Half of the $62 million spent by outside groups in Michigan spent to support Stevens came from AIPAC.
This is who the Repub led Senate wants to confirm as the US AG in the next couple days. It’s not about following laws—it’s about controlling women and girls with no regard to health outcomes. WE ARE NOT OUTRAGED ENOUGH! We need to flip 4 Senate seats. Please help get out the VOTE in NOV!
#RepublicanMedicareCuts Now is a good time to share this with your Republican and Independent friends and neighbors Tell them Only Democrats are fighting for us Thank you
The lack of sense in these Republicans is astonishing.
James E. Clyburn@repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 2d agoUnbelievable. Republicans in the Senate are set to confirm Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal lawyer, to be Attorney General even after he told them the deal the DOJ struck giving Trump and his businesses broad immunity from crimes still stands.
“The fight isn’t over yet.” Jeffrey Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky says Todd Blanche’s confirmation effort is “depressing,” but she’s not giving up. Don’t let the Epstein files disappear from the conversation. Survivors deserve justice. ⚖️ #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance
Germans also speculated about the cognitive state of an aging, shameless, satanically persuasive liar who never stopped doubling down on his raging hate and egomania until he evaded accountability by killing himself. But they didn't have 90 years of evidence showing how he gained and used power.
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · yesterdayAnd narcissistic personality disorder, and, at this stage, psychosis.
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
If confirmed, Blanche plans on permanently getting rid of access to abortion. So besides being corrupt AF,he protects pedophiles and wants women to suffer. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/ADdVNTAD7TS2...

“We don’t have complete victory yet, but we will have victory, and victory will be soon, and it will be permanent,” Blanche said.

Digital Warrior - Combat Disinfo@digitalwarrior.bsky.social · yesterday1/ The Pentagon under Fox News host Hegseth got caught running an AI fake news site & they can't even fake it right. Garbled headlines.A White House missing columns. Image files literally named after the AI tool that made them. Your tax dollars built this #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Republicans wrote the Big Ugly Bill to funnel cash to billionaires — and they used your grandmother's Medicare as the piggy bank. Half a trillion in cuts start January 1. Vote them all out. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these 2 new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."
Nothing says “protecting seniors” quite like #RepublicanMedicareCuts. Affordable meds? Nah. Higher premiums and mystery “efficiency” adjustments? Peak compassion. Tax cuts for the top 1%? Priceless.
A simple question: Does the Justice Department work for the American people? Or does it serve Donald Trump? The record of Todd Blanche answers it for them. #BlockBlanche #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
These are insane numbers. If El-Sayed wins after being outspent by this much, wow, watch out!
LA Times: Trump finds a new way to screw Medicare members — hiking their drug bills. Mehmet Oz is canceling the Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration, potentially doubling monthly drug costs for 11 million seniors. I'm now one of those seniors! 😠 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Bob Geiger@bobgeiger.bsky.social · yesterdaySenator Sheldon Whitehouse admonishes Republican colleagues that voting for Todd Blanche as Attorney General means the Trump-Epstein file coverup will continue. Oh... they know.

Election fraud by non-citizens is not a real problem. Period. And yet, how much time, money and grief will be spent in the months ahead combatting the incessant lies to deny the voters’ will?
James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."
