Routine reminder that Donald Trump is not on our side.
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto@cortezmasto.senate.gov · 4h agoI’m glad the President has his priorities straight.
I’m glad the President has his priorities straight.
… and judging from his usual reaction to sordid stories like this, I’m sure Donald feels very bad for that company.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 4h agoNEW: Trump is speaking today at a casino owned by a company battling lawsuits alleging its properties failed to stop the trafficking of a 9-year-old girl and other victims. The suits allege negligence and inadequate security. Our latest:
This IS cause for celebration! 🥂🍾 🥳 Cheers to states that refused to hand voter rolls over to the Trump administration—and to Marc Elias and the legal eagles at democracydocket.com for fighting for them! There are still lots of fires to put out before the midterms. Consider becoming a supporter!

Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 5h agoNotice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

Forbes@forbes.com · yesterdaySummer’s almost over and Sean Duffy’s controversial road trip reality series has yet to launch, leaving corporate sponsors out millions of dollars and critics asking what the money was really for.
THIS IS THE SHIT, PEOPLE! When we show up in numbers too big to ignore, even Texas Republicans knuckle under. WE HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THIS COUNTRY. Let's use it!
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 18h agoRepublican officials were faced with a massive backlash from outraged voters who packed the meeting room — and two overflow rooms — to demand that their voting locations remain open. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I can't express how much people like me have been longing for this to happen. The acceleration of progress is what we've been living for!
David Roberts@volts.wtf · yesterdayDon't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
OHIO: Wouldn't it be nice to shrug off your reputation as a state that sends domestic abusers and molester protectors to Washington?
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 17h agoI guess Max Miller figures that some Ohio voters keep reelecting Jim Jordan so he might as well stay in.
You may be trying to get back on a little less food and a little less gasoline ... ... but Republicans have given ICE so much money, they can outfit ALL the Haitians in Springfield with ankle monitors! And yes: If you voted for Republicans, you DID vote for this.
Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social · 3d agoAm told at the blue ash Ohio ICE office today that a bunch of springfield Haitians were told to just “check in” at are now having ankle monitors put on them, which, uh….. they’re not supposed to be fucking doing that
Let me see if I have this right: All the people we put in body bags and refer trucks All of us who worked in the ER and FULL icus All of the dead we cried over This was all fake? Sure pal.
They're building noise-polluting, energy-sucking, water-gulping data centers, 100,000 sq. ft. to several million sq. ft. in size—and AI will still never come up with anything remotely as awe-inspiring as what Nature produces in every part of the world.

"There's nothing we can do to rein in the president," whined spineless Cornyn, who voted twice—TWICE—against convicting that president of high crimes in his first term. Don't depict him and Tillis as dogs. Dogs have backbones.
conifergirl.bsky.social@conifergirl.bsky.social · yesterdayFrom Stuart Greenberg: GOP Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are assholes!! If they really wanted to do the right thing, they’d use their new found power to get all the Epstein Files released before voting to advance Todd Blanche. Instead they roll over, sit up and perform on cue.
Is YOUR SENATOR a mobster at heart? Our Sec. of State is. Threats and bureaucratic punishment as diplomatic tools. ALL signers are REPUBLICANS: Marco Rubio Mitch McConnell Tom Cotton Martha Blackburn Ted Budd Ted Cruz Pete Ricketts Rick Scott Katie Boyd Britt Kevin Cramer Bill Hagerty Tim Scott
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · yesterdayICC CHIEF PROSECUTOR: “Oppose Israel and we will go after your family — You have been warned. Rubio, McConnell sent me a letter… what’s liberating is accepting mortality.”
Drunkard Fox propagandist Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred and charged with prosecutorial misconduct for pursuing criminal charges against individuals who she knew were innocent.
Actually, women dying in their 20s and 30s because doctors won't provide standard of care for miscarriages for fear of state abortion laws: THAT is big government at its worst. And it's happening right there, deep in the ❤️ of Texas.
Skye@simplyskye.bsky.social · 2d agoJames Talarico on Tx THC ban: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed & eating edibles bc politicians in Austin say so— We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst”
How do we get the rest of MAGA to spend the midterms binge-watching The Dukes of Hazzard on Netflix? The pitch: Why stand in line at the polls when you could be watching the Duke boys do donuts in General Lee? Republicans are gonna lose anyway. Let's workshop it a little.

SHIT SHOW DAY 559@yieldcurve23.bsky.social · 2d agoI spoke to a Trumplican who told me they were not going to vote because the GOP was predicted to lose😂👍
Joe set 'em up so we could see them. Let's make sure the voters can, too. AND that the cuts are timed for AFTER the midterms.
Brant Reeves@bireeves95.bsky.social · 2d agoI Remember, Hope you do….
FYI: Rick Reilly is author of Commander in Cheat: How golf explains Trump, which is a whole-ass book about how Donald's approach to golf is reflected in his "governing" style and business decisions. TL; dr: He cheats.

Share this with MAGAs in your life: “Trump was willing to throw the Jan. 6 defendants under the bus while preserving his own IRS immunity deal.” Also: push back any attempt to make heroes of Cornyn and Tillis, who appear to be comfortable with protecting Trump. www.rawstory.com/trump-immuni...
