Inflation eating up worker pay. Household debt and student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. 8 million people have lost healthcare the past year. 5 million people have lost food stamps — including 2 million children. And this is what he's thinking about?

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

www.thedailybeast.com//maga-senato... Failure as a football coach, idiot as a Senator, and would be an absolute disaster as a Governor... Alabama has a great choice with Doug Jones... #Blues

Alabama - talking to you! #vote #voteblue #dougjonesforalabama

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Why independent media is so needed, in one post👇🏽 Framing matters

Once again, Dunning and Kruger for the win.

Labor's share of income just hit an all-time low. That means for every dollar a company brings in, workers are taking home smaller and smaller slices. Income keeps shifting to the owners. With @svaneksmith .bsky.social https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/why-is-concentrated-wealth-a-problem

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

A sitting president doesn’t go to a safe state a month before an election. Alabama is in play, folks.

Hate to see it 😂

Southern dems are fired up and ready to elect Doug Jones for Governor in Alabama! My small town in south Alabama hosted Doug this past Friday afternoon. The turnout for a “high school football Friday” was way better than expected! #vote #voteblue #dougforalabama

One failed war isn’t good enough - Trump is now preparing for possible military action in Cuba.

A new KFF-@apnews.com survey finds rural voters’ frustrations about the cost of living are growing and appear to be chipping away at Republicans’ enthusiasm to vote in the midterm elections. Explore the survey findings and read reporting from AP and @kffhealthnews.org: https://on.kff.org/4yNL8bH

Long after Trump is gone from office as the most despised, unpopular, and disastrous president in US history, the stink of Trump will remain forever on Republican politicians and appointees who backed him every step of the way, even when they try to claim they were independent.

Alabama Dems - get out and VOTE!

There are very few levers the president actually has, but of the few that exist Trump has pulled all the ones that directly harm people. Tariffs, Iran war, Medicaid and SNAP cuts — all things that make it harder for struggling families to get by. Higher prices, higher interest rates, less help.

The most important task of democrats is not to change the minds of far-rightists — they are a minority and hard to change. The most important task of democrats is to change the minds of people who believe “the left” or “the establishment” are worse than the far right.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power.

Today's a good day to recall that antisemite Paul Ingrassia ordered CBP to give accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate his devices back last year, obstructing an investigation into child sex trafficking. www.propublica.org/article/andr...

Today, I started the day debate prepping with my team, then watched my daughter’s soccer game, went grocery shopping, watched my son’s football practice, and made us all dinner. But yeah, I’m totally a “radical lunatic.”

Via Ralph Chapoco: A state board Thursday agreed to borrow $200 million to build a men's prison in Escambia County, the latest increase in a multi-year, multibillion construction project that has exceeded the amount originally appropriated. https://ow.ly/QYri50ZGhVf

Doug Jones for Alabama Campaign HQ in rural south Alabama! We are ready for change in this state! #vote #voteblue

Although 90% of my feed is about a podcaster & the WNBA, I’m going to keep posting about the economy, Iran War, govt corruption, health care, court decisions, the military, budget & national debt, ICE, tariffs, Ag & energy policy, Epstein, elections, etc. I like to be different.

NEW: At some private schools across the U.S., every student uses taxpayer money to pay toward tuition, thanks to the growth of school voucher programs. But these "quasi-public" schools face almost none of the scrutiny given to public schools.

A big thank you to Billy Hixon and his family for having me out to their farm yesterday. Learning more about their farming operations and the legacy of the family business was really special. I’m going to keep doing all that I can in Congress to support our farmers.

Social Security is a promise. If you work hard, you can retire with dignity. For 91 years, our country has kept that promise. We must continue to.
