Troy Jackson rolls out the red carpet for Trump to campaign for Susan Collins. "Let's go, Little Donnie" is the best thing to come out of the Maine Senate race. This guy is a gift. #TroyJackson #Let'sGoLittleDonnie

48 days til Midterms. My most ardent wish is for the enormous blue wave to impeach/remove & prosecute trump & vance. Unredact the E Files. Prosecute them all. Free the wrongly detained, restore justice. Invest in people: Fund education, healthcare, science, families & children. We can do all of this

The lack of major endorsements for the Wisconsin D gubernatorial primary is worrying. Gov. Evers' endorsement of Crowley was too late (for legit reasons). Dem Socialist Fran Hong, the clear leader in the polls, has baggage & it's possible WI isn't ready for her & will vote for MAGA Tom Tiffany.

What he👇🏾said “The reason the majority of racists in this country are white males from low-income brackets with low educations, simply put, is that they're pissed off because they couldn't win a race that was literally rigged in their fucking favor all because they were born straight white males.”

According to most recent independent polling, Kelda Roys is the strongest candidate to beat Tom Tiffany. This is the only post-debate polling that's been done, and the only polling done of indy voters in Wisconsin -- exactly the ones we will need to win the general and flip the legislature blue.

We’re here in West Palm Beach—here are my thoughts ahead of tomorrow’s field hearing with Epstein Survivors. Epstein created a system to not only abuse women and girls—but the system itself. And, it was against a backdrop of wealth and power. The same world as the President himself. ⬇️

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

I am comforted knowing how Americans will manage to feed their families are "the least of our concerns. " WT honest-to-god F?

I think I would come up with a better line than "this war will only hurt you if you consume things," but then I'm not the director of the National Economic Council ...

If anyone is up for boosting, Bandcamp is holding a fundraiser for the Trans Continental Pipeline to help trans people escape from Kansas!

Tomorrow's Bandcamp Friday fundraiser will be for The Trans Continental Pipeline, helping trans folks leave hostile states (ahem, Kansas) for Colorado.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

What kind of a murderous, corrupt government have we unleashed onto the world?

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.
