CNN: Measles in the US is at 35-year high, the 2nd record-breaking year in a row. 93% of these cases are among unvaccinated. This is happening on your watch. For years, you denied the efficacy of vaccines. Do you accept some responsibility for this outbreak? RFK: Absolutely not.

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
Here is the good news: DOJ is now 0-20 in lawsuits to gain access to voter files and tomorrow is the 90th day before the election which means states can't purge voters -- even if DOJ wants them to. The bad news: Trump won't give up trying to use DOJ to undermine the elections.

Congratulations to @jocelynbenson.bsky.social, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, and all the candidates up and down the ticket who earned our party’s nomination here in Michigan. Now it’s time to come together and deliver the case that Democrats must make over the next 90 days, everywhere we go.
Anything about his protection from IRS audits for life? No?? ALL of his businesses and ALL of his family, included. No??
Fox Propaganda wanted President Obama in jail for ObamaCare and called President Biden a dictator for trying to erase student debt, but haven’t said one word about the orange felon trying to fund Jan 6 terrorists, protecting pedos or committing money laundering. Funny how that works.
Grumpy Liberal @grumpyliberal.bsky.social Why do something natural when you can cripple the electric grid and deplete our potable water supply instead? C’mon. It’s cool. Can’t you see?
Great news! We only torched 80% of our missile interceptors. That leaves a full 20% for the next war. Which starts Tuesday. Relax. Raytheon’s on it. Delivery date: 2031. P.S. Duck.
If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.
The linked Politico article (below) re election results is a bs take rightly skewered in this post by @juliusgoat.bsky.social. But *this* part bears repeating so DNC can hear it: "when your party's leadership all endorses the loser, it means the leadership is out of touch with the electorate."
Pretty sure when you win the election it's a big election night. Pretty sure when your party's leadership all endorses the loser, it means the leadership is out of touch with the electorate.

According to “fair & balanced” Fox News, communists and Islamists wants to take away your Christmas & thanksgiving while starting sharia law. This is the level of brainwashing we are up against. This is the primary source of news for the majority of republicans in the US.

Todd Blanche promising two old men my daughters’ reproductive rights in order to get confirmed while simultaneously defying the Epstein laws is core Republican and THIS is why they will ultimately crash. REPUBLICANS HATE WOMEN AND ALWAYS HAVE PERIOD END OF STORY FOREVER AMEN THE END
Wow. This—combined with the massive number of people who voted in the Michigan primary, and the closeness of the race—shows people assertively stating what they want with their votes. Sometimes, democracy speaks loudly. I hope people listen.
Unfathomable
Whitehouse on Blanche and Ghislaine Maxwell: "It was to get exculpatory information about Donald Trump and then reward her ... How often does a prisoner allegedly facing threats or danger get moved to a less secure facility? Think about it. It doesn't pass the test of common sense."
Even one of tRump’s former White House aides is calling it out. Sarah Matthews says the administration is gaslighting its own supporters on the economy. Lower prices and peace were the pitch. Self-inflicted chaos is what they delivered. www.huffpost.com/entry/sarah-...

People “feel bamboozled,” said Sarah Matthews, also calling it “a slap in the face.”

The “great” economy is as fake as his hairline, and fading fast.
A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4
Roughly $700 billion in federal taxes went uncollected last year, mostly because Trump and Elon Musk gutted IRS enforcement. The richest ten percent of Americans own nearly 88 percent of all corporate stock and mutual funds.
