I am but a humble barbell strength coach with business degree from a state college. So I will speak from MY expertise. When you have momentum, you don't ease up. You push harder. That's how you make REAL change happen. THIS is momentum. PUSH HARD NOW! Do NOT ease up!

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

If you want to get a modicum of a sense of what a sparkling gem of a human being and fierce defender and representative of her constituency this woman is, you could do a lot worse than to listen to her conversation with @wkamaubell.bsky.social. youtu.be/4KhKYzF6SOE?...

It was powerful to be in community in Oakland to honor the enduring legacy of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. The Panthers started a movement that laid a blueprint for collective liberation that we're still following today - the fight for housing, food security, education, & justice.

Trump has recently developed a manic obsession with GOP men's bottoms. But Vivek Ramaswamy, JD Vance, and other party members continue to prove that the GOP has no bottom. In this essay, I will argue...

Elon just threatened to "come for" whoever's "pulling the strings" of legislators that come after him. It's We, the People, Elon. We're all coming for you, and when we stand together, our power eclipses yours by (actual) orders of magnitude. Tick tock, Elon. Vote Talarico.

Trump set up a whistleblower hotline to catch fraud, and America immediately understood the assignment: flooding it with reports on Trump, his family, and his entire cabinet. Huge shoutout to everyone doing their patriotic duty by reporting the actual criminals! 💅🔥

This is exceptional. If you only read one thing today, it gets my vote.

David Rothkopf: Did we really win the Cold War? Defeat fascism? Bury the Confederacy? In retrospect, thanks to Trump, MAGA and their enablers, perhaps none of those things. My latest.

Plaster this EVERYWHERE. This is winning messaging.

The husband of a U.S. soldier killed in Trump's Iran war confronts JD Vance over alleged military leadership failures that led to the deaths of his wife and five other service members. JOEY AMOR: “There's a failure in the leadership.” VANCE: “This is literally the first time I've heard of this.”

I'm old enough to remember when the name "Benedict Arnold" was so synonymous with being a traitor to the United States that it was lobbed as an epithet. There's a new epitome of a perpetrator of crimes against the USA.

Treason, thy name is Trump.

I am old enough to be deeply troubled by how inured and desensitized we have become to mass school shootings. Columbine rocked us to our core. It was huge. Parkland and Sandy Hook were big deals. The Bend shooting is giving "just another Thursday." We have to DO something. It's long overdue.

There will come a time when we give due process to the people who worked so hard to deny others due process. And we will convict them of treason and murder and fraud and a billion other things and then we will be able to start to rebuild a better nation. But only then.

Don't let their intimidation tactics stop you. Pull your lever. It takes courage to exercise the franchise right now and we need EVERY BIT of it now.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

Yes, absolutely. For example, if in the next few weeks, Trump sends ICE officers to polls, you know what you do? You go anyway, you throw them a middle finger, and you walk into the ballot box and don't let them intimidate you. What you don't do is despair and stay home.

The regime is kicking hornets' nests here. We have to win BIG in November so we can get these criminals out of power and into criminal courts where they belong. Enough damage to our neighborhoods, our pocketbooks, & our Constitution. Vote them out, prosecute them, save the Republic.

Ilhan Omar@ilhanmn.bsky.social

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Every word of this from @drewmagary.bsky.social. Democrats will likely retake Congress, but what they do next is an open question. That's why it's important for us all to press Democrats -- right now -- to commit to an aggressive agenda of oversight and accountability.

Right wing political ads war of the “dangers” of “Shariah Law" and how it'll make us the United States of Islamerica. (Came up with that on my own, you’re welcome). This is all nonsense. Read & share my piece on the Truth About Shariah to counter MAGA propaganda. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-truth-...

qasimrashid.comWhat is “Shariah Law?”As the right wing media and political ecosystem spread fear and disinformation--he’s a breakdown of the actual facts about Islamic Shariah

For anyone having as hard a time keeping it straight as I am: Dennis Haskins was known for touching the hearts & minds of the students of Bayside High in his role as Principal Richard Belding. Dennis Hastert was known for touching high school boys on the winky. May the former rest in peace.

"we have no Supreme Court. We have six Republicans in black robes, a second legislature with pretensions to grandeur, legislating from the bench without even doing us the courtesy of honesty in their malfeasance."

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

Dr. El-Sayed has an MD from Columbia and a PhD in public health from Oxford. He's a career public health professional. You couldn't conceive of a better pedigree to be trustworthy voice when it comes to legislating public health. RFK Jr. is a heroin addict who eats roadkill and swims in sewage.

Point 1: Samuel Alito has never had any friends Point 2: People lost their bodily autonomy, their ability to reproduce, and their lives over that decision. I not only give zero fucks about Sammy's friends abandoning him, I wish I believed in a hell for him to eternally rot and burn in.
