Day 3 of Early Voting here in New York. Just got back from the polls. So great to see long lines at 2 in the afternoon on a Monday! Took me about 40 mins. from getting out of my car to getting back in it after voting. VOTE BLUE! 💙💙💙

CALIFORNIA: VOTE NO ON PROP 39! The ads are LYING to you. Prop 39 is a right wing Trojan Horse Voter ID bill that will let the GOP and the Trump crime family make voting harder, riskier, and more expensive. VOTE NO ON 39. IT’S A TRICK.

Ken Paxton is selling off Texas — our land, our water, our communities. Data centers bankroll Paxton, they get tax breaks, and you get stuck with the bill. Texas, YOU have a chance to make history! Get ready for the #BueWaveIn20Days ⭐️

Let them sneer. Let them scheme. Let them spend billions. Twenty days from now they find out what millions of angry, organized people can do. Vote early where you can. Bring the whole damn block. #BlueWaveIn20Days #Pinks ⭐️

Every politician claims to care about Epstein's survivors until a vote costs them something. So cost them. Twenty days left. Early voting is open in some states, not all, so check yours. Go in person, bring three people, and vote like survivors are watching. #BlueWaveIn20Days #Pinks 🌊✨

WTF. I have friends and family in L.A. and San Diego. I lived in L.A. for 40-some years and have wonderful memories of my time there. This fucking unflushed commode needs to go. Now. He's unhinged and full of malice and spite, and he's going to get us all killed if something isn't done.

From the Lincoln Project: Trump is the first president to call for America to be attacked. And his Republican allies said nothing. They don't care about you, or the country. Vote Democratic this November. The future of America depends on it. youtu.be/DhIeyeqI2Ng?...

Yes!

🙄 OMFG. THIS is the President of the United States? Come on, Congress. Do your effing job and get this senile deranged whackadoodle out of there before he gives Xi (or Putin or Kim or some other tin pot dictator) the nuclear codes or something. 😬😡

I’d like to report an internet fatality.

They all knew ahead of time who he is...

WTF? This is some seriously effed up shit.

one MAGA preacher says that God is going to lower the price of gas. another is building an AI Jesus. and the House GOP now says that border walls are a commie plot. all that and more in "this week in stupid," my every-Saturday round-up of the dumbest shit that happened. links here: bit.ly/4rkEO9b

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

This is way more apparent on Threads than on Bluesky but it needs to be reiterated that we are one big tent and the people screaming “corporate Democrat” and “centrist Democrat” as insults need to cut it out. The primaries are over. Focus now is on defeating Trump, Republicans & authoritarianism.

JFC. This a-hole isn’t dying quick enough.

A Florida grand jury found the DeSantis administration “misappropriated” $10 million meant to provide health insurance for poor children. Part of a “sophisticated scheme to fund political activities,” the money was funneled through multiple organizations before reaching two PACs and the Florida GOP.

The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

A word about Trump’s reckless trade war with Canada. This is happening because Trump’s entire career is based on fraud and grift, which means he simply does not know anything about economics, trade, markets. He never has. (1/2)

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

VOTE OUT EVERY DAMN Republican in the US SENATE!

Words to live by.

I celebrate when evil people are no longer in positions of power. If they cling to power until they die, the celebration coincides with their death. I'd have preferred to celebrate him losing an election ages ago, but at least he's gone.

Something stinks… Donald Trump Jr. is part owner of a company that sells guns online. Now, his dad is slashing gun safety regulations to let companies like GrabAGun ship guns right to a buyer’s door without the buyer ever having to set foot in a gun store.

Seriously.

NOBLES: Did Trump break his promise when it comes to housing & affordability? MARSHALL: I'm concerned about the cost of living. We're still reeling from Biden. Real wages are outpacing inflation. This is classic Trump negotiation style NOBLES: Wages are not outpacing inflation. That's not correct.

I want to make housing more expensive- Trump

I know the feeling.

WTF???!

Seems like Republicans can’t wait to end Social Security so us elders can starve to death in a cardboard box on the street. Us elders who paid into it our entire working life.

As my fellow Democrats in New York’s 17th congressional district head to the polls to choose our nominee from a talented group of candidates, a dark money Republican group is trying to manipulate the outcome of this and other key primaries. popular.info/p/progressiv...

🤬

Well worth the read. I do understand where these people are coming from, but I can’t comprehend why they think the well-being of the majority of the population is worth less than making a very few people comfortable now. Or that they think drumpf is the way to their salvation.

This restaurant owner had just had surgery. ICE chased someone into his business & when he objected they brutalized him. Every Republican House member just voted to give these thugs $70B more of your taxpayer dollars. Do everything you can to elect Democrats up & down the ballot! #ICELawlessness

This National Gun Violence Awareness Day, I wore orange at the bridge lighting for the families & friends who’ve lost loved ones, the communities changed forever by tragedy, & the kids growing up in the shadow of gun violence. #Enough #WearOrange @momsdemandaction.org @everytown.org

The daily deadly toll of gun violence in this country is destroying our families and communities. ​#WearOrange today on National Gun Violence Awareness Day to honor those stolen by gun violence each day. 🧡

I’ll be Wearing Orange today. How about you?

Izzy Aly, Egyptian-born engineer caught in the hell of immigration detention, is begging for medical care for his failing kidneys, even as his urine turns red Aly is the poster child for the growing humanitarian crisis inside ICE detention. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/izzy...

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

One wonders how the hell Duffy got confirmed as Secretary of Transportation:
