Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 14h agoTrump: "The thing they should look at is blue states and blue cities. Cities run by Democrats. Because that's really the threat to the country. Because they're a disaster."
Congrats to BP and all the other oil companies raking in historic profits off the back of the Iran War.

I’m just glad the tariff refunds are going to help out struggling multibillion dollar companies in these difficult times.

How did he vote on releasing the Epstein files?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayMoreno on Max Miller: "My daughter lives in constant fear of this man ... you can't fathom what that makes me feel like when the dad's number one job is to protect your kids... if there's any minimum standard for being an elected official, he feels to meet it. I don't care about the politics at all"
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Get out the Vote! As a reminder, there are Statewide Primaries in Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Virginia, and Washington State today, and even more elections later this week! Here's our Rising Stars on the ballot today & some extra races to watch!
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Hello from Portland Oregon. View from my yard of my dirty blue city and our gross trees. At the moment slightly obscured by smoke because my beautiful blue state is on fire.
For those who’ve been looking for ways to help Spokane, a thread of donation opportunities👇
City of Spokane@spokanecity.org · 3d agoAs the Spokane community continues to face the devastating impacts of local wildfires, you can help your neighbors. We will continue to update this thread with more opportunities to help!
Oregon just set a horrible new wildfire record: 2 million acres burned—and months left to go in fire season. I’m grateful to the firefighters and emergency personnel working through difficult conditions and will continue to fight for the federal resources Oregon needs.
The greatest gift we can leave future generations isn’t money it’s a healthy planet. Protect forests today, so life can thrive tomorrow. There is no Planet B.
This makes me feel sad. This is not the type of thing I feel "victorious" about. What a ghoul.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5mo agoStephen Miller: "There has never in history been a more total asymmetric one-sided annihilation of the enemy than what is unfolding right now in Iran"
after he got big mad about canadian wildfire smoke he decided to just domesticate it

Navalny, in prison: “I don’t for a second regret it… the only thing we should fear is we’ll surrender our homeland to be plundered by a gang of liars, thieves & hypocrites. That we will surrender without a fight, voluntarily, our own future and the future of our children.”
If you can't keep your AI from escaping its sandbox and going rogue maybe you're not responsible enough to be working with AI. Time to regulate them, though I have no faith in Trump's ability to do so. They just have to pay him and his toadies enough to look the other way.
PBS News@pbsnews.org · 5d agoAnthropic said its artificial intelligence models hacked into three other organizations during testing, just days after ChatGPT maker OpenAI raised concerns over AI controls after it disclosed its rogue models hacked another company. https://to.pbs.org/4vTMi3z
Holy shit! Jim Jordan is reduced to stammering when Kasie Hunt presses him on why he continues to support Max Miller despite credible allegations that he abused his ex-wife and toddler daughter
Medicare and Medicaid were created 61 years ago today—and have been a lifeline for folks in Oregon and across the country ever since. I’m fighting to restore health coverage to the millions who lost it because of Republicans’ Big, Ugly, Betrayal of a bill.
Authorities plan to use dynamite at the ancient sites, where Indigenous communities created complex murals over thousands of years. www.iflscience.com/us-governmen...
Odd, how Republicans are so angry at the *pretend* notion that Dr. Fauci undermined our health but are not even slightly interested in RFK Jr’s *actual* undermining of our health.
61 years ago, Medicare & Medicaid became law & have helped provide care for elders, disabled & low-income families. Yet Trump & Republicans gutted these vital programs to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. I'll never stop fighting to save healthcare & affirm it as a human right.
