Gas prices just “skyrocket” every time a “tin pot dictator decides to throw a tantrum,” explained JD Vance today at a campaign rally in Belgrade, Montana. Vance listed other historic examples, but failed to acknowledge the Iran war launched by the Trump administration.

Manchin started a PAC called Independent PAC, filling my mailbox w/mailers for Seth Bodnar. They slander the Democrat, bc they wanted her to drop out, so Bodnar could run unopposed. They did this to Dems in Alaska, Idaho & South Dakota. The SD candidate had his home set on fire, he then dropped out.

A CNN KFile review of Collins' past social media posts and interviews reveals previously unreported remarks that were part of a broader pattern of promoting January 6 conspiracy theories and suggesting extrajudicial killings of political opponents and perceived enemies. https://cnn.it/4jDxoMv

🚨“Had poultry been infected, the playbook would have been clear: The strain is so virulent that if a single chicken tests positive, the US govt requires farmers to kill the whole flock to protect other farms as well as public health...But there are no federal rules for how to deal with sick mink.”🚨

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

This should concern everyone in all 50 states. Voting machines kept trying to change votes for Marsha Blackburn. Although i voted, it simply puts an American flag on the screen, i have no proof my vote counted for who I voted for. I think this needs to be done so you know who you voted for.

We’re back with our second story about how Trump’s purge of the FBI killed a sweeping bribery probe in D.C. This time, we take you to South Carolina, where two powerful politicians escaped scrutiny: Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. James Clyburn. THREAD 👇

11/ Then President Trump returned to the White House. Almost immediately, he gutted the FBI and DOJ teams dedicated to taking on public corruption. Today, there is no one left to look into Kao’s explosive allegations. The case is dead.

Marisa's entire piece is terrific, but this part has really stuck with me. A group of College Republicans decided that El-Sayed wasn't "welcome" in the Senate and set out to stop him.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

1/ No Kings' Instagram went dark for ~90 minutes at peak mobilization today. Meta stayed silent, then admitted "a bad call." Organizers are still locked out. Ezra Levin: suspended "without explanation." Zuckerberg's platform. Remember Brazil? #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Journalist to Hegseth: “Mr. Secretary, are you Vladimir Putin’s puppet on Ukraine? Mr. Secretary, is Vladimir Putin playing you like a fiddle?” Good job, Britain! That’s how it’s done. Video: Sky News

They laughed in his stupid face and I love that for him.

Good gawd, Andy Harris is a piece of work. He’s about to lay the bullshit on REAL THICK about why diesel prices are through the roof, and his town hall audience can’t control their laughter. People know the truth. Even his own constituents are calling him out. #BlueWaveIn20Days

ICE shot someone else, this time in New York. For context, ICE is an out-of-control US paramilitary wing tasked with kidnapping people to keep corporate prisons filled so politicians can launder billions in profits back to themselves, while trafficking people across the planet.

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

ICE's expansion became a multibillion-dollar business: CoreCivic sold four facilities to DHS for $2.2B, GEO won major contracts, while Trump's investment accounts traded detention contractors and held stakes in firms benefiting from ICE spending.

Fantasizing about the nuclear destruction of blue cities is definitely Cool and Normal for a president.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

1/ A Texas woman did everything right. She's a U.S. citizen, registered to vote for years. Then a government database flagged her, and her registration vanished without warning. SCOTUS Justice Jackson tried to warn us. The Supreme Court ignored her. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Trump died and got buried at Mar-Lago. A man went to the airport and said, "I need a ticket to go piss on Trump's grave." The agent said, "Yes, sir. Here's a ticket to Los Angeles." The guy said, "Los Angeles?! But Trump's buried in Florida!" The agent said, "Yes, sir, but the back of the line..."
