A major bank closing 300 Trump bank accounts because they were flagged for potential money laundering should be a far bigger story…
Is the President Laundering Money?

Major congratulations to @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, @donavanmckinney.bsky.social & @wewill2026.bsky.social for their victories in Michigan. Proud to support them. (1/4)
El-Sayed: "I believe our kids have a right to our tax dollars. I'm about 10 min away from schools that look like they did 50 years ago. Our money should be spent here rather than sent in the form of bombs or tanks to foreign govts, particularly when they are doing most heinous things with them ... "
I learned about Piker for the first time because of Kirk. Enough said.
I hate French cuffs. Cufflinks are nice. I see the issue; I’m aware.
Again folks, just need to keep pointing this out: the traditional corporate media covering politics essentially drove Biden out of the WH for this. ↘️

Trump: "And as illegal aliens go home, the cost of rent, groceries, and other staples is coming down very fast ... it was a word they devised -- 'affordability'"
Abdul 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.
“.. In April, Mr. Trump fired his Navy secretary for not moving quickly enough on building the battleship of his dreams.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/u...
This is just rank Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism, based on the bigoted idea that there is something inherently scary about a president with the last name "El-Sayed." It is incumbent on all of us to call it out.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
Klobuchar is going to put up Saddam numbers in November.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 11h agoEvery single Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota (including Mike Lindell!) makes clear that if Trump tried another Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities, they would support his efforts to brutalize residents
I am aware (but do not completely understand—this, despite a degree in political science [though, granted, an ancient one at this point])—how/when/why liberal and left[ist] became such different things. I consider myself both. 🤷🏻♂️
“You probably have a doctor you trust with a name like mine” 👏👏
Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · 13h agoI don't think I can remember a US politician with better messaging than this man. Ever. And that includes Mamdani. Run him for President.
part of the answer is that everyone’s taxes are going up and the people whose taxes are going to go up the most are the people most likely to get quoted in the newspaper about it
i worry less about big lofty questions like “what happens to american influence globally” than “what are we going to do about the crater republicans put in federal revenues”
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.
We appear to be approaching Peak Stoopid™️. I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to hang on….
That was the stated purpose behind the establishment of the branch of government in which you serve but go off king
