Mike Rogers’ wife is handing out $10 gas cards in Michigan while asking people to vote for her husband. Republicans made gas unaffordable. Now they’re offering $10 to keep them in power. #BlueWaveIn20Days

This is the result of 7+ years of Trump's attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social, Somali-Americans, & the Muslim community. Everyone, regardless of party, must speak out against this fascistic abuse of power. If they can do this to a sitting Congresswoman, they can & will do it to anyone.

The Trump administration’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe.

If the KKK had a tv channel would you appear there, even if they had a large audience? No? Then why the fuck are you on Fox News? Cause it’s the same fucking thing.

PSA: Election officials in California, Oregon, Washington and elsewhere are telling voters if you can, return your ballot through an official ballot drop box rather than trusting it to the mail.

Mark Bouffard reposted

When your policies are so unpopular and your track record of success is so dismal, you have to suppress the vote in order to win. Don't let them. Use drop boxes, vote early in person, and mail your ballots two weeks before Election Day to be safe. #VoteBlueInNovember

NEW: In internal meetings, top USPS officials expressed concerns about new mail voting rules. One repeated concern regarded how to avoid invalidating an entire batch of ballots if one voter among thousands couldn’t be confirmed as eligible. www.propublica.org/article/mail...

Obama's admin had 3 people worth as much as $100M+. Bush & Biden's admin each had 5 people worth as much as $100M+. Trump's admin? 57 PEOPLE, excluding Trump, worth as much as $100M+. And that includes 8 billionaires. Our country is being run by the ultra-wealthy.

Fox News attempted to scare its audience about Medicare for All. They left out quite a bit. Employers spend over nearly $27,000 for a family plan for each worker. CEO of health insurance companies make $15-$45 million. Pharmacy benefit management companies make billions in profit

Once again, Donald Trump is not a wizard. He can't just manifest things into existence by saying them or with a tweet. There is no "right" to do this in US law, nor is there any mechanism that would enable any of this to happen. Both people in this conversation are deranged.

BREAKING: Bill Cassidy says he’s a YES on Todd Blanche, solidifying his legacy as the man who enabled RFK Jr. to wreak havoc on Americans’ health, and now the man who will let Blanche weaponize the DOJ like never before seen in history and cover up for Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

“Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention [to] his 500 days of corruption… But this is why Trump is not fixing America’s problems: he’s too busy rigging the rules for himself. Once corruption becomes normal, it becomes permanent. We cannot let that happen.” @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

Just the fact that media calls it a “Weaponization Fund” shows utter failure to meet the moment. It’s like when you call Trump’s budget a “Big Beautiful Bill.” They get you to launder regime propaganda by creating a title that is a false characterization, which gets published.

The SAVE America Act mandates that all voters must bring to the polls specifically a photo ID which has proof of citizenship “on the front of the document.” So REAL IDs don’t count. If the ID does not precisely conform to that standard, you must also bring separate proof of citizenship.

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

There's an alternative universe where you're not only penalized for fraud (states don't need incentives to find it; they're picking up a lot of the bill) but penalized for denying benefits to eligible recipients.

Watch Homan trip over himself as he lies about ICE killing an innocent man in Maine. “They’d be alive today if they simply complied… Just comply.” That line sounds very familiar to me. It’s the same script cops have been using when trying to justify brutalizing or killing Black folks.

Reminder: As DNI, Gabbard commissioned two reports from firms who examined voting machines. Both reports say there was no voter fraud in 2020. Trump is blocking the release of those reports. Gabbard briefed the White House. She no longer works at DNI.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

Her job is to fabricate 2020 foreign election interference to justify trump seizing voting machines in upcoming elections, and justify the nationalization of elections so he can control them.

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.
