The oligarchs are spending crap tonnes of money trying to influence the election, when that amount could reduce our deficit, and fund Medicare for all! Plus more!!

CORRUPTIONLAND is a propulsive, 35-minute documentary that reveals for the first time the full extent of the rot in Trump’s Washington

Keep in mind, he spent a year living in Iraq in a noncombat role as a Public Affairs officer in 2005-6, back when he was going under the name James David Hamel, the third of his four aliases. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Mike Rogers believes in government of the billionaires, by the corporations, and for the special interests.

Join Elissa Slotkin and me for a canvass launch in Jackson on Thursday, October 29th!

Michigan, let's make history in nine days.

An incredible morning in Michigan with my colleague @mcdonaldrivet.bsky.social, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, @donavanmckinney.bsky.social, & @nationalnurses.bsky.social! Vote Nov 3 to get money out of politics, pass Medicare for All, and put money back in your pockets.

Vast amounts of money in politics are fine as long as they don't succeed 100% of the time.

The toxic influencer who has made "hyper-masculinity" his brand was arresting wearing Doris Day clam-digger slacks and a kicky purple blouse.

The orange felon is threatening Canada with more tariffs because of wildfire smoke drifting to the US. For context, Canada sent fire crews to the US when Southern California was being ravaged by catastrophic blazes. He’s a piece of shit. Sending love to our Canadian friends. 🇨🇦

What we are witnessing now are the deadly consequences of their refusal to demand accountability, and it is completely unacceptable. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

In just the last few days, two people were fatally shot by federal immigration agents, and a third person was struck and killed by a truck while fleeing agents.   ICE briefly paused the vehicle stops at the center of the crisis until Trump demanded they resume.

AOC on Susan Collins touting the money she got for body cameras and ICE training in the DHS bill. “Senator Collins wrote the blank check to allow these officers to conduct themselves in the way that they have in Maine in the first place, and she's the one who's poured resources into it.”

As A Canadian, I am once again asking @mark-carney.bsky.social to expel the USA Ambassador. Enough of this bullshit

Whether they literally kill them in cold blood, or kill them by forcing them into the inhuman conditions of their detention centers...it's all murder. They must be held accountable.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

Jacob Soboroff’s interview with Salgado Araujo’s son is just heart-wrenching. And the murderers are being protected by the goddamned US Department of “Justice.”

The autumn of 2023 was far enough from the US 2024 elections to allow the Biden administration to think this clearly. They didn't want to. And they facilitated the destruction of Gaza. No one that served in a policy position in that admin should be ever in a position of power. 4/4

So the person vouching that Mitch is alive and lucid is the well-known truth teller Scott Jennings who also wants his seat.

So now millions of football fans around the world view the US as cheaters who used political corruption to influence FIFA and we lose anyway. So much winning. When’s the next war?

The Trump family is getting richer while everyday Americans struggle. We have not seen this kind of blatant corruption in any Administration or any Presidency in the history of our country. Oversight Democrats are investigating.

Bill Maher has now blown Trump and JD. Strange behavior for a liberal.

He really is good at this. Say what you will...he's meeting people where they are.

Grimly amusing Dem machines think they deserve some sort of entitlement hierarchy. My entire life, everything has been moving backwards, politically, democratically, bureaucratically, judicially. You are all failures. You are presumptively part of the rot that must be removed down to the root.

Mamdani is doing something Establishment and Corporate Democrats are groomed to never do. He's flexing his power and not apologizing. He is doing it on behalf of a majority that is sick and tired of the status quo. They'll do everything to try and stop him.

This is a fight between the volunteers of the Democratic Party and the consultant/billionaire class of the Democratic Party. That's what it is.

Zohran Mamdani appears to have went 3 for 3 today where his endorsed candidates all won their primary nominations. Here is the harsh truth, more progressive candidates are laser focused on eco-populist message that resonates and motivates people. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

I earn my living through tech platforms now, and when I look at the deductions taken by the Very Worst People On Earth from my earnings for doing the square root of fuck all (“platform fee”) compared to what I do (all of it) and realise this money just vanishes, it makes taxes seem rather noble.

Do you think he's "the boss?"

Does Nobel have a prize category for starting a war, surrendering quickly, then paying a fortune in reparations?

I've been covering Trump as a presidential historian for a decade. The presser he just gave was the most incoherent he's ever given. It's clear he knew that if at any point he answered any question—or conceded a single fact—he'd admit that he just surrendered to Iran. My God.

They're going after Newsom's wife for "self-dealing" because she worked with charities that had business before the state. If Dems or the media even entertain the idea that this is a big problem in light of the fact that the Trumps are *stealing the country blind* I am going to lose it.

Elon Musk is the grotesque byproduct of a capitalist order that converts inequality into virtue and exploitation into spectacle. The hyped-news about the world's first trillionaire is in reality about the power of class privilege, and the corrupting forces that give life to gangster capitalism.

Julia Roberts: Renee Nicole Goode is not a symbol. She is an American woman, a queer woman who was doing the very best she could do to be good in an unjust world. And I am honored to celebrate her life and her legacy tonight, because the life she gave is our responsibility to carry.

When democracy is tested, we need leaders who fight back! Melissa Chaudhry took on the federal government & won! “When you stand up to bullies, they fold.” #SheShed #VoteMelissa4Congress #CareCourageConstitution WA-9 • U.S. House 2026 VoteMelissa4Congress.com

I’m humbled and proud to officially be your Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate to take on Susan Collins and the billionaire class she represents. Together, we will win this seat back for working Mainers Thank you, Maine.

We must defeat Susan Collins and take back this Senate seat for the working people of Maine. Polls close at 8PM.

A Republican lie can travel halfway around the world before Democrats can look at their boots, ask themselves whether they should put them on, then pivot to affordability.
