Important information on whether your member of Congress is taking on corruption or not:

“Defend the Vote, a progressive PAC focused on protecting voting access, has driven much of this messaging. The group began briefing top Democrats in Washington and candidates in competitive House races last year on why they should prioritize a message linking affordability to corruption.”

Yes. My tax dollars should keep people alive. Insulin is a necessity, not a luxury. Healthcare IS a human right, NOT a privilege for those who can afford it.

Imposing 18-year term limits for justices would improve the Supreme Court by ensuring no single person has generational power, by giving each president two appointments per four-year term, and by lowering the stakes of the confirmation process. bit.ly/47DWAuZ

Trump suggested tonight that Iran could "take out" American cities: "It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take— let it, let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

Trump and Stephen Miller’s ICE is out of control. Alex Pretti, a brave American and nurse, was protecting his community when ICE agents shot and killed him. Stephen Miller then tried to smear his name and lie about his death. What else is he lying about?

Today at his rally, the President of the United States said this about Iran. "Let them take out Los Angeles or San Diego. This is a very small price to pay." No American city is a small price to pay. No American life is.

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."

Let’s be clear: The President is advocating for an attack on 10+ million U.S. residents in two of America’s largest cities. This is not normal. None of this is. And we will continue to remind folks of that every day.

Trump on Iran: Let 'em take out Los Angeles and San Diego, it's a small price to pay

In what looked like an unscripted moment during his speech in Nebraska Trump said it would be a small price to pay if Iran took out Los Angeles or San Diego before promising the crowd he would get gas prices down.

An American "president" saying it's acceptable for Iran to annihilate Los Angeles and San Diego But the worst part isn't that Trump has normalized such traitorous, cowardly behavior No-the worst part is the people in the crowd CHEERING And not a single Republican will stand up and say ENOUGH

The UN High-Level Week is about to kick off in New York. For over 80 years, the UN has been the world’s common ground, bringing countries together to tackle global challenges. The EU is proud to be its biggest backer. (1/2)

Replying to @kajakallas.bsky.social

Together with President von der Leyen and President Costa, we met with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to discuss how to strengthen cooperation in a world that needs more dialogue and trust than ever. (2/2)

Consider that this has been the plan by America's enemies (since USSR fell); destroy America's greatest strength our economics. 1. Corrupt American government by infiltrating the Republican party 2. Undermine trust in America with rampant corruption and blatant hypocrisy 3. Attack America's Allies

Trump’s Arctic adviser has a social feed filled with foreign news accounts, sometimes from outlets sympathetic to Putin. In May, he reposted a video of Putin taken by Russian state media, an action a policy expert later called “super-loaded.”

Starting with when we hopefully win back Congress in November, the investigations and commissions to peel back and shine light on the corruption and grift and illegality that was launched by this regime will begin in earnest. #TrumpCrimeFamily

$38 billion. That is how much of your money the President has spent on his war with Iran—a war he has no idea how to end. His hubris is costing America billions and forcing families to pay more for everyday essentials.

Trump and his Big Lie cronies are plotting to do everything they can to undermine the midterms—but we're far from powerless. We're making sure every eligible voter gets to cast their ballot, every ballot is counted, and the results are honored. This is our strategy in 4 parts:

As one of the No Kings organizers, Ezra Levin, explained, "We are headed into an important point in a democracy, which is whether the people stand up & refuse to allow an authoritarian to consolidate power. And the way to do that in a democracy is by exercising your right to vote...

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

"Double circle November 3 with a dark Sharpie. Because the key No Kings event will be Election Day."

...and by exercising your right to organize to prevent any sabotage in that election. . . . The goal before was to send a message and recruit volunteers to do more civic engagement work...

...The goal this time is to not just send a message. [It is] to take back power for the people through the biggest early vote that we’ve ever seen in this country, and to prepare a nationwide force to push back against the sabotage that comes our way." -Ezra Levin ##NoKings
