We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

After having burned his bridges in California, Elon is now burning his bridges in Texas. Dear shareholders, what is the common element here?

The richest man in the world, y’all. The largest Republican $$ donor ever. A serial liar, disassociative drug addict and semen-dispenser. Racist, fraud, transphobe, bully, shitty father, shitty partner, and all around terrible person.

Every generation of humans imagines it (re)invented humor, sex, music, etc. But the reality is humans have been humanning since the first humans humanned. Hmm, I rather like making it a verb. Should it be one n or two?

One thing that indicates this is real, deliberate tampering , is that it only appears to be happening in swing states or even tight districts, not everywhere those same systems are used.

California Dreamin’… 😎@jerasikehorn.bsky.social

BREAKING: Early voters in several states say their touchscreen ballots registered a different candidate than the one they selected, fueling a wave of complaints as midterm voting continues ahead of the November 3rd election…👇 The CHEATING has just begun… Be on guard. NOW, GO VOTE!! 😎🇺🇸✨

TRUMP: We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages. TRUMP LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER: If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn't be coming out right now.

Wow, calling Putin a humanitarian is absolutely bonkers

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

I have one. I'm an American refugee living in Sydney.

The number of Americans who apparently have a *specifically designated* bottle of champagne somewhere in their home is absolutely shocking

They didn't arrest him, when you are arrested, you get due process. They assaulted him and kidnapped him.

Rep. Jimmy Gomez@gomez.house.gov

He was a Long Beach city employee for almost a decade and has no reported criminal record, but none of that mattered to Trump’s ICE agents. In Trump’s America, if you simply look like Ricardo, if you look like me, they’ll arrest you and throw you to the ground.

One thing not common in Australia are fruit pies. Oz has amazing savory meat pies, but not so much on the sweet. No matter, I made my own berry pie.

And maybe as a follow-up, how is yet another bailout NOT socialist redistribution of wealth?

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

If you’re a billionaire tech oligarch he’s not wrong Maybe someone should ask why he announced an $8 Billion farmer bailout today if this is true? 🤷🏼 👩‍🌾

I really hope we don't forget about this regime, the people, and the corruption. If we do, we are destined to repeat it.

Maybe also ask Tommy if he even lives in Michigan?

Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social

The “every accusation is a confession” thing is maybe overstated but when it comes to Republicans and “sharia” it is unquestionably the case that the people trying to impose their religion on others through the legal system in the US are not Muslims bsky.app/profile/qasi...

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

awaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

Americans for Tax Fairness@4taxfairness.bsky.social

Before Citizens United, the top 15 political contributors spent just $15 million on the midterm election. Now, the top 15 have spent $962 MILLION. That's up 6,400%. THIS is why our system is so rigged. We really, really have to end Citizens United and tax the rich.
