🚨 Rep. Jamie Raskin tells @askdinadoll.bsky.social that Democrats are going big for the midterms:
“We are mobilizing for a LANDSLIDE. We are not mobilizing for a squeaker. We are mobilizing for a COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION of the political landscape and what's going on in government.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin on what Democrats will do FIRST if they take back Congress:
“First you got to put out the fire that's still going. People are still in danger.”
“Millions of people have been thrown off of their health care, their Medicaid, their ACA tax credits. We got to restore all of that.”
Raskin: “Donald Trump, he's now out of the closet. I mean, he's absolutely a collaborator with Vladimir Putin and Erdogan and, you know, the other despots of the world against democracy and human rights.”
Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power.
We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.
FACT CHECK: Overdose deaths began falling in 2022. They PLUNGED 26% from 2023–24.

This is racist as fuck.
Ilhan Omar is an American citizen. She was elected by Americans to represent Americans in the United States Congress.
Trump smears the country where she was born, mocks how she came here, and uses it to suggest she doesn’t belong.
She belongs.
The Trump administration has signed an oil deal with a Venezuelan energy baron who has faced money-laundering investigations in three countries.
ProPublica reviewed a copy of the 18-page agreement.
After being released, the injured student made his way to school, where staff called an ambulance. School officials reported cuts, bruises, and a wrist injury requiring surgery. ICE claims he resisted and “never requested medical assistance.” He was described as NONVERBAL.
This is absolutely horrible! A nonverbal student with special needs was walking to Santa Maria High School when ICE agents tackled him, restrained him, and left him with a broken wrist requiring surgery, according to witnesses and school officials.
TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny.
He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers.
From the ProPublica archives:
“You said you don’t call people fascists...You called Anthony Fauci a fascist multiple times on Twitter.”
“Yeah, the fascist gnome.”
