🔥🔥🔥TOO HOT FOR TEXAS🔥🔥🔥

Christopher Jones@ccjones.bsky.social · 52m ago

Trump’s OSHA is rolling back rules that mandate rest breaks and access to water and shade to protect workers from extreme heat on the job. Remember: Trump doesn’t care about workers. He never has and never will.

How Trump’s Agenda Could Kill You

After an abysmal jobs report, Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.And Trump’s Labor Department just a

Mike Rogers wants us divided. But there is so much more that unites us than sets us apart. The power is ours. This land was made for you and me.

Say what you will, but as Centrist as Klobuchar is, she knows what Minnesota's rural areas need. I'm not sure how she'll govern, but I'd be surprised if she doesn't win by at least 20 points over any joker in the GOP.

Klobuchar: "I'm gonna live what I'm saying, and that means making sure that small towns can develop, that we keep our rural hospitals strong, and that's not gonna happen when my opponents -- all 3 of them -- have embraced Donald Trump's big beautiful bill that cut Medicaid!"

The prep isn't as bad as it used to be -- pills, not the drink -- and you'll have one, uh, busy evening and then you go in and get the greatest nap of your life and then eat a glorious meal. Get yourself checked out.

Well, I am of colonoscopy age now and I got my first-ever one yesterday. The prep wasn't fun but not as awful as I'd imagined. My appt was at 6am on Monday, I was home just after 7am. There's no recovery except catching up on the sleep you missed. So, if you need a nudge to get yours, this is it!

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

this name shit would be the perfect time for obama and/or mamdani to do a hit for el-sayed. "we've heard a lot of people attacking dr el-sayed over his name. well, for eight years they called me PRESIDENT hussein obama. and i'm MAYOR mamdani. so maybe its time for SENATOR el-sayed."

Just racism right out the gate!

No country that arrested librarians and booksellers was on the right side of history. But that's what's happening in Arkansas. And this is where your whole country is headed with H.R 7661 and S 4925. Via @everylibrary.bsky.social action.everylibrary.org/arkansasact372

Arresting Librarians AND Booksellers in the United States

History has shown that arresting librarians and booksellers has never led to greater freedom or liberty.

This is nonsense. Missouri voters have vetoed a congressional map before, and the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld voter-led initiatives for congressional redistricting. Hoskins lacks the authority to do this, and he has delayed signature verification for several months to try to run out the clock

Nathaniel Rakich@baseballot.bsky.social · 21h ago

Per this article, "Hoskins asserted Tuesday that the petition is unconstitutional because congressional redistricting plans cannot be subject to voter referendums." apnews.com/article/redi...

Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.

I voted against the creation of ICE, and I was the first Senator to call for ICE to be abolished. What we actually need in this country is a pathway to citizenship, not punishment for the pursuit of the American Dream.

Stolen valor. The American Legion, VFW, DAV, IAVA, etc., shouldn't tolerate it and they should demand its removal.

amazing how so few of the gazillion think pieces criticizing women for not dating straight men fail to mention the whole “many of them literally don’t wash their asses” thing:

Missouri Secretary of State Comes Up With Reason to Not Certify Challenge to New Republican Gerrymander talkingpointsmemo.com/news/missour...

This is a wildly prescient story about Chicago's proto-RFK Jr., in charge of public health during the Spanish Flu. He thought beer killed malaria and that bathing could kill you. He had a feud with an actual TB doctor, who insisted bathing is good. He bullied the TB doctor until he killed himself.

AP calls a DEFEAT for Kansas Amendment 1, which would have replaced the current merit-based selection of state Supreme Court justices with partisan statewide elections. GOP wanted this change to try to overturn a ruling protecting abortion rights, but voters emphatically said no.

reporting live from michigan today and just wanted to say: thank you to all our election workers. 💙 *especially* with Trump consistently questioning the integrity of their work — even sending DOJ monitors here.

Good. Leave them alone. Ban the practice. Pass my OCTOPUS Act.

Here are two new numbers every American should know: $4 billion — how much Trump and his family have profited off the presidency. $3,500 — how much rising prices cost the average family since he took office. Corruption, plain and simple.

Republicans have fully abdicated their congressional duty in service of the president's ego. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

GOP Candidate Brandon Herrera referred to construction and cutting grass as “bullshit jobs” when talking about learning to run a business.

Republicans seem genuinely shocked when they repeat the same lies over and over again yet fail to convince the rest of us that what we saw with our own eyes didn't happen.

Remember the Obama-era freakout over Jade Helm, and how the fantasies fueling that GOP panic turned out to prefigure this year’s occupation of Minneapolis? This is the same dynamic. They don’t feel bad about atrocities, as long as they solely experience them as perpetrators.
