BEHN: “Feed kids. Fix roads. And fund hospitals. Instead of handing out corporate tax breaks.” TN-07 Democratic nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social puts her people-first priorities front and center in a high-energy victory speech

MUST-WATCH: “When you live here it feels like a poor country— you’re so reasonable. They painted you in a bad light. It makes me angry.” Bernie wins over WV Trump voters, shows how @marshablackburn & Trump use averages to lie to us + help the rich. Full: www.youtube.com/watch?v

Scientists have created a broadly effective antivenom using the blood of a Wisconsin man who has spent years exposing himself to deadly snakebites from black mambas, taipans, cobras and many others.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @MatsonCartoons)

The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. If you're a vet at risk of foreclosure, we want to hear your story.

Dear ICE Agents: When your parents told you that you could be anything you want when you grow up, they didn’t mean masked kidnappers.

It’s not too late to show up, many protests are still getting started, and we’re already over 2 million+. Today has been incredible. Small towns across America doubled or even tripled their turnout compared to 4/5. Way to go! We never expected these small towns to show up with this kind of force!

Imagine that. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

They think all these people are paid.

WATCH: “I wept today.” On Thursday, @SenatorLamar reacted after Tennessee Republicans passed @SenBoWatson’s cruel bill to keep undocumented kids out of schools through the senate 19-13. 7 Republicans opposed it with Dems. @ToddGardenhire (R) also wept.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Howard Lutnick: "Let Donald Trump run the global economy. He's knows what he's doing. He's been talking about it for 35 years." Hello? Trump has killed almost every business he's ever touched. Watch. https://youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?si=1AQLnUjnabA61SN-

The announcement has sparked outrage from critics, accusing Trump of taking action to “remove diversity” from American history.

"They just sent masked goons to jump her on the street and throw her in an unmarked car and take her away.”

The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve. This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme. Hello?

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Build the wall! Around DOGE!

🤦🏻‍♂️ Just now at CPAC — Musk awkwardly swings around a chainsaw on stage to symbolize their rampage through the federal government, cutting jobs and programs as they pretend to care about the debt (while paving the way for trillions in tax cuts for the rich)

“The rise of a nationalist-religious govt in Israel in Dec 2022 – which intensified the debate over the existence of fascist-racist elements in Netanyahu's govt, & over a ‘constitutional coup’ while maintaining a democratic facade – was a radical turning point…” 6/24/24 @haaretzcom.bsky.social 1/

I’ve known some convicted felons in my life but I’ve never met one who became a convicted felon, paid no price whatsoever for it and went on to hold the highest office in the land.

REMINDER: Tennesseans aren’t asking for vouchers. @GovBillLee’s out of state billionaire donor friends are. 👇🏽https://www.ajc.com/education/get-schooled/conservative-billionaires-use-money-and-influence-to-push-school-vouchers/5KVFZODOCRHURHN7UIOC2BFIVQ/

Posting this story about how Ann Telnaes got censored not least bc it'll disseminate the image Jeff Bezos censored. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Donald Trump tapped drug user Matt Gaetz, who was found by the House Ethics Committee to have had sex with a 17-year-old girl, as America's Attorney General. The country's top cop! If you're not outraged by such blatant hypocrisy, you're not paying attention.

TENNESSEE SCROOGE: Since 2019, the state has taken $31M worth of Social Security benefits meant for orphans. “It reeks of Charles Dickens to make an orphan pay for their own care,” says Sen. Jeff Yarbro who is filing a bill to make sure kids get their money. www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

If you see any local Tennessee media stories asking @RepTimBurchett @DesJarlaisTN04 @AndyOgles why they voted to keep $1 Bilion in disaster relief from storm-torn East TN areas, block help for farmers, keep paychecks from 30,000+ TN federal workers etc please send them our way!🤷🏻
