I'll never understand the cowardice. I mean, in normal times, if you were seeking reelection, you could rationalize a bad vote by saying you had to do it so that you could have the opportunity to vote for good things later.
Sen. Bill Cassidy: "I will vote for Mr. Blanche. I'll be criticized for this vote — what's new?"
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.
Explain it to me like I’m five. Or better yet, explain it to #MAGA. How is everything rigged when you control all three chambers of government? The White House, the Senate, the House, and oh wait, the Supreme Court?
The primary was the beginning. The real work starts now to make sure Abdul and other progressives across the Midwest win in November. Help us get there: https://kapow.works/events
No, protecting pedophiles is actually a pretty serious crime. Any fine is insufficient. He shouldn’t have a job. He should be taken away in handcuffs immediately. They all should. We all know it.
1/ 🧵 Four unrelated stories in the Daily Pulse today: one political ad, one pesticide lawsuit, one AI regulation fight, one voter roll tool. All four use the exact same trick to hide who's really behind them. Disguising true motives is a tactic of GOP. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Decided he wanted to lobby for Repug billionaires after being primaried out of the Senate. Craven & despicable behavior. Never normalize Republican lies and self-delusion.
My theory is they want to preserve their place in the “good old (white) boys’club.”
…Like, it'd encourage a deeper level of curiosity & tinkering, again, but it would also make people more aware of exactly what's happening to them w/o their knowledge or consent. Paired w/ online security & safety classes (which people claim they want for kids anyway)? Could really shift some things
Anyone running middle or high school classes where you give kids cheap blank phones & teach them to deconstruct them? I feel like getting people at an early age w/ things like "what do API calls do?" & "what are your phones/apps doing when you're not touching them?" would be good on multiple levels…
They are studying this war, and if we are talking about crises and escalations in another direction, in the Pacific Ocean, which could be a threat to other states in the Asian direction, then, of course, North Korea will gain experience in modern warfare under Russia.
🇰🇵🇺🇦 Zelensky: North Koreans appear on the territory of the Russian Federation from time to time. We see it, we know it. If at first it was about hundreds, then thousands, now it has been decided that from 30 to 50 thousand North Koreans will be on the territory of Russia.

Polish President Nawrocki says Ukraine's success against Russian aggression is in Poland's strategic interest. He argued that Warsaw should continue supporting Kyiv even without directly entering the war, saying Ukraine can count on Polish help in its fight against Russia. #Ukraine
Entitlement, “a right to benefits specified by 𝗹𝗮𝘄 or contract.” Legally, they can change anything they want to SS. That’s why there’s a “disclaimer” on the statement. It’s not 💯 guaranteed. It’s why I don’t use that outdated word. I don’t think anyone shud knowing the way this’s going. Bye now.
Why the Trump Account Rollout Is Raising Questions About Social Security
As Social Security barrels toward projected cuts, some wonder if a newly launched federal savings initiative could effectively privatize the program.

Bill Cassidy, who lost his reelection bid to a Trump-backed primary challenger, says he will vote to confirm Todd Blanche for Attorney General. I can't think of a more disgraceful way to close out your Congressional tenure than by rubber-stamping this dangerous Trump crony.
James Talarico: This is the most aggressive attack on Black political power since Jim Crow. You look at the last 12 months, you look at these Supreme Court cases, you look at this racist redistricting map in Texas.
"ICE was built after 9/11 for counterterrorism. It is now doing door-to-door civil immigration operations with inadequate training, poor oversight and no coherent mission. And people are dying." Read more here: https://bit.ly/4fXfT6n #ResistTrump
