Ukraine's survival requires an anti-Putin, anti-invasion Congress

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

The police said she lied about being raped. Then she hit record.

I know I've posted this many times - needs to flood the media until election day.

Medicare for All means we will no longer be nickeled and dimed by corporations who exist specifically to hold our healthcare dollars and pay out as little as possible.

When I became a dad, it changed the way I see the world. We need new people thinking about the future now. Lower costs. Better healthcare. Jobs. A Michigan our kids deserve. More time with each other. I’m Abdul El-Sayed, dad, and I approve this message.

The default judgment rural voters will make when this happens is that it must be the Democrats' fault. But that isn't written in stone. Which is why Dems must do something they never do: Go to rural America and attack Republicans. Not just listen and express empathy, but ATTACK.

Fuck! They all need to be arrested

Want to keep her memory alive? Do a lot of kind things, for a lot of people, no matter who they are. And do it with a happy and humble heart.

Abbott has approved a $26 million contract for Flock to spy on Texans.

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

The Democrats would be wise to get TOUGH. Republicans are ruthless. I am thinking that ruthlessness is rarely stopped with a damn letter. Wake up, Democrats! The GOP has become a fascist movement and a clear and present danger to our constitutional democratic republic and they need to be stopped!

We could eliminate $7 billion in medical debt with the $70 million they spent to beat me in the primary. Those same corporations and special interests are trying to buy the seat for Mike Rogers now. In November we teach them once and for all: Michigan is not for sale.

In case anyone still wonders how he went bankrupt six times.

A Senate candidate talking about the Powell memo???? Pinch me, am I dreaming????

A note on Royce White, the former NBA player who says he's entering the WNBA draft, a judge ruled he abused his wife and teenage son in an April court order and determined he could not have contact with either of them for 50 years. Great way to "protect women's sports" transphobes.

Dear American voter, It is August 6, 2026. Economic growth is slow, prices are up, housing and health care is unaffordable, we are in a war Trump started, we are $39 trillion in debt, corruption in govt is rampant. What are Republicans focused on AGAIN today? Dr. Fauci.

It really seems that his objective is to destroy our country.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

A sitting FBI Director. Hosted by Russia's spy service. Agenda: blank. Timing: weeks before the midterms. I did the deep dive. It's worse than the headline. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

If not obeying law enforcement was the standard for use of deadly force, everyone who stormed the Capitol on January 6th would be laying in a mass grave.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

VIDEO: Body cam shows Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo using his name to get out of a traffic stop. “I’m Joe Lombardo.” Officer: “I’m aware.” Officer lets him go.

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.

Socialism for the wealthy, feudalism for everyone else.

1. Congressman Mike Collins, the GOP nominee for US Senate in Georgia, has spent over $400,000 of taxpayer money designated for office expenses on TV ads that are virtually indistinguishable from his campaign ads.

Oh look...A sounder of pigs, all dressed up in costumes. 👇

The world's first trillionaire did this

“[Trump] is not simply political disagreement. It is the normalization of moral collapse… They are inhuman destroyers of the civic order, architects of decay, and they carry their cruelty the way arsonists carry matches: casually, eagerly, without conscience or remorse.” @notjustadrummer.bsky.social

Extreme income inequality will continue to tear away at our democracy and society until finally enough Americans decide they need elected leaders committed to ending oligarchy.

U.S. automakers are the BlackBerry of the car industry.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tel everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

If you haven't already, it's time to boycott this company. They don't seem to care if we die or get cancer. Let's not care if they make any money.

A little more than a year ago, @paperwords.bsky.social received a letter from the US Forest Service detailing plans for a new wildfire recovery project. But a single word caught his eye—and alerted him to a secret, Big Tobacco-style campaign with ramifications for our forests.

🧑‍🌾 WATCH: “If farmers contract cancer from this chemical, if this makes it into the Farm Bill you won’t be able to sue.” Rep Massie warns🚨about a provision protecting foreign pesticide corporations from lawsuits by sick farmers —a bill rusty grills pushes in Tennessee🤔

Thomas Massie at the Supreme Court this morning: “The White House Chief of Staff worked for a lobbying firm that accepted money from Monsanto / Bayer and that is wrong.”

The controversial weed killer Roundup is now being deployed in private and public forests at record rates. We go inside the secret plan that helped make it possible.

“I knew it was risky to speak out, but my responsibility to Stripes and the First Amendment was paramount,” she said The troops, Ms. Smith said in the interview, “deserve to have the unfiltered news, not what the Defense Department wants them to hear.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/23/b...

You and your neighbors should not be subsidizing the electricity needs of a data center run by a trillion-dollar corporation.   My Power for the People Act would force Big Tech to pay for their own power needs. We should pass it today to protect consumers from rising costs NOW.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater. This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning. Never doubt your power to change the system.

Judge Stearns orders a bond hearing for a high school senior in Massachusetts whose parents served as translators for the US military in Afghanistan. He was detained last week, despite having valid parole status through Oct. 2026, and has no criminal record, Stearns indicates.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.
