Where is McConnell? Did we just move on? @govandybeshear.bsky.social
Why is it on we the people? I’ll bet if wages were raised so the income gap wasn’t so vast, if snap was paid for, and billionaires and corps taxed responsibly were the pissed of people would have more to spend. If we’re not spending, they’re not earning. Stop being fooled.
Shout it loud and clear. Release the E files! Even not for victims & justice, then for Katie Phang’s income stream! Not dissing Katie’s lawsuit-obviously she’s fighting the good fight, I’m happy for its product, regardless& she brilliantly uses the law. Does it always have to be about $$ with us?
A federal judge has just ordered DOJ to turnover five categories of items from the Epstein Files that it previously failed to disclose by July 2 in a lawsuit brought by Katie Phang. Read the details here: joycevance.substack.com/p/finally-a-...

Russell Vought is an evil man. This plan is nothing short of a personal take-over of federal grant making. It will affect ALL of us. Political commissars will now be in charge of all agencies, reporting to him. But we are not powerless. See what you can do below. 1/ www.thenation.com/article/poli...

These monsters are inhumane to the core. My rant is in the comments
NEW: A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits.

Let’s get the vacuum out. No more sweeping under the rug!
Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
I just witnessed Jamil Jaffar on MSNOW explicitly misrepresent the position of people who are anti Israeli politics as being pro Hamas and implicitly accused us of being antisemetic. ENOUGH of that BS. There was another on who adeptly refuted that position without anger, which I could not have done.

If only there were like an opposing political party in the United States who would do literally anything to fight back against the President saying he's going to commit genocide. If only something like that existed. But no, instead we have @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov. Great.

Just going to throw this out there, Jaime Raskin, FYI - our tent is not big enough to invite everyone in.
Redemption without contrition. Reconciliation without truth. It's what America has always done with the right-wing going back to the Civil War...more recently the War on Terror...and now with triple Trumpers who will magically "see the light" and jump off the ship like rats.

The administration is trying to aggressively escalate its coercive power over the American people.
Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?

Must watch! The amazing @joycewhitevance.bsky.social is joining the show tomorrow morning. Definitely there will be talk of law, politics, and her best-selling book GIVING UP IS UNFORGIVABLE. Maybe there will be chickens. www.youtube.com/live/OHnQR7W...
The debate is over. The people have voted. Will the Dems listen? So far, a week after the elections, the answer is no.
Ever since the reasonable woman lost to an autocrat wannabe, the Democrats have been going through another painful round of debate: Should the party move to the center or adopt a more progressive stance? But with the election results last week, the debate is over. Or, at least, it should be.
All of this. For the prosperity to trickle down we need to fix the hole at the top
Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

The short text message, despite sounding like it was written by a 60 year old, manages to plug every hole in the investigation in the most convenient and expeditious manner, all meant to be a live exchange in the panicked aftermath of an assassination. It's not conspiratorial to say it looks fake.
