The next time a family trip to the grocery store costs $500, or a tank of gas runs you over $100, or you can't afford your mortgage or rent, remember that your president is hard at work... [checks notes]... comparing people's asses.

Lula’s surprise comeback comes after weeks of student-led organizing and campaigning on his behalf, and amid accusations that U.S.-based tech companies were suppressing Lula’s reach online in favor of his Trump-aligned opponent.

Trump detests the free enterprise system. He believes in a Soviet-style command economy with total government control. He favors foreign trade based on bribery. He opposes competition. That's why, when a foreign country like Taiwan manufactures a product, Trump says they're "stealing" our business.

Trump: "Look, if we had smart presidents, the Taiwan problem with China wouldn't exist. Nobody would care. They stole our chip business. All of it. 100 percent."

Why I've become such a big fan of Senator Jon Ossoff: He's really good at this and he goes after Trump every... single... day.

Ossoff says Trump is coming to Georgia today “to wallow in his failure and disgrace”

Sen. Jon Ossoff said it on Thursday: "It is like a kaleidoscopic spectacle of corruption unlike anything we’ve ever seen in the history of our republic.”

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

This is a reason to AVOID Medicare Advantage which should be considered CORPORATE health care! They can deny coverage where traditional Medicare won't. MA draws people in w/free gym memberships, which ensures they're getting the healthiest customers. They save on the back end by denying care!!!😡😡😡

Deb McAlister Holland@debmcalister.bsky.social

Our Medicare Advantage plan from Humana just denied coverage for a 3-day hospital stay because my husband’s bowel Blockage was resolved without surgery and therefore wasn’t serious enough to require in-patient care. The bill is more than our annual social security income.

It doesn't matter if 6M or 8M people attended the #NoKings rallies on October 17th. . . What matters is that these #GetOutTheVote events had absolutely no comparable nationwide mobilization from Republicans. Now let's turn that energy into votes and #FlipTheHouseAndSenateBlue Below: Los Angeles

This moment will live in infamy. The United States of America has in every possible way just formally kowtowed and bent the knee, surrendering all authority and leadership to OUR GREATEST ENEMY SINCE 1945. Not "they're back." There has been NO CEASEFIRE IN ALL THOSE YEARS. We have vouintarily

Read that again. "Big Money, Dark Money, SuperPACs, Aipac, corporations, tech bros, crypto and AI is going ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY to the REPUBLICANS." This is our literal final battle, last chance against all odds strike against LITERAL EVIL.

First.The narrative that diesel prices in America are heavily impacted by Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries is completely fabricated. ​Second.The sanctions waiver Trump just granted to Russia is using the fabricated narrative above to make it look like it's in America's national interest.

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Saw ANOTHER person say my indictment was the best thing to happen to my campaign. Let me be clear: It severely limited what I could say, where I could go, and what I could do. I had to worry about prison AND legal fees for myself AND my (amazing) field director. Political prosecutions aren’t fun.

holy shit ... y'all stay safe! if you don't know the DUCK method, learn it - and take bicycle helmets, shoes, band blankets with you into your shelter.

Thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds and perhaps a tornado or two are expected across parts of the Mid-Atlantic into southern New England, mainly this afternoon and early evening. Find the latest outlooks at spc.noaa.gov and the latest watches and warnings at weather.gov.

The MAGAts got SATISFACTION from seeing people they hate treated with cruelty by our government. Sick, mentally disturbed people voted for exactly that. They knew all the good stuff Trump talked about was BS. But MAGAts knew they could take Trump's racism to the bank!

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵
