I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

Telling a woman to shut up when she’s asking about the attack ad you’ve backed calling a pedophilia victim a loser is like a turducken pf misogyny

Literally fire all the Democratic fundraising consultants and shut down all these fucking companies.

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

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.

NEW: The Trump Administration has denied our request for emergency assistance after storms in August. Our communities are still picking up the pieces, but this President is playing politics instead. Illinois will keep fighting to help our people recover and rebuild.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

It seems apt that on an afternoon when Pew Research shows his approval rating nearing the 40-points-underwater threshold, Trump would try to salvage matters by shouting online: *Look! N––ers!!!*

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

NEW: The CNN/MSNOW/Politico hearing has concluded. It seems clear to me that Judge Kelly will issue a TRO or a preliminary injunction to restore the press passes. The only question is whether he does it on due process alone, or First Amendment as well. I bet we get a ruling before close of business.

IMHO the taxonomy of right-wing beliefs is: 1) Dipshits who "don't like politics" meaning they don't think at all, just herd behavior 2) Dullards soaked in propaganda who believe they're thinking 3) Downright malicious people who just want to cause harm. Material grievances are tangential at best.

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social

a lot of people want to believe that right-wing beliefs are rooted in some legitimate material grievance. that makes it easier to imagine that if we simply solved the material problem, they’d deradicalize. but they won’t, because they aren’t disillusioned, they’re just morons.

Make no mistake—this is Mike Rogers' position on data centers. He's got up to $2.6 million invested in companies cashing in on the data center boom, all while Michiganders watch their utility bills soar.

No, he took a swing at the president, noting that the president would rather spend time with her on his plane than do his job. If I complain that my son is spending all his time at the beach instead of doing chores, I am not actually "taking a swing at the beach"

Republicans aren’t really worried the public might think the president is having an affair—after all, they voted for the “grab them by the pussy” guy—so much as the public might think the president needs a dementia nurse and she’s the person doing presidential communications.

“it costs less money than what we’re doing now” is the only answer we need to push normies towards universal healthcare

Jen Taub@jentaub.bsky.social

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

I would argue this belief in scientific racism is in fact one of the main animating beliefs of "elite centrism" as practiced today. Important to realize this if you're trying to understand what motivates these people and how to deal with them.

We could eliminate $7 billion in medical debt with the $70 million they spent to beat me in the primary. Those same corporations and special interests are trying to buy the seat for Mike Rogers now. In November we teach them once and for all: Michigan is not for sale.

Planned Parenthood has been relentless in their mission to provide people the healthcare services they need. I look forward to partnering with them in the Senate to defend the reproductive rights of every Michigander, period.
