JD Vance lecturing anyone about corruption is beyond parody. He says Trump rejects people getting rich off government connections—while Trumpworld reeks of self-dealing, pay-to-play politics, family profiteering & convicted fraudsters. Corruption isn’t a bug in Trumpworld. It’s the business model.

Think our effort to address the damage done by DOGE Is over? Not at all! We just won summary judgment proving that they abused our data And we are also litigating in fed court on behalf of the countless people they injured at USAID

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.

Replace "Boeing 737s" with "empty warehouses" and you've got the same play that DHS under Noem pulled. And a source on background told us in February the sales were meant to help well-connected Trump affiliates offload industrial properties that were liabilities on their books.

I feel like it should be a much bigger story that in early 2025 the MAGA regime requested a cybersecurity agency to secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it and directed them to not alert the voting machine company if it uncovered flaws. That’s called setting up for rigging an election.

There's no doubt that @aoc.bsky.social has changed the trajectory of American politics. Grateful to have her with us on the ground across Michigan to strengthen our movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

Trump has fully established that he is a Putin puppet, and is directly acting contrary to multiple Congressional actions supporting Ukraine, as well as the opinion of the vast majority of Americans. Trump is a traitor. Impeach, convict, remove. Now. #ProudBlue www.nytimes.com/2026/10/17/b...

The worst is yet to come

Rep. James Walkinshaw@repwalkinshaw.bsky.social

$1 trillion. That's the Medicaid cut Trump signed into law, and it's coming for Americans' health care. Families already struggle to afford groceries, rent, and gas under his economy. Losing their coverage will devastate them. Stopping it is priority #1.
