The media still tries desperately to ignore both Trump's lies & incompetence and the fact that he has now come out as a full-on Putin supporter & traitor to the US. It's time they acknowledged the facts that are before our eyes. #ProudBlue

Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois. Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money. Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.

Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar, with degrees from the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Columbia. 84% of Rhodes Scholars are Democrats or Independents, compared with just 14% Republicans. It’ll be great having Abdul in the Senate.

Not for nothing, but this is the upside of most Americans neither knowing nor caring what socialism is. People are broke. The people in power did this to them. So they don’t care what you call it, they just want some help.

Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

The Army awarded an artillery shell project to General Dynamics in a rushed process without the typical vetting. The result: a fiasco in a Texas factory with robots in flames and half a billion dollars in taxpayer funds that yielded no usable shells. (Published August)

Today we learned that it was a 28-year-old DOGE operative who gutted USAID, and HR had no record of him working there. Totally normal stuff.

Feeling the squeeze? Thank a Republican❗️ Raising kids costs $250K The 30-somethings are not all right. “Everyone I know around my age is feeling the weight of the burdens of this economy & what it takes to live a nice, comfortable middle-class life,” said Dan Iammatteo, 31, a marketing director.

Weak. Wrong. Investigate. If the crimes are serious enough there are two possibilities: you'll get the votes or you will be able to use the defense of Trump's corruption in every campaign against those who are defending him. This misunderstands the centrality of corruption as an issue today.

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

Ken Paxton took roughly 350 taxpayer-funded trips outside Texas as AG (25 foreign), including fleeing to Utah while millions froze in the 2021 winter storm. Security tab: $3.1 million. Now he’s jet-setting in Iceland mid-Senate race. Fiscal conservative or just self-serving?

Rubio and Trump conspired to smuggle an illegal criminal immigrant into the USA - who is without a passport and under criminal indictment for multiple crimes. Hey Markwayne here's a real criminal without any documentation. bsky.app/profile/out5...

Flávio Bolsonaro has fled Brazil after losing the presidential election to Lula and is on his way to the United States to seek asylum under Trump. He’s facing a criminal investigation and an order to surrender his passports. Apparently, coups run in the family. And in Trump’s.

The IRS got caught sharing data with ICE… Now the White House wants tax forms to ask about citizenship. Immigrants pay $97 BILLION a year in taxes. Most billionaires pay $0. But instead of focusing on rich tax cheats, they're turning your tax returns into a deportation tool. Now, go VOTE!! 😎🇺🇸✨

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

A LITTLE KARMA BECAUSE HE GAVE US THE FIRST OCCUPATION OF THE WH HOUSE THANKS TO HIS RANT AGAINST HILLARY. SOMETHING, AS THE HEAD OF THE FBI, COMEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE DONE!

How ironic that James Comey would be facing another frivolous criminal indictment by the MAGA regime for the third time and it was issued to him on Hillary Clinton’s birthday. But her damn emails, right Comey?
