Good for Talarico. As I said a few days ago, the Democrats need to run against Musk. Everyone with a brain knows that he’s the enemy.

Y'all, Republicans are out here saying that paying people $15 an hour is DESTROYING the American Dream. I'm a small business owner, and I support a $25 minimum wage. Because if you work hard for a living, you should be able to AFFORD to live. #AngieforFlorida

How Trump’s FBI Purge Saved Lindsey Graham and James Clyburn From a Bribery Investigation A Hawaiian naval firm filled South Carolina politicians’ campaign coffers with cash and won federal contracts in the state. www.propublica.org/article/nava...

We’re back with our second story about how Trump’s purge of the FBI killed a sweeping bribery probe in D.C. This time, we take you to South Carolina, where two powerful politicians escaped scrutiny: Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. James Clyburn. THREAD 👇

WATCH — @abdulelsayed.bsky.social to ABC: “An ally that takes your money to push you into wars you shouldn’t be fighting is not an ally… I think it’s time for us to realize Israel is not actually our friend.”

We are sensing a pattern

If you’re unclear Amanpour’s exit from CNN after 43 years has to do with the Ellison takeover and her coverage of Israel/Gaza you’re not paying attention. Fascism is taking hold in 🇺🇸, as the Trump-friendly pro-Israel oligarchs buy up the outlets.

Current and former defense officials say former Wall Street executives have taken hold of a wing of the Pentagon and they’re favoring people and companies with close ties to the Trump administration.

This is what it looks like when billionaires and their lapdogs order journalists to capitulate to power, rather than hold it to account.

This week, we opened 385 new affordable homes in Brooklyn. We’ll soon grow the Innovative Urban Village to 2,000 affordable homes, child care, jobs, a grocery store and a performing arts center. That’s what it looks like to build a city without pricing out the working class.

Fair Q

Sport hunters will be able to bait bears in Alaska national preserves, under a final rule the Trump administration announced on Friday. The rule, proposed in March, overturns bans by the Biden and Obama administrations of the practice within National Park Service units. (Via Alaska Beacon)

WIRED contacted officials in all 50 states and Washington, DC, to uncover the extent of a harassment campaign ahead of the midterms.

AI shouldn't be able to fire you, fire a weapon, or deny you healthcare.

This is awesome. If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.

Does Senator Collins regret her vote to confirm RFK Jr? "No."

⚠️ AIPAC Alert: United Democracy Project drops another $94,620 on mailers attacking Abdul El-Sayed on behalf of Mike Rogers in Michigan. Rogers has now benefitted from >$6.1 million in spending by pro-Israel PACs.

God I wish every fucking dem would listen to this

Here's what I know — 100% of the time when Donald Trump needs Susan Collins for a vote, he gets it.

Did ya know Marco Rubio's brother-in-law had a $75M drug ring? And now— "Rubio is helping carry the torch for a now decades-old U.S. foreign policy: claiming to fight drug trafficking while in fact tolerating, protecting, or even cooperating with…the criminality Rubio purports to be concerned with."

Records show Texas Attorney General Paxton has taken 82 more out-of-state trips with a taxpayer-funded security detail than Gov. Greg Abbott — and nearly as many as the governor and lieutenant governor combined. with @texastribune.org

Tonight is my final debate with Susan Collins. I’ve invited her to many town halls during this campaign. She hasn’t shown up to a single one. After 25 years without hosting one herself, “Our Senator” is long overdue to answer to the Mainers living with the consequences of her votes.

New Yorkers can now compare how the judges on the state's highest court decide on issues like tenant protections, immigrant rights, voting access and policing through a new public information tool launched this week. hellgatenyc.com/comparing-ne...

Even if people protest in Lafayette Square, so what? What makes it the President’s personal preserve? Are we a better country when the President can remove any hint of dissent from his gaze?

"It’s quite extraordinary the level of duplicity that was going on in order for us to keep selling Israel arms.”

NEW: As Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan defended sending U.S. weapons to Israel and denied its assault on Gaza was genocide. In his first year out of office, he collected $560,000 in corporate speaking fees. readsludge.com/2026/09/23/j...

Do you trust the Trump regime to cancel health coverage for hundreds of thousands of people because they claim they couldn’t find them? We sure don’t. Prayers up for these folks who may find out they lost coverage after it’s too late. www.scrippsnews.com/health/trump...

NEW: Canadian Oil Giant Enbridge Builds Unauthorized Pipeline Bypass Following 1.3M Gallon Spill After the largest oil & gas spill in WI history, Enbridge's defiance of legalities raise serious questions about the state’s ability to regulate large, multinational corporations. Article at our site.

The vicious and corrupt cycle of monopolization: 1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market. 2) Use their monopoly power to price gouge consumers and shaft workers. 3) Use profits to make political donations. 4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement. 5) Repeat.

As Americans struggle…

Fire stations are paying more and waiting longer for new trucks. Why? A few big corporations bought up the fire truck industry and jacked up costs. That's not right. Corporate greed can't come before public safety.

ProPublica dropped the first story in a new series on corruption in Congress, and it starts with Sen. Susan Collins. A defense contractor illegally funneled $150,000 to a pro-Collins PAC. The company’s CEO later pleaded guilty to unlawful campaign contributions.

The Ohio Democratic Party is repeatedly deleting criticism of Marcy Kaptur, who has released an ad calling transgender people an “ideology” that should be banned in schools. Still think Dems can’t become Labour?

The Paramount deal would put CBS and CNN under one roof—the kind of concentrated media power Lewis F. Powell Jr.'s 1971 memo urged corporate America to build around institutions shaping public opinion. CBS executives later joined the Chamber effort to act on it.

Perpetually “concerned” Susan Collins should be VERY concerned by the latest reporting from ProPublica, revealing her involvement in an alleged bribery/pay to play scheme of awarding defense contracts to a specific firm right after that company made campaign “donations." youtu.be/f2fFlCPjKnk?...

Newsome has no real principle. Everything is a calculated gamble for him. He'll sell you out if he thinks it helps his priorities (himself). Do not trust. Plenty of examples. Trans people. Paramount / WBD merger... the media loves this shit. 🖕 @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Gavin Newsome overrode his own AG's lawsuit to get the merger to go through because David Eillson was threatening that he was going to move Paramount out of California
