Sanders: The irony is that the proper criticism of communism is that the Soviet Union was an authoritarian society. And then you’ve got the most authoritarian president in the history of this country. So I suppose when he says, “I’d be a great communist,” yeah, I think there’s some truth to that
lol. This is our trade deadline. We would pay MAGA to take these losers and they’re doing it for free ❤️

This is such a critical thing most people don't know about their local cops; Most don't even live in their community, and it matters A Seattle Lawyer told me that it's well known that cops with rightwing politics take jobs in Seattle to 'bash queers' AKA like Officer Mark Rawlins
Push The Needle@pushtheneedle.bsky.social · 6h agoThis is spot on. Fascinating that his home city of Chicago requires all police officers to live in the city, not just the police chief. That reforms a lot
It really seems that his objective is to destroy our country.
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 ... "
CEOs are raking in $17 million a year, 300 times what their own workers make, and John Husted’s answer is “learn to budget.” Sherrod Brown wrote the law that got over 100,000 Ohioans their stolen pensions back. Vote for who fights for you, not who lectures you. #BlueWaveIn90Days

Whenever one of these freaks goes off on a tangent about their trans conspiracy of the day, the proper response -- from an interviewer or anyone else -- is "well, it seems like you're having some sort of mental breakdown here, so we'll wrap it up"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7h agoRoyce White is now ranting about "transgender sex dolls" during a forum that is supposed to be about agricultural issues. This guy is a serious Republican in Minnesota who had the party's nomination for a Senate seat two years ago. Insanity.
Scott Bessent publicly attacked a journalist for daring to report on him dragging the Federal Reserve into President Donald Trump’s effort to prop up a foreign currency.

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."
Trump-enabler Todd Blanche plans to make Dobbs permanent (i.e., no surgery, no drugs) permanent in every state. Call your Senators and tell them to vote No on Blanche for Attorney General! www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

Days before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...

A lifelong Republican just endorsed Mary Peltola because she understands working-class struggles better than the people supposedly on his own side. This is what happens when we build something bigger than party lines. Let’s keep that momentum going. #BlueWaveIn90Days
Through its super PAC, the United Democracy Project, AIPAC broke its own single-race spending record by funding $30 million in attack ads against El-Sayed.
What once would have been a pitch in a writers’ room for tastelessly edgy joke in a comedic satire of a deranged country full of greedy sociopaths is now our reality.

Senator Whitehouse pointing out how absolutely ludicrous it is to vote for Todd Blanche. There will never be any justice for the Epstein survivors, no justice for the families of the victims of ICE andno justice for the Capitol police that were attacked on Jan. 6. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance
Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸@judiciarydems.senate.gov · yesterdaySen. WHITEHOUSE: Voting for this guy Todd Blanche today gives Republicans’ blessing to the botched Epstein Files release. Even Pam Bondi pointed at Blanche as responsible. It gives their blessing to his continuing role in the coverup.
On Tuesday, a federal appeals court said Trump was wrong to terminate climate funding. His EPA will ask SCOTUS to step in, but it's a definite setback for the Republican effort to dismantle environmental protection laws in Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...
Divided federal appeals court says Trump administration was wrong to terminate climate funds

Sherrod Brown is running for the middle class! He envisions a country where wages are livable, healthcare is not for the wealthy, groceries do not require a loan and people are valued over profit! Help Ohio elect Sherrod Brown! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance #RisingBlue
This is the reality inside ICE detention centers. Children are being forced into jail-like conditions while this Administration strips away their basic human rights. We cannot allow this stand. We must hold this inhumane Administration accountable!
