WATCH — @ronaldfilipkowski on Elon Musk: "How did we allow a private individual to have this much power over the world? The next administration needs to divest itself and decouple itself from all things Musk. Correct. Get him out of the business of the U.S. government."

Even repeating America’s record year for new power and storage ten times would leave us 170 gigawatts short of projected additions. Democrats and Republicans have a bipartisan plan to help close the gap. 🇺🇸 Compromise isn’t surrender 📣 Tag your senators and tell them to get Permitting Reform done!

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.

Not sure I'd want to shake his hand... remember what happened to Pope Francis? Keep an eye on who gets injured this Sunday. Hopefully, his presence has no effect on the outcome of the Bengals vs Ravens this week. GO BENGALS! WHO DEY!!

📌This naked statue of Trump, The Orange Plague, in the European Parliament in Strasbourg is exactly how you handle this deviant, who uses his office to celebrate himself, and crush others. He needs to know that THIS is how he will be remembered when he finally takes his last gasp.

Katie Phang: "Todd Blanche wants to continue to hide the Epstein files from the American people. He wants to allow the existing redactions and withholdings to stand as a matter of law. He's saying what he has done is legally sufficient. And I am here to say, hell no, it is not."

The world needs to shut down travel to and from Russia until we get honest answers about this plague. The broken vial story makes no sense…. Unless they have absolutely no safety protocols in which case this is even worse

A moment I never expected. Meeting the 42nd President of the United States — and hearing that Bill Clinton knows SullyDawg — was pretty surreal. At 80, he’s still showing up, still engaged, and still trying to make a difference. Sometimes the journey takes you places you never imagined. Embrace it

Mike Rogers is a corporate sellout who moves back to Michigan every few years to run for office to take another swing at the revolving door of corporate politics.

Corporations spend more than $1.5B a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5B they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions. Kudos to these Autozone workers.

More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social

HUGE: Autozone workers just won the first ever union at the company. Despite Autozone spending an estimated $210,696 and using every tactic in the book to stop just 11 workers from forming a union, the small shop in New York chose to unionize today. These workers will now join the @uaw.org.

Most experts agree: diesel export ban MAY initially lower prices in SOME areas of the US, the south and midwest. But long term would backfire both in our national security (including alliances) and in price. Global Diesel prices would eventually skyrocket as a result and those prices would hit us

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

amazing -- Karl Rove lists Paxton's scandals: "The corrupt business guy gives him a fake Uber account and the records of that are now in his impeachment proceedings, so we know how often he went to have sex with Laura Olsen. I mean, can you make this shit up?"

This is correct - personal experiences of needing social services makes people, including policymakers, more opposed to imposing administrative burdens (which is how they are breaking SNAP and Medicaid) academic.oup.com/jpart/articl...

If more Senators had grown up on Medicaid and food stamps like me, they wouldn’t keep cutting our health care and raising our costs. Check out my new ad:

Today, Mayor Mamdani released 170K+ documents detailing the NYC government’s response to the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath. What did we learn? That then-Mayor Giuliani lied about how bad the air quality was, and more people likely died or were sickened as a result it.

ICE claims that nearly 70% of its arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime. In truth, the Cato Institute found that, of individuals booked into ICE custody last year between October and midway through November, three in four had no criminal conviction whatsoever.

Whoa! Pentagon officials are warning of Navy payroll shortfalls after funds meant for service member pay were raided to help cover war costs. 📌 An official says they had to use “imaginative” workarounds to avoid the shortfall.
