A Haaretz survey shows that Israeli broadcast media are completely dominated by Netanyahu and Likud, platforming him 3 times more often than Eisenkot, who leads in the polls. Channel 14 is the Rupert Murdoch News feed, offering all Bibi, all the time. Netanyahu rules the airwaves in Israel.

Latest piece. If the Dems take control of Congress, the first investigation (after corruption) has to be about the use of AI in US warfare.

When the next US Congress investigates corruption, Trump's oil-deal-of-the-century with Alejandro Betancourt, the face of Venezuelan corruption, should be top of its list. Two kleptocracies working together. Brilliant essay by @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social is simply 1 of the greatest, most inspirational candidates to emerge in years, running against Ken Paxton, one of the most disgracefully corrupt politicians of all-time. So the Texas GOP responds by doing what comes naturally to them, of course: CHEATING! 🤮

Thank you to the USPS whistleblower. May your courage be contagious.

Massachusetts: Today is your primary election! Following the lead of our local organizers, we’ve endorsed Patrick Roath’s people-powered campaign in MA-08. This safe blue seat is currently represented by a corporate-backed Dem who voted against the Affordable Care Act and for the Laken Riley Act.

🚨EMERGENCY EPISODE: A bombshell whistleblower complaint, submitted to Sen. Richard Blumenthal's office, reveals that the U.S. Postal Service allegedly kept building a new system to restrict mail-in ballots even after federal courts ordered it to stop it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySb4...

Trump and his enablers will try everything in their power to rig the midterms and cling to control by minority rule. We’re not going to panic or give the fascists power that they don’t really have. What we’re going to do is defeat the regime’s election sabotage with preparation and people power. 🧵

It’s time to get into election protection formation. Our upcoming trainings will cover the many actions you can take to ensure every eligible voter is able to cast their ballot, every vote is counted, and the election results are honored.

Trump shouts out Dell, Micron, and Apple (Trump holds tens of millions of dollars in stock in these 3 companies)

The call is coming from inside the White House, @jd-vance-1.bsky.social. Trump is awarding contracts to family-connected companies, charging Secret Service agents to stay overnight at his properties, and making billions off his office. The Trump Administration's corruption is off the charts.

URGENT: The Senate might vote on a bill THIS WEEK that would turbocharge Trump’s corruption.

On Tuesday, the Trump Admin announced they were ending the Medicare Part D subsidy program. Touching the third rail of politics is a heckuva strategy going into midterms (part D open enrollment starts 10/15). My latest analysis for @msnowreports.bsky.social. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory of the Coming of the Midterms. We will prevail, and there will be accountability for these MAGA crooks. (Inspired by the cover of The Atlantic magazine.)

EXCLUSIVE: California Dems are ramping up their campaign against a nationally-watched voter ID initiative in the state, with gubernatorial frontrunner Xavier Becerra leading a new effort to quash the measure.

A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.
