The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful

How come Mitch McConnell is still getting paid to be a senator, but Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Ted Kennedy are not?

Abdul El Sayed talkin bout being outspent 11:1 but lookin like his supporters got a win regardless. It’s a nice twist on “get the money out of politics” to instead be like “we can defeat the money”

States with the lowest literacy rates shouldn’t be banning books, they should be reading them

Donald Trump cares more about making Vladimir Putin happy than he cares about doing what he promised those who voted for him. Read that again. It’s gut wrenching.

THIS 👇 HERE, AS WELL.......

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.'"

🚨 HAPPENING NOW 🚨 Women's Marchers have been arrested in the Capitol for standing vigil for the people killed by ICE. #AbolishICE llustrations by @channeldraw

Next time there's an insurrection, Capitol Police should shoot to kill all of the insurrectionists immediately because that's the only way to get justice.

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

Russia just used a cluster bomb in Kyiv Cluster bombs used against civilians is a war crime This has to end Putin has to be “put away” People can only take so much and there is absolutely no reason for this other than Russia are blood thirsty criminals

So you can’t afford groceries, gas, healthcare, utilities, or your mortgage. But hey, I got gold horses.

I'm sorry if you disagree with me but … #BirthControl is an extremely critical part of care for women. Hormonal birth control (Depo, the ‘pill’, etc.) is used by many women to regulate their menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand reproductive biology should STFU. #HerBodyHerChoice

A new humiliation. ICE is calling in Haitian immigrants in Ohio only to shackle them with ankle monitors that require constant, degrading charging routines. As leader Vilès Dorsainvil warns, treating legal, hard-working residents like criminals isn't policy—it's pure human degradation! 🎥HaitianTimes

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.

Big corporations donate to Trump → Consumer protections disappear → Your costs go up. It's not a coincidence—it's corruption. And it's costing working families thousands.

Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund check. Amazon got $600 million.: Walmart got $10 Billion. So basically they got to raise all the prices then cash in?

“Russia, if you’re listening, we hope you can find the thousands of Epstein files that are missing.”

ICE set a record in July. 51,000 arrests. Yet…we watch the biggest criminal in US history…walk around unscathed.

Release The Epstein Files NOW!

Hey, Congress? Think before you confirm.

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

We proved it in Wisconsin. We proved it in New York City. We proved it in dozens of special elections over the past year. People power over money!

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.

61 years after the Voting Rights Act became law, Texans are still fighting to be counted at the ballot box. Yesterday, the voice of the people was so loud that the Tarrant County Commissioners Court had no choice but to table their attempt to cut polling locations before the midterm election.

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

On one hand, it's a good thing CBS finally told the truth. On the other hand, CBS can still go fuck themselves. Bullshit artist Bari Weiss and the Ellison family, even with all their money, can't buy back credibility. And smart Americans will never forgive them for what they did to Stephen Colbert.

UPDATE: CBS News reverses course, airs story on 9/11 families supporting Mamdani

Last week, CBS News New York falsely reported that “thousands of 9/11 victims’ families are asking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend this year’s solemn remembrance ceremony.” The articl...
