I am a retired San Francisco Bay Area attorney who is resisting the efforts of Trump and Musk to replace America’s democracy with a plutocracy. Please join THE RESISTANCE!!! Your progeny will thank you for what you did to save our democracy. No DMs pls.
Have folks been watching the stock market over the last month? Here is a snapshot of the DOW. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ have mirrored this growth. I wish journalists would use snapshots like this to discuss the disparity between what’s happening on Wall Street and Main Street.
Tillis and Cornyn just proved that even Repubs who have nothing to lose by doing the right thing for America are willing to sell America down the river to do the bidding of Dear Leader. Grouse about that today, but get your butt to the polls in November to do something about it. VOTE Repubs out!!!
Tillis said Blanche had to meet with Epstein survivors. The survivors said he was condescending, rude & constantly interrupted them. They said he was just checking a box. Tillis wants slush fund order modified & IRS settlement gone. Blanche creates a sham order. Tillis wants performative nonsense.
Did Todd Blanche pull the wool over the eyes of Tillis and Cornyn? Or did they put on a dog and pony show of acting like they were fighting for some “concessions”?
Katie Phang@katiephang.bsky.social · 2d agoIs Todd Blanche’s nomination back on track after he allegedly “rescinded” the $1.8 billion slush fund & limited the tax immunity provision in the “settlement agreement” in Trump’s collusion w/the IRS & Treasury Dept.? There's no enforceability to what Blanche has done: youtu.be/Em09xu3UGxQ?...
BREAKING: Jeanine Pirro seen arriving at the White House today. Yet another MAGA loyalist is about to be fired.
They said pay more and do the Animal Kingdom Safari Excursion. It would be so much fun they said. 😂🤣🤣
Happy 65th Birthday, August 4th, to the best President in US History. The black man "they" feared, led with humor, dignity & grace for 8 yrs scandal-free, has a beautiful & accomplished family, and is beloved by millions around the world. @barackobama.bsky.social #BarackObama #ThePeoplesPresident
James Talarico is an excellent candidate and would make an amazing United States Senator. Texas is unredeemable if it elects his opponent, Ken Paxton, who unquestionably is the most corrupt politician on ballots this election cycle.
I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.
I mean this in all seriousness, this is a severely mentally ill & delusional person who not only should be removed from office under the 25th amendment, but he should be in a psych ward. This is pure insanity on so many levels. He lives in a fantasy world. He is unwell & has lost touch with reality.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
NEWS: Trump vetoed a bipartisan water project he'd promised Coloradans. Now, according to Lauren Boebert, the real reason wasn't the fiscal concerns his official veto message cited. She says she was told it was retaliation over Tina Peters sitting in jail.

Trump’s official veto note cited fiscal objections.

“Many people say that I look like a young Elvis Presley.” *By “many people,” he means absolutely no one on Earth.
Follow-up: Iran just called BS and said Trump lied again. They reaffirmed once again that ships can only cross the Strait via IRGC-approved route with permission. Same old story, different day.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 4d agoTrump again backs down, claiming Iran (and others) are begging for a deal so he can cancel the attack. Same old story: “locked and loaded” threats, then pause for talks on Hormuz and nukes. Get it DONE… until the next time.
According To Massachusetts Dept. Of Revenue, It's Generated $ 3.38 Billion During The Most Recent Fiscal Year Alone ! So Go Ahead, TAX THE RICH..... (WBUR)
If I was this stupid and incompetent, I would be out of a job... just saying.

Rubio: If you criticize Israel — you will no longer be granted a visa for the United States. You can say whatever you want about the United States though. Absolutely sickening.
Al Jazeera: Iran has released satellite imagery showing that they have destroyed 3 F-35s and damaged 3 more. They have said that several US service members were killed in the attack, including officers. We are claiming that none of their missiles got through.
MEDIA PSA: When you call it the $1.8 Billion “anti-weaponization fund” you’re helping Trump sane-wash it It’s an “insurrectionist slush fund” A “heist” or “theft” from taxpayers A “scheme” to enrich himself When you use his words you aren’t a journalist, you’re a stenographer
Trump may disagree with Pirro, but there are apparently limits to how much she’s willing to lie to propagate his narrative. If DOJ had any evidence, even circumstantial, they would be charging people.
Fake genius and corporate welfare queen Elon Musk has pledged to spend at least 100 million dollars to help Trump republicans in the midterms. It won’t work this time because Trump is as popular as herpes and everybody has seen this GOP Congress at work, or not.

The Mirror us: A woman from Texas who voted for Trump in the 2024 election said "I don't think this is really what I voted for" after her caregiver was arrested by ICE. I have tested negative for sympathy for this woman who got exactly what she voted for. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
