Ohio’s largest paper, Cleveland’s Plain Dealer, broke its own no-endorsement policy to back Amy Acton for governor, saying it “cannot remain silent” after Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad used her childhood abuse against her. Election Day is Nov. 3. #OhioGovernor #Ohio #VoteBlue

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

House Judiciary Committee Democrats released a 53-page report accusing Donald Trump’s Justice Department of covering up his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. It lays out the accounts of 11 women. 5 directly accuse Trump of rape /sexual assault. Democrats want a special counsel. Only 1 man can appoint one.

I didn't vote for a person to win in November. I voted to save Democracy. I voted to end the hate & lies. I voted to ensure Trump faces justice for his crimes. I voted to stop Trump's hostile takeover of America. Your vote is your voice, let it be heard! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Newsweek: Trump bought as much as $2.55 million worth of stock in pharmaceutical companies that later benefited from changes to Medicare drug price negotiations, including purchases made days before Trump signed the changes into law. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Barack Obama just endorsed Angie Nixon for U.S. Senate! She may not have the full backing of the Democratic establishment, but she’s building support from the biggest names in the party. LFG! 🔥

Jared’s father, Charles Kushner, pleaded guilty to 18 counts of tax evasion and witness tampering. He hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, videotaped it, and mailed the tape to his sister. Trump pardoned him and made him Ambassador to France and Monaco. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...

This man was dead weight, hanging high above the ground after touching a high-voltage line. His coworker climbed up, held him in place, gave him mouth-to-mouth. Randall Champion survived—and lived another 35 years. Rocco Morabito’s photo, “The Kiss of Life,” won the Pulitzer Prize. True heroism.

🚨BREAKING: In a win for Utah voters, a Trump-appointed federal judge dismissed the DOJ's lawsuit seeking to obtain the state's unredacted voter registration list. The ruling puts the department at 0-27 in its sweeping legal effort for access to states' voter data.

This is the America I believe in. When barriers go up, our young people don’t back down—they organize, they mobilize, and they show up to vote. Proud of the students at North Carolina A&T, UNCG, Bennett, and Greensboro College who marched miles to the polls. Thank you students. 🙏🏻 VOTE BLUE.

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social Can you and your team contact the parents of the 18 schoolchildren this Somali man saved and either do interviews or organize a press conference? We can’t trust local media to highlight this and we need to counteract MAGA’s disgusting narrative bsky.app/profile/thet...

MINNESOTA: “I don’t think about myself. The youth are the most innocent. Anything you can do to save them is worth it.” ♥️ Endless stories attack the MN Somali-American community— but Ebro Ahmed🦸🏽‍♂️saves a bus 🚌 full of kids and stories mostly leave out that he’s Somali? 🤔
