It's time for a change. Vote for leaders like @abdulelsayed.bsky.social and @jocelynbenson.bsky.social who will work every day to make this country better.

A strong woman standing up for another strong woman in the face of an amoral man is a wonderful sight.

If you’re unclear Amanpour’s exit from CNN after 43 years has to do with the Ellison takeover and her coverage of Israel/Gaza you’re not paying attention. Fascism is taking hold in 🇺🇸, as the Trump-friendly pro-Israel oligarchs buy up the outlets.

Polling shows Democrats could win 53–54 Senate seats — but control is still too close to call. This comes down to turnout. Period. Every Democrat needs to show up and vote like our lives, our rights, and our democracy depend on it — because they do. No complacency. No sitting this one out. VOTE.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

If you are shocked this am that Trump’s government executed a search warrant against a Democratic Member of Congress and ignored a judge’s order then you haven’t been paying attention. Stop saying this isn’t how it works in the US. It is exactly how it works under Trump.

A BFD. As people get ready to fill their heating oil tanks for the winter, they learn it will cost 80% more than last year. Your early Christmas Gift from Trump and the Republican Party is that your Christmas present budget will now go to their friends in the oil business.

Oh good. Trump always knows exactly what to do with a pandemic. What could possibly go wrong with a plague? #RepublicanHealthcareCrisis

when your country's new accord on “super intelligence” misspells the country's name

🚨 TEXAS PEEPS, CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION. A DPS screwup left voter registration applications sitting unprocessed for months. The deadline to register is October 5. Don’t find out at the ballot box that you’re not registered. CHECK IT NOW. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

"Just weeks out from midterms that are shaping up to be a bloodbath for Republicans, Trump and his minions are resorting to blaming Biden every opportunity for the fact Americans are deeply dissatisfied with the economy. But the fact of the matter is that Trump has no one to blame but himself."

NEW: ProPublica revealed that the FBI was circling Sen. Collins over a defense contractor’s donations — until Trump gutted the unit in charge. Collins has since mustered a defense with a series of incorrect and misleading claims.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

NEW: Nate Hochman was fired from the DeSantis campaign in 2023 after promoting a video with the Sonnenrad, a Nazi symbol embraced by white supremacists. He now works in Rubio's State Department, as deputy director of policy planning and chief speechwriter. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/06/u...

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

"Look at the last 3 GOP presidents. One oversaw a double-dip recession with a savings & loans scandal that looted the Treasury. That was Bush I. Another oversaw near meltdown of the whole capitalist system. That was Bush II. Then the next presided over a pandemic-driven collapse. That was Trump I."

One way to honor Dolly’s legacy: get your covid vaccine this year! www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/...

From the Empire State Building Observation Deck: Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.

Mike Collins attacks Jon Ossoff for voting against the Laken Riley Act -- a bill that Ossoff in fact voted for

🚨Multiple wars, and an overextended military, running out of vital weapons. Rising interest rates, soaring inflation, gas & food prices, skyrocketing govt. & private debt, a terrifying AI bubble, and a maniac at the helm who has driven multiple companies to bankruptcy. This is a national emergency.

He can say it however many times he wants, the fact remains that Iran is still targeting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, and the situation won’t stabilize until the administration pulls their heads out of their ass.

So we have partisan political police in the middle of a work day attending a political rally in uniform. Looks like Nuremberg in 1936.

Trump is off to his luxury golf club for the weekend. Meanwhile, U.S. sailors have spent more than 250 days at sea facing food shortages, broken plumbing, supply problems and deteriorating conditions.

Thou shalt NOT mock the sailors you’ve had on deployment for over 200 consecutive days without a break and say its “not enough” when you dodged the draft six times and called STDs your personal Vietnam and you spend all day drawing ballrooms and posting AI slop.

Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.

Yup! Don't buy into this junk.

Parnas: How much money was funneled through these banks to Epstein? Wyden: I think it’s certainly well over a billion dollars. One of the things we pointed out yesterday is that Deutsche Bank failed to properly report to the Treasury Department more than $250 million in suspicious transactions

We proved it in Wisconsin. We proved it in New York City. We proved it in dozens of special elections over the past year. People power over money!

How shocking- Collins will vote against Blanche for AG. Who does she think she's fooling at this point? Frankly, I'm pissed that she thinks we're that stupid.

A record-high 73% of U.S. adults say Trump hasn't paid enough attention to the country's most important problems, a new CNN poll finds. Just 27% say he's had the right priorities.

The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Chris Hayes: Sen. Bernie Moreno spent his morning raging at Anthony Fauci. But if you ask him about the Republican colleague who’s accused of holding a gun to his own daughter's head, he has no comment.

Listen to HCR!

Rand Paul is a fraud. He founded his own ophthalmology certification board, the National Board of Ophthalmology (NBO), with his wife and father-in-law as officers. His “board” isn’t recognized by the major specialty board organization or accepted by most hospitals.

Have you noticed the tributes to Lindsey Graham don't cite any actual legislative accomplishments that benefited his constituents? It's a lot of "he was a strong voice" & "got along with everyone"- generic stuff you could say about anyone. His actual legacy is fluffing Trump & reckless war-mongering

Hallelujah!

This should be a much bigger story!

Fox Propaganda continues to attack American hero Dr. Fauci by calling him a liar. Fox Propaganda literally had to pay out $787M for lying.

Sleepy Don dozing off again in public in the middle of the afternoon at Lindsey’s service.

The legacy media is reconsidering the White House Correspondence dinner because Trump insulted them. What they don't get is that they insulted their viewers and readers by attending in the first place. Support independent media that doesn't suck up to Trump whether he is nice to them or not.

Here’s something new: The same day he’s due to get a cmte vote on his nom to be AG, Blanche has to respond to a court order from a judge who seems skeptical of his truthfulness. And that’s just Thursday. Read this piece to see what else to expect in the week ahead. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Yeah, but Trump and Hegseth love watching the videos of people getting blown up on small boats and they provide Fox content.

Donald Trump is nearly incoherent as he addresses an adoring White House press corp. This is an embarrassment for the White House and a humiliating display by the legacy media in the room. Support independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. demdock.com/4w6emld

Nobody in the U.S. Senate is more responsible for the overturning of Roe v. Wade than Susan Collins. In November, we will defeat her.

the fuck is wrong with this guy
