Maga voters being casual about how they still love the guy haven’t thought it through. They mistake their ignorance for their friend

Trump promised to rescue the Kennedy Center, but disputed texts involving Natalie Harp and his team are fueling cover-up claims as one congresswoman fights to expose what happened behind closed doors. https://atlantablackstar.pulse.ly/amrdkqddv3

Dr. Richard Pan is the candidate who will stand up for working families in CA-6.

I'm introducing the Truth and Accounability Commission to hold the Trump administration and Trump family accountable for their crimes. No one is above the law.

Please help disgruntled Maga voters and disappointed idealists understand that not voting, in protest of bad policy; it’s not a clever punishment, or rebellion, it’s surrendering your power, to incompetence, corruption, thievery, nazis, and mayhem. Vote Blue to defeat Nazis ripping you off

I know who I’m fighting for because I know who Texas belongs to.

Thwaites is a runaway climate disaster. New studies show how.

The state's Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Office says 732 Indigenous Minnesotans were reported missing in 2025. Families, allies and community gathered on Saturday in Bemidji to remember and to honor them.

I'm going to say this for probably the 20th time now .... Comey was an Original Classification Authority at the time he allegedly disseminated the national defense information at issue here. Assuming it was FBI information, he had the authority to declassify it at his discretion.

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

🚨 A bombshell new House Judiciary Democrats report details allegations from 11 women linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, including five who accuse Trump of sexual assault. The report also alleges a sweeping DOJ cover-up. We broke down the explosive findings.

1/ If we need another sign the U.S. is going backward in health, here it is. Measles cases in the U.S. have now topped 4,500 this year, which is the highest annual case count since 1991. Cases are still climbing, so let's break down what’s happening and what comes next. 🧵

I mean, I’m sorry, but Trump pretending like Obama was being not smart is fucking funny as hell

Brilliant.

a reasonable society would have removed him long ago, if for no other reason because nothing he says is either functionally correct or professionally credible

A federal judge just ruled Trump’s DOJ illegally fired Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey! The judge rejected the administration’s sweeping claims of executive power and ordered back pay. The presidency is not a licence to ignore the law. #USDemocracy

One of the foundations of a functioning democracy is an informed, engaged electorate. That's why I introduced the Teaching Engaged Citizenship Act to expand civic education in our public schools and prepare the next generation of leaders. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

When we say “Trump owns this war,” we don’t just mean politically. He’s literally profiting off it—to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. The next time he says high gas prices are “a small price to pay," remember: 🟢 Trump’s not paying for it 🟢 The longer it drags on, the more money he makes

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

interesting

Same for Americans but bet he won’t admit it

Trump and Republicans are restarting their voter fraud misinformation machine ahead of the midterms. When I checked, Republican candidates were implicated in voter fraud at up to 38,000x the public’s rate. If they were actually worried about voter fraud, they’d start with their own candidates.

Americans have paid more for their gasoline and diesel at the pump on average during President Donald Trump's second term than they did ‌under his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden, according to the AAA reut.rs/4ipsW1P

the constant drumming of immigrants as threat is also used to keep citizens from realizing how close they are to being closed in, making them think everyone wants to be where they are, when healthcare, public spaces and services, education, and tourism now are better most everywhere else

Newsom is also proposing measures to compensate people whose jobs are replaced by robots

With historic drops in crime across California, we're doubling down on our proven California Model — both accountability and rehabilitation. At Corcoran State Prison, we're introducing a new staff-led housing community to better prepare individuals to return to their community.

University of Pennsylvania professor Zeke Hernandez studied one particular aspect of the “ICE tax” — the price paid by local businesses and communities in the aftermath of ICE activity and arrests, events that are often sudden, public, and violent.

In Brazil, it appears that voters who opted for eliminated first-round candidates roughly broke even in the runoff (even if the candidates leaned right). But the big difference was: Millions of voters who cast 'null' or 'blank' ballots in the first round then voted for Lula.
