All that MAGA hates in one photo:

Trump is bragging about $21 trillion in foreign investment but also concerned about trade deficits. I don't get it. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/how-to-spot-a-fake-trillion

In the words of AOC, Susan Collins declared open season on women in America. I’m not just going to protect women’s rights and access to critical reproductive care. I’ll fight to expand them — and make sure women, not politicians, have the final say over their own bodies.

Obama: "Republicans are doing what they always do, running all kinds of scary ads about Democrats and how the woke police will arrest you and force-feed you tofu. We are not gonna fall for that. They run that same okie doke every election. It's tired. Tired!"

The corruption that is putting money in Trump's pockets is costing all of us.

One of the largest job creation announcements in Illinois history.

Sources at several banks have indicated that they have been taking actions independent of user instructions.

Glad she noticed.

This is infuriating and heartbreaking. Please watch and share.

The agency built to protect the vote got gutted by DOGE, and the Trump admin asked what was left to hack a voting machine. In secret. Imagine if this came out about Joe Biden. Trump would call it one of the greatest crimes in American history. Full story covered in today's show, link in comments ⬇️

Holy moly did Aaron Sorkin write this or is this real life?? Treat yourself and watch the whole thing. I want to watch these kinds of interactions for the next 6 years on the national stage. We've got to do our part to help get Abdul to the Senate.

Thank you for making No Kings Day the single largest early vote activation in American history! This is how we will stop Trump’s election sabotage.

At least four people, including three children, have been shot and killed in a mass shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon. While details are still emerging, one thing remains clear: This country is failing its children.

Wishing a speedy recovery to Pope Leo XIV. He continues to serve the world as a much needed source of moral authority when many leaders, at home and abroad, are abdicating their responsibilities.

Keep this in mind when you vote. Vote Blue!

Instagram/META have now barred all my ads concerning the upcoming NY Arab American Comedy Festival on my Instagram account. This has never happened before but we live in a new time where Big Tech oligarchs are focused on making Trump happy. PLEASE help us share info on our fest www.arabcomedy.com

If Congress doesn’t act, Social Security benefits are on track be cut in 2032. Not on my watch. We must protect Social Security by lifting the cap so that those with the highest incomes pay the same share as everyone else.

⚡ Zelenskyy: "Trump said that Ukraine needs a new president. With all due respect to Trump, it's up to our people to choose their leader."

Bravo

Happy Italian Heritage Month, New York. Here’s continuing to fight for Vito Marcantonio’s vision of a government that works for all working people.

Is anybody tired? Yes. Good. If you’re not tired, you’re not trying hard enough. Bryan Winter is a @mass50501.bsky.social volunteer and an Army veteran, and today he stood at the Hanscom Rotary to remind us what this fight is about. Human dignity. Rule of law. Consent of the governed.

Big Oil executives think they’re above the law – and we should all be madder than hell about it. @climateintegrity.org insideclimatenews.org/news/0510202...

Vote for Democracy. Vote Blue!!

Like my friend @rokhanna.bsky.social says here, Congress has a constitutional right to assess the damage of the Iran War. Denying a Member of Congress even a briefing with military officials is a full blown cover up.

Honored to have President Obama standing with us in this fight. This campaign is about working people taking their power back — and building a government that works for them. Now let’s finish the job. Get out and vote.

BREAKING: Former President Barack Obama endorses Troy Jackson for U.S. Senate in Maine: "Troy Jackson is running to be your next senator and I'm proud to be on board" Obama cites Jackson’s record on wages, drug prices, school meals, and abortion rights as Democrats target Susan Collins' seat.

This deal’s going to have an incredibly positive impact on our state’s economy, and nothing the President says changes that.

While Americans struggle to afford groceries, DHS handed a political donor a $464 million no-bid contract for planes it has barely used. This is waste, cronyism, and a betrayal of the public trust. The American people deserve better. op: @nytimes

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

This is unacceptable!

There's news of a plague outbreak in Russia. Here's what we know and here's who in the White House is staffed to handle any U.S. related work on it (hint: it's RFK Jr. and a gutted CDC...) Russia is trying to cover up the media reports on the outbreak, which now has 200 people in quarantine.

A defense contractor CEO + his close associates donated nearly $900,000 to dozens of politicians and got over $40 million a year in government funding. He told the FBI that Sen. Susan Collins was his most important patron. Dive into @propublica.org’s investigation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyi...

The fact this is was completely avoidable and preventable...what the fuck America. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

At least it's not the plague, right? 🤷‍♀️ 😳

Trump's reckless policies & unconstitutional war in Iran have skyrocketed energy costs for families. That's why I'm glad @massgovernor.bsky.social is stepping up to lower energy costs here in Massachusetts. While Republicans refuse, we're doing everything we can to lighten folks' load.

More corruption. During her time as DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem gave over $900 MILLION in contracts to companies led by one of her political donors. This included the purchase of multiple luxury jets well above market value.   Every penny of their corruption must be investigated.

Welcome to the Republican “Golden Age,” folks!

This is good and worth a watch

Kushner's resort island is covered in nuclear bunkers

Susan Collins cannot be trusted with voting on our next Supreme Court Justice. She voted for the three justices that overturned Roe v. Wade. And she's going to do the same damn thing if Alito retires unless we win this election.

Pro Publica’s bombshell report is as detailed a story about government corruption as you’re going to get. And Susan Collins is right in the middle of it.

Something special is happening across the country right now. @rufusgifford.bsky.social tells us what he’s watching ⬇️

Lionesses keep the male lions in check out in the wild. I’d love to see women doing similar things here in society.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 🎀 This month, we honor survivors, remember those we’ve lost, stand beside those still fighting, and encourage every woman to know her body, understand her risk, and prioritize her health. Awareness matters. Early detection matters. Women matter. #Pinks 💖✨

The same people who's mantra was "back the blue" immediately pivoted to "back the blue...except the ones trying to stop an insurrection at the Capitol, fuck those guys." This was the moment that confirmed that MAGA is a cult, choosing violent criminals over police officers. All for their leader.
