Love it when people impatiently pass to get to a red light faster than you.

So what if it turns out the lesson we may need to learn is that we’re going to need each other?

Happy Birthday to a real one! As Anthony Edwards celebrates today, we are throwing it back to earlier this year when he faced off in a little friendly one-on-one with @barackobama.bsky.social.

If yall woulda listened to Black people we woulda had 2 term Hillary Clinton handing over to Kamala Harris! We would have a majority LIBERAL court locked in for all our lifetimes and we wouldnt be in a dumb as war with Iran, Emma!

Happy 65th Birthday to @barackobama.bsky.social! I am honored to work alongside you in this fight for our democracy and affordable health care!

Sen. WELCH: The President is abusing his authority. The Senate is failing to use our authority. We can stop capitulating today by doing our job and rejecting a completely unqualified man to be the top law enforcement official in this country. I will vote no on Todd Blanche.

Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"

If Democrats retake the majority in the Senate and I become chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, one of my first acts will be to subpoena the bankers that helped Epstein carry out his crimes and help deliver real accountability.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

I’m reporting every lying ass Republican post dragging Fauci’s name on FB for misinformation.

WATCH: Marabel explains why Trump's Department of Education rule limiting the borrowing amounts for graduate nursing students will cut off qualified would-be nurses from pursuing these degrees. This ruling is going to impact our nursing force pipeline in so many dangerous ways.

My God, I wish we could get our shit together and stay focused because right now we’re dealing with an all new outbreak of COVID ignorance. We’re kicking each other while they’re running on an alternate timeline with no basis in reality.

So we were not, in fact, close to a deal? I am SHOCKED!

there is a strain of lefty discourse where you can’t come to any unflattering conclusions about the populace—those must be explained away by how they are being acted upon by capital—but I think you’ll understand things better if you understand capital can also exploit weaknesses it didn’t create

Today I discovered that a letter attributed to a man was actually written by Ann Bathurst, the 17th-century visionary woman I’m researching. 🤩 Archival work might be slow and painstaking but it’s totally thrilling to be going in search of lost voices from the past and finding them! 📚

Happy Market Manipulation Monday - brought to you by the most corrupt family in American history. www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

Why Wall Street Firms Are Paying $100,000 a Month for a Fast Track to Trump Posts

Traders who already monitor the president’s pronouncements with automated systems can pay for an ultrafast feed. At least five firms have signed up.

Remember the TPP? A Trade deal cooked up during the Obama Administration to put SOME rules in the Asian Trade Sector because at the time there were NO RULES. Fauxgressives went after Obama HARD because in they hated Free Trade so much that NO RULES on Trade was better than having SOME rules.1/4

So the National Night Out is coming right up and I’ve gotta say if I’m some of my neighbors, I’d probably have a real hard showing up when you advertise that police and fire are going to be there on the fliers. Especially police. Especially after the first few months of 2026 in the Twin Cities.

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol

Boy howdy, you can just feel the joy of Primaries in these BlueSky streets, can’t you?

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

They’ve added trillions in new spending. None of that has gone to Social Security or Medicaid. They will now say both are broke and must be cut. America needs new leadership.👇🏼

Americans’ Social Security benefits will have to be cut by roughly a quarter in six years due to depleted funds, according to a June report from the Social Security Board of Trustees. That’s months sooner than the group had estimated in 2025. https://to.pbs.org/4f39DL0

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

Please don’t share that autoplaying video of Max Miller insisting his wife is lying about his domestic violence. Share articles and links, but the autoplaying video is so triggering for survivors and it’s all over my feed right now.

I hope Cheryl Reeve managed to have a very productive talk with Cunningham.
