Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

Mr. Trump - if you’re looking for fraud, I’ll help you find it.  As Florida’s Attorney General, Ashley Moody stole $10 million meant for sick kids and spent it on a partisan political slush fund. You can start there. #AngieforFlorida #WheresAshley

Honestly, Musk’s need for attention is a significant weakness Democrats ought to exploit. If Musk were smart, he’d be hiding his giving the way other billionaires do. But that’s not him. He’s gotta be in our faces all the fucking time. Dems should make this the face of the opposition.

This would be the most any person has donated in any election cycle. And #2 is also Musk, in 2024.

It's important for the Democrats to win up and down the ballot everywhere for many reasons, democracy is at stake. But for me the big reason is to make this schmuck eat shit, and waste his money for nothing. Like he did in Wisconsin last year.

DON’T BE AFRAID, BE PREPARED. AG Todd Blanche was asked a simple question: Will the DOJ try to block states from certifying election results? He couldn’t give a simple NO. Instead, he left the door open to hypothetical scenarios. @marcelias.bsky.social

This kind of video is precisely why transparency is so important. The only reason that Talarico can punch back is that we can see that Musk gave the money.

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Today, while protecting Palestinians, Brad Lander & a group of American rabbis & others were taken by the IDF. Releasing Brad isn't enough, the Israeli govt must release them all.   If this is how they treat Americans, imagine how they treat Palestinians. Trump & Rubio's silence fuels this impunity.

“When Mike Pence blasted Trump for betraying the Ukrainians and bolstering Putin, Flynn blasted Pence, on a variety of fronts—including “You certified an election the base rejected.” Did you know that the Republican “base” has a veto over American elections?” www.jaynordlinger.com/p/france-afl...

Democrats are preparing to investigate Musk if they win control of the House in November, Politico reports. Potential probes would focus on his DOGE leadership, federal job cuts, alleged data breaches, government contracts and Starlink’s role in Ukraine.

When you see all these corrupt, ridiculously unqualified and incompetent Trump officials in action, realize that it is only possible because Republicans have the majority in the senate and voted to confirm them. The only way to stop it is to take that majority away.

Discovery+, one of the streamers now owned by David Ellison’s media monopoly Skydance, hiked its prices exactly one week after the merger officially closed. Employees have already been told to expect layoffs — while top executives received pay bumps. Monopolies are only good for the monopolists.

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

The Trump regime is paying your tax money to Elon Musk through lucrative government contracts, and then Musk is giving hundreds of million of dollars to the Republicans so they'll keep doing that. It's how oligarchs and Republican politicians scam the rest of us.

It's really remarkable how in race after race, Republicans are saddled with the worst candidates imaginable - Paxton, Whatley, Husted, Rogers, Marshall, Moody, M. Collins, Graham... Some of them may win, but my god what a collection of losers, crooks, and dumbasses

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

no coming back from this without punishing the entire chain of command from the officers carrying out this shit to the people at the top giving the orders
