Q: Are you going to keep Jeanine Pirro? Trump: I haven’t made a decision.
In TN, if we moved the 300M currently allocated to Private School Vouchers, we could fully fund Pre-K.
Politics feels corrupt because it is. Billionaire mega-donors aren’t just buying yachts and jets — they’re buying power, and they’re using that power to rig our political system. jamestalarico.com/issue/corrup...
Who can forget the infamous Putin dinner before the 2016 election attended by Michael Flynn and Jill Stein.
🧵🧵🧵 A scandal that hardly anyone knows happened is Trump giving traitor Michael Flynn $1.25 million in your tax money. Flynn, Trump’s 1st national security adviser, pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI but was pardoned by Trump. He sued, alleging "weaponization," and DOJ paid him in March. 1/4🧵
Thanks for including me, @mlipsitt.bsky.social 💙 While children go without food, our government pays for gaudy golden statues. It's no wonder they believe they don't matter. They don't in the eyes of this corrupt regime. #ProudBlue #GoldenStatues #Corruption #GTS
Day 10 of my Share button not working on Bluesky! How many millions of children in America & around the World see nothing but doors shut in their faces? When Will OUR Children Be the Priority?

South Carolina has no state minimum wage. The floor is still $7.25 an hour. Two parents working full time at that wage bring home $30,160 a year combined, before taxes. That is not enough to cover rent, groceries, and childcare. You are not the problem. The wage is. #NewSC #JohnsonSkardon
Now Senate Republicans are set to confirm the nominee and make sure it happens. This vote is a vote to make President Trump above the law. It’s that simple.
If you don’t pay taxes, you face consequences. That’s how our system works. But not for Trump. Trump forced his nominee for Attorney General to promise to make him immune from any tax crimes Trump may have committed.
Check out this tracker of the cost of the Iran War from Brown University.. Current per household cost exceeds $600. #stopallwars #peacenotwar #Iranwarofchoice #euniceforsc
Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
90 Days til Election Day! Enjoy the 90s hit from Wilson Phillips - “ Hold On” which also seems appropriate. Ever wonder what the differences are between State and U.S. Senators? Or state Senators and state House Representatives? This explains it briefly.

Here is the discussion I am talking about, where I laid out their own leaked memos in full. Believe what they do, not what they say. bsky.app/profile/digi...
1/ Republicans are running a psych operation on Democrats. They warn us not to nominate populists. But leaked GOP memos prove they’re actually terrified of populist candidates. Trump said it himself: Bernie was the one he didn’t want to face. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
10/ Michigan decides whether Democrats take back the Senate, so this seat is worth a fortune to them. Your job is simple. Do not fall for the fake outrage. Check who is paying for what you see. Keep talking to Stevens voters. Stay sharp, stay loud, and stay together.
9/ Do not buy the spin that El-Sayed is the easy opponent Republicans wanted to face. Their own leaked memos, reported by Ken Klippenstein, call this kind of populist “uniquely dangerous” in a general election. Watch what they do with their money, not what they say on cable.
8/ So expect the attacks on El-Sayed and the people backing him to ramp up fast. Some will be real voters with real concerns, and that is fair. But a lot of it will be fake. Bots, paid accounts, and coordinated smears dressed up to look like genuine anger.
7/ Here’s the part that should worry you most. The data brokers already have your profile. They know your zip code, your habits, your worries. That information gets used to target you personally, with messages built to push you toward voting a certain way, or not voting at all.
6/ They are not just buying ads. They own the platforms where you get your news, they shape the outlets that cover the race, and they steer the narrative you scroll past every day. When the same people own the megaphone and the money, the deck is stacked.
5/ Watch for a two part play. First, they lift Mike Rogers up as the reasonable choice. Second, they work to convince Haley Stevens voters that El-Sayed is too risky to back, hoping those Democrats stay home in November instead of showing up. Division is the strategy.
4/ Some of them will do it out loud, with endorsements and press releases. Others will move quietly, through PACs and shell groups you will never trace back to a name. Either way, the goal is the same. Protect the big corporate agenda Rogers has promised to serve.
3/ Here’s what happens next. Those donors did not care about Stevens the person. They cared about the agenda she would protect. Now that she lost, their money needs a new home, and Mike Rogers is standing right there with his hand out. Same checks, new name on them.
2/ Around $60 million flooded this race. $54 million backed Haley Stevens, just $5 million backed El-Sayed. Nearly 11 to 1 against him and he still won. Nearly all of it was billionaire or big business funded support. That money will now move to Rogers www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...
El-Sayed leads Stevens in closely watched Democratic US Senate primary
Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens are in a tight contest in what's become the most-expensive Democratic U.S. Senate primary contest in U.S. history.
detroitnews.com
1/ 🧵 The most expensive Dem. Senate primary in US history just ended. El-Sayed won anyway, outspent 11 to 1. The billionaires who lost tonight aren’t done. They’re about to switch sides & fund Mike Rogers instead. Here’s the playbook they’re about to run. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #ONEV1 #DV1 MO voters rejected a ballot measure that would have limited the Missourians' power to amend the state constitution. It may not make a headline on primary-analysis day. Yet low-key wins here & there add up. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution
Notably, the proposed amendment would not have affected constitutional amendments that the legislature put on the ballot. State lawmakers only wanted to make it harder to pass a voter-led measure, not...

10/ When you know the play, it loses its power. A discouragement ad only works on people who do not see it coming. So talk to the Stevens voters in your life, name the trick out loud, and encourage them to show up & vote for AES. Watch the money, not the message they paid to put on your screen.
9/ Here is the move for Abdul El-Sayed, and he is sharp enough to see it. Go find Haley Stevens voters now, before the ads & other nudges hit. Tell them plainly. You are about to see posts pushing you to stay home or back Rogers, from the same billionaires who spent $54 million to defeat AES.
8/ Watch for two messages aimed at Haley Stevens voters. One says your vote does not matter, so why bother, just stay home. The other says Abdul is too risky and Mike Rogers is the safe grownup. Both are built to do the same thing, shrink the Democratic vote.
