If you haven’t yet had a chance to see or read Barack Obama’s speech in Cleveland Saturday night, please do both. And then share it as widely as you can. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/wise-and-important-words

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

NINE DAYS before an election, Trump says all the “great stuff” he’s done will “kick in later.” You know what actually kicks in later? His healthcare cuts. More Medicaid restrictions. More people at risk of losing coverage.

Ossoff says Trump is coming to Georgia today “to wallow in his failure and disgrace”

Ohio! I’m heading to Cleveland for a rally to support @amyactonoh.bsky.social and @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social. Make sure you have a plan to vote: IWillVote.com/OH

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

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.

Oh my dog the maga fascists are so desperate. Vote. We need it too big to rig. Vote your ass off. And take it to a ballot box, not USPS.

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

This is well done. Make Elon spend it all!

I want to hear less about the polls and more about the consequences. The media should be focused on what the next 2 years will look like if Trump continues to be unchecked by Congress.

NEW: Lindsay Graham and Jim Clyburn were under FBI investigation for bribery. Then Trump dismantled the DOJ & FBI public corruption units. The investigation died. We unearthed it: www.propublica.org/article/nava...

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Ossoff: "I have no interest in running for president in 2028, and to be very frank, with just 16 days before the polls close, I want to urge everybody out there to remain focused on the task at hand. The Trump admin is out of control, they've lied us into war, they've sent prices skyrocketing ... "

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

Lincoln: “This nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom” Kennedy: “Ask not what your country can do for you” Reagan: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” Trump: "I examined his ass"

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

huh. what could this posssssssssibly mean. the US media willful professed ignorance on this stuff is increasingly embarrassing. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

She graduated from the University of Hair Extensions Law School and was barred in the great state of "And Such As."

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

The Art of the Deal, folks. Donald is such an idiot.

Okay so we have a number now: the Onion is officially 6 months ahead of reality.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

jesus christ i have never heard a democratic talk this bluntly about an opponent

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

This money is absolutely meaningless to Elon Musk, but it has the potential to completely rewrite your future. He's spent over $36 million in about 4 weeks, and he's adding millions a day. All to corrupt our government to push his agenda. Let your friends know what's up.

SUSAN COLLINS: I was successful in getting road salt removed from the Canada tariff list TROY JACKSON: What about everything else? We can't eat road salt

Truth 👇

OAN: "The GOP chair of the GA Peanut Commission backs Ossoff ... Donald Chase said Ossoff has his vote, adding he likes to support people he believes in. Chase said he's still a conservative R, but claims character matters, and he wants someone in the Senate who will take the institution seriously"

I want to hear from the Cornell administrators who decided writing an essay was proper punishment for the frat rapists. Like now. Somebody stick a mic in their faces and demand they explain. Their faces need to go viral, too.

Trump: Sleepy Joe Biden, have you heard of him? *a few moments later* Trump: 😴😴😴

30% of voters would love it. Fox News would cheer him on. SCOTUS would back him up. Congress would do nothing, except-- Schumer & Jeffries might put out strongly worded statements. It would be 1933-34 in Germany all over again. The end.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.

Child: This is my first time meeting a mayor. Mamdani: Wow, have you ever met a prime minister? Child: No Norway PM Jonas Gahr Støre: *walks over*

My daughter lost a tooth yesterday. My wife was traveling, so I handled tooth fairy duties. I left a $10 under her pillow, which I thought was v generous, but she woke up, saw the bill & said: "But why did the Tooth Fairy leave me $20 last time?" 😆 (I wasn't aware my wife had gone so over the top!)

Nancy Mace told me there is not a genocide in Gaza. It's just a 'narrative,' she said. So I educated her on Gaza and genocide in less than 60 seconds. I brought receipts. I named names.
