Randi Weingarten 🖇️📚✊🇺🇸@rweingarten.bsky.social · 2h agoTrump promised cheaper drugs. Yet his admin just axed a Medicare subsidy that saved seniors $16 a month which could push premiums up nearly 50%. For many seniors living on fixed incomes, higher costs are a last straw. This is a disgrace. Everyone deserves affordable care. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

My nephew, US Army, died in Iraq This photo exemplifies stolen valor
holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
Apparently it’s unprofessional to have a murdered son

Not pointing fingers...but some motherfuckerz thinking they can disingenuously shame an *actual* ally, into submission, over likely misinterpreted words, instead of going directly to the source of their grievances, is batshit. I mean; who in tf do they think they are? The Democratic establishment?
Erin Biba@erinbiba.bsky.social · 2h agoThis is heartbreaking. @kenjennings.bsky.social did so much damage and his actions caused a cascade that chased an innocent trans woman off the internet The fact that she has suffered all the consequences from his actions should make everyone stop and think about how privilege played out here
Would be absolutely nuts if someone (*an administration) awkwardly inserted their own agendas and self interests into every conversation, whether relevant or not, right?

Hey motherfuckerz...*our* 'time, money, and energy' have about as much to do with *your* campaign, as *our* interests in crypto, ai data centers, *bipartisanship*, & funding a genocide and *your* pipe dreams of accountability, healthcare, and affordability...who tf you think you are?
Jaime Harrison@jaimeharrison.bsky.social · last mo.I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
Donald Trump is racing to stop the BBC from getting his financial records. After the network demanded access to his records to determine whether he actually suffered the billions in damages he claims, Trump’s lawyers are now trying to block that evidence from being turned over.
Republican primary voters are so racist that a guy named Tom Smith who DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE is going to defeat Trump’s endorsed candidate because his name is Amir Hassan.
As it turns out, to no surprise, the Blanche nomination hold up was just theater. The tax immunity was always the prize. It wasnt worth the paper it was written on. See what else they buried last week on my substack, always free to read: open.substack.com/pub/barronst... #trump #Blanche #Iran
In Tucker’s recent interview with his favorite Holocaust-denying “historian,” TC is shocked to learn that the Bolsheviks erected a statue to Judas in Moscow. The only problem is, there is no evidence that this ever happened. But who cares about evidence when you have a fascist narrative to push?

Watch the interview that followed platner's dropping out...this mf'er is shady af and soulless. His partner, who interviewed with him is also 100% complicit with whatever he's hiding. The next, shocking, but unsurprising event will likely be that they are both Republican operatives
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · last wk.Exclusive from me — Daniel Moraff, one of the political operatives behind Graham Platner's rise and fall, has been accused of sexual assault. Full story here:
"I will never understand why these huge corporations refuse to acknowledge objective reality: paying Trump doesn’t buy you anything. All it does is teach him that you’re willing to pay, and next time, he’ll get you to pay more."
ABC Makes Huge Realization About Their Devil's Bargain With Trump
The company’s court filing underscored just how dangerous Trump’s assault of free speech is as the midterms approach.

United Democracy Project, an AIPAC-affiliated super PAC, is running YouTube ads featuring an AI-generated Trump assisting Abdul El-Sayed’s Michigan campaign. “Don’t Help Trump’s Candidate,” the ad warns. Meanwhile, United Democracy Project’s largest donor is Paul Singer, a major Trump fundraiser.

THIS SHOULD TERRIFY EVERYONE. AI models from two of the world’s biggest AI companies broke out of controlled tests and attempted to hack real-world systems. Regulation isn’t optional anymore. If lawmakers don’t get serious about AI regulation, we’re living on borrowed time.
Hard to overstate how much of a threat leaders and public officials who actually govern and serve the people pose to those whose political careers depend on fomenting cynicism and delegitimizing democracy
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 5d agoNow this is the kind of trash talk we can get behind. We’re containerizing neighborhoods by taking trash off our sidewalks and allowing mid-size buildings to trade in their wheelie bins for a bigger, better, cleaner alternative: Empire Bins. It’s time to put a lid on it, New York.
