NO DMs. Lifelong Democrat. Trump belongs in prison. No matter what happens the next 2 years, we can have love and community. “In a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.” Maya Angelou
El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
🚨 HAPPENING NOW 🚨 Women's Marchers have been arrested in the Capitol for standing vigil for the people killed by ICE. #AbolishICE llustrations by @channeldraw
The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful
BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
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.
Republicans have to believe that either Max Miller is lying and despicable or Bernie Moreno is lying and despicable. It’s a binary choice based on what they both said today. Both cannot be telling the truth. The senator is making false accusations or the congressman is an abuser.
When your party leader is a president with historically low approval ratings, who has raised prices through tariffs and wars, uses disaster relief and science grants to punish states that didn’t vote for him, and has agents shooting people in the streets, this is what you do.
The middle class didn't create the national debt, but the GOP wants them to pay for it. Cutting Social Security and Medicare while protecting billionaire tax loopholes is a non-starter. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...
As the 2026 Midterms Approach, Economy Is Front and Center
Americans are now almost evenly split over which party they most agree with on economic policies: 37% say the Democrats, while 36% say the GOP.

The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.
Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.
Is Mike Johnson going to throw some more Bible verses at us today while continuing to back Max Miller?
Polymarket has millions of dollars in wildfire-related bets & more than $1M in beds were placed on the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires! DESPICABLE! THE PREDICTION MARKET PROMOTES THE OBSTRUCTION FIREFIGHTERS OR FOLKS TO GO OUT AND COMMIT ARSON! It's absolutely nuts!

This is exactly the support Americans & the United States desperately need from our brothers & sisters in Europe! HONESTY & TRANSPARENCY! RELEASE the EPSTEIN FILES! Europe is not constrained by jury-rigged, gerrymandered GOP/Maga fascist lying. HELP 🇺🇲 save democracy!🫡🇺🇲📜⚖️🙏🏼🥰 time.com?utm_source=b...

ElizabethC 💙🐸@econklin44.bsky.social · 22h agoWe can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
Abdul El Sayed talkin bout being outspent 11:1 but lookin like his supporters got a win regardless. It’s a nice twist on “get the money out of politics” to instead be like “we can defeat the money”
Not a peep about this from RFK Jr. But vaccines!
Diane@dianesf.bsky.social · 7h agoIn the 1950s we had 700 different chemicals in our food Today we have over 10,000 in our food In Europe, they only have 700 still today. Kelloggs makes the safer Canadian version and the American version. Two different options, same manufacturer. Americans have been sold out sadly.
Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
I’d love to see an accounting of everything Trump is spending on vanity projects, w/related talking points for speeches, town halls, media, etc. We must let all voters know exactly what Trump is spending to glorify himself instead of making American lives better. Let’s make good trouble.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · yesterdayMacFarlane: We are near the new gold-plated statues the Trump administration unveiled near Memorial Circle, Memorial Bridge, and the Lincoln Memorial. It’s really, really gold.…
We see that our political system is broken, then keep behaving as if it worked. We need serious change, and it's time to take bigger swings.
A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.
Anything Trump wants, he gets. Everything Trump touches dies. Is there no way to stop him? I don’t understand why he can’t be stopped. There has to be a way. We’re just not aware of the possibilities because no president has dared govern as an authoritarian. There has to be a way.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 20h agoNEWS: Trump just bragged about gutting endangered species protections so oil drilling, logging, development, and even military training can expand with fewer restrictions.
