It is July 5th 2026. The traitors flew their rag to celebrate ‘culture’ in 1965. I was born to late for the Spirit of 1976. America 250 is a corrupt embarrassment. There are 39 years left to crush the traitors, fix this shit, and stage a proper bicentennial celebration in ‘65.

Day 1706 of my 3 day war. Vucic lost in Serbia, Bolsonaro lost in Brazil and Donald couldn't rig a casino he owns, never mind the midterms. I remain a master strategist.

Overheard at early voting today from a hispanic man in his mid-seventies that seemed like he may have been voting for the first time: “Is there a way I can just vote for all the Democrats?” Republicans are so cooked.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

Given that there is not likely to be a national, bipartisan demand for accountability in the wake of Trump — the major distinction with Nixon — any accountability, civil or criminal, will be a partisan and political project that I think should be pursued as vigorously as possible.

1/ Over the weekend, there was a reported case of plague in Russia. I’m seeing a lot of rumors about the event being spread without facts to back it up, so I wanted to jump on here to break down what we do and don’t know about this situation and whether or not you should be concerned.

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

If you're in these 3 states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Alaska Rhode Island South Carolina Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check everything is in order. Do it now. And there's a lot to vote for across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

Boeing really should have taken this line with the 737max: it’s a spooky conscious autonomous agent! We can’t be held responsible if it crashes!

"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)

Yeah, the thing is. That's not how it works any more. Those norms are gone.

Most state attorneys general released Meta from Cambridge Analytica-related claims as part of the child safety settlement. New Mexico wasn't part of that deal, and a jury there just found 26 of 29 past claims about Cambridge Analytica, hate speech and misinformation willfully deceptive.

A public backlash is growing against the predatory companies that try to erase our jobs and monetize everything not nailed down. They want leaders who are going to unapologetically fight back. Democrats should seize that humanist mantle. And it matters who we work with.

Here's some unsolicited advice for my Democratic friends - in office and running. Think twice before hiring consultants who are cozying up to private equity, signing up to defend prediction markets, or telling candidates to not say what they actually feel about the big AI companies.

I'm sorry: I spent way too much time knocking doors doing the legwork to get people's votes counted despite ballot fraud to let this "We're so cooked" bullshit pass. "They did a ballot fraud" is not the end of the line. "We said 'We're cooked' & didn't bother to fight it" is.

if I were married to the guy who's big policy idea was "render innocent people to third world torture prisons with no due process" I would be extremely careful about invoking the ideas of fairness or justice in making the case for how you should be treated!

Katie Miller, who is a co-conspirator in actions Elon Musk took that will kill millions, RTs interview of Maggie Haberman describing that everyone is counting on pardons, whining that "her family" had to pay for lawyers. (There is abundant evidence Trump paid for it & ALSO laundered $$ to Stephen).

Given the outrageous, dangerous, and outright false statements made about how the polio (and other) vaccine was a "fraud" (at the Children's Health Defense conference), here's a reminder of what a massive success it was. RFK Jr. & his minions must be stopped from destroying the US healthcare system.
