Trump smirks and shrugs as Wolf Blitzer presents an award for courage and responsibility to the Wall Street Journal for their reporting on Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30B/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $29B and counting It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

Absolutely 💯!!! There should have been a massive PR campaign about the good the infrastructure bill did during Biden’s time (just one example).

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

History repeats…

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

No one wants ICE prison camps or AI data centers in their communities. Because they monopolize resources for inherently evil reasons. It’s time to start listening to the people. No one wants this shit. #maddow

In a sane world, in a world of accountability, the man who incited a deadly insurrection five years ago never would have been able to hold public office again. That reckless, abusive man needs to be removed from office. Now.

8 Million protesters yesterday at #NoKings. No police beaten with flag poles. No fire extinguishers thrown at other humans. No vandalism or theft. No racist flags. No zip ties. No death threats. No pipe bombs. No poop smeared on walls. That's what happens when mature, civilized people protest.

Good point…🤔😔

My favorite part was when the guy who killed 170 kids in Minab said he bombed only military installations on Kharg Island, and avoided oil facilities there "for the sake of decency" It was one of those moments when you find yourself thumbing through Dante to remind yourself how many levels Hell has

Trump promised no new wars and has engaged in military action in Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Syria and Iraq. Trump promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours. It's still raging a year later.
