The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.

An armed guard shot a woman over an argument outside the Aurora ICE facility. When corporate prison guards open fire on citizens for speaking out, we are in a police state. This violent act shows what happens when you embolden an unhinged system. coloradonewsline.com/briefs/color...

Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.

The sheer injustice in Houston is sickening. Lorenzo was just going to work to support his family when his life was stolen by ICE. Seeing his father on his knees, consumed by raw, agonizing grief, is a heartbreaking reminder of the human cost of systemic violence. He deserves justice.

I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!

Remember when egg prices were breaking everyone’s backs? Turns out the prices were fixed. This punishment isn’t fitting the crime. The difference between $1.2 billion in profits and a $3.3 million fine for lying to consumers is insane. The math isn’t mathing.

Happy 250 to the USA where celebrations are being canceled because of a climate change-driven heat wave and where both political parties ignore the fact that the price of continuing to subsidize fossil fuels now exceeds the price of a 100% transition to renewable energy. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8GU7MhT/

Moving the world to clean, renewable energy costs less than world fossil-fuel subsidies Worldwide subsidies to the fossil-fuel industry exceed the annual cost of transitioning the world to 100% clean,...

In my dream I just woke up from, I was an elected leader and I had decided that in order to save our country, I was increasing tax rates on the .01% and closing loopholes. This speech was to them:

You are theives. You would not be rich without your laborers. You would not be rich without subsidies paid for by your laborers. You would not be rich without stealing the wages from your laborers. 

You view the American people as cattle and you harvest us for our data, for our labor, for your selfish financial gain. Milking the American people for every nickel and dime you can squeeze out of us. 

Just like any reputable farmer would, you have to take care of your cattle. You have provide healthcare for them, you have to provide shelter for them. You have to provide food for them, since they provide a service to you. It's the right thing to do since you wouldn't be where you are without them. You wouldn't be rich without the American people. 

But for far too long, you've neglected your duties, and it's become obvious that if we are waiting for greedy billionaires to do the right, honorable thing for the American people, it will never happen.

It is now why I have decided to close tax loopholes, and save America by taxing the ultra rich to feed, provide Healthcare and housing to these abused citizens that you all have neglected and abused for far to long for your own selfish gains.

Been reading On Courage. It should be required reading for Dems: “This basic arithmetic problem means sometimes living with contradictions, even embracing them.” Politics isn’t about finding people who agree w/you on everything. It’s finding enough people to push the jeep out of the mud together.

I want to know what dirt the tangerine tyrant has on the members of the GOP. It must be DAMNNING if they refuse to remove him from office. I demand an investigation into each and every GOP member that has refused to hold the psycho in office accountable. What skeletons are in THEIR closets?!
