Sherrod Brown is running for the middle class! He envisions a country where wages are livable, healthcare is not for the wealthy, groceries do not require a loan and people are valued over profit! Help Ohio elect Sherrod Brown! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance #RisingBlue
Rent isn’t high by accident, it’s high because 9 landlords colluded with an algorithm called RealPage to fix prices behind your back. Kris Mayes sued every single one of them. This is what a real fighter looks like, and it’s why she deserves your vote, AZ! #BlueWaveIn90Days
More than half of Americans have cut out eating out just to afford necessities. That’s not belt tightening, that’s an entire country getting sucked dry while corrupt Republicans & their billionaires pretend everythings fine. We don’t fix it by staying quiet. #BlueWaveIn90Days
Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2h ago😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:
Nothing can constrain Trump? Warren: No. Republicans have the majority. They could constrain Trump on war, slimy tax deals, on his corruption. The list is long. But to do that, they would actually have to grow a spine. And so far, what we have around here is a bunch of gelatinous blobs. PabloReports
I’m so sick of this shit! Trump has no clue. You can’t fix something you don’t even realize is broken. And Republicans are still carrying Trump’s water. #BlueWaveIn90Days
Trump’s OSHA is rolling back rules that mandate rest breaks and access to water and shade to protect workers from extreme heat on the job. Remember: Trump doesn’t care about workers. He never has and never will.
How Trump’s Agenda Could Kill You
After an abysmal jobs report, Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.And Trump’s Labor Department just a

Jenifer Lewis said it best: 35.9 million people sat out 2024, and we don’t let that shit happen again. Not this time. Not with 90 days on the clock and everything on the line. Speak out, knock louder, make it impossible to ignore. It’s on all of us to flip it all blue. #BlueWaveIn90Days
“The Reflecting Pool mess is different from other Trump obsessions because it reveals just how immune to evidence and logic his beliefs have become, even when a trusted lieutenant wheels an entire box of supporting evidence into the Oval Office.”
The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · 5h agoTrump’s outburst over the Reflecting Pool is a sign of dangerous dysfunction in the Oval Office, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/OMivBxpl
Josh Turek wants something better for Iowans — he’s the Dem running to flip the Senate. Just an amazing human being! He wants to lower costs, raise wages, restore Roe,protect workers, SS & Medicare, reproductive healthcare and will fight for farmers and education. More of this 🙏🏼 #BlueWaveIn90Days
Several Women’s March activists were arrested inside the U.S. Capitol after holding a vigil honoring people they say died following encounters with ICE. Their message was clear: “Abolish ICE.” #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance
“Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” Happy Birthday, BARACK OBAMA #repost #barackobama #Barack #keithhenrybrown #iamtheleopard
Happy Birthday President Barack Obama! ❤️❤️❤️ I miss an America that felt steady during your Presidency. A White House where words mattered, where leadership carried dignity instead of a clown show. Politics had conflict, but also boundaries—civility wasn’t weakness, and intelligence wasn’t mocked.
Happy Birthday to my favorite President #BarackObama 65 Years Young Today (8/4) Artist: Edwin van den Dikkenberg
Jeanine Pirro should take note but instead, she will continue to be Trump’s dog until he fires her. #Pinks
𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚🚨 51st(actually the 52nd+) person dies because of #ICELawlessness, torture & neglect this year. On 8/1, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, just 41, died in ICE detention after being brutalized & denied medication by Trump's immigration thugs. It's being done in our name with our taxpayer dollars.
WHY WOULD ANY USA CITIZEN BE EXEMPT FROM A TAX AUDIT??? Especially The President? He is not a KING ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

"More needs to be made of this," a senior CBS News staffer tells me about the 60 Minutes story that Sharyn Alfonsi was working on about Epstein and banks that appears to have been scuttled after her firing. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
David Ellison may think we are stupid, but we know who he is. We know what he has done to CBS. We know what he wants to do to CNN. Support independent media.
NEW REPORT: Senator Wyden says @MarshaBlackburn “declined to support Wyden’s effort to subpoena Epstein bank records” + “refused to cooperate with his investigation into financing of Epstein’s sex trafficking”— as she claimed to care & blamed Dems🤔 www.finance.senate.gov/ranking-memb...
Republican Senators are voting to confirm Trump’s lawyer to be AG when it just came out that Capital One shut down Trump’s accounts under suspicion of money laundering and Trump wants exemption from being investigated for tax fraud. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS.

Just another casual reminder that you’re being laughed at by corporates because a) governments facilitate them and b) we don’t push back. Cost of living crisis, for you not for them.
