I watched the Trump-Mamdani Q&A, and I think the Mayor is playing him like a little fiddle. He’s so much smarter and sophisticated in his interactions, and the Mayor is most definitely working to get shit done for New Yorkers.

It's the best way to deal with being outspent: call it out and make it a talking point.

"James Talarico, for example, has tried to put a spotlight on the flood of Republican money coming into the state, putting out an ad pitting himself against billionaires and special interests." That's one way to deal with being outspent.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

Elon Musk is flying under the radar in the Texas Senate race. Republicans want to keep it that way.

One Republican involved in the Texas Senate contest called Musk’s in-your-face campaigning in Wisconsin last year “a mis

Ryan Marquardt, VP of the Iowa Farmers Union, said this after news broke that the U.S. would import hundreds of thousands of tons of below-market-priced beef from Argentina and Brazil: “I’ve never seen farmers more pissed,” Marquardt said. “That was the maddest I’ve seen farmers in a long time.”

Farmers Are 'Pissed' Over Trump's Moves on Beef and Tariffs

The president has upset a reliably Republican rural voter base ahead of the midterms.

This is about one thing and one thing alone. Steering our research dollars for cancer, heart disease, and new infectious diseases to Trump’s political allies and friends.

Breaking News: Federal officials are drafting an executive order that would help cement President Trump’s ability to control billions of dollars in scientific grants funded by the National Institutes of Health.

They better be told of the risks. Esp fertility suppression. Exogenous T suppresses LH/FSH, which can markedly reduce or even stop sperm production. This can result in testicular shrinkage and infertility. Recovery isn’t guaranteed. Many other serious and unwanted side effects as well.

So many busy bees! 🐝

So much energy here. (And I just noticed the grasshopper. 😊) #sunflowers

I’m convinced it’s a secret message the sun projected though the window and onto my cabinet. I wonder what it says? 😊

What’s it going to take for mainstream media to say loudly and clearly that Trump is building a dictatorship? If not now, when?

While RFK Jr.'s been shouting "Make America Healthy Again" from the rooftops, over 160 foods have been recalled so far this year. There’s nothing healthy about food-borne illness.

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

Who does he think believes these words? Seriously, WTH? Are his die-hard supporters going to reason this away by saying he's playing 4-dimensional chess or something?

There ya go, folks. The self-proclaimed Genius just explained that we can get rid of our trade deficit if we all just stop eating bananas. It’s so simple. Why didn’t anyone think of that?? Come on, be a patriot — ditch the bananas! 🍌

Paxton protects pedophiles and is a threat to Texas children. If he’s elected to congress, he’ll be a threat to children nationwide! #TalaricoForTexas #VoteBlue

A new report from independent investigators appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council says there are “reasonable grounds” to believe the United States committed war crimes during two strikes in Iran in February.

Perfect answer from Abdul El-Sayed on Piker's comments about al-Qaeda being worse than the United States. Good for him.

What’s going on here? Something is eating a fly on a daisy? What is it? WTH? 🤷‍♀️

Stock Trades by Presidents While in Office: Bill Clinton: ZERO George W. Bush: ZERO Barack Obama: ZERO Donald Trump (first term): 517 Joe Biden: ZERO Donald Trump (second term): 24,000+, averaging >60 trades per trading day. This is why the crook in the Oval Office manipulates the markets.

“Who appointed these losers? Does anyone know?” “You appointed both of them, sir.” “Quiet, piggy. You are fake news.”

Anyone else just tired? It’s constant shenanigans from this administration, and our mental health has taken such a beating. We just wanted to say that if you’re feeling the same way, we understand. We’re here with you and for you. It’s a lot.

Trump effectively hatched an extortion scheme, telling his handpicked Fed chair that the White House would cut off trade to much of the world in response to a rate hike. Kevin Warsh did it anyway. Was Trump bluffing? (I have a hunch we know the answer to that.) www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Federal Reserve raises interest rates to curb inflation, despite pressure from Trump

To the disappointment of the White House, Kevin Warsh raised interest rates by a quarter of a point, marking the first such increase in three years.
