🚨BREAKING: Missouri voters have rejected a ballot measure to limit their own ability to pass amendments to the state constitution — a proposal that fueled extraordinarily high voter turnout in Tuesday’s election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution

Some good news. For a change! #politics

Oil and coal companies conspired to heat up the globe knowing full well how they would change the climate! Winds up to 100MPH in LA and 30-40 MPH in Spokane are not the fault of the mayor, Governor, or fire department. Wildfires will only get worse!#GlobalWarming

The Spokane fire conspiracy theories are almost identical to the Altadena fire conspiracy theories. These people have no understand of how fire works, how science works, or why some things burn. I'm writing a book chapter about it, but the people who need to read it don't read books.

From 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.

I snarkyly said this in a comment but it is true. Stop complaining about the courts and start using them. Being angry on social media isn’t going to change anything. You have to bankrupt them and destroy their support. Isolate them culturally and isolate them socially.

Trump is a fuck up! Everything he touches he fucks up! Why? Because he believes he is a great genius! He forgets he never learned history, science, economics, or civics! But he learned how to lie real good!#Trump

Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.

Today's Prospect Patriot is Frances Perkins. She saw the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory go ablaze in 1911 and her life changed. "The New Deal was born that day," she said. 22 years later she'd be America's first female cabinet member. prospect.org/2026/08/04/a...

We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

A Police Executive Research Forum report from 2014 showed that CBP officers were purposely placing themselves in front of moving vehicles, and then shooting at them. This isn’t something that can be reformed. Abolish ICE. www.npr.org/sections/the...
