I believe in the kind of America where no matter where you grow up, the color of your skin, how you pray, you deserve equal rights in this country. You deserve to go to a good school, get healthcare when you need it, and know that you can graduate and get a good job.
Michigan, this is OUR moment. Vote Tuesday, August 4th.
This impressive American has listened to the people and is leading bravely. I’m not from Michigan but I’m pulling for him.

@gtconway.bsky.social is right.
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · 2d agoWe disgrace ourselves as a nation each and every day Donald Trump remains in office. The drafters of the United States Constitution provided a remedy for a criminally insane president like the one we have—impeachment and removal ...
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
Please note: The current phrase is we have “Outlines of a deal…”
Anyone claiming that Zohran Mamdani should be banned from 9/11 memorial services is an extreme Islamophobic bigot. There is zero justification in any universe. That man has been nothing but decent and sweet and he has to put up with these racist bastards.
This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.
If you bought stock in any of Elon Musk's companies I am laughing directly at you. Imagine believing you can create a historically accurate fiction. It's fiction from 3,000 years ago.
KEN PAXTON: "Schools, follow the Ten Commandments!" SCHOOLS: "You first, you adulterous bearer of false witness."

The cyclosporiasis outbreak appears to be the largest ever recorded in the United States, and members of Congress are now demanding answers from the CDC about whether staffing cuts, hiring freezes, and agency reorganization affected the federal response.
I have seen Pete Hegseth trying to doing pull ups. It appears as though he definitely needs testosterone replacement therapy.
Agree. This is yet another downside of not having a properly staffed and fully functioning CDC and FDA.
Melody Schreiber@melodyschreiber.com · 3w agoI have a lot of complicated thoughts that I need to put into an actual article, but in the meantime: the odds that this cyclospora outbreak are limited to Taco Bell are low. And I'm concerned that a restaurant that voluntarily pulled products is now shouldering so much of the blame.
“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”
The job of the AG is to enforce the law Todd Blanche fired a career pardon attorney for refusing to rubber stamp Trump's agenda & then sent US Marshals to her door If the Senate confirms Blanche, it won’t be confirming an AG, it will be confirming Trump’s personal attorney -TN

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 3w agoFormer Pardon Attorney: 2 days after Mr. Blanche was confirmed as Deputy AG, he fired me from my position as a pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a political favor for Trump's friend. Blanche sent US Marshals to my home in an effort to prevent me from speaking with members of Congress.
You are NOT wrong.
The Liberal BoJack@thelibbojack.bsky.social · 4w agoI STILL FEEL THAT SINCE PRESIDENT OBAMA HAD TO RELEASE HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO PROVE HE WAS AMERICAN..TRUMP SHOULD BE FORCED TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES TO PROVE HE'S NOT A PEDOPHILE 🤷🤔 AM I WRONG 🤔 Post anything here: interactink.vercel.app
I’m starting to doubt his deal making prowess.
Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social · 4w agoTrump just declared his own Iran ceasefire DEAD—calling talks a “waste of time” and saying “I think it’s over” at the NATO summit. This is the same “unconditional surrender” peace deal he bragged about just 3 weeks ago. Now both sides are attacking again—oil jumped 6%. Total chaos. Classic Trump.
