The confirmation of Todd Blanche is a devastating signal that the rule of law has collapsed in this country. Or, as Jeff Bezos would put it,

FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES: 👇 “JEFFERY EPSTEIN WOULD BRING THE CHILDREN IN AND TRUMP WOULD AUCTION THEM OFF”… - EPSTEIN FILE NUMBER: DOJ. GOV — EFTA01660679 DON’T BELIEVE IT?! THEN… LOOK IT UP FOR YOURSELF! ENJOY. 😎✨
Cassidy got emotional about the "privilege" of casting his historic vote to confirm the man covering up the Epstein scandal. Note that he did not get emotional about the Epstein victims or Blanche’s protection of their abusers.

Hinojosa: 2018, Beto ran against Ted Cruz. That’s the closest we came to flipping Texas. This year, for my primary, I got twice as many votes as Beto got in 2018, even though I had eight opponents, because there’s just more energy. So, this is our year and our best chance in 25-plus years to win.
Lol, Trump’s EOs just greased the skids so they can bulldoze farmland and suck up millions of gallons of water while the rest of us get stuck with the bill and the drought. Same old story and big money gets the shortcuts, everybody else gets screwed🤦♂️
Republicans gutted the enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits and handed tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans. Now, 120k Oregonians may lose affordable healthcare and face a 15% increase in health insurance premiums. I’ll keep fighting to protect affordable healthcare and lower costs for families.
Oregon poised to adopt double-digit health insurance premium hikes in 2027 • Oregon Capital Chronicle
Some Oregonians could end up seeing a more than 15% increase in their premiums in the next year under plans from state regulators.

Yeah, I have a sock account on FB, and found the page linked below. Posted a comment asking how we can get involved. There are 2 data centers currently in the pipeline for Klickitat county (that I know of). 1 in Dallesport and 1 in Goldendale. www.facebook.com/StopWADataCe...

bsky.app/profile/mich... ICE is not going to like CO good info to pass around
Michael ❌👑 Indivisible COLO@michaelindivisible.bsky.social · 6mo agoIf you see ICE action anywhere in Colorado. Please call our quick react team at Corrn 1-844-864-8341 They will send people. We want you to stay safe. If you're recording them, stay at a safe distance. Don't give them an excuse of any kind. Whistle up people in the cities.
This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy. Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and the nation has decided to make them unsafe. We are embarking on a tragedy and we cannot look away. We cannot.

#Oregon #Mail-in Voting System✨
Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read@orsecretaryread.bsky.social · 18h agoThe Constitution protects our right to run free, fair elections, and we will defend it. Oregonians decided many years ago that vote-by-mail was our preferred way of voting, and it remains the gold standard for integrity and access nationwide. More: https://bit.ly/45JTK6M #orpol
I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.
If That's What Mayor Mamdani Has Been Doing For NYC,Count Me In...
Private equity is price gouging firefighters now. Yes, you read that right. Firefighters. Is this the most evil thing they've done yet?
I simply cannot understand how anyone can listen to Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed speak and think they sound scary or bad. The very same people who've been screaming "We NEED fighters in the democratic party!" are exactly the people now screaming, "Yeah, but not THOSE fighters!" 🤬

PSA: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
Just discovered that Klickitat dems have an account. @klickitatdems.bsky.social Have been looking for information about resistance to the proposed Klickitat data centers.
Town halls are a valuable opportunity for us to hear about the issues that matter most – like affordability, election security, environmental concerns, and more. Join us for our next town hall in Pendleton on August 24: https://bit.ly/PendletonAug24
Here’s a thought…. Let’s focus on the Colorado River drying up rather than the Reflecting Pool fiasco. The Colorado River provides water 💦 to 40 million people.
