Curious how the supposed “left wing media” hasn’t given attention to Trump’s father’s Nazi/KKK beliefs. Fred Trump was part of a Nazi sympathizers group in NYC called the Bund. He was also arrested for marching in a KKK rally and fighting with police in 1927. www.washingtonpost.com/history/2023...

Easy to lose the forest from the trees when it comes to Susan Collins, tariffs and Trump. But big picture: Trump launched a trade war for no good reason; Maine is suffering bigly because of it; and Collins has responded to his campaign of destruction by voting with him 95% of the time. #MEpolitics

Billionaires know just how they want Supreme Court justices to rule—and are spending big to tell them

Ossoff's superpower is that he correctly thinks his opponent is a contemptible piece of shit and he is willing to explain why in clear and direct language. bsky.app/profile/atru...

What actual DOJ weaponization looks like. We are very far off the cliff.

ICYMI: The top election official in the red state of Utah has been loud and clear — on and off social media — about her concerns with the Trump administration when it comes to voting rights. via @utahnewsdispatch.com @kuer.org @pbsutah.bsky.social www.newsfromthestates.com/article/utah...

Susan Collins claims that our reporting about CEO Martin Kao’s bribery allegations took him at his word. That’s not true. We reviewed a trove of FBI evidence and legal records. Here’s how we independently corroborated much of Kao’s account.

Let's go, Little Donnie.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. Dems need to be on the side of the many, not Big Money.

One of the first things Fidel Castro did upon taking power was televising live executions by firing squad.

Disgusting. We’re living Idiocracy.

If you see ICE detaining someone in front of you then call PIRC (Portland Immigrants Rights Coalition) at 1-888-622-1510.

The out-of-state corporations buying up our lives don't give a shit about us. The folks at Blueberry Ridge mobile home park in Wells have the dirty water to prove it.

If Trump's FBI won't hold Susan Collins accountable, then Mainers will hold her accountable at the ballot box this November. It's time to go, Sen. Collins.

Republicans' fear of fake socialism in the United States is bringing about real fascism in the United States. Mainly because they are too ignorant to know the difference.

Why isn’t it lower????

USPS in Utah dumped 300 mail-in ballots into a parking lot garbage bin. USPS’s current defense? “Laziness.”

It’s insane that people in Congress are paid over $174K a year in taxpayer dollars whilst making millions of dollars from insider trading whilst getting 18 vacations a year as Americans all over the country struggle to pay for rent, gas and groceries.

Bush was warned, he ignored it, thousands died. 9/11.

I feel this one. I hate what our government is doing to its citizens. I'd say that we deserve better, but do we?🤔

Same stupid people.... Are still expecting DOGE checks and the new promised $5,000 check from their cult leader!

After ProPublica contacted Dr. Joseph Mercola for an article on babies dying after parents turned down vitamin K shots, he publicly reversed his long-held stance that the shots weren't needed. “The data is clear: vitamin K saves lives,” he wrote. (Published June)

We now know harmful “forever chemicals” are likely in the bodies of most people on Earth. Decades ago, 3M knew that these chemicals had seeped into the public’s blood, but they kept that a secret. One 3M scientist helped reporter Sharon Lerner understand how they kept it quiet for so long:
