I thought he was going to drain the swamp?

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

As one of the candidates featured in these polls - the infamous one in late June that showed me plummeting into single digits (which was at odds with our internals) - here's the impact of this "experiment"

Thank you to all the volunteers and participants who made the No Kings Seattle events so great today! Vote! Vote Early! Vote every race. Use a ballot box, and help a friend vote.

He and his family are the poster children for greed and gluttony!

He’s a coward just like the rest of the Russian Republicans.

Calling Enbridge's continued operation of 73-year-old oil and gas pipelines in the Straits of Mackinac a "ticking time bomb," Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has renewed her appeal to the Canadian oil transport giant to cease operation of its Line 5 in the Straits. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

Curious how facts like this are all over the English press, but in US print media not to be found

Insane tornado footage from France. The camera eventually gets sucked into the tornado and you can experience it from the inside.

"Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran was so gratuitous that it alienated any potential allies, ensuring defeat as soon as Iran did not buckle. Similarly, a naked heist of VZ's resources dooms itself to failure bc it destroys the trust & political buy-in from constituencies required for such a project"

Occasional reminder that there is an ICC arrest warrant against Putin for war crimes in connection with the mass abduction of Ukrainian children.

Thank you Heather Cox Richardson for repeating the truth about the Biden economy. I am so tired of their bashing and lies. He did an outstanding job in restoring economic growth.

Mount Rainier received it's first dusting of snow for the year today.

After we defeat the fascists, we must remember all the people who conspired with them and kowtowed to them. We must make examples of those traitors. We must make sure they wear that stain forever.

This man is an economic illiterate.

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word. Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality. Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too. Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

“Remember, the Constitution doesn’t begin with, ‘I, the president.’ It begins with, ‘We, the people.’ ” —Gloria Steinem at the 2017 Women’s March
