AIPAC gives money to Republicans. Most likely AIPAC will support the GOP candidate, Mike Rogers for Michigan's US Senate seat with donations. This makes the organization anti-lgbtq, anti-women, and racist. AIPAC is prepared to sacrifice civil rights to support a foreign country.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donavan McKinney wins Democratic nomination for U.S. House in Michigan's 13th Congressional District.
Last night, we celebrated an unprecedented win for people-first politics in Michigan. But today, I want to make one thing very clear: THE JOB’S NOT FINISHED. The mission is to beat Tom Barrett and send an unbought, independent-minded representative of mid-Michigan to Congress.
Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.
Michigan and Missouri, I turn 40 today, and all I want for my birthday is for you to send these people to Washington. You wouldn’t disappoint me on my birthday, would you? 🥺

When I hear the word "affordability," all I hear is a cynical dodge to avoid saying "low wages." Phrased honestly, the solution to this problem is not so mysterious.

Sam Neill has passed away at 78. The family said in a statement, "Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterized his whole life." Sam Neill left an indelible mark on the horror genre with roles in Possession, Jurassic Park, In the Mouth of Madness & Event Horizon.
To Senator McMorrow, her family, her staff, and her supporters: thank you for the work you did for democracy. The same party insiders she had the courage to challenge have been bullying anyone who opposes their chosen candidate.
AOC has changed the trajectory of American politics and inspired a generation to believe that government really can work for working people. I am deeply honored to earn her endorsement for US Senate. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/u...

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

Centrist Dems hate when lefties run as Dems and win. But when they run third party, they're called "spoilers," and voters who vote third party are told to be "realistic and not throw their votes away." It's almost like they just hate lefties no matter the situation.

The guy who gave the Nazi salute just became the world's first trillionaire. Capitalist-to-the-bone liberals have been proven wrong about their system for all who have eyes to see. Come join the left!
🚨WE HAVE A NEW POLL IN #NY13 🚨 Justice Democrat @darializaforny.bsky.social is up FOUR POINTS against AIPAC-backed incumbent Adriano Espaillat. We have so much work left to do, but New Yorkers uptown are clearly ready for a new politics rooted in hope & life — not division & abandonment.
