This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Jack Smith says he stands by his decision to bring charges against Trump in the classified documents case. "If asked whether to prosecute a former President based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that President was a Republican or a Democrat."

If this isn't a good reason to End Citizens United I don't know what is.

Today I learned that Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clark fan and that Amy Klobuchar knows more about sports than Eric Schmitt.

Hypocrite 86 47

At about 2 minutes into the video AOC explains specifically (better than most) how top marginal tax rates work bsky.app/profile/lach...

Acosta: This is a Category 5 fuck-up of epic proportions. It is likely to go down as the worst presidency that we have ever witnessed in this country’s history. That tops the first administration that ended with an insurrection.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Isn't it nice when there's something we can ALL agree on? #ReleaseTheUnredactedEPSTEIN-Files

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

With every paycheck since your first job, you've contributed 6.2%, and your employer has paid 6.2%. That’s 12.4% every time. Social Security should never be considered a handout – it’s EARNED.

EXACTLY 👇 THIS.......

The current occupant desecrated it years ago.

Meanwhile it appears DOJ some time ago leaked the 37 pages to a Trump-friendly reporter. I wonder if they disclosed that to the judge. “So secret we can’t show you but we leaked them” is not a good look. meidasnews.com/news/trump-d...

I was born in 1973.

. MAGA doesn’t care either .

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

🚨BREAKING: A federal appeals court on Monday ordered Missouri to reinstate a gerrymandered map that eliminates a Democratic district in Kansas City, even though the state has already distributed ballots. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Still too high

A huge thank you to CNN, MS NOW, Politico, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Fox News, PBS News, NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, HuffPost, the Associated Press, Reuters, Getty Images, and AFP for standing together in defense of a free press.

This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

Felon47 is delusional.

I think @darrigomelanie.bsky.social said everything that needs to be said.

JARED KUSHNER CAN GO FUCK HIMSELF.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

I live in Texas The only time we hear from our governor is election time or to support murdering children or brown ppl The rest of the time all Texans are hung out to dry Vote him OUT

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The Fifth Circuit formally put into effect a ruling allowing Mississippi to count mail ballots that arrive after Election Day. The order follows the U.S. Supreme Court’s June ruling that upheld the state’s grace period for ballots postmarked by Election Day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“60 Minutes” — once a fearless national treasure — has been largely gutted. Over a year ago, I appeared on “60 Minutes” because I trusted the leaders of CBS to report the news with honesty and bravery. That will be my last appearance on the show. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Mice on a wheel.

Perfectly states what I've been saying for some time, now.

I wish I had my own little stock market I could invest in before making business decisions that would benefit my portfolio using taxpayer money.

Yes, what this person says

Everyone needs to share this often.

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

So tired of this president and of this administration.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

If Nancy Pelosi had repeatedly told reporters she had no idea what was going on around her, the coverage would have been unsparing and vicious.

🚨 TEXAS: THEY’RE TRYING TO CLOSE 92 ELECTION DAY POLLING PLACES Tarrant County officials are set to vote TODAY on cutting Election Day voting locations from 316 to 224, nearly 1 in 3 polling places gone. Civil rights groups warn the cuts could disproportionately burden Black, Latino & Asian voters

The president of the United States is a rapist.

A truer post has never been posted.
