It’s not a "cost of living crisis" - it’s a cost of billionaires crisis. They're bleeding us dry, degrading democracy and propping up the dictators and autocrats. #TaxTheRich

Elon Musk came to Donald Trump with the plan to throttle Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield satellite internet network, sources have told the Telegraph. The tech billionaire made the proposal during the US President’s row with Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries. 1/3
Democrats need to run hard against Elon Musk. They need to warn the public that the world's richest man is spending $276 million to attempt a hostile takeover of our government.
That blurred map on Trump's desk appears to be East Potomac Park — the golf course where the trees are being cut. Katie Zacharia may have just handed the federal judge evidence of exactly where the order came from.
“It looks dangerously like the construction of an internal spying agency...” "It’s also a weapon that the government will likely use against not only undocumented immigrants, but everyone else, too. That includes political enemies, intelligence experts said... prospect.org/2026/10/14/i...

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) spoke to me about Trump now waiving sanctions to allow Russia to sell diesel fuel to the US. This money will help Putin BOTH with his war versus Ukraine and help Russia in their support for Iran in the war against the USA!! youtu.be/BAJg38Xn1IE

Exactly #TaxTheRich ‼️
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 16h agoUltra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.
Last year, Trump & 98% of GOP members enacted the biggest Medicaid cuts in history, bigger even than Reagan’s. By 2034, 7.5M people will lose their Medicaid because of it. Clinics are closing & hospitals are shutting down, citing BBB as a reason. It’s unforgivable. Vote them all out.
He already told you he’d never accept losing. Would you bet your country on him discovering sportsmanship? I wouldn’t. Nine moves, three acts, about three weeks. www.jackhopkinsnow.com
Whoa The New York Times is out with a new expose about AI ads in the midterms and it is WILD. Please warn friends and family that this is happening! Read the full article at the link in first comment.
Pete Hegseth being called exactly what he is a puppet. The American people deserve better than this. Power should never come without accountability.
Absolutely 💯👇🏼 — accountability and prosecution ‼️
Jennifer Shin - WTAF@jennifershin.bsky.social · 23h agoThe days of 'going along to get along' are fucking over. We're done watching Dem's pretend we can just move forward after the Rapepublicans ignored the Constitution, committed crimes against humanity, and completely lost their collective minds. We want consequences. We want justice.

Steven Beschloss@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social · 20h ago“Donald Trump is a traitor. And he’s not simply a traitor in the loose sense of someone who commits an act of betrayal…Trump is a traitor in the very particular sense laid out in the U.S. Constitution…’adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.’” www.americaamerica.news/p/donald-tru...
Welp. Katie Zacharia is out as Press Secretary after only 5 days on the job. And while on one level, yes, it’s funny, it’s also another reminder that this government isn’t functioning for the American people in any way—and that’s deadly serious.
I’m watching Netflix’s “Instadoc: AI gone wild” and what’s missing in the conversation is that AI agents do not have a conscience — coders could put ethical instructions on them but without guilt and conscience, AI agents will always end up being a criminal. ‼️ #Terminator #HumanExtinction

Elon Musk has now spent nearly $400 million to BUY Congress in the 2026 election. This is BIGGEST donations ever in US history. No one should be able to have that much power. This is from Wash Post today on the GOP's top donors. Musk far and away the biggest!
Wow I can't believe the CDC is finally going to figure out what is behind the measles outbreak in Pennsylvania! Any guesses what they'll find?!
"If Democrats take the House, the dynamic would change quickly. The House Judiciary Committee could subpoena the Justice Department for Volume II. That would set Cannon’s injunction on a collision course with the oversight power of a coequal branch..."
