JD Vance: "You ask Ken Paxton a simple question and you will get a direct answer" NARRATOR: Paxton has refused to answer Qs about why he won't debate, why he went to England on July 4 w/ his mistress, why he went to Dubai with his mistress, his 15 homes, or how his net worth has increased 7,000%...

Did James Talarico tell his grandmother that he thought he might be gay? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Has James Talarico been in a 15 year mentor-protégé relationship with gay billionaire Peter Thiel? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Did James Talarico pose in drag? Oh, no! That was JD Vance!

When I see a new garbage political attack ad, I now try to focus on what entity paid for it. I saw one making things up about Sherrod Brown yesterday that came from “Buckeyes PAC,” which I hadn’t seen before. As it turns out, that’s by design. (Thread)

Journalists, DO YOUR JOB.

"You're spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock. Somehow you think that's a better public health message than informing the public about the benefits of vaccines. Really? -- Rep. Linda Sanchez to RFK Jr

"It's there for the taking" - how Trump sees everything in life

The fact that ICE has this level of weaponry on display in an airport is beyond alarming.

this is unspeakable

34 convictions! Somebody find this guy!

This is a threat

Donald Trump is showing off photos of people who allegedly committed crimes that justify the occupation of all of Minneapolis. Look at this guy who was charged with sex assault and obstructing justice. Boy, imagine letting someone like that walk around free.

Trump: "I should've gotten the Nobel Prize for each war, but I don't say that." Narrator voice: "He says it all the time"

Louder please!!

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago

I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris. In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

Being an American is becoming more and more embarrassing & frightening

Disgusting

woah.

Immigrants from around the world are being terrorized by Trump and his evil regime. So the organization that oversees soccer teams from around the world decides to give Trump a made up peace prize. Now that is World Cup level gaslighting.

One doesn't necessarily want the cheapest doctor. We look for the best coverage we can reasonably afford. "Cheapest" and "best" rarely go together. But you know that already, Cassidy. You're a doctor.

Operation Change The Topic From Epstein

And they wonder where we got our morals.

And they wonder where we got our morals.

I remember my high school teachern lecturing US about "correlation does not equal causation". It's important to know the difference.

Congratulations, NYC!! www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

It's not a list. It's more like a lottery pull.

Share this far and wide!

Pritzer gets the mechanics of authoritarianism – systemic intimidation, seizing control of elections, etc. – in a way others in national democratic leadership don't or won't say out loud.

Was it the same black paint that was used in 2020?🤔👇😏 www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Trump wants to control the arts, sports, comedy, universities, news, opinion, etc. It's called dictatorship.

Listening to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social's marathon speech and I just went to CHURCH!

We’re lighting the I-35W bridge green tonight and tomorrow in honor of Melissa Hortman, who found joy and peace in trees and gardens 🌳

Tuberville has set his own bar for racist comments pretty high and I think this tops it.

Late posting this, but these stats @politicojoe.bsky.social shares, Where are the violent criminals TACO keeps talking about in these press conferences?

Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.

Another day to note: A criminal administration is alienating our allies, destroying our international standing & isolating us in this world. Why is it allowed to continue? Where are our lawmakers? They have the authority & ability to stop it NOW. Why are they impotent? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

🧵 1/2 US citizen tackled by ICE in downtown LA—for filming them harassing street vendors. They pinned him face-down, punched him, & then left him seizing on the street. When his family tried to intervene, they were shoved & threatened. The man never touched an ICE thug. Video in 2 parts
