Amy Acton: "I had a pretty rough childhood…My opponent has chosen to exploit, intentionally, this story in a desperate attempt to save his struggling campaign…It's not going to work because decency and compassion still matter to us.”

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

“Parents are sending their son Kansas to school and she comes home as Sexus”

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

I believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Mike Rogers believes in government of the billionaires, by the corporations, and for the special interests.

If three words about your child is seen as an “impossible task,” I don’t think you should be trusted to continue caring for that child because they are, at best, an afterthought to your life

Yes, Daughters of the American Revolution is notorious for its inclusiveness, especially in the 1920s. Eleanor Roosevelt even quit over their racism. So cool observation, bigot.

In his talk at Princeton, @marcelias.bsky.social noted that the election suppression he worried about was less ICE at the polls and more ICE putting up traffic checkpoints and other things that made access to the polls much harder. And it looks like we’re seeing a version of that in Brazil.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

They have nothing.

See, incumbent has a b in it and many people don’t know that.

Anyone else never gonna be able to unsee this? Or just us?

"Let’s be clear: this is not religious persecution. It’s a test. And you can study for tests. You don’t even have to study that hard. You just have to believe in Jesus." buff.ly/oFYteni

An understandable response I’ve seen to this is “oh so THAT’s where they draw the line?” and as awful as other things have been, with this candidate/party/president, ok yes: this actually seems like a fine place to draw a moral red line

They’re literally all slithering back to the swamp to avoid paying their fair share

ICE “added the robot dogs wouldn't replace ‘human judgment’ from its law enforcement officers.” Well of course not. Can’t replace what was never there. 🧵

I am not in favor of soldiers roaming the streets beating the shit out of people. It's a scandal that the media doesn't bother to mention most of the deranged, racist, fascist bullshit that pours out of Trump's mouth daily. Ho hum, just another day.

Obama in Michigan: "After 10 years of chaos and cruelty and corruption and incompetence and tomfoolery and nonsense the likes of which this country has not seen in modern times at least, you get to say enough is enough. We're voting for change right here in Michigan."

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam opened up a Cheesecake Factory" Obama just spoke to an ELECTRIC audience in Ohio, skewering Trump & Hegseth and making the case that while we may be stuck with the same POTUS until 2029, we are not stuck with a spineless do-nothing Congress Highlights:

Trump was never sending Kushner and Witkoff to broker peace. He was having those two crooks sell our Alaskan public land and our Alaskan natural resources to the fucking Russians as if it were his. t.co/uM4zdlAjQq

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

The Republican Party has all the values and tactics of a white supremacist prison gang and maybe it's time to stop normalizing them as if they were a modern functioning political party

The Justice Department's last-second letters about noncitizen voting contain people with no history of voting whatsoever, and they're moving so fast they sloppily sent one county the wrong list of names.

After he shut down all the green energy projects that could actually save us money.

Britons should use money we haven't got to buy food the country doesn't grow, store it in homes that don't exist, in spare rooms that got taxed away, so we can survive when reservoirs nobody built run dry because of a climate the govt won't protect. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

DHS agents knocking on doors to ask people about their immigration status and whether they've voted likely violate the Voting Rights Act, a federal judge ruled late Wednesday. The order covers nine states through Election Day. www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-d...

A recent post by Pelosi on X.

Rick Scott: "I'm sure it's gonna take a lot more bombing and destroying of the Iranian military force" (So much for their military being decimated I guess!)

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) demands an investigation to establish whether Elon Musk or Donald Trump ordered the sabotage of Ukraine’s Starshield communications, warning that allowing Musk to dictate US foreign policy puts the country at enormous risk.
