if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law

When I was Attorney General, I took on the chaos coming from the Trump administration in court. And I won. Trump makes a lot of dangerous noise, but as Governor, I'll continue fighting to stop his attempts to destroy our resources, our state, and our values.

The In-N-Out Burger shooter comes from a family immersed in Trump propaganda. The shooter loved General Flynn, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr. He was pro-natalist and wanted to join ICE, but didn't have a college degree.

The shooter at the In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho that killed 3 people and injured 2 people is a Republican, white male. Shocked.

Trump is NOT fighting for YOU. He's fighting for golden ballrooms, personal monuments, forever wars, personal enrichment, tax breaks for the rich and more power. Democrats are fighting for an affordable gas, groceries, housing and healthcare. And for voting rights and women's reproductive rights.

Republicans just voted to slash Medicare benefits that seniors rely on every single day. They call it “reform.” Patients will call it higher costs, fewer doctors, and longer waits. This isn’t abstract. It’s your parents’ meds. Your grandparents’ care. #RepublicanMedicareCuts

People constantly saying “this will start World War III” makes me feel insane because some of y’all really believe the West and its proxies can bomb and starve millions and millions of people throughout the world but it’s not a world war until the Western countries are at risk

At what point in the act of a crime is a political party criminal? Is it the act of perpetrating a crime, the act of aiding and abetting, or the act of inaction contrary to sworn oaths?

I've read most of the books on @tressiemcphd.bsky.social's proposed reading list and plan to read the rest. These are excellent recommendations. In fact, @gilduran.com (author of The Nerd Reich) will be a guest on Movement Memos soon.

Congratulations to Donavan McKinney on winning his congressional primary, unseating a millionaire AIPAC stooge! Donavan is a former union member fighting to get money out of politics, a green new deal, and union jobs. @donavanmckinney.bsky.social @detroitdsa.bsky.social

its very telling that the mainstream media narrative is that dsa has wacky and unreasonable positions when the republican party position is that abortion should be banned, latino families should be put in concentration camps, black people should be shot by cops and transgender people shouldnt exist

Trump’s corruption runs on Republican cooperation. Every senator who confirms his cronies and every House member who blocks accountability helps keep the machine running. Flip Congress in November, and suddenly Trump faces something he has avoided for far too long: consequences.

EVERYONE in USA loved Israel until corrupt criminal extremist butcher Bibi; just as the world loved USA before illegitimate, sociopathic, child-raping, felon, fraud, rapist, pedo, criminal traitor Trump. Biden reigned in Bibi, while Trump & GOP violated the Logan Act to kill Biden’s 2024 peace deal.

More than half of Americans have cut out eating out just to afford necessities. That’s not belt tightening, that’s an entire country getting sucked dry while corrupt Republicans & their billionaires pretend everythings fine. We don’t fix it by staying quiet. #BlueWaveIn90Days

Obama can walk into any bank in the world and get a line of credit. Trump is banned from most American banks and now credit card companies. What does that tell you? Post Anything Here: interactink.vercel.app

The Trumps demanded a court force Capital One to explain itself. The court agreed. That was the mistake. 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/twelve-day...

Twelve Days Before Trump’s Bank Cut Him Off, Somebody Wrote A Memo

Capital One hasn’t released it. The Trumps’ own lawyers described it in a filing nobody read. Plus 25 states in court over the tariffs, and the nurse ICE picked the wrong fight with.

Treason isn't protected under presidential immunity, is it?

El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.

Primaries are good and they make the party stronger

One soldier's concerns about soldiers’ survival in the drone-dominated combat of the future initially led him to start tinkering with electronics he bought online. Now, he's putting the finishing touches on a drone detector that soldiers can wear like protective gear. Learn more:

Capital One closed HUNDREDS of bank accounts associated with Trump & his businesses in 2021 for "anti-money laundering reasons." Any President engaging in money laundering should be a national scandal. But in the Trump era, this news is barely a blip. Disgraceful.

Request to fellow Dems of all stripes: Let's keep our analyses of primary results positive, recognizing that we're all in this together. I've heard some poisonous stuff behind the scenes recently. It helps no one. A diverse party energized by new ideas, voters & candidates is what we need now.

“The president is fighting a fraud crisis.” Is this the same president who demanded IRS immunity and whose Capital One accounts were closed because of money laundering?

On a day when Portland is inundated with wildfire smoke and extreme heat, the attempted ballot measure to take away climate resilience funds to hire more cops has failed to make the ballot. Climate action is public safety.

Initiative seeking to hire police with Portland climate funds fails to qualify for the November ballot

The Portland City Elections office announced Tuesday that backers of the Enhanced Community Safety initiative did not submit enough valid signatures.

Here's the hard truth about Todd Blanche: he'll do whatever Trump tells him to do and can't be trusted to respect the power that comes with being the U.S. Attorney General. The Senate needs to reject him.

In my opinion, the moment we knew we would lose the Iran War, was when Hegseth unknowingly shared classified war maneuvers on Signal with a journalist. These are not serious people. Unqualified. Unfit. Unhinged. Vote out every single Republican!

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
