Republicans want to police what’s in your pants while Trump fights to keep Epstein records under wraps. Apparently, your private parts are everybody’s business, but the Epstein files aren’t. Had enough of this hypocrisy? Take that anger to the ballot box. #BlueWaveIn8Days

Anyone else deeply ashamed of our country for allowing a convicted felon, pathological liar, serial abuser of women, and traitor to seize power? Ready to fight back? Vote against all Republicans.

Imagine if, four years after invading Iraq, we controlled only 20% of it and had suffered 1.3 million casualties. Would anyone call that “winning”? Of course not. But when it’s Russia, we’re supposed to believe Putin holds all the cards.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Imagine if Al Capone were US president in 1940, colluding with Henry Ford to undermine the UK and support Nazi Germany. That is today’s reality

The US is quickly growing a concentration camp system that will soon exceed Japanese American "internment." Given *everything else*, and you get why it isn't dominating the news. But it's a massive and massively shameful story. We know how these things go from awful to hell. No excuses in 2026.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

Here’s your periodic reminder that Howard Lutnick is still Commerce secretary despite blatantly lying to the public about his personal and business ties with child molester Jeffrey Epstein.

With the midterm elections shaping up to be a massive reckoning for the Republican Party, it's worth remembering that they had a fairly easy offramp from Trumpism in the immediate aftermath of the January 6th riot but they completely chickened out.

Walmart spent $43.4B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2025, enough to give each of its 2.1M workers annual bonuses of $2,953. Last year, retiring CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $29.2M — his largest payday ever and 958x Walmart's median worker pay of $30,520. Textbook corporate greed.

Proud to be the author of the Citizens over Corporations amendment to overturn Citizens United — and excited that the resolution now has 97 cosponsors! Our effort to eliminate dark money and special interests in our politics continues to gain steam — and I won’t stop fighting until it gets done.

Democrats: You pay taxes. We spend the money on you Republicans: You pay taxes, we spend the money on tax cuts for the wealthy and corporate subsidies This is how wealth is transferred from us to them. The same is true for tariffs. We pay the higher prices, but the corporations get the refunds.

Most people are completely unaware of what is going on. It's up to us to tell everyone we know about the horrors of #ICELawlessness. The Holocaust wasn't the Holocaust until it was the Holocaust. And what we're seeing right now looks like the type of atrocities leading up to World War II Germany.

correction on this post, Norway didn’t spend any GPFG money for the first 20 years of its existence, but they did tap it in 2016 for the first time, and repeatedly since then due to the pandemic and rearmament post-2022 www.ipe.com/norway-takes...

Trump fucks up the economy with his tariffs, raises gas prices for every American with his foolish war, piles on to the national debt with his budget & wasteful spending on vanity projects, covers up Epstein, makes billions for himself, then starts yelling about communism to distract.

The entire city is on edge right now. It’s 96 degrees, we’re interrupted every 5 min by the sound of low-flying fighter jets, and the president has managed to ruin July 4th. Quietly muttering to myself: “just wait until IT happens. Everyone will be so happy when IT happens. It’ll be incredible…”

Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

Reminder that DHS should be abolished, as should many of the agencies within it. HSI describes their mission as "investigations into the illegal movement of people, goods, money, contraband, weapons and sensitive technology." But they're guarding a pool so people can't see that Trump ruined it.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

Difficult really, to think of a single, more disgusting act a journalist can commit than lying to the public to justify someone being murdered by their government for activism. But this is who these people always were.

This cartoon isn't an exaggeration—not even 1% an exaggeration. Weeks ago it seemed this far-right Supreme Court would still block any map intentionally authored to be racist. We just learned that that's no longer true. We have reentered Jim Crow, and it's a national disgrace.

Pam Bondi obstructed the release of the Epstein files, violated the law, & denied transparency to the public and survivors. The cover up continued today with Bondi’s closed-door deposition because this White House is afraid of the truth coming out. All to protect Donald Trump, not survivors.

Big Oil has raked in over $23B in windfall profits by jacking up gas prices during Trump's Iran War. Now ExxonMobil, Shell, and Chevron are doubling down on spending billions on stock buybacks — while you pay the price at the pump. Call it what it is: corporate greed.

CNN put together a montage of Trump officials, including Trump himself, saying over and over again for nearly three months now that gas prices are about to drop, any day now

You can’t make this up. Trump’s policy has enriched himself while working Americans are sicker and poorer since he took power.
