We see that our political system is broken, then keep behaving as if it worked. We need serious change, and it's time to take bigger swings.

NC Public Staff filed testimony today revealing what regulators found when they sampled Duke Energy Carolinas' capital spending: $50k+ in Carhartt, YETI, Leatherman & Amazon gear booked as capital expenses ... meaning ratepayers cover it AND Duke earns a return on it. 🧵

Don't laugh. We are all victims of the oligarchs and billionaires. It could happen here, too.

🔥 “Maybe Zohran isn’t the un-American one. Maybe the un-American one is you.” Chuck Goldensohn, a Jew in New York, calls out MAGA @LizzySavetsky for claiming to defend patriotic and Jewish ideals while actually betraying them.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

The systemic exploitation of women revealed here is a deep sickness. To the women in my life: I see you and I have your back. It is the responsibility of men to end this. We must raise the next generation to fight this. www.cnn.com/interactive/...

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

Money will be made by Iran, since your deal just allowed them to charge $2 million per ship to pass through—a fee that never existed prior to the war.

The gas crisis makes me really glad I live in NYC and not anywhere else in car dependent America. Hopefully everyone can learn from our example

This morning I had the great pleasure of cracking open Heather Leah's new book. She explores the subject with verve and sensitivity. Her focus on *community* is just what we need today. THANK YOU, HEATHER! WELL DONE! . Link in first comment!

The Working Families Party launched a new website, PrimaryFetterman.com, that features pages dedicated to opposition research on him, volunteer recruitment and even a link to request donation refunds from his campaign — which the party said it will promote via digital ads.

Primary John Fetterman

We supported John Fetterman in 2022. Since then, he's sold us out. It's time to replace him and elect real leadership.

GOOD: "Progressive effort to primary Sen. John Fetterman ramps up: The Working Families Party launched a website where, among other efforts, voters can request refunds from Fetterman’s campaign."

TFG.

this is pathetic to a degree i didn't realize was possible

Amazing how that stuff of our youth shapes us, and yet we grow into mature, complex humans, @jamellebouie.net I shocked a colleague when I told him I used to chill with the skaters & punks in school. Remain In Light was maybe my most impactful record. Joy Division & Midnight Oil also hit.

Dix Park Trolls! What a delightful experience! Six or seven thumbs up! Be sure to search for the "Thomas Dambo" map of Raleigh Trolls. (Link in first comment.)

I loved this song, @oliveklug.bsky.social . I found it on my FYP on TikTok, and shared it with my kid who is >40 years younger than my GenX self. He loved it too. So thank you!

A four day trial from a guy throwing a sandwich at an ICE thug!? How is this not abuse of judicial process?!

We have reached a verdict: Not guilty.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

I hate to say this, but the politics of the murderer/arsonist make no difference to Trump. The authoritarian ruler gains support with ANY kind of chaos and violence. It is ALL justification for further controls, more policing, and even military intervention. www.cnn.com/2025/09/29/u...

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

Hear that?? That's the giant sucking sound of money leaving USA as Trump bludgeons our domestic wind industry, and China surges forward into a dominant position. A 17 MW wind turbine is astonishing. www.livescience.com/technology/e...

China builds record-breaking floating wind turbine — it could change the face of renewable energy

Floating offshore wind turbines open a whole new playing field for energy companies, which have so far had to stick to shallow waters.
