“Donald Trump’s treachery was predictable and predicted. Even so, watching him throwing a financial lifeline to Putin as the monstrous mob boss murders Ukrainians is sick-making stuff.
The president’s “October Suprise” was a stab in the back.”

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.
Report on the stakes, not the horse race. False equivalencies. Biased headlines that bury the lede. Sloppy reporting that repeats canned talking points. Sanewashing. Reporting lies that a newsworthy person said. The American press is failing…again. margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/how-you-ca...
This megalomaniac owns the Starlink satellite system the US depends on for our country’s defense. The risk of handing our national security over to Elon Musk is insane.
@jrakove.bsky.social This great piece is even more impt after today's outrageous decision on voting & elections. Roberts & his five fellow radical partisan hacks rewrite or ignore history & the vision of the framers to fit their own ideological & partisan views. t.co/iWQMMGUU4I
I'm running as a corporate-free candidate because I'm tired of sell-out politicians. Our campaign is completely funded by people like you. If you're tired too, chip in to help get us Congress. randy.voteyoutube.com/shorts/DmRd5...
The guy who did such an incredible job with the Reflecting Pool, Ballroom, Kennedy Center, National Mall, and Great American Fair is going to redesign our warships. What could go wrong?
Stephen Miller deserves to spend the rest of his natural life fighting a legal system charging him of crimes he didn't commit in a language he does not speak, alone, and without counsel:

Every fancy get-out-the-vote tech in the world can't beat the oldest organizing tool we've got: talking to your friends. Democracy isn't an app — it's people talking to people. Wild, right? azmirror.com/2026/08/14/t...
I’m doing a series of posts over on my Substack about holding Todd Blanche accountable for enabling Donald Trump’s corrupt and illegal agenda. The first is a deep dive on who Blanche is and what damage he has done. The next will outline accountability steps we can take. youtube.com/shorts/IFn6E...
Why lifting the gas tax is stupid and will enrich oil companies, while costing consumers MORE (supply & demand, the market working as it always does). Never worked. Never will. newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/a-gas-tax-...
A $1.8 billion bribery bucket, funded by us. To pay off Jan. 6 thugs. To reward law-breakers. To lure anyone to commit crimes on behalf of DJT & win the lottery. We'll never know who's paid, or be able to reclaim $ for fraud. It's insane. This should be a headline EVERY DAY. @indivisible.org
We don’t know what the future holds for our democracy, but we do know that we follow in the footsteps of patriotic Americans who also did not know what the future held and yet they organized anyway. It’s our turn now.
“White House turns to rhetorical leaps”—@NYTimes that’s a creative new way to describe lying. Kudos on expanding the lexicon of avoiding what we can see with our own eyes. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...
NEW POST: “We’re 250. It’s time we made the case for core American values. We can unite our fights for economic fairness, freedom and equality under the common narrative of making our country live up to it’s potential – to become what it was always supposed to be... 1/5
The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.
The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
I'm kind of fascinated by that big Lauren Sanchez Bezos feature in the Times. There's just nothing going on there at all, no insight or conflict or notable color, so the hook is just "this unfathomably rich but otherwise fatuous person enjoys their lifestyle a great deal." Fantastic stuff.
Thank you, Gov. Hobbs, for vetoing SB 1142, which would have forced Arizona into the uncapped, unaccountable federal voucher program. We’re grateful our state has a leader who puts public education first! 🍎🎉
In November, we’re going to win back the House, the Senate, governorships, and state legislatures across our country.
And we’re going to build the largest midterm margins against the incumbent party that our nation has ever seen.
Please support our nationwide organizing work to make it all happen.
Péter Magyar’s victory in Hungary’s election would not only break Viktor Orbán’s 16-year hold on power, but could also reshape Budapest’s role in Europe.
Yet even among those backing the opposition leader’s bid, he remains a deeply polarizing figure.
🔗 politico.eu/article/pete...
Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime

BREAKING NEWS: Pathetic and Grotesque Authoritarian Putin Stooge Orban Tossed Out of Power As Pathetic and Grotesque Authoritarian Putin Stooge Trump Remains in Power
holy shit he actually conceded
folks, they tell you they’re invincible
they tell you they’re inevitable
they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting
and absolutely none of that is true
I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.
Calvin Duncan, a man imprisoned for 30 years before he was exonerated, won an election in New Orleans promising to fix a judicial system that failed him
Now, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and the GOP-controlled Legislature are racing to eliminate his job before he can be sworn in
"Give her credit...she's willing to just say what she thinks and everyone else is busy dancing around, pulling their punches... The people who've left are often the clearest eyed."
Bill Kristol and Tim Miller on how Trump defectors often end up sounding a lot like The Bulwark.
Honestly cannot think of a time I knew less what was going to happen at court than I feel ahead of oral arguments on birthright citizenship tomorrow.
The fact that this is getting a full hearing instead of a 9-0, per curiam, benchslap is already beyond disturbing.

"All this time Putin had, and still has, a mole in all European and NATO official meetings. If the integrity of these meetings is to be maintained, it would be appropriate to ban Hungary from all of them. Every generation has a Kim Philby”

Dems, you might not have power within the rules and regulations of Congress, but what can you do outside of Congress? You have contacts. You can organize. You can go on cable news. You can hold town halls. You can do bus tours. You can make your presence known. You can deliver message to the people.
Term limits do nothing good for governance or democracy, and harm it in many very important ways. They’re probably the worst institutional innovation America has tried in the post war era.
patiently explaining to national political reporters that the people who organize No Kings are also doing the daily advocacy, voter registration, mutual aid, and immigrant defense, and that just because the cameras show up for the big crowd does not mean that work did not exist before and after
Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵:
These protests are important b/c:
1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.
Donald J. Trump remains President of the United States of America because Republicans find raping children less offensive than taxing billionaires.
