El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
This is as it should be. No matter what slice of the Democratic Party you reside in, we must all pull together NOW. That goes for Progressives supporting Center and Center supporting Progressives, If they win their primary - we have to unify for the midterms! We can fight later!

@fetterman.senate.gov wasted NO time going on CNN to spread his maga narrative on El-Sayed. Oh and fuck CNN for hosting him! There's a reason I stopped watching them in 2018!

Is anybody else howling at the serendipity of a gigantic narcissist obsessing over a reflecting pool? Perfection. You couldn't make this shit up.

"If only the Constitution had established a co-equal branch of government that exists in part to rein in the president. Ah, well. I guess we'll never know."

Republicans just voted to slash Medicare benefits that seniors rely on every single day. They call it “reform.” Patients will call it higher costs, fewer doctors, and longer waits. This isn’t abstract. It’s your parents’ meds. Your grandparents’ care. #RepublicanMedicareCuts

Trump and the stooges in the Senate. He’ll grab his IRS tax immunity deal, then keep doling out loot through his Cop Bashing Fund. Why does President Pickpocket need IRS immunity unless he’s corrupt AF?

NOTE: The lawyer/law firm that represented Trump in his Capital One money laundering lawsuit is the same lawyer Judge Williams referred to the bar for disciplinary action in the bogus Trump IRS lawsuit that resulted in the slush fund and tax immunity.

Thank you all for calling out the abuse and disgrace of these men that abuse and ruin the lives of women. There was a period where I couldn't do it myself. Where I blamed myself. Where I was re-traumatized. But your voice voices means so much. You have no idea. I'm so so grateful.
Stop using their language by calling it the anti weaponization fund. It's the "insurrection payoff and tax audit cheat fund!"
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 3d agoRepublican leaders refused to say on Sunday’s news shows that President Donald Trump’s controversial “anti-weaponization fund” is dead, or whether it even should be. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
An ICE goon walked across the street and pepper sprayed a woman for filming him on her phone.
Trump is spending… -$95M for “D.C. Beautification,” including $5M to paint bronze horses gold -At least $300M to construct his ballroom -Nearly $15M to repaint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Meanwhile, millions of Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or healthcare. Priorities.
RFK Jr. likes to claim that he is “restoring trust” in public health, so let’s gaze at the glory of what he’s achieved. In March of 2025, 77% of adults trusted CDC recommendations. In March of 2026, it’s only 50%. Trust in public health in the U.S. has cratered since he took office.

The people who spent years defending, promoting & amplifying Trump are now publicly turning on him. You don’t have to take the word of his critics anymore. Listen to the people who helped build the extremist, cult-like MAGA movement. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance #DefendersOfDemocracy #FactsMatter
“I don’t think people should be taking advice — medical advice — from me." -Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I wish the media would take heed. Stop platforming this man. He has nothing to offer the people of the U.S. Every media appearance amplifies misinformation.
I can attest. This is classic abuser BS gaslighting.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 3d agoThe points Miller makes in his video are common from abusers. He recorded her. He calls her crazy. He says she was nice to him. He says she never went to a doctor. Anyone who is a survivor of DV has heard all of it.
