I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

What's a little suffering as long as trump gets rich?

Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.gov

NEWS: A new report reveals Trump’s personal oil and gas holdings have nearly doubled in value, now worth as much as $81.6 million compared to as much as $46 million last year.   The President is profiting off Americans' suffering. And he couldn't be prouder.

AI will create new types of jobs, for example, documenting 60,000 severance packages in minutes that’s previously used to take months

The next time you complain about the endless deluge of fundraising texts & spam email from Dem campaigns, keep in mind that it would take *40,000* $25 donations to cancel out 1/445th of what Elon Musk has spent this cycle.

Checking something...Google AI The national median household income in the U.S. is approximately $83,730. Based on standards from the Pew Research Center and recent Investopedia Analysis, the upper-middle class generally ranges from about $125,596 to $167,460 per year

Gah. Just watched the IL Senate debate. The GOPer is such a loser: How will you address the perception in downstate IL that Chicago gets all the money. GOPer: Well I have 2 homes, one in Chicago and one downstate. Also companies are leaving IL (A few headquartered in Chi), Deere & THE BEARS

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Thanks @wgntv.com and Tahman Bradley for that clip on what a clueless, useless trumptoady the GOP candidate for the Senate is. "IL gas prices are high because of state taxes" TB: "That's not a US/Senate issue." "Well, uh if you add in inflation, it was higher with Biden." I'm voting for Stratton.

I hate them all. Fucking "public servants." More like trump servants.

If think you know someone who may not vote who is struggling to pay their bills, let them know this is what the Republican Party was working on today to improve their life.

I don't bother listening to many videos on Bluesky, but this made me so happy.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Again: don’t get complacent. Polls look great, but polls don’t vote. Ignore this shit and vote like we’re down by 3%

Good to see that the assassination of Melissa Hortman & her husband Mark, followed by the government murders of Alex Pretti & Renee Good, have convinced Minnesota Republicans to stop using dangerous rhetoric that could incite violence.

Tom Emmer refers to Somali-Americans as "enemy combatants" and says they should be "rounded up and put in jail"

Who’s in charge of FEMA these days? Do they even exist anymore?

If a hurricane warning or a storm surge warning has been issued for your area, any preparations to protect life and property from storm surge and damaging winds should be rushed to completion today. Check hurricanes.gov for the latest forecast updates.

Noticed these along the tollway yesterday. (I had to double check what office he was running for. Senate against Stratton.) What a fricken' idiot. Some reporter needs to ask is Social Security, Medicare/Aid, and all the jobs repairing the TriState are destroying lives.
