Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

When John Cornyn says there’s no way to reign in the president, he’s telling me that Trump holds compromising material over GOP senators.
German courts have decided it is not against the law to call Israel a Nazi state. I want you to take a minute and consider to what degree you need to get German courts to agree to that, in a country where the Nazi salute gets you arrested. Israel is a Nazi state. It is committing genocide.
Anyone else think Trump may be intentionally greatly reducing the country’s munitions in order to intentionally weaken us?
I’ve backed off on my re-posting of Robert Reich because I had been doing it with greater frequency than my own posts. But this one needs to be widespread.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · last wk.Beyond its famous preamble, the Declaration of Independence listed out a set of grievances against King George III of England. Some of them sound quite familiar…
One unleashes the *hounds* of Hell, not the gates of Hell, you illiterate moron.
Once we get proof of death for Mitch can we all put whatever energies we have toward that old adage, “Deaths happen in threes”?
GET A GRIP Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium. No cobalt. No rare-earth metals. Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide. The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems.
Let’s just say it: Robert Reich is one of the best plain-spoken advocates for the working and lower classes today, and he backs it up whenever challenged. What a gift to us.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · last mo.Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."
Just a thought: If someone is being passive aggressive with you, rather than just criticize them for it, it might be helpful to look at what your own behavior was that caused them to do it in the first place.
A note about inflation “coming down.” It very rarely does. In my 70+ years I’ve seen plenty of rising prices linked with inflation data. But I’ve never seen prices return to pre-inflation levels. Companies determine that people can afford those high prices. Few will lower them to what they were.
What no one mentions about Trump’s repeated cognitive tests: Trump says again and again, proudly, that he “aced” the test each time. Here’s the thing. Trump lies. Any claim that comes out of his mouth about himself is exaggerated. It’s reasonable to believe that he keeps flunking the exams.
I 100% guarantee Trump will leave before the game is over, no doubt causing a disruption .
Am I the only one wondering if Trump’s cave-in on the thug fund stills leaves his IRS “get out of jail free” provision intact?
Can we retire this already? It is so played and increasingly unoriginal with every post.
Anyone else thinking that Trump “doesn’t care about the midterms” because he has a plan to make sure they don’t occur?
A small point: I like presidents who can consistently stand up straight and don’t slouch like Igor.
Of course Trump wants to celebrate and now pay his Jan 6 terrorists who attacked Capitol to help him. It's exactly what Hitler did when he became Chancellor of Germany for those who waged his attempted coup in 1923. Trump is not original. Nazis before him did the exact same thing.
If and/or when Vance takes over for Trump there will be (only) one plus: The hate, lies and misdirection will be delivered a lot more coherently and with less rambling.
This precedent could also be applied to government officials who blow people up in boats without a declared war, due process, evidence, or trial.
They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.
Let's start with having a conversation about our collective values again. Values like kindness, honesty, integrity, and compassion. Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. said justice is what love looks like in public. To have a just society, we must have one rooted in values that bind us together.
“Alexa, show us an interview you couldn’t pay us any amount of money to watch”
So according to the 6 white supremacists on the Supreme Court, blue states can now draw up entirely blue Congressional maps and erase all red districts without hesitation. Fascist republicans want to start this fight and Democrats need to buck the fuck up and finish it.
