Yep and if you know anything about Ramaswamy, his use of this should not surprise you. He's a friend of JD Vance, and is a birthright citizen who is against birthright citizenship, anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+, practices Hinduism but aligns with evangelicals. A walking conundrum of hate.

You don't need that Starbucks latte. 12,000 baristas have organized. They've spent years fighting for a fair first contract. They're demanding better pay, more hours, safe staffing and basic protections. Support the workers, not the corporation stonewalling them. Boycott Starbucks!

Shame on Palisades Hospital! ICE injured a man in Union City, brought him in, and got staff-only entrance privileges. Security and management then threatened a concerned community member. You're a non-profit meant to serve and protect this community—shame on you!

just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.

Elon Musk has spent more money on politics in the last 2 years than George Soros has spent in his entire lifetime.

A party of performative morons disinterested in policy.

We will find out soon whether Trump will pay a price for this. I don't remember any Republicans doing much of anything for rural America. Their donor base aren't small farmers. But that has never diminished their willingness to embrace the next culture war resentment

Three Russian diesel tankers steam for US — including one under sanctions ft.trib.al/YuQAdWa

Well that's the reason these corrupt dimwits Kushner and Witkoff were made "special envoys" in the first place. Obviously they are not there to negotiate any peace agreement but corrupt little backroom deals benefiting themselves and Trump's cronies.

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

I know it's serious but this is at the same time incredibly funny. This avalanche of insults, smears and bottomless neediness because you want, of all things, a Nobel PEACE prize. The Onion must be jealous. In other times this circus alone would have sunk a president.

That's worth a watch

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Why should anyone in 1937 have cared about a couple Nazis fighting in Spain? That had nothing to do with anything. Yglesias really really knows how to end up on the stupid side of any major issue. But he can't stop talking. And then he was all offended that people hounded him on Bluesky

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

"In St Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast the shortage of diesel is worse than the shortage of gasoline!" News from today after Russia shipped 3 tankers with diesel to the US. Russia did not have a diesel surplus domestically to facilitate exports.

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

It's getting crazier and more brazen by the day.

Broligarchy. We aare SO cooked. #Zer0Billionaires #Resist #VoteBlue #econsky

Hey Elon, I have a message for you. Representative Jim Himes

The wealthiest person in the world—a man who's gotten rich through government money and has spent half a billion dollars on this election cycle—is complaining about elites getting rich off the government and spending big on elections.

Absolutely nuts. Even for this administration

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

🚨Ex-GOP political strategist Steve Schmidt has called for the “immediate removal” of Donald Trump’s son-in-law from “every diplomatic assignment” following an explosive report alleging that Jared Kushner secretly had access to roughly $1.75 billion in Gulf money while serving in the White House.

Like Senator @reverendwarnock.bsky.social said, it's time to leave it all on the field.

Who's gonna sue? It would have to be the Pentagon. Laughable. It's a shame so much of American government is run on an honor system and not on oversight. Imagine we had a government of laws and not men.

Vivek Ramaswamy thinks childhood sexual abuse is a character flaw. Being a colossal asshole, apparently, is not.

Absolutely 👇

Has a pool reporter ever stood up on behalf of their colleagues when this happens?

I've noticed the harder this administration goes after immigrants, the more Americans seem to support immigration.⁣ ⁣ It's good to know that we care about friends, colleagues, and neighbors. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/admitting-im-an-immigrant-shouldnt

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

I’ve never trusted this shitweasel.

This is insane

All these so-called “independent” Republicans will go right back to voting for Johnson as speaker, confirm every Trump nominee, vote with Trump on everything, and continue doing zero oversight on his corrupt regime. A vote for any one of them is a vote to continue all of that.

The contribution limit for an individual is $3,500. Elon Musk, a government contractor, is trying to purchase Congress. Billionaires are smothering our elections for their personal gain. Get big money out of politics.

If it is possible to know which specific companies are now going to be selling Russian fuel in the US, someone please let us all know because that’s something many of us want to know.
