This is from two years ago and it is still happening.

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

Missing the forest for the tree. Your papers, please. www.politico.com/cartoons/202...

For all our sake, let's hope the GOP gets demolished.

Rebranding AI will not make it suck any less. Job loss, electricity and water waste, and the impending stock market collapse are not problems that will go away with a name change.

“Too many Americans have absorbed & tolerate Trump’s insane, destructive behavior as a fact of life…the corporate media has facilitated that mentality…we are facing a constitutional emergency with an exec branch working to centralize its power at all costs.” www.americaamerica.news/p/we-are-und...

Go see Mohini Dey if you get a chance. Absolutely incredible talent.

Tariff refunds, DOGE checks, $5000 midterm bribe... please make America less gullible again.

The sucking grows ever louder. The sound of billionaires hoovering up everything. I noticed it about thirty years ago. Do you hear it? #YesCAProp40

It's a scandal that the president of the United States is out of his damn mind. It's also a scandal that major news media aren't telling you that, loudly and often.

It's the corruption, stupid. Every other issue-political & economic inequality, policies that favor the rich over the rest of us, illegal wars, cutting vital services, denying science, trying to steal elections, affordability...all are tied to corruption. davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/its-the-co...

I assume what AP means is: "Lies about noncitizen voting are being used by Trump to attack elections his party is set to lose and to set up an authoritarian effort to overturn the results" If so, they should just say that.

This made me laugh, but please remember it is a distraction from Trump's real failures.

My temporary congressman, James Gallagher, is embarrassed by Donald Trump.

I went out to breakfast the other day and parked in front of this nice house with some nice signs. #FuckFascism #FuckIce

Trump's IRS immunity is like a little kid saying "I'm invincible" while playing. Ok buddy, if you say so.

Happy place

Is it still gaslighting if everyone knows Mitch McConnel is not alive? All the reporting that "he released a statement" seems insane to me. Dead people can't release statements.

There are many better candidates

Does punishment discourage homelessness? Does it address the causes of homelessness? This is nothing to celebrate.

Take note, Republicans. Lindsey gave this miserable piece of trash ten years of his life, sold his soul and licked boot for ten years, and the only thing Trump has to say about him now that he's gone is that he just made it harder to rig the midterms. You're selling everything to get nothing.

Is anyone going to ask the president why he keeps praising Allah?

100%. Anyone paying close attention knows it. The insurrection that began in secret meetings in Washington in December 2020, some of them at the White House, never ended—it merely amended its methods. For now. But not for much longer.

Two people killed at the Chico Library in yet another example of senseless gun violence.

The name change is offensive in both ways.

"I love inflation. You know why? Because we are stealing lots of oil." This is insane. The media is failing to report that this is insane.

They think this is a game and laws are for other people. "the incident involved the “retention and removal” from the Shasta County Elections Office of documents that “may have” contained confidential voter information. Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis was the one responsible"

The Israel lobby, crypto industry, and AI companies are spending millions to buy this year's midterm elections. And they're using shady campaign finance tactics to hide their involvement from the public. Watch.

Today's news: Democrats learn nothing. 2024 election autopsy report ignores obvious reasons for loss like Gaza, Biden age, lack of primary, failure to call Trump a criminal.

Trump is a criminal.

An example of rising discontent with the incumbency among liberals in the race for California’s 7th Congressional District.

Read this. It is happening even if you don't watch the news.

Not His Problem.

Democrats, and many non-MAGA folks, still don't realize that Republicans are playing for all the marbles. They're all in. If they can't get power, they will burn it all down. Trump is not leaving peacefully or legally. We have to prepare.

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

Political corruption is even worse than you think. To build a functioning one-person-one-vote system where oligarchs don’t pull the strings, we need to make anti-corruption the central focus of our politics. @davidsirota.com explains why.
