I used to be a Social Security trustee. How can we fix Social Security without cutting benefits or raising the retirement age? Scrap the cap. This is a plan that even some Republicans are starting to get on board with. Let me explain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfZuB7XSFys

JON STEWART: “They began covering their ass 3 weeks after 9/11… There was poison in the air, on the ground, on your pets/clothes… THE CITY KNEW. Rather than limit the damage, they covered it up… After 9/11, business will never be usual again.” (From @mamdanibulletin.bsky.social )
I’ve been hesitant to go this far - because I think party division will only hurt us in November - but seriously, fuck Fetterman.
They know they did it and they are responsible. Which is why they will continue to stonewall this. Good for the reporter to keep asking about it and not let this go, because they are counting on people just moving on.
The payment is an admission of guilt. This should be the biggest news on every platform.
How do you think it would have been covered if President Obama had to pay $5 million to a woman he sexually abused and defamed? Do you think the White House press would have asked him about it?
The only president ever impeached for voter fraud is planning a prime time address to warn the country about voter fraud. My head hurts.
This is what fighting fascism looks like.
E. Jean Carroll spent nearly a decade in court fighting one of the most powerful men in the world. She fought with tenacity and grace — and she won. She is one of my personal heroes. We all owe her a debt of gratitude.
The bottles change; the grift doesn’t. Immigration panic, tariff pain, election lies, crypto hype, billionaire tax cuts and industrial-strength grievance — each hawked as the miracle cure for the damage caused by the last one. The villain is always somebody else. The bill always lands on you.

Virtually every time someone is caught committing election fraud, it is a Republican. This is so well documented over the last 50 years. Hell, even the Heritage Foundations own records back this up. They KNOW, but they can’t rig it to stay in power by telling the TRUTH.
As Americans struggle with the cost of rent or mortgage payments, the president has a message for you: buzz off. He’s not interested. He made two billion off the presidency last year, and he couldn't care less about the hardships of ordinary people.
Every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness. This is yet another desperate attempt to undermine the midterms.
