First time I've heard anyone except Sayed mention this. The Press seems to have banished climate from their minds. Not so the voters.
Leah Stokes@leahstokes.bsky.social · 3h agoEl-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.

its very telling that the mainstream media narrative is that dsa has wacky and unreasonable positions when the republican party position is that abortion should be banned, latino families should be put in concentration camps, black people should be shot by cops and transgender people shouldnt exist
These people are mad at Dr. Fauci because he told them to wear a mask during a deadly pandemic.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
So Tillis and Cornyn’s position is that the slush fund and IRS immunity is disgusting, illegal, immoral, and unethical but they are willing to confirm the man who agreed to it as Attorney General of the United States as long as he takes it back.
I always go back to this. MS Declaration of the causes of war. This is the SECOND sentence. They knew exactly what the war was about. "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world." www.battlefields.org/learn/primar...
The Declaration of Causes of Seceding States
The Declaration of Causes made by Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas.

TO RECAP: - Prez paid his corrupt friend millions to turn Reflecting Pool blue, it turned green - matting came loose - so he arrested an Olympic athlete and 6 other innocent Americans and tried to pin it on them - all his cronies lied that these people as vandals - case dismissed on zero evidence
The entitled rich. They’re sitting on a $5 MILLION *second* home, and they’re bitching about their taxes. They’re worthless human beings, however much money they have.

The venom aimed at Fauci has no logical connection to anything he’s actually done. He’s a public figure in politics widely admired for being knowledgable and basically decent in a way that makes the sort of person who loves Trump feel resentful and inferior.
Epstein and Larry Nassar (sexually abusing college gymnast in the guise of "medical" care) -- just "caring for young ladies" to help them "reach their full potential." But Trump, he just "grab[bed] snatch." Even Epstein won't sugarcoat Trump.

it's not encouraging to have a Fed chair who is openly pushing political propaganda. The inflation rate was moving towards the Fed's 2.0% target until Trump's tariffs and wars kicked in. That is a fact that Warsh must know.

“Twins,” [antivaxer Mary] Holland added in another tweet, “don’t just die.” No shit. That's why they think she murdered them. Natural causes would be unlikely to kill both babies out of the blue on the same day.
She's charged with killing her twins. The anti-vaccine movement made her a martyr.
Andrea Shaw is charged with suffocating her toddlers. Children's Health Defense says it was the vaccines.

Ossoff: "Each day his allies are fewer & even they no longer deny his corruption, the obscene self-dealing while he plunges nation deeper into reckless war while he rakes in billions & builds himself ballroom & prepares again to attack elections. Let's be clear, one man attempted fraud in GA: Trump"
What might a Dem midterm contract for America look like? *Stop the Iran war *Investigate the corruption *Block illegal tariffs fueling inflation *Stop weaponization of federal funding by reasserting legislative power of the purse *Impose accountability on immigration enforcement
interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”
tony romm@tonyromm.bsky.social · 2w agoNEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
This is a great idea we need to implement!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."
Absolutely 💯 Tax Them…. NEW: Over the World Cup final weekend, ~3,000 private jets flew in and out of the NY area. On the last day, private jet CO2 in the area doubled its 5-year norm(!). Private jets are the most carbon-intensive form of travel. Tax them.
A new Fox News poll has Dems up 53/46 on the generic ballot. Says Fox: “Notably, 53% is the highest percentage either party has received on the generic House ballot in Fox News polling since 1996.” www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...
AOC doesn't hold back after reports Mike Johnson may call an early August recess: "I mean, we're here to do a job... And if you are leaving your job early, you need to be accountable for that and tell people why. And these folks just don't want to work. And it's really shameful."
😳 Rep. Lieu explodes on Mike Waltz: "You don't even know how many US troops were wounded in this Iran War! Shame on you! You are the US ambassador and you don't even know how many US troops are wounded! You should be ashamed! You should resign!"
Can't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.
