Elon Musk has spent at least $276 million since July to boost Republican candidates, a record-breaking sum.
That’s just 0.028% of his total net worth.
Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so.
We must get Big Money out of politics.
Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."
Hey Trump – stop scapegoating President Zelenskyy. You and your puppet-masters Putin and Netanyahu started wars – and it's you three who are responsible for dramatically increased gas and diesel prices, not Zelenskyy. It's you three who are responsible for the deaths of innocents, not Zelenskyy.
Darline Graham admits to prioritizing people in DC rather than South Carolina, and then refuses another debate:
I've been working hard representing the people in Washington. That's more important than standing here on the debate stage.
Rachel Maddow: Trump’s schedulers send him to the reddest parts of the country, and protesters show up anyway. I love that refusal to fall in line. Paint the whole damn map red. You still don’t own our voices, streets, or our right to tell you no. Take that to the ballot box!

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man.
The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!"
Agents didn't help him.
And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.
This lady was canvassing for Greg Abbott in Texas when she asked a homeowner if she could count on his support in the upcoming election. Then the fun begins.
ProPublica designed a reporting experiment to demonstrate how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money.
We succeeded in opening two schools. No credentials or background checks required.
The ICE agent seen brandishing an AR-15 at the scene of yesterday’s shooting in NYC’s Marble Hill has a record of lying, excessive force & getting caught by judges. He also goes by “Shooter Cuni” on social media, & posts the same gun he had on him today

NEW: ICE agent in a high-viz vest holding a rifle at the scene of shooting near the Bronx has a history of allegedly lying, using excessive force, and courts have found his arrests unlawful. @dmehro.bsky.social@awinston.bsky.social, @regret.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-ag...
Nothing to see here...just the President of the United States inviting the country he illegally declared war on to "take out" 2 major American cities. If that's not treason, what is? 🤬 Law enforcement won't hold him accountable, but we WILL! The beginning of the end is on November 3rd. #VOTE-BLUE 🌊
Not sure if the point of Angela Paxton’s video was to cause people to search Angela Paxton’s name only to find out that she helped facilitate Ken Paxton’s corruption for many years before ultimately filing to divorce him on “biblical grounds”, but that’s what happened.
It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.
Trump/GOP’s corruption, reckless war of choice in Iran, tariffs, tax cuts to billionaires, embrace of AI & data centers cost Americans from the rural heartland to the cities! It’s pushed the cost of basic necessities, groceries, & healthcare through the roof! Vote the price jacking Trump/GOP out!!!
The majority of the UN walked out on Netanyahu in protest for the ongoing genocide Israel is committing against Palestine in Gaza and the West Bank. The US, Ethiopia, and Nigeria among a very few that loudly cheered trying to hype the criminal.
“Vote like your life depends on it.” Jenifer Lewis says it with her whole chest because clean air, Medicare, safe water, and basic accountability are on the line.
They want us tired and quiet.
Get loud.
Get registered.
Vote blue like hell.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.

LAPD cops working for ICE contractors off duty — while the department fights to keep its moonlighting records hidden.
That is the accusation now being leveled directly at LAPD leadership after a judge ordered the records turned over.
L - Tom Emmer in 2024 on the House subpoenaing Hunter Biden.
R - Tom Emmer today on why the House shouldn’t investigate Don Jr: He’s a private citizen.
Idea: no corporate welfare, subsidies, or government contracts for corporations whose employees need to rely on government assistance because of low wages.
CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%.
CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
