Why is it not front page news on every major media outlet that the United States commander in chief had hundreds of his bank accounts frozen for money laundering??????

The fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching. Why not even try to ban like…. The arch? Anything!

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Absolutely 💯 Agree….

Yeah the right really love the military "industrial complex" but service persons - not so much. Greatest military in the world except for this. No showers, no soap, food rationing but hey they broke the record for most days at sea working 12 - 14hr shifts. Wake up military people they don't care!

Moldy showers and no soap: Military families are outraged by conditions on USS Lincoln

The aircraft carrier's long deployment in the Iran war is raising concerns that the sailors and Marines on board are facing poor conditions, low supplies and fatigue.

This openly corrupt, criminal administration must be stopped. How in the fuck is this just happening daily with no consequences for Traitor Trump?

Debate! Make them say the quiet part out loud

35.9 million people didn’t vote in 2024. Say that number out loud again. Now we’ve got 90 days to make sure it never happens again, and every single one of us has to show up like it’s personal, because it is. #BlueWaveIn90Days #USDemocracy

The questions asked at last week's hearing added to the continued attacks on government scientists that have worked behind the scenes for decades. Now, any govt scientist is at risk if they give advise to political leaders that are not aligned politically. 🧪 www.axios.com/2026/08/05/f...

Fauci's legal woes could deter scientists from government service

It's part of a broader erosion of the federal health workforce.

ICE set a record in July. 51,000 arrests. Yet…we watch the biggest criminal in US history…walk around unscathed.

Rent isn’t high by accident, it’s high because 9 landlords colluded with an algorithm called RealPage to fix prices behind your back. Kris Mayes sued every single one of them. This is what a real fighter looks like, and it’s why she deserves your vote, AZ! #BlueWaveIn90Days

The money quote is counterfeit. There's no record of El-Sayed saying that. Might be worth pointing this out, if you're amplifying the claim.

10/ And it’s coming for your state. Congress delayed most of the changes until AFTER the midterms, because they know what this looks like. In November, federal money to run SNAP gets cut in half. More layoffs. More red tape. More Dees. More Alejandras. Nationwide.

9/ Why did Republicans do this? To pay for Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy. That’s the whole story. They took food out of a working mom’s baby’s mouth and a grandma’s grandsons’ plates so billionaires could get a bigger check. Call it what it is: cruelty as policy.

1/ A 28-year-old working mom in Arizona got a letter demanding she complete her food stamps interview by Feb 28. The letter was dated March 30. She asked caseworker: “Do I look like I can create a time machine?” This isn’t a glitch. This is the plan. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

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

Me looking at my wife as the Amazon delivery van pulls up outside our house again.

When your party leader is a president with historically low approval ratings, who has raised prices through tariffs and wars, uses disaster relief and science grants to punish states that didn’t vote for him, and has agents shooting people in the streets, this is what you do.

Hey, Congress? Think before you confirm.

JUST IN: Trump is scrambling to stop the BBC from digging into the finances of his business empire after a judge ordered him to hand over records in his $10B defamation lawsuit against the network.

As an Ohioan, I don't need max miller to step down. The average voter has to see, accept, & internalize that miller is the republican party. Republicans were fine with trump. They were fine with clarence & kavenaugh on the court, hastert & jordan in the locker room, and so on. Make them own it.
