I'm begging @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social to run against Musk. He's an unpopular and creepy white nationalist asshole billionaire whose approval rating in most polls is 20 points underwater. You can mock Paxton for needing to be bailed out *and* mock the puppet master pulling his strings.

Elon Musk is single-handedly funding the Ken Paxton campaign:

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

As @theophite.bsky.social has said: share this with people you know in uniform, tell them how highly you think of them, and how you know they'll do the right thing if push comes to shove.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

This measure lost 64% to 36%, remarkable.

A big result: Maine voters have rejected the conservative ballot measure that'd have restricted ballot access. The measure was going to impose voter ID, and restrict mail voting significantly. It lost easily, a year before the crucial midterms there. Our coverage: boltsmag.org/maine-questi...

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans. Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies. Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

Big Money is powerful, but it’s nothing compared to people power. In just 12 hours, our campaign raised $1 million from thousands of Texans across the state. This is a campaign of, by, and for the people.

“He’s been here 25 years cutting the state’s grass, paying his taxes — never even had a ticket… we got a felon in the White House but these are the people they got in there. Without immigrants this country is gonna go down.” 🇺🇸

My name is Bayly, I am 17 years old, and I'm starting my freshman year at UNC in 2 weeks. I've been working as the Chief of Staff at Voters of Tomorrow for over 2 years now, and I cannot be more excited to get to help elect Roy Cooper. Can you repost to spread our work?

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like. And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie

If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

Call them out on this blatant lie every time. If you’re sending this to someone in The Villages, use the subject line ‘New STD Alert 🚨’ to get their attention.

Just a reminder that while her ex nonstop soils himself in public with tasteless displays of wealth and look-at-me, thirsty nonsense, Mackenzie Scott has given away close to $20 billion to 1,600 charities, no strings attached and without any need for recognition.

If voters are horrified, they cannot forget that Rs are solely responsible for the cruelest, most destructive, and most inhumane bill in decades. ..The bill now moves to the House, where every Republican who votes for this cruel compact will soon face the wrath of voters.

Jen Rubin@jenrubin.bsky.social

Republicans refuse to admit that they are hurting ordinary, hard-working Americans... To do otherwise would be confession of their inhumanity. ..MAGA politicians convince themselves those who rely on vital benefits are unfit and undeserving. Republicans dub them “rats” or “vermin” or “murderers.”

How messed up do you have to be to say that stripping health coverage from up to 16 million people, removing food from kids, and raising taxes on some low-income people is “immaterial”?
