Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

🇺🇦✊ Zhorin, 3rd Army Corps: We can state that at the moment the Russians' plans to capture Kramatorsk and Slovyansk have been completely thwarted. They dreamed of capturing the cities in a "claw" with the subsequent expulsion of Ukrainian forces from these settlements.

Omsk is on fire! 🔥 ​A Russian city 3,000 kilometers away from Ukraine is under attack again. Something that was unthinkable only a year ago is a repeating reality now. ​The Omsk Caoutchouc (Synthetic Rubber) plant is on fire. The local Ozon warehouse is reportedly too.

Americans have lost trust in elected officials in both parties, and frankly, I understand why. We need to earn that trust back. Banning stock trading by members of Congress is a commonsense place to start.

In other words, we know we're going to lose. Eat shit, you corrupt bastards.

The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so. What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.

Masked ICE agents threaten handcuffs. Taxpayer-funded intimidation. Constitutional abuse must never become normal. PAXIS.app is people-funded via GoFundMe.com/PAXIS to provide free access for immigrants without direct legal help. Fund it. Share it. Demand accountability.

In 2022, Mike Lawler said: “Before you vote tomorrow, fill up your tank and go grocery shopping — it will inform your decision.” So we took him up on that. Before early voting starts tomorrow, try it. Then tell me if the system’s working for you. It shouldn’t be this hard. You deserve better.

Jimmy Carter gave up a peanut farm to avoid conflicts of interest. Meanwhile, Trump made 28,700 stock trades in office, more than all of Congress combined. When a president trades on that scale while making policy, the rest of us get sold out. #TrumpsCrimesOnYourDime

Take Trump seriously when he threatens to jail election officials for doing the job they’re sworn to do: counting votes. “We are not on the precipice of a constitutional crisis,” Marc Elias says. “We have reached it.” They’re betting you’ll stop paying attention. Follow us to prove them wrong.

It's extremely clear at this point that Todd Blanche has opened this probe for one reason: to block or subvert the real criminal investigation now underway headed by Raúl Torres, the attorney general of New Mexico. The technical term for what Blanche is doing is perverting the course of justice.

Where are all the “it’s only rape if there’s a conviction in a court of law” apologists? They seem pretty quiet on this one.

Dolly Parton’s sister Stella says the voting machines kept changing her vote back to racist MAGA lunatic Marsha Blackburn’s name and had to correct it a few times. Not surprised since the only things fascist republicans do is cheat, lie, steal, crime and destroy. Triple check everything.

Gaza has revealed to us that if they can greenlight and support this atrocity in Gaza, they can do it anywhere. They can do it to any one of us whom they deem as subhuman.

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Sometimes you have to look forward to the rear view mirror. The motherfucker’s time is coming to a close. Poll numbers plummeting. The nation and the world despise his moronic, evil ass. À new day is coming.

As @louisevans.bsky.social pointed out, if individual states must fend for themselves, then let’s agree to that moving forward. But maintaining the current situation and just hoping that Republicans will stop screwing Dem-run states is absurd.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Donald Trump set another record. There’s NEVER been an election (since polling began in the United States) where voters said “corruption” was their top worry. Until now.
