We're proud to endorse @troyjackson207.bsky.social for U.S. Senate in Maine. Troy is a logger and a union man who has spent his life fighting for Mainers. He's running to build political power for the working families, not the billionaires who have bankrolled Susan Collins for decades.

Trump exempting Russia from sanctions imposed just a month ago is not only traitorous, it is wildly unconstitutional. If Congress and the Supreme Court allow him to override legislation via executive decree we are no longer even a “backsliding democracy”—we have officially become a dictatorship.

Corporate Media has two choices here: either cover this immigration raid on Rep Omar as if it were a normal action within the rule-of-law OR call it out as an insane attack by Trump on his political enemies. Yet even @huffpost.com is choosing collaboration in this article.

The more unpopular he gets, the more he's going to be drawn to Natalie Harp types: mentally unwell sycophants.
1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate Susan fucking Collins? I do. This double speak nonsense is one of many reasons. listen Suzy-Pay-to-Play, you're not pro-choice if you vote to confirm anti-choice supreme court justices. It's a simple as that.
"What will it take for you to admit you are ever wrong?" -- Troy Jackson nails Susan Collins on her vote to confirm Kavanaugh, 8 years to the day after Collins cast the vote that doomed Roe v Wade

Yes, the White House sometimes serves as a branch Kremlin press office, which would be humiliating for anyone who had the slightest hint of patriotism or for that matter personal dignity.
This proves only two things. The Ukrainian campaign against Russian refineries is causing serious damage. Putin has asked Trump to help him out and the US president obliged.
Sometimes I feel like we're in that moment in Field of Dreams where the daughter & James Earl Jones say, "people will come, Ray" only it's "Democrats will win, Ray." They'll win in Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, & even in Mississippi. They'll vote b/c they're sick of tariffs, war, AI, corruption & fascism. 
Scott @scolom.bsky.social is the real deal.

Heartbreak in Springfield, Ohio. Please read this important reporting. It all begins with big lies and it ends with ethnic cleansing and deaths for which we must not only mourn but feel ashamed. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
I donated to the KANSAS Senate race on Friday. KANSAS is in play. hamiltonforkansas.com
Just made donations to three Ohio campaigns I care about. If you can, please pick some candidates in close races and do the same.

In what promises to be the most consequential showdown over reproductive rights since the end of Roe v. Wade, three states with near-total abortion bans asked the Supreme Court to strike down blue-state laws that have enabled tens of thousands of abortions every year across state lines since 2022.

24. As Jack Smith said Tuesday, "grand juries in two separate districts reached this conclusion based on his actions ... Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power."
