It's time to defund Elon. robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

Y’all have been in charge for decades @marshablackburn literally wtf are you talking about

What actual DOJ weaponization looks like. We are very far off the cliff.

Mike Rogers' yacht has a yacht.

McDonald's is now reportedly pressuring franchisees to use AI to price food. Its CEO raked in $20.6M last year, over 1,000x the median McDonald's worker pay of $19,020. And they remain one of the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients. I'm not lovin' it.

We’re honestly still taken aback by Elon advising the Pentagon on the future of wars. Didn’t we all see how badly he failed with DOGE?

I hope Michiganders elect Abdul El-Sayed to the Senate. He would be good for Michigan and good for the United States. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/senator-abdul-el-sayed

The billions of dollars we send to a foreign military to drop bombs on somebody else should have been spent to build schools, housing, and to provide healthcare HERE.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: MeidasTouch has obtained new images showing severe destruction at a U.S. base in Kuwait following an Iranian attack. See the images and our full report:

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two MORE unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

At a time when measles cases are skyrocketing across the USA, Health Secretary RFK Jr. is returning to the organization he founded and once chaired, “Children’s Health Defense”, to deliver the keynote address at its conference today. The “Children’s Health Defense” is an anti-vaccine group.

Deliberately crashing the American economy—costing American families well over $5,000 each—and then promising to pay those families back $5,000 but *only if* they keep letting him abuse them and the country for two more years... ...is some *seriously* dark, domestic-abuser shit.

PSA: Election officials in California, Oregon, Washington and elsewhere are telling voters if you can, return your ballot through an official ballot drop box rather than trusting it to the mail.

This is Trump and the Republican Party’s “special envoy” tasked with bringing about an end to Putin’s war of aggression- exactly who they wanted because this Republican administration is on the side of Russia and Putin. We have never been more morally bankrupt.

Mike Rogers called it “necessary.”

A major new report reveals the Pentagon secretly placed right-wing influencers with large online followings into government roles while they publicly defended Pete Hegseth. And the details of what some of them were doing inside the Pentagon raise even bigger questions.

Of course he lied to Congress. Hello?! He's RFKjr. His Samoa trip and his motives are well-documented. In this tiny island-nation, his actions are directly responsible for sickening thousands, the deaths of at least 83 people – most were children under five years old. He's trying to cull us!

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

We’re not changing it.

Whatever you call it, you just made all the goods we buy that come across our border more expensive. Michigan, he’s asking us to pay for his vanity trade war with our money.

NEWS: Two unvaccinated people in Pennsylvania have died from measles, according to state health officials. They are Pennsylvania’s first measles-related deaths in 35 years and the first reported measles deaths in the U.S. this year.

An Amazon worker died in one of Amazon's warehouses. As he lay on the floor dying, management told the other workers: "Just turn around and don't look. Get back to work." That was a human being. A child of God. Sacrificed on the altar of corporate greed.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s pardons have cost crime victims a staggering $1.7 billion in restitution while wiping away penalties for wealthy fraudsters and political allies, according to a new congressional review. The full findings are damning:

MYSTERY MEAT: Trump says he struck a deal to flood the U.S. with cheaper foreign beef. There’s just one problem: He refuses to tell Americans which countries the beef is coming from. And U.S. ranchers are furious.

The biggest ass sucker in Congress. No legislative accomplishments, many press interviews, an enabler of sexual harassment. A loser. A giant loser.

You might be a Republican if you use your gay brother’s death as an opening to have a national platform to spread anti-LGBTQ hate . . .

FLASHBACK — @angieforfl.bsky.social nixon grabbed a Tennessee Three-style bullhorn to protest Florida’s unconstitutional seat-stealing redistricting Now she’s the Democratic nominee for U.S. senate Bottom line: The people want fighters

Trump is still pushing tariffs, claiming they will revive U.S. manufacturing. But we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs since Trump took office in 2025 And U.S. imports grew while the trade deficit in goods hit a record high. The chaos amounted to nothing but higher costs for you.

Republican projecting claims of communism on democrats is just dishonest & deceitful, they need to look no further than their communist loving leader…

Jon Ossoff: “Donald Trump would rather fly around in a gilded plane than do his job.” Republicans: “DONALD TRUMP IS NOT A PEDOPHILE WHO SHITS HIMSELF AND CHEATS ON HIS WIFE AND HIS TAXES!!!!!!!”

The president is making US policy friendlier to North Korea and Russia than Canada and Oman. Are you kidding me?

This Entire Chump Regime Is Unqualified.......

Breaking: Trump announces the US will now be siding with North Korea and Kim Jong Un instead of the democratic South Korea. “Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea...”

Fox (is not) News

O'KEEFE: You have been writing letters & trying to get updates on the status of McConnell. Have you heard anything? BESHEAR: I have heard absolutely nothing back from Mitch McConnell... all he needs to do is do a video for 2 minutes to the people he's supposed to serve, but he absolutely refuses to

Who doesn't love a snappy comeback? #November3rdWe8647

So we have partisan political police in the middle of a work day attending a political rally in uniform. Looks like Nuremberg in 1936.

He didn’t change. They did.

Ossoff: "They see the rebuke that is coming and fear the accountability that will follow it. They recognize the president is deeply unpopular. He's reviled. The public is awake to his corruption and self-dealing…The truth will come out. Mark my words. The truth will come out.”

Epstein’s best friend says what?

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $20.5M in 2025 — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 958x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

BBC lawyers are moving to subpoena Don Jr., Ivanka, and Jared Kushner in Trump’s $10B defamation case, arguing the trio can speak to what Trump really intended when he addressed the crowd at the Ellipse on Jan. 6, 2021

Trump pocketed $2.2 BILLION in 2025 while American families lost $219 BILLION to rising costs, according to a stunning new report. The numbers tell the story.

“Socialism is a scareword they have hurled at every advance the people have made… socialism is their name for most anything that helps the people. 1952. Truman. This is how stale their desperate fearmongering is. cc: @MarshaBlackburn

The White House is reportedly pressuring the DOJ to bring NEW charges against former Olympian David Hearn after Jeanine Pirro dropped the Reflecting Pool vandalism case against him, concluding the evidence didn’t hold up.
