The Haslams have more than $16 billion, and for some reason they are currently trying to take $600 million of Ohio taxpayer dollars to construct a new stadium for the private NFL team they own, while they use their public position (and the team’s employees) to promote extremely partisan politics

If you needed another reason to hate the Browns other than possibly starting an alleged sexual predator at QB, their owners are hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for a fundraiser. I hope they lose every game.

🔥 FLORIDA State Rep. @AngieNixon : “If believing a mom shouldn’t have to work 3 jobs to keep a roof over her head is extreme, call me extreme… Ashley Moody can call me whatever she wants— but in November she’ll be calling me ‘SENATOR’.”

A Senate candidate talking about the Powell memo???? Pinch me, am I dreaming????

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social · 2w ago

James Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves. And it worked.

Reminder: progressive is mainstream

FLASHBACK: “I don’t give a shit how many people Elon hires”🤔 Brent Taylor admitted to us even if xAI won’t hire MEMPHIS folks he doesn’t care @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “That’s the problem— He doesn’t care.“ Now it’s Data Center Defender Taylor vs. Pearson. Choose your fighter, #TN9.

UPDATE: @justinjpearson.bsky.social wins the Democratic nomination in TN-9

On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state." This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states. I’m voting NO.

This has been a problem from the beginning. Dismantle ICE… Native Americans are U.S. citizens. Reports of ICE questioning and detaining Native Americans, including challenges to tribal IDs, should concern every American. Don’t tell me this is only about immigration status anymore.

It’s the last day of GOTV in Michigan before Election Day tomorrow — and no matter where you are, you can help real Democratic fighters overcome massive amounts of outside spending. Let’s get the people-powered campaigns of Abdul El-Sayed, Donavan McKinney, and Will Lawrence across the finish line.

WATCH — @redstateupdate.bsky.social (Murfreesboro): “Millions of people have already lost their insurance. And when this ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ kicks in after the midterms? Good Lord… How are they gonna say they don’t have enough money for Medicare when they’re painting statues gold?” 🤷🏼

I'm 62. Capitalism and computer science, with one or two exceptions, have combined to make everything worse and people poorer. The damage the likes of Uber, Airbnb and dynamic pricing have done is incalculable. GenAI is making it even worse.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding at Madison Square Garden? $30 million. The amount special interests have spent against @abdulelsayed.bsky.social in the Michigan Senate race? $60 MILLION. Twice as much to try and buy one Senate seat. It’s the many vs. the money. Vote for Abdul.

It’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”

Again: Where are the calls for Miller to resign from all the folks who had thoughts about Platner? They’ve known all along.

I think we might be fighting Hell itself.

This week, I sat in a church on Staten Island and listened to 26 community leaders of different faiths discuss what their congregants need most from city government.

Father protests after ICE raid elementary bus stop. "I've never protested before in my entire life, But then I watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from their own government. I never want to see a child run away from our own government again."🇺🇸

17 years ago today, the federal minimum wage was increased to $7.25—17 years ago! That was last time we had a federal minimum wage increase. It's past time we change that.

For decades, Big Ag has weaponized the patent process to wage lawfare on small- and medium-sized farms in an attempt to put them out of business. My Fair Seeds for Farmers Act would put farmers ahead of greedy corporations & lower grocery costs for families! Congress must pass it NOW!

Nobody in the U.S. Senate is more responsible for the overturning of Roe v. Wade than Susan Collins. In November, we will defeat her.

Yikes — Haley Stevens staffer was doubling as a Palantir consultant Don’t you just hate when that happens? Who among us hasn’t accidentally hired a Palantir consultant! 🤷🏼‍♀️
