The Trump DOJ just announced they will block the certification of the Alaska Senate race if Mary Peltola wins. This is a 5-alarm fire. We must make this too big for Trump to rig.

The courts are doing everything they can to keep elections fair. I think we will likely see more bomb threats - the 2024 model, and potentially see people trying to prevent voting. That’s why I’m urging everyone to vote early if at all possible. We’re going to win. But it’s going to be stupid.

The residents of Biddeford, Maine are reacting to the killing of a 26-year-old Colombian man by ICE goons today. ICE claims the man tried to "weaponize his vehicle" so they shot and killed him. Hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

🚨 The Trump DOJ has now moved to dismiss the seditious conspiracy case against Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III and several other Oath Keepers who participated in the January 6th insurrection — with prejudice — meaning the charges cannot be brought again.

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

Trump’s escalation just backfired. Iran has now struck a major UAE oil port, along with hitting multiple ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Now? No ships are moving. A critical oil hub is burning. And we are waiting to see if full hostilities resume.

Oh, look! Trump is paying Middle East countries $8,600,000,000 of US taxpayer money because of Iranian attacks he needlessly caused with his stupid war. Donald is smart that way.

At least 2 US ambassadors to Ukraine have experienced Trump’s corruption and Kremlin treason scheme first hand; both have resigned one after another. If your diplomats are sounding the alarm that your head of state is a turncoat, under normal circumstances that would be a trigger for an inquiry.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

A president that admits to hating 2/3 of his constituents and threatens“war” against the people he was elected to serve has violated his oath of office. Totally unfit to serve.
