What is JD talking about, “in my view”? It’s not a matter of opinion, it was the Oklahoma City bombing, he was 11, he would’ve known about it at the time, it was kind of a big deal.

Worked well in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race and it should work even better now that we can point out how he took a job with Trump and his team stopped screwworm eradication and fired produce inspectors so he could afford to build datacenters for his Nazi AI bot.

Billionaire political spending was about $16 million in 2008. In 2026, it could reach $2–3 billion. Whatever your politics, that’s a staggering shift in who has the financial power to shape American elections.
just saw the trump ad on ABC - shameful. I'm going to donate and vote for the people that come hard after all this unlawfulness and want to actually claw our tax dollars back.

My god, SCOTUS acted within hours to clear the way for this execution and Tennessee completely botched it and tortured her. She's still alive. This barbaric practice needs to end. www.tennessean.com/story/news/c...

The Pentagon doesn’t need a theology department. Service members need their religious freedom protected, including the freedom to practice a minority faith or no religion at all. Hegseth’s job is to defend the Constitution, not use the military to advance his own Christianity.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Hegseth: "Today, at my direction, I'm establishing the Office of Religious Affairs. It will report straight to the top -- a direct line to the secretary ... as Psalm 33:12 extolls us, blessed is the nation in which God is the Lord"
Executions, extralegal renditions, destruction of public safety services and regulations - however the regime wants to kill people, they’re happy to oblige.
This should not be close, Wisconsin. We all hate what trump has done to us. Tom Tiffany might not seem like a wild trumper, but he's just as deranged and dangerous. Help make sure we elect Crowley! Vote early. Make a plan. Volunteer. Donate. #WIgov #WIvote

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · last wk.NEWS: SCOTUS won't stop Tennessee from killing Christa Pike on Wednesday. There were no noted dissents. If Tennessee proceeds, Pike would be the first woman put to death in the state in more than 200 years. It would be the state's second execution this year.
Tennessee is set to execute Christa Pike on September 30. Christa has spent nearly three decades in solitary confinement after committing her crime as an 18-year-old girl with severe, untreated mental illness stemming from childhood abuse. Tell Governor Lee to stop her execution now.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!
We need to get a full accounting of every dollar each media company accepted of our money stolen by Trump to run his partisan political ads on their channels. Companies who accept these ads are receiving property stolen from the American people & are a disgrace for accepting them
You wouldn't know it from reading the headlines, but the president's downward mental health spiral is the biggest story in America right now We won't salvage democracy unless the media and pols start speaking the truth about Trump's damaged mind My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

My belief: This election isn’t about the economy in 2027. It’s about the economy in 2060. Prosperity comes from institutions like the rule of law, markets, a free press, and capitalism (not crony capitalism) https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/we-spend-so-much-time-talking-about

But is that what we really want to focus on? Also: Is the U.S. economy really the envy of the world?

The leader of the Republican Party is stealing money paid by American taxpayers to buy campaign ads for Republicans in the midterms. You can’t vote him out in 5 weeks, but you can vote out the people he’s trying to help with your money he’s thieving while they remain silent.
