SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏

Amazing that this guy Mike Rogers could have been nominated by the GOP. Oh, check that

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

With primaries behind us, it's now time for Dems to focus on winning in Nov. That'll involve something hard: establishment Dems will need to ask what they can learn from progressives, progressives will have to focus on what they can learn from centrists & both'll have to find ways to work together.

This guy wants to mend fences with fellow Dems. His policies are great. Let’s please send him $$$$. And get him elected. abdulforsenate.com/about/

Meet Abdul

Meet Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a candidate for Senate who believes life in America shouldn’t be this hard. He'll build a government that works.

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

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.

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

The shithead fucked up again! Trump's half-completed helipad is being torn out because the incompetent contractors (no doubt donors of his) built it on a slope. There's going to be nothing left of the White House and National Mall except rubble by the time we tear this idiot out of power.

Last week, construction workers had begun to decorate the new South Lawn helipad with a giant presidential seal. By Tuesday, the design was gone.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social We Californians should NOT be made to pay our taxes if our federal government is going to withhold funds from us because we are a Democratic state. This is untenable.

GOP moles in the Democratic party. Senator Fetterman is a mole in the Senate.

13 Democrats that voted with Republicans to pass the Save Act.

“To make our settlement with the Gambino Crime Family more equitable, we have limited its immunity from consequences for committing crimes to only the family members most likely to murder.”

the obsession with trans women in sports is, apart from the abject bigotry, a symptom of how we take amateur sports participation way too seriously in this country.

Every vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general is a vote to continue the coverup of the Epstein Files.

This president is so corrupt that money laundering doesn't even rank on the long list of his alleged crimes. It's just expected. So much for "high crimes and misdemeanors." Post Anything Here: interactink.vercel.app

Exposing more BS from Trump and Blanche. All of both “settlements” (including the one with the IRS) must be entirely null and void. Then Blanche should be rejected by the Senate and disbarred because of the entire fraudulent mess.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 3d ago

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

WATCH — @redstateupdate.bsky.social (Murfreesboro): “Millions of people have already lost their insurance. And when this ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ kicks in after the midterms? Good Lord… How are they gonna say they don’t have enough money for Medicare when they’re painting statues gold?” 🤷🏼

"Reminder, the only time Trump played a golf tournament where he couldn't cheat, the American Century celebrity tournament in 2006, he shot 52 over par in 3 rounds and finished in 62nd place out of 80 celebrities," a golfer noted.

By tomorrow it will be out of the news cycle and forgotten. A pedophile, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, money launderer is president of the United States….
