Trump waiving sanctions against Russia is the most predictable thing ever. The silence of some GOP elected officials is likewise the most predictable thing. Throw the trash out in November. This isn’t funny anymore

Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window. I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦

Heads up: The Russian government has been targeting Americans with covert online disinformation operations seeking to undermine public confidence the midterms — using a familiar playbook in an attempt to inject chaos into the voting season, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

Only in Republican America is it illegal to give water to people waiting in line to vote, but it's OK for the president to bribe them with a promise of $5,000 to influence *how* they vote.

Good grief

Thanks to stockholdings in Big Oil, Trump has raked in up to $15.5M from his fossil fuel investments since January. Meanwhile, the American people have spent $71.5B more on gas since Trump's Iran War began. When Trump said, "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation," he wasn't lying.

Who is Joe Manchin? Vaguely remember something, something.

I’m not sure how to convey this succinctly to legacy media who continues to go to Manchin for his opinion. But let me try: No one, and I mean no one, gives a fuck what Joe Manchin thinks about anything.

ICYMI — “The padres catching coordinator was taken by ICE at an airport… Oswaldo Pirela has been in 🇺🇸 legally for 10 years… Remember when they told you they were going after criminals and the worst of the worst? Turns out they’re actually just going after brown people.”

yup

Dear Fellow Americans, We're paying more for fossil fuels, gasoline-powered cars, electricity, and bad investments than the rest of the world because they're all building renewable energy systems and industries. We're not, because the fossil-fuel industry owns our politicians.
