61 years after the Voting Rights Act became law, Texans are still fighting to be counted at the ballot box. Yesterday, the voice of the people was so loud that the Tarrant County Commissioners Court had no choice but to table their attempt to cut polling locations before the midterm election.
Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.
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.
NEW from me: I think this is the perfect time to use Rachel Maddow’s oft-repeated phrase - ‘watch what they do- not what they say.’ Ignore Ellison's PR pitch, but look at what's happening at CBS News including directing reporters to add “facts” that did not exist. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...
David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN
We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

Honestly is anyone surprised? I'm not. This is what you get when you elect a criminal who wants to be king to be President. Project 2025 told us exactly what was going to happen. And here we are.
The president of the United States is an enemy to the United States.
Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
And your banker, the legislator who wants to raise your taxes but give tax breaks to rich people, your grocery store owner, the car dealer, your utility company CEO, et al.
Your boss and your landlord have voted.
Hannah Krieg@hannahkrieg.bsky.social · 2d agoNEW: Young people are on the ballot this election, but can we please get young people to the ballot BOX? So far, King County voters 65+ account for 4 times as many ballots as people under 35. You have until 8pm Tuesday to close that gap!
Hey Seattle don’t forget to vote by tomorrow evening, the low turnout for August elections means your vote is going to be extra potent, like you’ve been gooning for democracy

Come on Texans elect Talarico, Hinojosa, and Goodwin! Elect Texans that care about Texas and Texans
Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social · 3d agoJames 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."
Our rapist in chief likes to talk shit about blue cities (I assume so people in red states don’t demand more) Los Angeles sure is a real hellhole
Vote tomorrow Humans of Michigan! Clean water is life. Vote for it. 🌊🌊
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
Trump’s justice department can grant him immunity from audits but I see no reasons why a subsequent administration can’t say: that was patently illegal, toss it out, and crawl all the way up his ass.
NEW: Two government watchdog groups have demanded an investigation into whether FCC officials violated ethics requirements by accepting luxury gala tickets from Paramount as it sought federal approval for its $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros.

Goddammit YES. This should be the lead story, alongside the Epstein files, on every newscast and for months. @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social
r/protectUSelections@protectuselections.bsky.social · 2d agoWe have a criminal president.
Our neighbors are being kidnapped from our streets. We have seen increased ICE activity across Seattle neighborhoods over this past week. ICE must be held accountable for their cruel and illegal actions. We know that fear and chaos is their goal. We counter that with knowledge and community.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.gov · 6d agoDHS must immediately return Eduardo Aguirre home to Washington state. These cruel tactics to speed up deportations and remove due process must stop. Disband ICE.
