🚨 NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump DOJ ILLEGALLY fired prosecutor Maurene Comey, ordering retroactive reinstatement and backpay. The judge ripped the DOJ’s defense as bordering on “frivolous” and rejected its sweeping claims of executive power.

Political power is meant to be used to fight for the people you serve, not to line your own pockets and sell out millions of our tax dollars for a quick check.

Dan Sullivan is trying to sell Alaska to the highest bidder. He wants to bring in data centers that will drive up energy prices while his family business profits. Alaskans already can’t afford to heat their homes this winter. We can’t afford more of his self-serving agenda.

Wild animals can’t vote, but we can vote for them. Seven ballot measures across six states could help protect and shape wildlife conservation, wildfire prevention, habitat protection, and wetlands restoration. Every forest, wetland, and grassland matters. Every species matters. Vote! 🐺🌎

“As Omar noted in the interview, the Homeland Security Investigations agents would actually have more access to information related to her emigration and naturalization at their office than they could possibly find at her home.”

The relentless attacks on Rep. Ilhan Omar represent something deeply troubling. Political disagreement is democracy. Racism, bigotry and intimidation are not. No woman should be subjected to hatred for her identity, her voice or her refusal to be silenced. #Pinks 📨✨ — Pinks Global

I remember when media did a whole bunch of stories about Joe Biden’s shoes to emphasize that he was old. But Trump can randomly blurt out random noises, fall asleep constantly in meetings, and walk like a drunk failing a sobriety test, and we get almost nothing.

Glad to see more Democrats recognizing that if Elon Musk donates to your opponent, it is an absolute *gift* to you as long as you draw attention. He's a deeply unpopular, dorky white supremacist asshole who's using his billions to try and buy off politicians. Light. Him. Up.

Elon Musk just poured half a million dollars into this race to try to keep his puppet Mike Lawler in office, just like he did back in 2024. But the Hudson Valley can’t be bought. Mike Lawler has sold out to his trillionaire and corporate backers at our expense —

Brian Fitzpatrick says he’s a moderate but votes with trump at every turn. You can tell he’s desperate. Playing ads talking about his brother whose seat he took & having his ex-con buddy make fake ads on Bob Harvie & spent millions on attack ads #PA01 Vote Bob Harvie 🗳️ #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

As public opposition to data centers (and the dirty energy that powers them) keeps growing, Democrats would be extremely foolish to hand Big Tech developers and the fossil fuel industry a massive sweetheart deal. They should vote NO on the so-called permitting reform bill.

The gene therapy Zolgensma helped children born with a fatal disease grow up to run and play. But the cost was stunning: $2M per dose. While taxpayers and charities funded the drug’s early development, execs, venture-capital backers and a pharma giant have reaped the profits. (Pub. Feb. 2025)

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

JD Vance doesn’t want you to pay any attention to the sound, water and air pollution that they create, and the theft of our land by eminent domain. That they hold massive industrial theft of our data, music, arts and books or that our own government is using that data to track us.
