This is a point we all need to be making much more loudly. Elmo is corrupt AF and he's already openly threatening potential investigators with swords, no less.

Elon Musk is so DESPERATE to avoid Democrats from wining Congress bc they will investigate how he spent the BILLIONS in US tax $$$ he received that he has spent $500 million to prevent Democrats from winning. Anyone this desperate to avoid being investigated would commit crimes to steal election.

No one elected Elon Musk to oversee foreign policy. Yet he was able to unilaterally slow down Starlink in Ukraine — because his enormous wealth gave him enormous power. Now he’s using that enormous wealth to buy another election and amass even more power. See the problem here?

We must stop this. Be a voter and put sand in the gears of this treasonous idiot's administration.

Trump is doing exactly what we warned: undermining Congress’ authority, abandoning Ukraine, and letting Putin off the hook. Republicans refused to let us vote on stronger Russia sanctions. We need to return to Washington, reclaim Congress’ authority, and pass stronger sanctions.

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.

The President speaks tonight at 9 PM ET, and new federal voting restrictions are expected. Before a word is said, the nation's criminal defense lawyers are on record: whatever gets announced, four things will still be true when the speech ends. 🧵

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero weren't murdered because of car pursuits. They were murdered because the men driving those cars felt comfortable recklessly killing. None of this ends until we shut down ICE completely.

This July 4th, families are drowning in higher prices at grocery checkout. But Trump “loves the inflation” — and has no plan to lower your costs.

Side-eye McFly reposted

While you're choosing between groceries and gas, Trump just pocketed $1.2 Billion from his crypto scam. Republicans in Congress watch silently because they're getting their cut too. This isn't governance - it's organized crime…

Corruption in broad daylight continues.

White House officials secretly awarded a no-bid contract worth up to $500m for the construction of the East Wing ballroom in an unusual arrangement that sidestepped typical contracting procedures designed to control costs, according to a copy of the agreement www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Marc Elias knew Trump wouldn’t accept the results of the election in 2020. If he and the GOP lose the midterm elections in 2026, we will see him refuse to accept the results once again. “Donald Trump doesn’t want to give up power,” @marcelias.bsky.social says.

In case you missed it: last night, CBS News awarded the Mike Wallace Memorial Scholarship to Santiago Campos, a high school journalist. In accepting, he took the time to condemn the direction of CBS News to much surprise and applause from the audience.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Even FOX can't hide this reality. Pay attention to what is happening in Louisiana. Canceling the election is going to be his only option. Start preparing NOW!!! WE THE PEOPLE WILL VOTE!!!

Side-eye McFly reposted

How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel n ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

NEW: We’ve identified the man who runs the far-right troll account on X “HowlingMutant,” whose jokes about rape and the Holocaust have earned him nearly 200,000 followers, which include Vice President JD Vance. His name is Alexander Norden, from Rockaway Park in New York City.

I adore how this cheerful bloke explains things. I feel like I might understand economics when he's the one teaching.

Justin Wolfers@justinwolfers.bsky.social

Bad immigration economics assumes every extra person is one less seat. Good economics notices they also bring a seat, a side dish, and demand for the bloke selling drinks. The first story is fear; the second is how economies work.

Make no mistake. TSA workers could get paid tomorrow, but Trump said no.   We have a bipartisan solution to pay TSA workers, members of the Coast Guard, and every other DHS employee except ICE. Trump rejected the offer. Let that sink in.

nbcnews.comTrump rejects off-ramp to fund DHS as airport delays worsenUnder a proposal pitched to Trump, Republicans would offer to reopen all of DHS except ICE and fund the controversial enforcement agency under a separate party-line budget bill.

Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile... Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts. And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets. War is a racket.

Side-eye McFly reposted

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
