The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.

I'd rather live next to a wind farm than a data center.

This is Joy. She had a spa day and couldn't contain herself

ICE IS KILLING PEOPLE IN THE SHADOWS. Prisciliano Trejo Ricano begged for a doctor. He became the 50th person to die in ICE custody. Anne Frank wasn’t shot; she died of neglect in a camp. ICE uses the same playbook: murder by medical neglect. ICE DETENTION CENTERS ARE DEATH CAMPS.

Vote tomorrow Humans of Michigan! Clean water is life. Vote for it. 🌊🌊

Don't believe Repukes!

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."

43-time Club Champion.

James Talarico: Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire — all while most Texans’ pay has remained stagnant for decades. He now owns 15 homes, while most Texans can't afford one. We can't afford Ken Paxton's corruption.

Don't let the bastards grind you down.

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Five months ago, we learned that ICE seized drawings and letters from children in the Dilley ICE concentration camp. I sued under the Freedom of Information Act. Today, I got responsive documents. www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.

Daily reminder that we don’t have a president. We have a mob boss masquerading as one.

How have we not started referring to him as Mitch McGONEll? Seems like a missed opportunity.

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.

So, Susan finds Pete's racism and misogyny deeply troubling, just not deeply troubling enough to do a damn thing about it, if recent history tells us anything. youtu.be/JwrRIjQShPM?...

Portland, OR folks, I was born in Roseburg, but we left when I was 2 yrs old and I never returned. Going to Portland, Salem and Roseburg for vacation soon. Love some ideas on what to do/where to visit. I know Crater Lake is getting some rehab 😥 but still want to see it. Other cheap ideas? Thanks!

Andy Cohen’s “Mazel of the Day” goes to Dr. Anthony Fauci. His praise for Dr. Fauci is exact and well deserved. His criticism of Republicans is compelling and worth hearing.

The former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers who went on strike for 3+ years, only to have the owners sell the paper and fire most of them, have started their own cooperative news org. Important reporting by @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social

Fed's Warsh says "we are on the job. We will deliver. We are focused like a laser on making sure we can do it," in terms of getting inflation down. But he seems absolutely steadfast in not even showing the slightest hint the normal remedy, rate hikes, will happen.
