Alt-Dems are tired of watching the party elite sell us out. We’re for real progressive change. Fighting corporate influence, uplifting workers, and pushing bold policies for the people. #AltGov

I’m not sure which I should be more upset about. - Trump stock trades - Gas prices still climbing - Grocery prices skyrocketing - Republicans who’ve held power for decades still running on the “I alone can fix it” mentality. - a Do Nothing Congress.

@kenmartin.bsky.social just how in the hell does a party that has controlled every facet of government since 2000 still try to run on the “I ALONE CAN FIX IT” C’mon, you’ve had 26 years to fix it, maybe they’re misidentifying the problem.

Ken Paxton’s former top cop who was fired after exposing Paxton’s corruption: After Paxton fired me, they started trying to hire somebody to take my place. The determining question was: ‘Are you willing to be loyal to Ken Paxton?’

@60Minutes Did you ever notice we went from Mike Wallace making corporate crooks sweat to the news showing us how to play the piano? The networks claim they’re just giving us what we want. But they fed us the junk food that ruined our appetite for the truth. It's a snake eating its own tail.

Whelp The neighbor hung up his “God Bless America 1776-2026” flag. That means I just bought A Bicentennial flag. I don’t recall God being such a part of the conversation in 1976 But I also don’t like Sigmund the Sea Monster.

Texas is running a Trump-backed Senate candidate who mastered legal evasion, surviving a decade of felony indictments and a state impeachment. Yet, while he convinced the Senate to acquit him, but he couldn't stop his senator wife from sitting through the details of his affair in the chamber.

Democrats counter with a 36-year-old former teacher & seminarian who flipped a Trump district. He uses scripture against Christian nationalism, crusades against corporate wealth, and crushed primary fundraising records, banking on a faith-forward populist strategy to break the 30-year GOP monopoly.

@Ford @chevrolet @RamTrucks Any chance you could make a Ranger/S10/Dakota that is dumb. Manual Transmission Manual Windows Manual Locks No damn smart screens For under $25,000 *signed “Guy who wants a simple and AFFORDABLE truck”

Sears had the Discover Card, and a joint venture with IBM called Prodigy. They HAD Amazon before Amazon was Amazon. Poof…gone. 140 years of retail savvy, all to fill one persons pockets.

Just an idea. Increase the size of the House to a total of 660 members to better reflect the changes in the U.S. since the limit of 435 was set in … 1929. Sure TX and FL would gain bigly. So would CA and NY. But the representation would be more reflective of the U.S. as a whole.

The thing about gerrymandering, is BOTH parties are guilty of it. If/when the Texas legislature flips; you’re correct to presume that the D’s will rework the districts to their own advantage; and the R’s will fly out of town (Cancun maybe?). Is there a fair fix? 🤷🏼‍♂️

About Texas and Gerrymandering. Dems are pissed that Republicans are going to redistrict the state. Both need to remember this when the Dems become the majority and the Repub’s are pissed about redistricting.

Texas pulls in $268M/year from hemp THC. A full statewide flood warning system? ~$150M. 200+ Texans are dead. And @DanPatrick is out here fighting gummies like it’s a crusade. Cool. Great job, y’all. #txlege #floods #priorities

My heart goes out to those lost in the Texas floods. But I had better not hear anyone from the Texas congressional delegation bitch about lack of federal funds. Y’all voted to cut shit designed to keep people alive. You wanna help? Go fill some fucking sandbags.

Trump Mobile? Making phones in the U.S. It will take 6-8 years to build a plant (using the Dr. Philip Barbay business model) and another 4-5 years to make an impact in the market.

I can’t wait for the GOP/MAGA are voted out of office. And we can hold fair and impartial investigations into what Trump, et al. did or did not do. …and no pardons.

@cnn.com as I watched both your 5pm (EST) “Headline News” and Fox’s “The 5” I noticed a trend. Your focus on Elon being “out of DC,” for a full hour. Bloviating. Fox, on the other hand jammed 4-5 stories in the same time. There is ZERO NEED to speculate on “the news.” Report it, and move on.

Democrats can win in 2026 by: Owning the message (freedom, fairness, facts). Mobilizing young + disengaged voters. Expanding into “red” territory with real investment. Exposing GOP extremism without flinching. Elevating bold, generational leaders. Using every lever of power without apology.
