🚨 BREAKING: Travis County judge granted Gina Hinojosa's request to inspect Greg Abbott's unredacted Musk emails. Judge Mauzy set Thursday 10 AM as the DEADLINE for Abbott to let her see them. Abbott tried to keep them hidden, calling them "intimate and embarrassing."

Trump is a pedophile until proven otherwise

"Breaking News: Trump is a sex criminal who actively participated in Epstein's crimes" Surely most of us know this by now, but I guess I'm glad we're still finding ways to remind people.

Billionaires are not your friends. Do not trust them

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

10 years after the Republican party has gone all-in on defending a rapist, why is anyone surprised that they are running ads attacking a sexual assault victim? This is who they are. They cannot be reasoned with. Vote them the fuck out. All of them.

Elections are run by the states. This is election interference by trump, which is illegal. Not the worst thing he's ever done. Did u know trump is a pedophile?

Trump just said this about his DOJ's Alaska lawsuit: "I'm the one that said do it."

BREAKING: The Trump Justice Department has moved to preemptively block certification of the results of Alaska's Senate race if Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses.

I made more money than these companies? I don't think so but why would they pay less in taxes than I do??

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

Don't forget that nearly all Republicans in Congress stood by and supported Trump's... -Tax cuts for the rich -Cuts to the social safety net -Iran War -ICE abductions & National Guard deployments -Inflationary tariffs -Blatant corruption His unpopularity is theirs too — and the midterms are here.

I will say at least Vance isn't himself a pedophile. But he does worship a pedophile and will do anything he says regardless of how much it harms US citizens

CNN@cnn.com

"Vance's 2026 closing arguments on the Iran war, high energy prices and immigration are becoming an early test of whether and how, as a 2028 presidential contender, he might handle the tumultuous legacy of his boss, President Donald Trump," writes Stephen Collinson. | Analysis https://cnn.it/4sd9CJz

Ultra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged economic system. To counter Trump’s culture wars and fake populism, progressives must mount a real battle against economic elites who have rigged the game — and shafted millions of working class people.

Discovery+, one of the streamers now owned by David Ellison’s media monopoly Skydance, hiked its prices exactly one week after the merger officially closed. Employees have already been told to expect layoffs — while top executives received pay bumps. Monopolies are only good for the monopolists.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

James Talarico just summed up the entire midterm election in one sentence: “We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis.” That’s it. This entire election comes down to affordability vs. corruption. Which one are you voting for?

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

At least 56 people have died in ICE custody during Trump’s second term. According to ICE’s internal reviews, detention staff did not provide sufficient medical care to at least six of those detainees. ICE has now taken down those reviews from its website. What other cruelty is ICE trying to hide?

The FBI is hiding over 5 million files that expose Donald Trump to the Epstein files. The withholding of Child sex trafficking information is the point to help Pedophiles that are being used to enrich Donald Trump and billionaires. The Republicans know this. Vote them all out.

The midterms are being flooded with dark money & Trump is doing everything he can to suppress the vote. But remember — WE THE PEOPLE outnumber Trump and his billionaire backers. Keep phoning. Keep canvassing. Keep getting out the vote for candidates on the side of working people. It is essential.

WARNING: The Ellison family is about to own CBS News AND CNN. A judge just cleared the deal. Closing: days away. When one family controls what tens of millions watch, democracy loses a watchdog. Independent media isn't a luxury. It's your last line of defense.
