Retired attorney; Yanks/Giants fan. Never forget the hypocrisy of the flag-hugging draft dodger, and the murderous insurrection he incited and his party enabled. All in on the fight against fascism, and the nauseating hypocrisy of Republicans
NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report.
Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.
The Writers Guild on Musk blocking releasee of the documentary "Musk": "A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, and social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration over our news and media threatens democratic discourse."
Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason.
He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.
"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage, of a constant belief that life is a zero-sum game. But nothing flourishes in that world." — @snipy.bsky.social
@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?
Ossoff: "I encourage all of you to reach out to the Collins campaign to ask him how explains the continued production & dissemination of white nationalist and antisemitic propaganda from his property while he runs for the Senate. It's one of the most shocking developments in GA's political history"
Musk threatening Congressional Democrats if they hold hearings means the lying white supremacist is running scared. Sorry, Elmo, but you don’t get to harm an American ally with impunity. Put the bastard under oath.
Lindsey Graham was a sad, tortured, closeted gay man.
I’m trying hard to feel sorry for him, but it’s really tough considering his lifelong anti-LGBTQ policy stances.
No billionaire, especially one that gets massive contracts from our government, should have the power to unilaterally decide to shut down communications and weapons during a war of critical importance to the US and Ukraine.
We must investigate this and hold Musk accountable.

If you're not going to allow anyone to respond to your posts, nor quote post a response, then you're muzzling all who follow you, which means I will no longer do so.
In Nevada, they claimed 16,000 noncitizens were registered. Then they produced just 185 names. Nevada checked every single one. All 185 were U.S. citizens.
Even the DOJ admits its accusations are only based on people who are only “likely” or “potentially” noncitizens.
The humanitarian Putin bombed more civilians today. Maybe Witkoff should spend a couple weeks in Kyiv to see first hand how much of a humanitarian his friend in Moscow is.
Imagine being worth $239B and crying about paying taxes towards the state you live in and benefit from. Can he not afford it??
#Zuckerberg is a selfish little twerp.

MUST READ: Neil Bush, brother of one President Bush and son of another President Bush, explains why he voted for James Talarico.
In part: “My vote was motivated by two things: deep concern about Ken Paxton's record and genuine admiration for the character and principles I see in James Talarico.”
Talarico: Elon wants our land. He's already trying to buy one of our beautiful state parks down in South Texas. He wants our water for these AI data centers.
And he wants his very own personal United States senator — and that's what he thinks he can get with Ken Paxton.
If you would like to see Academy Award winning director Alex Gibney’s ”Musk,” the movie Elon doesn’t want you to watch, here’s a link to the distributor of the film’s website that lets you know where it will be playing .
A WSJ report reveals Elon Musk throttled Ukraine's Starlink network, crippling drone defenses. Even though US taxpayers funded the tech, the Pentagon confirmed Starlink retains unilateral authority to cut service. A private citizen should not have a kill-switch military infrastructure. #USDemocracy
Dan Sullivan has tripled his personal wealth while Alaskans have been going backwards financially.
We need to end the war in Iran, end the tariffs, and ban congressional stock trading.
🚨 BREAKING: Democrats have filed a new lawsuit against Trump, asking a federal court to block his administration from:
🔺Threatening election officials with criminal prosecution
🔺 Pressuring states to remove voters from the rolls
The suit comes just a week after Trump’s DOJ sued California.
Meta gave $1M to Trump's inauguration fund — and Mark Zuckerberg himsef has helped bankroll Trump's ballroom.
Now Trump's DOJ has halted a years-long criminal investigation into allegedly enabling and profiting from illegal drug sales on its platforms.
Funny how that works, huh?
Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections.
90% has gone to Republicans.
In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million.
We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.
Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad.
"This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."
Vivek Ramaswamy's at that part in the campaign where the pollster says you're probably going to lose and doing this desperate thing could help but most likely not, also it'll be a stain on your conscience. Being Vivek Ramaswamy of course he did it.
Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."
Election officials & poll workers must be able to work without intimidation. Threats like “if you violate federal election law, I will hunt you down & prosecute you” have no place in our elections. Democracy depends on people making it work. vote411.org@aclu.org@lwv.org@lwvva.bsky.social
JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of.
1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.
"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales Americans told themselves like ghost stories...
"But this alliance now exists."
