Regardless of anything else about AIPAC, the fact that they support anti-democracy/pro-fascism MAGA Republicans -- including John McGuire, Ben Cline, Morgan Griffith, Jen Kiggans and Rob Wittman here in Virginia -- should be completely unacceptable. bluevirginia.us/2026/08/wedn...
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.

Taking away healthcare and food from people who paid into the system their entire lives is a MORAL failure. SOCIAL SECURITY IS OUR MONEY, and access to food & medicine is a fundamental right! 🛒💔Please help sound the alarm before these cuts begin. We cannot let them starve vulnerable communities! ⚔️💪
Peter Morley ♿️@petermorley.bsky.social · 10h agoDear @markhamillofficial.bsky.social , We need the power of the FORCE to stop what's heading our way in January. 🚨The ‘BIG UGLY Bill' is a direct assault on our most vulnerable. Millions of disabled Americans, seniors, and families face devastating, historic cuts to both MEDICAID and SNAP benefits.
Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedOrDead, any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird or a photo of a bird on bare winter branches. Alt #SummerVisitors Migratory birds associated with summer or your favourite bird to capture in summer. #birds #photography #ECK

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
JUST IN: Jocelyn Benson has clinched the Democratic nomination for governor of Michigan. Congratulations, Jocelyn!

A disturbing and unhinged interview with Rep. Max Miller amid horrifying allegations; Cornyn and Tillis show the art of the cave; the Iran debacle deepens; and much more. Ron's daily bulletin has arrived.

… Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis both served up lame excuses today as they voted to pass AG nominee Todd Blanche out of the Judiciary Committee on a straight 12-10 party line vote.

reporting live from michigan today and just wanted to say: thank you to all our election workers. 💙 *especially* with Trump consistently questioning the integrity of their work — even sending DOJ monitors here.
You could have voted no on Blanche. Idiot.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

Please REPOST there are so many Americans that are not aware of these cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It’s so crucial to create as much awareness as possible.🙏
Peter Morley ♿️@petermorley.bsky.social · yesterdayI spoke with @deluzio.house.gov regarding the $1 TRILLION Medicaid & MAJOR SNAP cuts that will begin on January 1, 2027 from the BIG UGLY BILL. His POWERFUL response: "people who are eligible are going to lose out...these cuts will take away healthcare & food from people & we gotta repeal it"!
Any Senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche is also siding with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – and is actively participating in covering-up their numerous and heinous crimes.
Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Good evening. Going to answer some comments and give Helen a hand with BOTD soon. Taken at the weekend, a dull grey morning, it flew past me so I tried to lock on as best as I could. So tough. 😂 That’s actually the river behind. Brown Hawker #Dragonfly. #photography #NatureLovers #ECK
