Do you know how bad the abuse has to be for a judge to remove kids from their birth mother? Just saw Amy Acton’s CNN interview about that Ramaswamy ad and , listen, I lived in NC through the Willie Horton ad era. I’m not precious. This is so disgusting that I wish I believed in hell. I really do.

There's a clear choice in this race: Do you want a pro-choice Senator, or another yes vote for Trump's anti-abortion agenda? In the Senate, I'm going to fight to restore abortion access, and I'm grateful for everyone who joined us today to talk to their neighbors about the choice in this race.

Donald Trump hates me and Republicans think I am the enemy. Trolls and critics can say what they want, but they should know that I wear their scorn as a badge of honor. As FDR said, “I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.”

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

These questions have now been asked of Blanche repeatedly & he gives the same bullshit answer each time. Here’s an idea: How about we ask Blanche direct and pointed questions about his noncompliance with court orders from Judge Sullivan compelling him to provide unredacted Epstein Files?

WELKER: Can you pledge the DOJ will always act independently of the WH? BLANCHE: No, I'm not going to pledge that WELKER: So if the president asked you do to something that you feel crosses an ethical or legal line, would you do it? BLANCHE: He would never do that. He never has. He never will.

*Stacy Keach voiceover* What happened to men? You used to be tough and stoic. Now you drive around in loud, bulky trucks like you're scared. Get a real truck. An electric truck. One that's got more bed than seat space. One that's not ten feet off the ground. It's time to man up again

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight. This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.

Thanks for including me on your list, @markjacob.bsky.social. An honor. I hope everyone adds these fighters to their list of who to follow.

We’re in scary times, but lots of folks in media are doing their damnedest to defend democracy. My Stop the Presses newsletter praises 25 of them and also cites other fierce fighters. See if you agree.

Deranged chaos agent RFK Jr has rapidly helped to infect the United States with more deadly diseases and food-borne illnesses than seen in the last two decades. Just him deliberately destroying the Health System alone should be considered an act of treason. He’s a psychopath.

It's not about one US Senate seat. It's about all of us together. It's about a belief that we can take our government back from the very people who want to monetize us at every turn. The fomentors of inequality. The drivers of war and genocide and apartheid. We get to decide.

I think it's bad that we're led by conspiracy theorists who are attacking an 85-year-old public health expert who tried to save our lives because they think they might go viral

New York City should have the best buses in the world. That’s our goal. But the first step is incredibly important: hearing from New Yorkers in the neighborhoods where these big infrastructure changes will be made.

We have a president pocketing billions with a crypto scam, while Susan Collins became a multi-millionaire, funneling taxpayer dollars to her husband and profiting off stock trades while in office. Enriching yourself through public office should be a crime.
