,000 if his party retains its control of both chambers of Congress. https://to.pbs.org/4xLx966

there is something sad, broken, and joyless about a movement where when a member of that minority becomes the first to break the glass ceiling and be elected to Congress that person is not only not seen as a goddamn hero and the leader of the community but is vilified this is about Sarah McBride

I don’t know what to do with people who ostensibly care about an issue but are detached from the reality of that issue in fundamental ways

It’s a Wednesday… but it’s Election Day! I’m watching: —the RI governor race —Providence mayor, ft a DSA challenger —six Dem primaries for RI legislature Details:

It’s Election Day in Rhode Island, where voters will decide the fate of the endangered governor. They’ll also settle many primaries where progressives and centrists are facing off for local offices. Our guide breaks down the main hotspots:

He is literally embracing extremist who have implemented Project 2025. You can thank leftists and progressives for John Fetterman. Black people told you not to elect him.

Here’s the video of Sen. John Fetterman’s video appearance at the GOP Convention:

This, too, is whitewashing, is reputation laundering. Letting these Nazi fucks pretend anonymously that they’d really like to constrain him but lack the ability, that’s a vicious lie.

"Donald Trump’s inner circle has given up trying to dissuade the president from following through with his policies or plans, even when they know they are bad."

I fucking despise the leftist grifters who lie to trans people about who really supports them it's the Democrats who support us. the leftist bros you're listening to want you to be disposable bodies for their revolution. they *want you dead*. Democrats have our back. Stop listening to liars.

People are missing the real threat posed by AI here: If evil superintelligent AI wants to destroy humanity, it'll just convince swing voters to vote Republican. That is already happening.

Medical professionals warned about this specifically.

NEW: Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period. The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans.

A few years ago I had to listen to a month’s worth of stories from my husband about the drama in his city hall office to collect money for and agree on a new toaster for their break room. Taxpayers couldn’t pay for that but I’m sure this is nbd, right? 🫠

After Trump threatened to ban Bombardier sales in the US, GOP Sen Roger Marshall struggled to look as if he's fighting to protect US jobs but without saying a single critical word about Trump. This is already leading to harsh local coverage, too: newrepublic.com/article/2151...

Perfect: Trump just threatened to punish Canada by banning Canadian company Bombardier's aerospace sales in US. But Bombardier's US headquarters is in Kansas, forcing GOP Sen Roger Marshall to distance himself and giving Dems new hope in this tough race. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2151...

Why Trump’s Angry New Tirade at Canada Is About to Backfire On Him

Trump’s latest threats to punish Canada could hurt a lot of Americans workers—including in states with big races this fall—even as it reveals MAGA’s deepest failings.

You Won’t Win the Revolution

The descent of stable societies into ones of endemic violence rarely produces anything but new forms of tyranny and terror.

On 988 Day, I want every Californian to know help is available, and you are never alone. I’m proud to have helped launch the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline as HHS Secretary, giving people across America a simple, three-digit number to call, text, or chat with someone when they need help.

BREAKING: Chris Pappas is officially the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire! Chris is a small business owner and lifelong Granite Stater. In the Senate, he’ll fight to tackle corruption and push back against special interests to make life more affordable for New Hampshire.

We are in that cycle when we are going to have to battle hateful folks consistently without giving them an inch. Thus will include friends and family.

A lot of people cannot bring themselves to admit that people don't just vote for the far-right because of left insufficiency on economics. They vote for the far-right because they support the far-right's racist authoritarian agenda.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

The labor movement has changed what it means to be a worker in America.

If you’ve ever worked a 40-hour week, earned overtime or collected Social Security, you should know Frances Perkins. As FDR’s Labor Secretary, she helped build protections workers still rely on today and was the first woman to serve in a U.S. Cabinet. Remember her name. 🇺🇸 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

For the love of god stop getting your news from a bunch of whiny little bitch podcasters who don’t know how anything works in this country, stop listening to racist ratfucking failsons who profit off of Dems being in the minority, learn how bills pass, & what the Minority Leader’s job actually is.

Y’all still can’t even comprehend that Jared leaking a meeting that Jared fucking requested because he didn’t get anything he wanted from the guy he expects to replace SPEAKER JOHNSON, is bad on Kushner & not Jeffries when we’ll realistically need GOP votes no matter the next Congressional split.
