Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

A delicious creamy soup made with fresh fish that is fighting really hard to stop an international right wing conspiracy to install a fascist dictatorship in the U.S.A.
The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.

It’s been 166 days since SCOTUS struck down Trump’s illegal tariff taxes & big corporations are getting their refunds. $2.2 BILLION for Apple, $600 MILLION for Amazon, $300 million for Nike. When are American families going to see the $1,700 they're owed? Return the money, NOW.
Corporate America got billions of dollars in tariff refunds. Where’s your cut? | CNN Business
Apple got an estimated $2.2 billion tariff refund last quarter. Amazon got $600 million. Nike got $300 million. But American consumers who paid higher prices as President Donald Trump’s tariffs filter...

Record high voter turnout by registered Democrats is a sign of strength and unity. Now let’s go out and vote for the winners, even if they weren’t our first choice. That’s the deal, right? And… BTW… low turnout by republicans. www.cnn.com/2026/07/03/p...
CNN analysis: Turnout in this year’s primary elections clearly favors Democrats so far | CNN Politics
This year’s primary turnout continues a trend that’s been building since Donald Trump’s return to the White House – Democrats are more motivated than Republicans to vote.

@strea3m.bsky.social · 12h agoMSM lemmings: vigorous political debates appealing to voters is actually how it's supposed to work, NOT the blind fearful obedience to a corrupt criminal, like you've chosen. "When voters speak, their parties and political commentators should listen."🎯🎯
“Who knows…?” Who knows how many Stevens supporters are actually psychopathic garden gnomes? Who knows if there is an invisible goblin living in my closet? Who knows???

Two things about this post: 1. The account is now totally dedicated to pro-Israel messaging but panders intensely to a black female audience. 2. The comment is factually correct. It would be illegal for Israel to try to influence U.S. elections, so AIPAC money must come from U.S. citizens.
R. Souissi@rsouissivibes.bsky.social · 12h agoAlso. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is not foreign-funded. Its funding comes entirely from private U.S. citizens and domestic donors, overwhelmingly American Jews. Stop saying it's foreign-funded. Are y'all discrediting the citizenship of American Jews?
as President, i will declare all conflicts merely an extension of World War Two, allowing me to shift any blame for dead servicemen and women to FDR and sail cleanly to re-election
The Intercept@theintercept.com · yesterdayThe Pentagon is using a new method of tallying the number of U.S. soldiers killed and wounded in the Iran war that a U.S. government official said was “designed to obscure the count.”
So now the next step is to find out what Capital One's months-long anti-money laundering review by professionals with decades of law enforcement experience discovered about Trump's 300+ accounts...
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · yesterdayPhang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
I would tag her but Shannon (who blocks) Watts has become intolerant of different views. Watts is making the claim that AES can’t get black or working class voters while ignoring the $60M of negative ads placed against AES as if they had no effect. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.
The amount of pro-Israel content on Bluesky right now is REALLY high. It’s strange considering how low support is for Israel among democrats. This is very suspicious. And the attacks on DSA candidates or any candidate who doesn’t support Israel are also increasing each day. That’s strange…
They’re all on something. This was from 2019. The WH infirmary is handing out fentanyl!

One of the most fascinating facts about the ocean, is that there are whales alive today who were born before Moby Dick was written. Some of the bowhead whales in the icy waters off of Alaska today are over 200 years old. Original post
A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
Probably would've been nice to know this before the 2024 election, but sure
@GottaLaff@gottalaff.bsky.social · 2d agoABC has picked it up now. "Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump's bank accounts in 2021 'for anti-money laundering reasons'"
Just a reminder: Trump paid RFKJr for his endorsement during the 2024 election. A demonstration of those sort of integrity that permeates this man. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

The Trump campaign disbursed $100,000 to a California law firm that lists Kennedy as one of its attorneys three weeks after he bowed out of the race and backed Trump.

Anti-ICE advocates rallied outside the DHS office near Cincinnati after Haitians losing TPS were summoned for mandatory check-ins. Protesters report officials are fitting people with ankle monitors and issuing new court dates. Community members stand united against these aggressive tactics!
The people who spent years defending, promoting & amplifying Trump are now publicly turning on him. You don’t have to take the word of his critics anymore. Listen to the people who helped build the extremist, cult-like MAGA movement. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance #DefendersOfDemocracy #FactsMatter
Abdul el-Sayed: "If you're taking money from the people who are making problems harder - jacking up your utility rates, drug prices, insurance premiums, and sending your money to a foreign government - it's hard to make a real argument that you'll make life more livable."
