This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.

MS NOW discussing Michigan primary and electability. All I can say is that if we worried about electability in 2008, Obama wouldn’t have been the nominee.
This. Make the Kochs, AIPAC, and Elon flush it all. Big money don't work in politics no more? May it be so.
TC@rainbovvz.bsky.social · 18h agoAIPAC and corpo PACs spent SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS trying to keep El-Sayed from winning his primary. They just lit that money on fire because they were that desperate to avoid changes to our government that help the working class. An it didn't fucking work, because the people are awake now.
See what that woke Supreme Court has wrought We The People? 🧐
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 19h agoBessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."
Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion
Kansas and Missouri BOTH say fuck the fascists, get bent assholes
Voters in Kansas saw through a blatant political power grab and sent a message — our courts are not for sale.
Kansas voters sent a strong message tonight - they want a judiciary that stands up to the legislature, not one controlled by it or shaped by big money judicial elections
Kansas Voters Crush a Measure to Elect Supreme Court Judges
The rejection of a measure to begin electing justices was a victory for abortion rights groups who defended the Kansas high court’s ruling that abortion was protected in the state constitution.

When El-Sayed wins tonight, the message is easy… “The candidate who wants Healthcare for all moves on to November!” Notice, no political buzzwords are necessary and we’re actually describing what he stands for.
@driftglass.bsky.social an honest review!
Deidre Lynch@drbibliomane.bsky.social · 21h agoYou can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Why aren’t Beltway reporters asking him any questions about this? It seems important. open.substack.com/pub/crooksan...
Trump Cried Witchhunt, Capital One Cried Money Laundering
For the first time, Donald Trump has now been formally tied to an alleged money laundering scheme as part of Capital One's efforts to dismiss his lawsuit against them.
open.substack.com
The sitting president of the United States got his accounts closed for money laundering and its barely news 🤯
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Oh for the love of all that is holy...

You're very welcome.
Maggie From The Commonwealth (God save it!)@5thkid.bsky.social · 2d ago@driftglass.bsky.social & @bluegal.bsky.social, sending a general THANK YOU for your great work. It's a relief to know I'm not alone about the decades-long GOP campaign against my country - and particularly the role Never Trumpers played in supporting it. They have nothing legitimate to say now!
Maddow asked #JamesTalarico about attacks on #trans people and those who think that to win, Dems must "moderate" on trans rights. Talarico answered, "I don't believe we win by selling people out." #Texas
No one in MAGA media had carried more water for the baseless claims about the Reflecting Pool than Jesse Watters. The his old Fox News colleague Jeanine Pirro scuttled the case. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/ref...

Every vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general is a vote to continue the coverup of the Epstein Files.
I will remind you, this is the centrist position.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2d agoIf you want members of this regime to be held legally accountable, you have to add four seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. Otherwise, they'll protect their fellow oligarchs like they did in 2023. 1. Win the senate 2. Block nominees 3. Elect a dem POTUS 4. Congress adds 4 seats 5. Have nice things
minimum bar for 2028 is saying that you consider all of this a corrupt, unenforceable bargain and will prosecute all involved
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d agoFLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
