Good Morning Michigan!

This is the story of three candidates fighting against the rich and powerful for a brighter future.

Is the DSA insurgency still just NYC?

Two more GOP amendments go down to crushing defeats, both in MO. #4 would have made future ballot initiatives impossible to pass by requiring winning a majority statewide *and* in each congressional district. #5 would have eliminated the state income tax.

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.

when all of this is said and done and we’re (hopefully) rebuilding from the current nightmare, i rly do hope every person who worked to cover up the biggest pedophilia sex trafficking scandal in history has to explain why they did it every time they’re in public for the rest of their sad lives

Banks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS

michigan primary finally ending today

Lmao imagine beating the fuck out of your spouse and posting a video explaining how she cooked you dinner… Are straight white men ok?

DoorDash claims to support DC’s autonomy… while actively undermining it. If you’ve already deleted your account and the app from your phone, then I hope you’ll join Free DC on August 7 and call on DoorDash to withdraw support from H.R. 9720. Oppose federal attacks on the people of DC.

how can you use x pt: infinity but ppl are sending me accounts using AI to make ariana grande look MUCH skinnier and gaunt and i just wanna say using the child undresser site’s AI to spread misinfo to torment one woman literally leaving the public eye is pure evil and i hope you rot in hell ◡̈

i’m never gonna be able to fire a cruise missile yet the question of using my tax dollars for them has never been up for debate

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Air Canada is kinda giving low budget carrier. Is it??

My new job that starts tomorrow is providing me with a work phone which means I AM FREE OF OUTLOOK AND TEAMS NOTIFICATIONS (on my personal phone!!!)

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

Donate to the candidates on the front lines of the fight against MAGA gerrymandering

These are anti-MAGA state candidates in *extremely* close races

Not the most important thing here, but why don't NC, SC, GA, FL count as "the coasts." All four states are on the coast. TX, LA, MS, AL are coastal states too, but the southeast states are on a main ocean coast. Looks like just another way to say red/rural = real & good; blue/urban = fake & bad.

Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · 4d ago

I really hate Elissa Slotkin's patronizing "my theory of the case is that what works in the middle of the country will work on the coasts, but not the other way around" shit. It's one of her canned lines that she uses in her eventual attempt to run for president.

For years y’all have scrutinized her body at every turn. Then, y’all threw an ED on her. It is INSANE to throw an ED on someone you don’t know. Everyone’s bodies are different. People’s experiences aren’t the same. She asked everyone to stop talking about her body and y’all ain’t listen.

The discourse about Ariana Grande’s body that has gone on for FOUR years (honestly over a decade if we want to tell the truth!) is an indicator of how WARPED society is. WE, YOU, do not know her. We are not her family. We are not her doctor. We don’t know anything about her personal life.

This shit gets better and better with each listen 😩

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….

I didn’t know who Alex Bereson was before a few days ago. I assumed he was an entitled 20-something. This man is 53 whole years old and he’s whining about his rich mom paying a tiny tax lmaooooo

Cooper Lund@cooperlund.online · 4d ago

Ohhhhhh this explains Alex Berenson’s whole deal

Someone please give me two senators and a representative to constantly call!!! 😤

whatever you think of harris's chances of regaining the nomination man this is a deeply welcome early stake to see claimed in the 2028 primary positioning

a republican congressman allegedly broke his two-year-old daughter's collarbone and he somehow hasn't been run out of congress. there really is no bridge too far for these ghouls.

Was this gm or gn? Either way

Waking up and thinking about my next 24 hours:
