Did you know every MAGA influencer is in a group chat with people close to the administration where they’re regularly given scripts? They also have a website to sign up for influence campaigns that they never disclose. They’re making bank off of lying to you.

A new Michigan ballot effort is targeting how utilities like DTE spend money in politics—and it could reshape the conversation around accountability. #Michigan #DTE #EnergyPolicy #Accountability #StraightLines open.substack.com/pub/scottdan...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

If you’re a nationalist, you can’t also be a Christian. You can’t spew hatred and refuse to help others and be a follower of Jesus. I don’t care what kind of BS rationalizations you toss out there,you’re not a Christian.

im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality

I love Michigan, but I hate its weather. I returned home from Georgia and South Carolina last night. Temperatures there were in the high 70 with lots of sunshine. Meanwhile, it’s completely gloomy here, everything is still brown and snow is in the 10-day forecast. 🙄

Donald Trump’s second term in office has been an orgy of corruption and incompetence. From shakedowns to bungling of immigration enforcement, the Epstein cover up and now a completely unnecessary war, Trump 2.0 is an unmitigated disaster.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. Remember this.

It’s beyond ridiculous that people in Great Britain are facing consequences over the Epstein scandal when literally nobody in the United States is. It shows just how corrupt our entire political and judicial systems really are.

Streaming television stinks. You get 8 or 10 episodes once a year if you’re lucky. AMC’s Interview with a Vampire is a perfect example. Since premiering in October of 2022, viewers have gotten two seasons and 16 episodes. Season 3 comes out this summer. Good show, but the wait for new episodes sucks

I no longer have faith in any federal government agency, at least under the Trump Regime. These agencies, many of whom were the gold standard in their fields, are now just tools for a corrupt president-strongman. The DOJ is corrupt as its dealings in the Minnesota murders committed by federal agents
